WILL HELP COMMERCE
A Scheme to Improve Navigation
on the Colorado.
Governor Hughes of Arizona Has a
Consultation With the Mexican
Minister i'm Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-Governor Hughes
Of Arizona had an important conference
with Minister Romero of Mexico to-day
touching improvements of the Colorado
River which would add to its Importance
as a channel of commerce. The Govern or
represented to Romero that the Colorado
was the second largest stream on the Pa
cifc Coast. He said that with secure jet
ties al the mouth and with some dredging e
along the course nf the stream 1t could be
made nayigable 900 miles, far up into
Arizona and Nevada. tapping the rich
mineral deposits in the mountains and the
fine agricultural and horticultural regions
in the lower country. He pointed out that
Mexico, along the Gulf of California. was
possessed of large forests of fine timber
and immense deposits of coal, in both of
which the southwestern portion OF the
United States was deficient.
Governor Hughes thinks the Govern
ment of the United Stotes would make the
Improvements necessary within its bound
ary if the Mexican Government would un-
dertake to do as much within Mexican
territory. The lower $50 miles of the river
are in Mexico. Minister Romero was very
much impressed with the representation
made by the Governor, and said he would
recommend his Government to give the
matter attention. He thought the best
way 10 proceed would be for the two Gov
ernments to join in the appointment Of a
commission to investigate the entire ques-
riOn.
Minister Romero also took occasion to
deny emphatically the rumor that Mexico
intended to dispose Of the peninsula of
Lower California to an American syndi-
cate. He felt assured that his Govern.
ment would not dispose of the peninsula
under any circum stances.

SEATTLE, Oct. 23.-The bondsmen OF
Adolph Krug, the defaulting City Treas
urer, together with the banks Of the city.
have made arrangements for returning to
the city treasury the amount of the short
age. The actual amount in which Krug
d efaulted was $685. The city took
possession of the warrants, notes, checks
and other securities found in his vault,
amounting to $50. 706. leaving net deficit
of S123,5 SGT. The bondsmen have also
made arrangements with the banks by
which some of the heaviest borrowers of
city funds will be able to reduce this

hood Of $4,000 for Krug and his bonds
men to put up. Owing to the financial de-
preston but few of the bondsmen were in
a position to meet their share of the liza
bility. To save the credit Of the city the
clearinghouse banks have furnished the
money for the bondsmen and Krug to the
amount of $4,000 to make the shortage
good, besides furnishing funds to debtors
who are to make an immediate payment to
the city, taking security for the loans. A
formal proposition Of this character was
presented to the Council by the bondsmen
tonight, and will probably be accepted

And the Senator Predicts That His
Side Will Win Great Victory
Next TIonth.

BROOKLYN, N. 7. Oct. 23.-Democrats in
thousands gathered in the big Academy of
Music this evening to hear Senator David
B. Hill speak. 1t was announced as grand
Democratic ratification meeting, and the
promoters took occasion to have long
series of resolutions printed and dis
tributed. The resolutions contained a
pledge to support Cleveland and the
National Democratic administration and
demanded the prompt and absolute repeal
of the silver purchase clause of the Sher-
man act.
When Senator Hill came to the front the
great crowd cheered and half the audience
rose to it's feet waving flags aud handker-
chiefs. The Senator bore it all calmly and
placidly, and when it was over began his
speech.
He opened with short allusion to the
opponents of Democracy and its prin-
ciples. saying that it was the same common
enemy with whom his party had been
contendiDg for so many years. The Sena-
tor spoke of the Ways and Means Com
mittee and its tariff revision, and said the
country was on the eve of realization OF
Democratic promises. He repeated his
well-known views on the Federal election
law, referred briefly to the finances of the
National Government, and then passed on
to the consideration of the Sherman silver
law, which he called Another legacy left
US by the Republican party"
Speaking on this subject he said: "The
law is illogical in its construction, vicious
in its tendencies and injurious in its opera
tion. The President of the United States,
Grover Cleveland, has performed @ pa
triotic act in promptly conveniDg Con-
gress and recommending the repeal of the
Sherman law. In the desperate effort to
prevent or delay the passage of this bill
the freedom of debate has been abused,
and no matter what may be the outcome
OF the present struggle the necessity for a
change in the Senate rules has been abun-
dantly demonstrated. l promise you that
the effort for change will be continued,
irrespective of the fate of the present bill
The majority must be permitted to domi.
nato and control the proceedings of thai

The remainder of Senator HIPS speech
was taken up with a discussion of State
matters, and he closed with a prediction of
great Democratic victory next month.

EMPoRIA, Kans., Oct. 23-The en-

last night adopted resolutions calling upon
the road to pay its men by o'clock to-day
or have a strike on its hands. This after
noon General Manager Frey telegraphed a
reply to the master mechanic at Argentine
and directed him to read 1t to the men.
The letter has also been wired to all gen.
eral and division superintendents on the
system. The letter is very lengthy and
asks concilation. 1t says the temporary
shrinkage In receipts and the impOssibility
of obtaining bank accommodations made
it impossible not to inconvenience some
employees.

that there will not be trouble, although
the near approach of winter may induce
the men to refrain from the adoption Of
extreme measures. There is no question,
however, that there is large element in
favor of a strike. and the officers of the

be the outcome OF the conference with the

At :05 P. NJ. Jones remarked that he
desired to yield the floor to Telleriof Colo
rado, expressing his desire to resume his
speech at aaother time.
Teller answered the questions as to
whether he thought the Government Of the
United States could with the coinage Of
silver maintain parity between gold and
silver by saying that it could, because he
did not believe more silver would come to
the country than its business would alb
sorb. In other words the demand would
be equal TO the supply. "The free coinage
of silver by the United States alone might
not do it," said Teller. in answer to
query by Palmer, ''but the position l take
is that our example would be followed by
other countries and then the monetary
system would return to the system that
prevailed prior to the demonetiZatiOn of

important Questions to Receive At
tentiOn in Congress.
Los ANGELES. Oct. Ex-senator Stephen
M. White arrived in Los Angeles this
evening to arrange for the removal of his
family 20 Washington. He still thinks
that a compromise will be reached on the
silver question and does not believe that
the amended rules will be adopted by the
Senate. The Chinese bill, he thinks. will
pass.
Mr.. White says that railroad matters
will receive considerable attention. and
the question of granting an extension to
the Central and Union Pacific roads will
call up an earnest debate. The enormous
outstanding indebtedness of United States
corporations, he says, IS exciting much
comment at the Capitol. Attention is
called to tie fact that if the railroads OF
this country had in their possession every
dollar of gold in the world it would not be
sufficient TO liquidate their liabilities. Tho
Nicaragua Canal question will also take
up con siderable time.
