THREE GREAT PROJECTS.
Matters Which fiave Long Been
Eoupht For i'm the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The river and
harbor appropriation bill, which has been
agreed to in both houses, provides for
three new projects which have long been
sought by the Senators who have the
credit of securing their adoption. They
are a boat railroad to overcome the OBJ
struetions at The DaIles on the Columbia
River in Oregon and Washington. another
for canal to connect Lakes Union and
Washington with Puget Sound, and the
third to begin the construction of lock
in the Mississippi River. between st. Paul
and Minneapolis. to extend navigation to
the last-named place.
The railway project contemplates a
hydraulic lift to raise steamboats, out of
the water, placing them upon a tramway
car running upon eight or more tracks,
transporting them thirteen miles and re-
turning them TO the water. The estimated
cost is S2.0Oo.000.
The canal which is to connect the
waters of Puget Sound with the fresh
waters of Lakes Union and Washington
i, is understood will be of great CONNER
cial benefit, because it will give ships an
opportunity to anchor in fresh water after
long voyages in the Pacific. Another
benefit is to be gained by having naval
vessels, while not In commission. stationed
in the fresh water.

READY TO SPEAK OUT.
Senator Vest Will Expose Some Lies
About the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Chandler to-
day in the Senate offered resolution
directing the Committee on Elections to in
vestieate the recent elections in Alabama
and ascertain if frauds were committed.
fill tried to obtain recognition to offer
a resolution calling for information as to
the status of the tariff conference. but it
was temporarily crowded out and went
over until tomorrow.
Hill's resolution requiring the Senate
conferees to report the principal items Of
disagreement in the tariff bill and whether
an agreement was likely to be reached bad
not been read when Gray moved an ex-
ecutiye session. Few Senators responded
on the viva voce. and Hill demanded the
ayes and noes. Several conservative SEN
ators voted again st the motion, while Fill,
Murphy, Pugh. Palmer. Gibson. German,
Harris and Jones did not vote. Vest
voted aye The motion was lost-ayes q,

Senator Harris stated that the main dis
agreement was on sugar. coal and iron ore.
Objection was made to the consideration
of the resolution as it lacked unanimous
consent. Mr. Hill insisted that il was
proper matter for the consideration of the
Senate at this time. The Vice-Pres sident

WHITE IS TO BLAME
If the New Chinese Treaty Is
Ratified.
He Made a Speech in Support of 1t
in Executive Session Yes
terday.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The probabili-
ties are that The new Chinese treaty will
be ratified on Monday. In fact it is all a
cut and dried programme. Gresham, for
some reason or other, has been very active
in behalf of the treaty's success, a1d his
lieutenant, Senator Gray, acting chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee, has
been working among his brother Sena-
tors. Senator White has earnestly es-
poused it, and this, of course, has been an
Influential factor toward its ratification.
He spoke in executive session to-day, sx-
pressing his views, which have heretofore
been published, while Perkins made a
strong speech in opposition to the treaty.
A Senator said tonight: "WhiIe it
would be manifesty improper for me to
dlvulge anything that was said in execu-
tive session, l can say that the Senators
were somewhat surprised TO find the Cali
fOrnia Senators so far apart on the Chi
nese treaty question. Senator White gave
some reasons why. from his standpoint.
the treaty should be ratified, yet it seemed
to me and to those around me that if Per-
klns' statements as to the real situation
were correct, and they must have been since
they were not contTadicted, it is a
very doubtful question as to whether
the treaty would not have tie effect of in
Ierfering with the provisions of the law
now in force and calculated TO cure this
evil | will frankly admit that /, and |
think some of my colleagues also, do not
know much about conditions on the Pacific
Coast and the habits of the Chinese, there
fore we listened with interest to what the
California Senators would say. White as
a Democratic Senator doubtless consid-
cred himself somewhat under obligations
to support his party and, therefore, Per-
kins' statement was accepted as rejecting
the opinions and expressing the desires of
Pacific Coast people. Perkins made a
most favorable impression. White said
tonight that he believed the treaty would
be ratified on Monday and Perkins is evi-
dently of the same opinion"

ing of the train, it being conceded that the
train was deliberately derailej by the re-
moval of The rails for q part of the way
across the trestle. There is plenty of ev-
dence to prove this as fact. A fish plate
and the bar with which it had been
wrenched loose were found near the
trestle after the wreck occurred. One
theory is that the strikers from South
Omaha did the work. believing that the
State troops who were to have boarded
the train at Fairbury were aboard. The
company missed connection, however.
This Is not as generally credited as the
other. that the element that has caused
so much trouble in Oklahoma. who are
particularly bitter against the Rock

should have come such a distance to

ture being the one they boarded The de-
tectives are looking for them.

the one who advances the theory that the

bridge. and the isbplates and a crowbar

decided that under the rules the resolution
must lay over day.
Senator Hill said he was heartily in
favor of the resolution. and added: when
it comes before the Senate tomorrow l
shall take occasion to make statement,
which can be done without the violation Of
the confidence of the conferees."
"It is time, l think" said Senator Vest.
that the calcium light Of truth be shed on
the work of the conference. The ealum MES
and false issues which have been heaped
upon the conference and sent broadcast
over the country must be dispelled. With
this end in view l will, when the resolu-

Mills insisted it would be a breach Of
the rights of the House to direct its con-
ferees to return the bill.
Harris hoped the decencies Of parlia-
mentary procedure would be observed.
The resolution should 60 over until to-
morrow, so that the Senators could inform
themselves On the subject.

practically new one and should 60 over.

Speculation in the West as to Who
Will Be His Sue
ceSSOr.

New YORK, Aug. 10.-President Rein
hart has resigned his position as president
of the Atchison road. The matter will be
acted upon tomorrow at meeting of the
directors of that road in Boston.
Matilda Wallace has brought two suits
in the Superior Court of the city against
j. w. Reinhartas president of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe rCsd,
one to recover $4,000 damages and
the other to recover $500 damages.
The grounds of the action are
that President Reinhart issued state
ment on June So 1898. giving the Atchison
surplus at S1,918, $50 above the operating
expenses, and on September 2. 1898, made
another statement showing the excellent
condition of the company and the amount
of securities held in its treasury.
Petitions further charge that on June
so, 1898. the defendant published in the
New York World statement showing the
condition of the company's affairs and set
forth that the statements in the complaint
are confirmed by the report of Stephen
Little, the expert accountant, who made
the statement for the reorganization COM
mittee.
Plaintiff AYERS that on the representa-
tious made by Reinhart she purchased 100
shares of Atchison stock and that she is
damaged thereby to the amount of the
sums she asks to recover. The complaint
has been served on President Reinhart
