THERE Is one characteristic about
Senator Hill which commands the ad-

fights boldly and makes open procla.

with which he enters into the contest
against Cleveland makes an entertain

Mr.. Anderson has also Introduced
bill 10 amend sections and IL of the

prevent the pollution OF rivers by the
washing OF ores and other mining
operations along their banks. The OBJ
ject OF this bill is TO remedy the evil
which has been complained OF so much
In the case OF the New river OF West
Virginia. But IL is very doubtful IL a
Democratic Congress will pass any bill
of this kind, as IL is generally held that
under the constitution the power OF the
federal government extends only TO the
keeping open for the purposes Of COM
merce and navigation OF the waters OF
navgable rivers. The pollution OF the
waters OF the rivers is a matter that
concerns health, and therefore comes
under the supervision Of the health au-
thorities OF the States.

The true explanation OF the reconcll-

though the desire for a rRpproachment
with Russia possibly influenced the EN-
