Proceedings Of the Convention at Toronto
Very Harmonius.
TORONTO, Ont, Sept. l9.--When the
Deep Waterways convention resumed
business, Vice President smalley of st.
Paul occupied the chair, and President
j. e. Thompson read paper which
was characterized by Mr.. Fowler of St.
Paul as temperate, patriotic, liberal and
concise, leaving no phase of the cues
ton untouched. The speaker refeared
to the two greatest men in western
railways, Van Horne, Yankee in Cam
ada, and Hill, a Canadian in Yankee
dom, and instanced their establishments
of steamship lines as probable evidence
that they would not oppose the scheme
in hand. O. A. Rowland explained the
terms and effect of the Washington
treaty of 1869. In his remarks upon
the treaty, Mr.. Rowland was applauded
in speaking of war between the United
States and Canada as already yerpin0
upon the impossible, and urged the
formation of an international court to
decide every possible question that can
arise in the future.
The Canal Question.
Several delegates made comments
upon Mr.. Howland's address, and the
uncertain construction of the Washing
ton treaty was especially noted. The
convention decided to make a report
and recommendation for an inter-
national court. Delegate Cooley of
Chicago next favored the convention
with . paper ON capal construction.
Mr.. Cooley spoke of one underlying
theory of waterways in this continent,
viz: that Chicago was 1900 miles srom
the Gulf Of Mexico, and 1000 from the
Gulf Of St. Lawrence, and the ultimate
plan Of contingent waterways would be
o right angle with Chicago at the COR
ner. He said Chicago was doing canal
work Tor two-thirds of the cost Of the
Suez, and Western cities would sooner
have 26.foot waterways than 90 foot,
even Il II involved some DELAY.

breezes that brace up one like
the summer winds at the sea-
shore. IL has only been recently dis

washed by salt water on every strong

A Very satl.laetory Pardon.

Levi A. Ruth is no longer a prisoner in
the county jail here but carries In his
pocket a pardon, full and free, from the
governor Of Delaware Ruth has been
incarcerated here for twenty months on
a charge OF attempted felonious assault
and a more exemplary and agreeable
prisoner was never locked behind cell
doors. Nobody who became acquainted
with this handsome and agreeable young
man could help but think that he was
innocent and should not be thus deprived
Of liberty. The pardon, therefore, gives
the greatest satisfaction
About o'clock last evening a half
hour after the sheriff had broken the
news TO Ruth, carriage drove up TO the
jail and the young man and his effects
were carried to Wilmington. Ruth
formerly lived in New Castle and wa.
