Session at Cleveland.
DELEGATES PROMINENT PEOPLE.
The American Congress and the Domion-
ion Parliament Well Represented-A
Deep Waterway to the Sea the Object of
the Gsthering-One Delegates speech.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 25.-The delegates
to the first annual convention OF the
Deep Waterways association IN session
here constitute representative body.
The American congress, the Dominion
parliament, big cities on both sides OF
the international boundary, great uni-
versities and scientific associations,
boards of trade and organizations of
engineers and vessel owners-ail forces
in the commerce and civilization OF the
American continent-are represented.
There are among the delegates men
prominent i'll the scientific. educational,
commercial, financial and industrial
world-and all are inspired by a com
mon purpose-to break the fetters which
have heretofore bound the commerce of
the great lakes by opening deep wa
terway TO the sea. The convention
may not be able to provide the means
for making the great national improve
ment, but 1t will discuss the ways and
endeavor TO select the best.
One of the principal papers at the
convention and which explains the OBJ
ject of the association better than amy
other is that of James Fisher. @ G.,
Al. p, of Winnipeg. The speaker
began by showing the enormous traffic
which has developed IN recent years on
the lakes and rivers tributary to them
ana In6 mdTNtIOuS cApOiI u "AuS which
has developed in connection with the
great inland seas.
Let the 2ofoot channels of the
lakes he said. ''be extended from the
foot of Lake Erie to the Atlantic and
commerce will receive an impetus that
will give results as startling as the un
paralleled progress of the past. And
il will result in a great development of
the rlch northwest on both sides of the
line. / care not in what direction 1t
may reach to Lake Ontario, whether
il be by the Welland deepened to 20
feet or by a new channel through the
state of New y ork. the result in either
case will be the same.
Give us the 20-foot depth TO the At.
lantic and we viii see the huge cargoes
of 4, 600 to 1000 tons that will be fioated

NEW YoRK DEMOCRATS.
A Lively ntest Develops at the First
ID, V of the Convention.

Ds of the Convention
SvRaCrrsE. Sept 25.-The opening
Gav of the Democratic state conven-
ton was Z crucial one with the DEM
ocrats of New y ork state. The formal
proceedings in the convention hall were
brief and of the cut-and-dried type,
but as is usual at political bodies of this
sort. the happenings OF greatest inter
est were behind the scenes.
In the convention hall Mr. Perry
Belmont delivered the speech which he
had prepared, but deprived the oppon-
euts OF the national Democratic adj
ministration of a chance to display
their feeling by omitting a denu Icia-
ton of the third term idea contem-
plated when the speech was written.
There We're the usual cheers Tor the
party leaders, when their names were

the state were in the city, conspicuous

Behind the scenes in the councils OF
the principal committees there were
battles unuer way which directly over
showed the struggles of the various
candidates for places on the Inherent
tickets. The position to which the
party shonld commit itself on the ques-
tion'of more liberal Sunday excise laws
was a bone of contention and some
feeling was stirred over the minor con-
tests for representation, but the only
bitter issue was that between the state
Democracy of New York city and
Tammany, where the former claimed a
fractional representation of one-third
and the latter asserted it's claim TO the
sole control of the party machinery IN
the metropolis. The result was prac-
tically a victory for Tammany. although
