Great Reception.
The Nebraska sound money democrats ex-
pect to make the visit of their national

tive features of the campaign. Generals
Palmer and Buckrer will arrive at
Council Bluffs Monday. AMI that night they
will address big convocation OF the sound

committee

NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-Seldom has there
been such dissatisfaction shown by the spec
tators OF a foot ball game as that demon
strated this afternoon at the conclusion OF
tho contest between Yale and the Carlisle
Indian school. In the first half the Indians
surprised the New Haven kickers by scor-
ing touchdown from which goal was
kicked in less than five minutes and the
form thus displayed puzzled the Blue very
much However. before the first half had
eGded. Yale secured two touchdowns and
two goals, making the score IL to in their

Indians. scored a touchdown, which was
not allowed The decision OF Referee
Hicltok created much dissatisfaction
Neither side scored In the second half. The
crowd surrounded the Indian players cheer
Ing them, and there was not a Yale cry u
be heard. The Indians played n remark
ably strong game and the only advantage
Yale had by trick plays around the
ends. The Indians repeatedly bucked the
center. whilo Yale was frequently repulsed
in this style of play. The tackllng OF the
Indians was fierce, but they were fooled
completely by Iales revolving wedge
around either end. The Indians displayed
the greatest strength and effectiveness III
mass plays, but in open plays requiring
strategy Yale far excelled their adverse
rles

BELLEVILLE. Kan, Oct. 24-(Special)-
Il. Rosewater, editor of The Omaha Bee,
spoke in this city last evening to one Of
the largest audiences that has gathered to
listen to political address in this place
during the campaign. The speech was a
most convincing and complete exposition
of the money question, and cannot fail to &C
complish great deal OF good. This con-
gressional district is conceded to be very
close and such speeches are opening the
eyes OF the people to the fact that the
promises held out by the free coinage advo-
Gates are not based on any good founda-
ton, and can only end In disappointment
in case the people should be deluded into
placing confidence In them.

diseases. tion.

The report continues: 1T is known to
the medical faculty, however, that various
malarial feverS, such as are prevalent IN
marshy localities, have prevailed III that
section from the earliest times. But
from the Capitol grounds eastward to as
far as Eleventh street east the paving OF
the streets and construction of under
ground draiDag has greatly tended To limit
the death rate and lessen the sickness in
that region. Eastward OF Eleventh street
for fully a mile there yet remains an I'M
improved section OF several hundreds OF
acres in extent, which is subject TO the Dale
full airs OF the Eastern branch.
by confninG this stream TO limits only
sufficient to accommodate the outflow OF
water at the highest flood and raising the
ad djacenU flats to Il proper height, not only
will great value be given TO what is now
almost worthless land, but VIII undoubtedly
tend to improve the general health and de-
crease the death rate III all that portion OF
the District of Columbia
AN EXAMPLE GIVEN.
"By way of comparison aud affording a.
practical illustration of how much benett
NAV be attained for suffering humanity by
removing or destroying what are known
as the sources of sickness To definite To-
calities an examination into the results
flowing from the filling up Of what are
known as the 'kidwell Flats, Will afford
a striking and convincing object lesson IN
sanitation A few years ago these flats
presented conditions quite similar TO those
now existing in The Eastern Branch. They
extended from Observatory Hill 10 the
arsenal.
1T was then matter of general know!-
edge that that portion Of the city was con-
sidered siCkly. The diseases which pre-
vailed in malarial sections were very
prevalent, especially in those parts south
Of the Executive Mansion and south of the
Monument Grounds. The improvement OF
the public health was urged as main
reason for filling mp these flats. What in
fluence upon the public health this has
had upon these localities may be seen to
some eXtentin the rollo wing tables, covering
a period of twelve years. BY these IT will
be seen that IN the face Of very rapidly
increasing population there there has been
material and constant decrease in the
mortality"

PLANS PROPOSED.
Government Engineers Tell How the
Iniuroyemenr Couid He Made

Government Engineers Tell How the
Improvement Could he Made.
Som ething should be doue with the
Anacostia flats said Seuator MCMll-
Ian, chairman OF the Committee on the
District, to Times representative yes
terday. The memorial OF the East WASH
ingtou Citizens Association has been pre-
sentei TO the Senate and referred to this
committee by that body. The committee
but there is strong feeling that the
necessities OF the case are pressing. l
think it probable that at the next session
some action may be taken looking to the
reclamation of these flats. No one can
appreciate the reasons for prompt action
any better than myself
Congress has already recognized he Ana
costa as a navigable river. Already there
is a navigable depth OF eighteen feet up TO
the navy yard, and $4,000 has already
been appropriated for the Improvement OF
the lower part of the stream. The river
and harbor act of 1888 contained an ap-
preparation directing an examination and
survey OF the Eastern Branch in the State
OF Maryland. This was made, aud the re-
port shows that that portion of the
river is not worthy of Improvement. This
examination was made by Lieut.. Col.
Peter G.. HainS OF the Corps of Engineers.
dlSO Il survey ts jItJ portion Oh
the river lying inside the District of Co
lumbia and found the case entirely differ
ent. In 1890 he made an exhaustive re-
port, aud this is the basis. from a COM
mercial standpoint, on which all subsequent
action has been taken. In this report, which
is given nearly in full, he says:
The AnacOstia is a tidal estuary of the
Potomac. The river from its mouth to
the navy yard is wide stream, and the
channel, though IS feet deep, is narrow
and Crooked-sO crooked, in fact, that
vessel $50 to 200 feet long, drawing
Is feet of water, can scarcely navigate it.
On the south side OF the deep channel
there is q large area of shoal water or
flats. Above the navy yard the river is
narrower, the average width being about
1900 feet up as far as the crossing of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The channel depth
in this part of the stream Is about 8 feet.
From the railroad bridge TO Benning Bridge
there is channel depth of not less than
6 feet, while much of 1t is from 8 TO
10 feet. deep at low tide. From Benning
Bridge to Bladensburg the stream is very
narrow, with depth of less than s feet
and most of il with less than feet.
long the borders of the channel, as far
up as Benning Bridge and for some dis
tance above, there are large areas OF
flats or shoals, which support a prolific
growth OF water grass and reeds.
IN A BIG WORKSHOP.
The government has established al the
navy yard n magnificent workshop fol-
the fabrication of modern guns and other
appliances OF war for its navy. 1t has ex-
pended, and will continue to eXpend. large
sums annually for increasing the facilities
of this establishment. This navy yard now
