OUR WATERWAYS.
Notable SPEECHES at the Annual banquet
ofthn plti,buruh Chnmhcr OfConImcrCr.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Dec. S,-Thc un-
nual banquet OF the chamber OF COM
mercc was held tonight ut the Moaon-
Hahela lIousc. Covers were laid for
two hund-Cd and fifty persons.
Speeches were delivered BY Theodore
c. Search. OF Philadelphia, on The
Future OF the American M0nutnctur-
err" General John a. Wiley, OF Frank
lin, Pa, on finland Waterways" DR..
W. Z. Wilson, OF Philadelphia, on
"The Commercial Museum, OF Phila-
delphia:" s. L. Trent, Pittsburgh. on
Good Roads"
He attributed the phenomenal pro-
grcss Oc the United States TO protec-
dive tariff and improved machinery.
The speaker said we nre coming into
an era OF business methods In the ad-
miniSU1tIOn OF our national affairs,
and predicted that the Incoming ad-
mlnlstrat!on woald he more nearly
business administration than any We
have had thus far.
General John A. Wiley, after rcferr-
ing generally 10 the fact that all the
greater cities nrc situated on Inland
waterways, proceeded to argue that
the Improvement OF them IS above all
things 10 be desired. Further he said
the railroads would not be nj all In
jured by such 4 course, as Il would on
ly relieve them OF the carrying OF the
vast amount OF freight with which
they are now numbered. ; He touched
briefly on the benefits to follow when
the Monongahcia is opened 10 the coal
Ope-ntors and then passed on TO the
Allegheny valley, md said:
THE expenditure Of two or three
million dollars In the construction OF
dams on this river would open up an
industry which could not fail to bring
even greater prosperity than you now
enjoy"
or the proposed Lake Erie and Ohio
river ship canal, General Wiley said
that while the expense over any OF the
proposed routes would be heavy, 1t
would be fully within the limits OF
prudent business transaction. He az
guei:
II. IA well known that the cost OF
water transportation IS 50 much be-
low TINT OF the railroads that even the
saving in freight alone from this tras-
fc In ore, coal, iron, lumber. coke and
all the other products along this val
ley, 10 the markets OF the northwest,
and thc lake traffic with your city.
would warrant this expenditure OF
money with reasonable degree OF as
surance that even MS private enter
price the canal might be made pro-
htablc Investment"

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec, S.-Tho
feature OF to.day's debate In the house
was II tarrf speech by Hon. Galusha a.
Grow, OF Pennsylvania, but II had n
good second In the defense OF the I'm
Ion Veterans by Representative Ring
ham against The charge made In the
Presidents message that there were
notorious frauds perpetrntcd upon tho
treasury through the pension bureau.
Mr.. Grow arose to speak 10 the PEN
sion appropriation bill and made that
and the revenue deficiency the text up
on which 10 base his argument for
revenue legislation. He very plainly
voiced the sentiment mentioned In the
lntelliGcncCr OF to-day, which favors
the adoption OF tarifI measure fran
ed upon Republican lines. His cXcoH-
alton OF the policy OF the present ad-
minlstraslOn was emphatic and he
showed by comparisons deity intro
duced thar the Wilson bill represented
business Ideas and principles which no
business man would or could adopt.
One item alone was cited, that OF tho
importation OF foreign nuts, which, he
said. involved Il large Increase OF i'm
ports and n corresponding decrease In
exports. with no equivalent anywhere,
to make up the loss 90 the United
States. This was but n sample, he said,
OF many items, some OF which he mcn-
toned, which condemned the so-called
tariff on revenue only policy rs unwise
and unbusinesslikc. Ills speech at
tractcd the close attention OF his col
leagues.
1t Is believed now. notwithstanding
the sentiment which Mr.. Grows
speech reflected, that there will be no
legislation on tnrft at this session.
Representative Lacey. OF Iowa, said
tonight that It would be an easy mat
ter 10 reconstruct the DinSley bill and
pass II through the house. but he
doubted II Il will be done. The opinion
seems 10 be that after the appropr!a-
zion bills go through there will be
nothing else OF importance passed dur
Ing the lie OF the Fiity-tourth Con-
gresS
The defense OF the old soldiers by
Mr.. Bl1Sham was complete. He said
that by The showing made by the
President himself the charge OF whole
sale fraud in pension mattcrs was dis
proved. That there were attempts at
abuse Of the law was doubtless true.
but the records OF the bureau showed
that they are being detected and the
Offenders punished. -----------

BRITISH COMMENTS
On the ltessnSc-Vnrions Comments on
the Cuban Portion.

LONDON, Dec. S.-Thc Pail Mall Ca
zette this afternoon commenting upon
President Cleveland's message to Con-
gress. snys:
There IS nothing In the message
unsatisfactory 10 Great Britain. So
far as Cuba IS concerned, President
Cleveland Is neither diplomatic nor
polite. HIS language will please Meth
el' Spain nor the insurgents"
The Globe sees In the message Mon
rocism thrustinT Itself forward in the
usual mcnac!nE fashion" and doubts
Il Mckinley will be grateful 10 his
predecessor for beQueNth!ng the task
OF bullying Spain"
The ST. james Gazette contrasts the
polite cautious tone" OF thc message
with the "minatory message OF year
ago on similar topic" and says:
The conditions In Cuba undoubtedly
give the United States the right 10 call
upon Spain to enforce her authority
speedily or acknowledge that her In
ability to suppress anarchy has de-
nrived her OF her right TO be consider
cd as governing the Island"
