Canton, Ohio, December 13.--Mrs.

2 O'Clock yesterday morning. About
TWO weeks had elapsed since the stroke
of paralysis, which was at once pro-

must come before morning.
TNhe demise of Mrs. Mckinley was

Galveston, Texas, December 13.--The
Incorporation of the West End Dock
company and THE permit 1t has re-
ceived from the government to carry
out its plans, is causing considerable
talk in shipping and railroad circles.
In the first place 1t is a matter of
surprise how quietly the promoters of
this scheme have worked; or to be
more accurate, 1t is strange how little
THE question has been discussed in the
press. The West End Dock company
was Incorporated early in the year. but
NO active steps We're taken for some
time. On November % they filed
plot with the country clerk, showing
the Plots and water front on the bay
norOh of the island and between Forty
first street and the bridge crossing
from the main land ito the island, This
plot contains a certificate sworn to by
George e. Mann, and shows fats there
ON designated to he 700 feet wide and
completely taking every available foot
of water front or wharfage, west of
Forty-frst street.
The Twenty-second legislature passed
an Act on April II, 1891, relating to the
construction and maintenance of har-
bors and channels along the Texas
coats. 1t was intended to apply par
ticularly to the needs of the Arkansas
Pass Improvement company and to
cover the physical conditions there pre-
vailing but hts terms are general and
under them 1T is said that THE flats in
Galveston bay not hitherto granted by
the state can be acquired for private
use at the nominal price of 50 an acre.
This construction of the law, however,
Is denied by others who say the West
End Dock company will have to be
authorized by congress before 1T can
proceed to gain foothold in the man
ner here indicated. Whether Congress
man Hawleys will he appealed to to
assist in carrying out the project re-
mains to be seen.
The question of wharfage has long
been an interesting one here. Away
hack in the '70s war was made OH the
Galveston Wharf company by the daily
press. 1T was cartooned and photo
gIiaphed and declared to be monopoly
an octopus and "a monster that fastens
upon commerce and sucks the life blood
of Industry" Notwithstanding all this.
however, the wharf company has gone
along in the even tenor of Its way and
is still doing business at the old stand.
There is II large sentiment here in fl-
vor of the municipal ownership of
wharf privileges. lit is true this could
not be accomplished without u great
outlay of money, but there is little
doubt if the end sought to he attain
ell would not Justify the expenditure
The experience of other seaports has
been that the private ownership OF
the wharves retards the commercial
growth of the town.
The question is one we'll worthy oil
the best Thought, mot alone of the peo-
pie of Galveston, but of the entire
state.
