MUST PUSH OUT JETTIEs.
The Mississippi is Shoaling Again at
the Mouth.

Washington, D. c., July 2O.-In his
annual report upon the Improvement
of the south pass of the Mississippi riv-
er, Maj. J. B. Quinn. the engineer officer
in charge, says the labor done during
| the year was only such as required to
| maintain the works in an effective con-
| dition and was not extensive
A channel of 26 feet was maintained
through the shoal at the head of South
Pass, but from May 25 to June 80 the
grand bayou Reach channel did not
! caused by sand waves, and for 1877 days
| the channel in the jetties5 was not main
tanned.
Altogether there were ia days when
a legal channel was not maintained
Major Quinn calls attention to the fact
that in those years the government
must assume control of the mainten-
ance of the south pass channel which
cannot be maintained for any length of
| time under the Eads management with
out a considerable modification in the
| controlling dykes and jetties and con-
! Sidera BILE increase in the dredging
! plant.
From the extension of the bar into
| the gulf it is clear that the prolonga-
ton of the jetties cannot long be post
| poned. The pilots report very con-
| SpicuouS Shoaling in the main river
! just above the head of the passes and
| a great deal of dredging will be neces-
sary in the river itself If the channel IS
to be maintained. A reliable report is
| that vessels drawing scant % feet are
! Materially retarded.
Discussing the future of the project,
| Maj. Quinn says early legislation might
| be had arranging for the continuance
| of the channel after the expiration of
| the Eads contract. A contractor might
be found to take the work at $4O0,OOO,
the present cost. Otherwise the gov
eminent could take it, provide ST.
| 0OO 900 plant and spending another ST.
| 600 600 for labor and material for ex-
| tensions on the basis of a channel from
80 to 80 feet deep. Stating these facts,
| however, Maj Quinn refrains from sub
| hitting any recommendation as TO
which course should be pursued.

TENNESSEE'S SENATOR.
Thomas B. Turley Will Succeed the
Late Senator Harris,

Johnson City Tenn, July 20.-Gov-
ernor Taylor last night made the Off
cial announcement that he had ap-
pointed Thomas B. Turley of Memphis
United States senator to succeed the
late Isham G. Harris. The senatorial
contest has been a sharp and warm
one. The governor it is said has ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
making this selection. In an interview
had with the governor Immediately
after the appointment he said: ct have
chosen Mr.. Turley because I wanted to
1 have chosen him to represent all the
people of Tennessee, but in so doing I
felt it my duty to make the selection
from the grand division of the state
from which the dead senator was elect
ed"
Thomas b Turley is a native of the
city of Memphis and is 81 years of age.
He served in the Confederate army
with the Maynard Rifles, Company [.
fourteenth Tennessee regiment, and
was twice wounded, once at Shiloh
and once at Peach Tree creek, in front
battle of Nashville and was a Federal
prisoner at Camp Chase, Ohio, until
March, 1865, when he was exchanged
and sent south. Since 1870 he has prac-
ticed law in Memphis. He has never
held public office.
Memphis, Tenn, July 20.-When Ques-
toned as to his position on the pending
tariff BILL Senator-elect Turley decIin-
ed to commit himself more than to say
that he was as near a free trader as it
is possible to be, and strictly in accord
with Democratic declarations through
long series of years, lin favor of tar
iff for revenue only" On financial
questions, Mr.. Turley is strictly in line
with the Chicago platform. He will
leave for Washington at once.

monthly for liquor. What applies to
the town where there are open saloons
applies to all. There are men who will
spend their money for liquor while their
families suffer for the necessities of life.
We have seen it done in Burlington be-
fore prohibition took effect in our
state It is also nonsense to tell people
that saloons make better times. Sa-
looms make misery instead of anything
else. While prohibition as we have it
in some parts of Kansas is not a great
success. it is an Improvement over the
old system of years ago when a man
who could raise $500 to pay for city
license could run a place that would
disgrace the devil. This liquor ques-
zion is one that has been and is now
hard to handle. We believe, however.
that the open saloon is a detriment to
the business men of any town. Those
who want liquor let them ship it in
and take it to their homes and use it.
This they have right to do and no
one should object to it. But all people
should object to the open saloon.

ROCKEFELLER'S ROAD.
Mine Owners Will Have
Line of THEN Own.

Duluth, Mimi. July 2O.-An engineer
ing corps, said to be in the employ of
Franklin Rockefeller and other indie
pendent miners on the Mesaba range,
is now surveying a route for "a railroad
to parallel the John D. Rockefeller road.
A prominent Ohio iron ore man, now in
Duluth, admitted today that he knew
the engineering corps were at work
with this objection in view.
He said the independent mine owners
had decided some time ago to build a
road and that arrangements had been
completed. Many of the independent
men are multimillionaires and it is un-
derstood that the stock was subscribed
others were in Duluth a few weeks ago.
This is believed to be the reason the fee
owners have stood so firm in refusing
to reduce royalties to the two big COM
panieS.

vAGARIEs OF SUGAR.

The sudden advance of ten points in
the price of sugar stock yesterday on
the strength of the news that the tariff
conferees of the house and senate had
reached an agreement shows how little
is actually known by the general public
about the sugar schedule and it's effects
the trust.
The people have been told all along
by eastern newspapers pretending to be
conversant with the situation that the
rates fixed by the house bill were not
20 advantageous to the sugar interests
as those in the senate amendment.
This was offered as an explanation of
the steady advance in the price of su-
gar stocks since the schedule was
changed by the senate.
When, therefore, it was announced
yesterday that the senate conferees had
been compelled to recede from their
amended schedule and accept the house
rates it was reasonable to expect that
the price of the trust stock would de-
cline. Instead of doing SO it jumped
up $40 per share.
The language of the sugar schedule,
embodying as it does a lot of verbiage
about Dutch Standard ''polariscope,"
''centrifugals,' ETC., etc, which nobody
understands outside of the initiated,
seems constructed expressly to deceive.
The sugar tariff seems to be built
the principle of the Africans trap which
was warranted to catch a coon a-comin'
and agOin', the coon in this instance be-
ing represented by the consumer of su-
gar. When an institution already pay
ing large dividends on an issue of stock
amounting to more than 800 900, 600,
is enabled to sell that stock at pre-
MUM of $34 share, and can then adj
vance an additional $40 in one day, there
must be a big rake-off somewhere.
If other stocks had advanced in pro-
portion the circumstance might have
been attributed to the near approach of
a settlement of the tariff question. But
they did not so advance. The situation,
then, to an outsider, must appear about
ike this: Either the house rates are
petter Tor the trust than are the senate
rates or else the spectators have tip
that the senate schedule will finally
prevail
If the New York papers are to be be-
lieved, il is a notorious fact that the
action of the conference committee has
been known in Wall street before any
where else, all through its sessions.
The people are not likely to know
anything about the matter until it is
all settled and they begin to pay for it.

OAKLAND'S TIDAL CANAL.
The California Town Wants Its Har'
Dor Improvements Continued

Oakland, Cal, July 20.-The people of
Alameda have forwarded a memorial
to congress asking that the tidal canal
of Oakland harbor be completed. Work
on the canal was commenced 20 years
ago and almost 81, 000, 900 has been
spent on it but no work has been done
on the canal since 1892.
Nearly half a million dollars has been
spent by the cities of Oakland and Ala
media for the construction of sewers
pending the finishing of the canal, and
unless the work is completed the sew
erage system will be of little service.
1t is estimated that a further appropri-
alton of 100000 will suffice to complete
the work.
