RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
De Vries Looking After Interests
Of California Rivers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE claims
for the Improvement of the Sacra
mento and San Joaquin Rivers were
laid before the House Rivers and Ear
bors Committee by Congressman De
Vries. He took UP the estimates OF
the Engineers Department and asked
that there be- given for the Sacramento
%30oUO, and for the San Joaquin
$4,000. There was a general disposi-
ton in the committee to give CallfOr-
MIA what is wanted, but the amount of
money needed at this time may have
the effect of delaying the improve
ments.
There has been no report made in the
| line of the recently authorized survey
| for the Strengthening of the San Joa-
| quin, SO the amount which will be ap-
propriated this year will be for the
! dredging Of the channel In the COM
| ing report there will be an estimate of
some S1150GO as against $1,000
which was the estimate of the civilian
! engineers.
| Chairman Burton of the committee
expressed his desire to have, the Sacra-
mento River work put under the con-
| tinuing contract system. If this is
done it will mean that there will be
less money set aside this year, but
the work will be done in less time than
=, if it was allowed to depend upon the
| whim of Congress.

ADJUSTMENTS.

ing the latest metropolitan musical ex-
travaganza, "Gayest Manhattan" with
new scenery and a large company.
Quite a full account of the piece and
people of the company will be found
this morning in the department Of
Music and the Drama, on another page.
1t is a travesty on New York life. The
first act is laid in the mall of Central
Park, with its crew of nurse girls, po-
licemen and park strollers and loun-
gers. Hiram Prindle, with his young
daughter, comes from SkeWhegan,
Maine, in quest of an elder daughter,
who has established herself in high So
ciety. His entry is the signal for the
starting of an endless chain of fun,
which does not cease until the curtain
is rung down on the last act. The Sec
ond and third acts take the characters
to the ball room of the Waldorf, and
then to the stage of Roster and Balls.

prehensive in all that we do, and the

soon"
Great applause followed Mr.. Gompers'
remarks, and Henry Lloyd Of Boston,
the conservative economist, took the
floor. He went after Socialists without
gloves. 1t was in the sense of his re-
marks that if the Federation tied itself
TO any ''isms' it would be useless for it
to ask for legislation at the hands of
Congress or the State Legislatures.
The convention adjourned at noon
without acting on any of the resolu-
tions
The debate on social conditions and
proposed remedies for so-called evils
was resumed at the afternoon session
and was continued almost to the close
Of the days proceedings. The result
was an utter rout of the Socialists, their
resolutions being buried by vote OF
four and one-half to one.
