Mr.. Hanna maintained that in order to
build up the American merchant marine
it was necessary to have not only capt.
tai and experience, but it was necessary
likewise ito afford our foreign carrying
trade protecton-some kind of induce
ment." If this protection should be af-
forded, said Mr.. Hanna, the growth of
the American merchant marine would be
on par with the growth of the shipping
industry on the Great Lakes.
Mr.. Hanna, in conclusion. said:
I'm my appeal to the American people
for the re-establishment of the big ship
building industry, L want to put 1T Oh
higher grounds than mere dollars and
cents 1t is away and beyond that point

the American people Upon that basis

CHECAGO'S CANAL.
| Members Of the Illinois delegation N
| congress, who are interested in the
| canal connection of the Mississippi river
and the great lakes by water of the Chi
! cago sanitary canal, have been advised
that the report of the commission of the
United States army engineers, about to
be sent to congress, is not entirely IA
vorable to the project. The report Is
| still in the possession of the war depart
| ment, but it understood the project of a
| fourteen-foot canal lock from Lockport,
| at the foot of the sanitary canal, and
| thence down the Desplaines and Illinois
rivers to the Mississippi river, is disap-
| proved by the commission, though i'm
| pliedly it is stated that If the plan Is
| extended on TO st. Louis, a distance OF
| forty miles, it would be approved. In
| view of the report it is said that future
| surveys will have in mind the extern
sion of the waterway through to st.
Louis.
The commission estimates, that the cost
| of the fourteen-foot cut from Lockport
| to the Mississippi river will be about
| $50 00N, 900. No estimate is made on the
| through project to st. Louis.
