OPPOSING THE CHICAGO CANAL,
Attorney General Crow of Missouri
Wants Its Operation EnjOined.

The state of Missouri, by its attorney gen.
eral, Mr.. f. b. Crow, made application in
the Supreme Court yesterday and asked
leave to file bill praying for an Injunction
against the state of Illinois and the city of
the recently opened drainage canal. The
court took the motion, but did not Indicate
when action would be taken.
The principal ground of objection raised
by the bill of complaint filed by Mr. Crow
is that the sewage from the canal will
poilute the water of the MiSSiSsippi river
1t is set forth that there are several cities
and towns on the Mississippi below the
mouth of the Illinois river which derive
their water for drinking and other purposes
from the Mississippi. and that these waters
are indispensable TO the life and health
and business of many thousands of the in
habitants of the state
The contention is urged that Lake Michi-
gan is the natural receptacle of the drain
age of Chicago, and that unless diverted it
would find its way into the lake instead
of the Mississippi river. Mr.. Crow also
represents that not only will the current
filth of 1,500.0OO people be turned into the
Mississippi through the canal but also that
which has accumulate ted on the banks of the
Chicago river for years past, amounting
daily to about 500 tons of poisonous and
noxious matters" If this is permitted, he
says, the waters of the Mississippi will of
"a certainty be poisoned and polluted and
rendered wholly unfit and unhealthful for
drinking and domestic uses" also that 1T
will render useless the various water works
plants on the Mississippi below the entrance
of the Illinois On this account it is urged
that the health and lives of the people will
be endangered and their business interests
irreparably injured He asks for both a
temporary and permanent injunction.

senator Teller Speaks in Opposition
to the Financial BILL

senator Keller Speaks in Opposition
to the Financial BILL
Mr. Teller continued his speech on the
financial bill In the Senate yesterday after
noon after The Stars report of the pro-
ceedings was closed
Mr.. Teller contended that the history of
the American people showed that thew were
favorable to bimetallism and that until
within very recent years the two parties
had commended with each other in their ad-
Focacy of this cause. He renewed his
charge that the financial bill is practically
caucus measure, and had been accepted
from the junta of ignorant men who con-
sututed the indianapolis convention This
ne denounced as an abandonment of the
ieslsiatlve function and a surrender to
outside influences. Still he was satisfied
that the bill would be put on the statute
books as a law because they were unable
to resist the influence behind the measure
Notwithstanding the bill was contrary to
the convictions of some republican sena-
tors and Notwithstanding that as late as
1880 the republican President had upheld
bimetallism. The President had as a mem
Der of the House voted for free coinage and
for the passage of the Bland-Al Allison act
over the then Presidents veto
AS for himself. Mr.. Teller said, few men
mad received greater honors at the hands
OF the republican party than himself but
this was due to the fact that he had been
an advocate of bimetallism. That this at
utude was in accord with the convictions
of the people of his own state was shown
by the platform declarations of all the
political parties of his state.
Mr. Teller declared that the silver dollars
mad been maintained in full value despite
as he said, all the ISLANDERS uttered in this
chamber and in the House because the peo-
pie demanded the silver dollars as money,
and with every one of them they could
procure dollars worth of anything to be
had. He maintained that the American
people and the American nation were great
enough to do anything they deemed right
to do. And if they should determine to
coin silver free it would be successful. He
said at some later date he would under
take to prove that the United States could
maintain gold and silver at a parity as
money. Any statement to the contrary
was in contravention of the facts of his
tory.
Mr.. Teller had not completed his speech,
but desired to suspend and resume to-
day.
The Senate then, at 337 pm, went into
executive session.
After the executive session the Senate

RELIEF FOR FoRTo RICO.
A Delegation Comes to Seek Free
Markets Here.

The advance guard of the Porto Rican
delegation which arrived at New York
Tuesday on the steamer Philadelphia,
reached Washington yesterday in the per-
sons of NJ. Amedeo, NJ. Gonzales and NJ.
Solomon, the latter acting as interpreter.
These gentlemen claim to represent the
agricultural interests of the island, and
their main purpose is to secure open mar
kets for sugar, coffee and other Porto Ri
can products and especially extension
of the present decree under which the fore
closure of mortgages was postponed. The
period of suspension fixed in the decree is
nearly at end. and action in the direc-
ton of foreclosure of the mortgages. espe
cially since the tremendous destruction of
agricultural property caused by the great
hurricane, would mean complete disaster
fU- the planters in the opinion of the dele
cation.
The gentlemen went directly to the War
department in search OF Gen. Davis, gov
ernor general, and were directed to his
hotel, where they entered at once into con-
ference with him regarding an interview
for them with Secretary Root.
Through the aid of Gen. Davis the dele
CATION secured an appointment to appear
before Senator Foraker'S committee This
morning at 1870 o'clock. They We're also
seen by Secretary Root later in the day,
ana spent an hour enlightening The Secre
tary as to conditions in Porto Rico. They
laid stress on the fact that within two
Gays the decree suspending the foreclosure
of mortgages expired and besought him to
act at once to prevent the ruin of the
planters by extending the time still further.
The spokesman. NJ. Amedeo, told the Secre-
tary that the holders of the mortgages were
principally Spaniards, who We're trying to
sell out and get away from Puerto Rico
Tor good. and consequently felt no interest
/ nthe future of the island Moreover, the
mortgages Were in very few hands. Secre-
tary Root has taken the matter under ad-
visement.
Today there will arrive another delegation
from Porto Rico, made up of delegates
from the chamber of commerce. who will
take the opposite view of the mortgage
