OHIO DEMOCRATS AGAINST BRYAN.
Party Leaders Plan to Send q Hostile
Delegation.

special Dspatcn TO The Evening STAR
COLUMBUS, Ohio. April IA plan Is
going toward under the guidance Of the
democratic machine in Ohio to throw the
state against Bryan In the national conven-
ton. 1t does not appear that the move
ment is in favor of Dewey. however. Not a
single county democratic convention has
been called. The call is not out yet for the
state convention.
1t is understood that the call will not
be issued until after the state repub-
lican convention, probably not before
the last of June. This will not give
time for the selection of national delegates
by popular vote. 1t is proposed that the
state convention select them. The rank and
file of the party is for Bryan overwhelming
ly, but the party machinery is in the hands
of anti-Bryan democrats. II is believed
that John r. Mclean is behind the scheme.
W. S. Thomas, state chairman, is working
il very adroitly.

AN ISTHMIAN CANAL.
Owing to the President's Wish n Pre-
liminary Report is likely.

1t Is probable, after all, that the isthmian
canal commission will make a report of a
preliminary nature to Congress before the
close of the present session. 1t was Ad-
miral Walkers belief upon the return Of
the commission to this country, that 1t
would not be possible to make even a pre-
liminary report of any value at the pres
ent session of Congress, owing to the
enormous amount of data, which requires
to be digested. and the further fact that
the original explorations even have not yet
been completed, the Dariean party being
still engaged in surveying the passage
across that isthmus. Nevertheless, the
President, having strongly urged upon the
commission the value OF such report
it might be able to make at this stage, an
effort will be made to comply. and it is
believed that the preliminary report desired
can be submitted by the 18th of May next.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS, Ohio. April 12.-Representa-
tive John J. Lentz has written a letter to
Clarence NJ. Jones. owner of the Press
Post, democratic organ here. strongly de-
nouncing the espousal of Dewey's candi-
dacy for the presidency. Jones publishes it
today. with an introduction in which he re-
affirms his determination to stand by
Dewey. and his belief that Bryan cannot be
elected. Democracy here is stirred to the
center by speech by Allen W. Thurman
last night in the state convention of DEM
ocratic clubs. in which he declared against
the free silver issue. and said to adopt free
coinage now would be to tie a milestone
around the neck of the democratic party

they will tend to impede navigation.
CAPT. r. H. GOODMAN.
Captain r. II. Goodman. of the bark
James w. Elwell. of Bath, Me-, when
interviewed on the subject. said that
practical shipping men would oppose
the building of such long piers as that
proposed. He said the harbor has al
ready been damaged. He suggested
that plan used elsewhere could be
used to good effect here. He said that
long pier back from the Port War
denis line and parallel with the shore
would furnish the facilities needed by
the Norfolk and Western and at the
same time enlarge the channel. Cap
tain Goodman states that this method
is practiced at tan Francisco. He
states that this same plan is in vogue
at New Orleans, and that even San
Francisco, with her magnificent har-
bor has evened up its shore line by
digging out and filling in and building
big levees. He stated that formerly.
when he came to this port. he could
sail up but that such q thing has be-
come impossible since the building of
the present Lemberts Point pier. he
states his belief that IL the policy OF
building out to the Port Warden's line
here is followed 1t will drive away
many vessels that have been coming
to this port for years.

Henry Crosby, who has been visiting

been understated rather than overes-
timated.

tend to obstruct navigation.
Now that Richmond has gone into
the shipbuilding business and the W.

1t mas given permission to rip-rap q
portion OF the river front.
On this subject the Richmond Dis
patch of yesterday says:
The Common Council last night
adopted II new ordinance governing the
Improvement of the harbor, the effect
of which Is to authorize the w r.
Trigg Company to commence the rip
rapping of the river front from Eigh-
teenth street to the ship-loclxs. This
work will be done at the entire expense
of the company, and While not so pre-
tentious as the vertical dyke originally
contemplated. will be durable and ac-
complisfI-t important purpose OF
securing the channel. The expense OF
building an upright dyke was found to
be too great for the city to bear at
this time.
TO RIP-RAP THE RIVER.
An ordinance was introduced by the
Committee on James River Improve.
ment superseding the original ordi-
nance framed to effect transfer of
one third OF the Justis Island property
to the w. r. Trigg Company. and to
provide for dyking on the river front.
The two ordinances are Identical in
many respects. but there are several
important differences, which Chairman
Curtis, OF the COMMITTEES, and City At
torney Pollard pointed out.
The new ordinance. which was adopt
ed unanimously, provides for the rip.
rapping of the river from Eighteenth
street down to the shlp-lock. whereas
the old ordinance provided for an up
right dyke from Seventeenth street. It
was explained that the cost OF con-
struction. necessitating the expendi-
ture OF $4,000 by the city, influenced
the committee to agree to permit thu
Trigg Company to r!p-rap the river al
It's own expense. The Richmond Ics
Company imposed too onerous condi.
tions for the city, and hence the des
cisioIr to begin the work no higher UP
than Eighteenth street.
The city. under the ordinance will
accept a strip OF land seventy feet
wide from Eighteenth street to Twen-
