Our River Front Privileges.

Our River Front Privileges.
Mr.. Editorials usual, your Dover
cores pondent is the first to discover
the probable danger and loss to the
city in the proposed session of the
Bulkhead privileges to the owners OF
the marsh lands in their rear, and has
already said init" When our city
fathers and our other city papers COO
So pleasantly to the proposal, there IS
still danger Of the consumation OF the
grant, before the people know any
thing of what is really involved in re-
gard to the future commercial inter-
ests Of the city.
In your ever popular paper lies, at
present, the only hope of the common
people !, rights and to bring protection
in this matter when the eye of the
budding capitalists directed towards
the valuable privileges held so lightly
bv the natural trustees Of the peoples
rights.
Why, sir. few are aware Of the ter
rible power over the commercial fu-
ture Of our city, offered 50 lightly for
a mess Of pottagc.
Picture to yourself the difference
between private and public owner
ship, of the limited privileges such as
exist in docks and wharves and when
the enterprising manulacturerorship-
builder appIyS for the privilege of To-
eating his plant on the river front of
the future city Of Wilmington, after
the river front for a mile or two from
the Christiana s mouth to Edgcmoor,
has been carried out nearly Il mile in-
to the river, filled in by government
scoWs and bulkheads at and ready Tor
commercial and manufacturing pur-
poses, he is met then by the capital.
ist. grown fat on the greens" OF for
feited rights demanding cent per cent
of the fullest value and Us u result the
commercial or manufacturing pros
pector turns sadly away to locate at
Some other point and Wilmington as
usual is left.
Whereas, did the city retain its
ownership as it ought to do, at what
ever sacrifice, the same party would
be welcomed with open arms and part
of the full per cent Of com value would
be gladly waived in return for the
grand prospective and general adyan-
tagcs to be gained by the addition of
another mammoth enterprise to the
existing list and the city, State aud
people be greatly the gamer, both dt-
rcctly and indirectly.
In a few years as a result OF the
people 5 wisdom in retaining and prop
erly improving their grand property
on the river front when the other
frontage, also, from the CEristiana
to New Castle is improved and occu-
pied, Wilmington within the lives OF
bows now at school, will have become
the fifth commercial and manufacture
ing city Of the Union, but which cam
not nor never will be if its natural
rights and advantages are pcddIed or
given away to the first bidder at u
nominal price which is not one huG-
dredth part Of their value, especially,
when the privileges in question are
the keys to all future progress and
improvement Of the city's commerce.
Yours truly,
Grecning.

WORK OF
CONGRESS-.
Sc nate Busy With Philip
pine Amendment to
Army Bill.

washington, req. 2O.--lne early part
Of the session Of the senate was deyot.
ed largely to an effort on the part of
the leading senators on both sides to
secure modification Of the Philippine
amendment to the army appropriation
bill which would render 1t possible to
secure q vote upon it. After several
conferences an agreement was reached
which was found to be satisfactory 10
q majority of senators. An amend
ment to the original provision suggest.
ed by Senator Hoar was used as the
basis of discussion, but various add.
tions were made to it, so that when
he again offered it in the senate it was
presented as provision and read as
follows:
Provided That no sale or lease or other disposi-
tion Of the public lands. Of the timber thereon or
the mining rights therein, shall be made, and,
provided further, that franchise shall be grant
ed which is not approved by the president OF the
United States and is not in his judgment clearly
Necessary for the immediate government OF the
islands and indispensable for the interest OF the
people thereof and which cannot, without great
public mischief. lie postponed until the establish
franchises shall terminate one wear after the cs.
tabllsbmcnt of such permanent civil government.
Senators Morgan, Rawlins. Tillman
and Bacon. who had been among the
most determined opponents of the orig
inal provision, were all consulted con-
cernng the amendment, and all OF
them except Mr.. Morgan indicated
fn Inf fhn a m mont
through after reasonable debate. Sen
ator Morgan did not commit himself.
The Democratic acquescence does not
go to the extent of agreeing to support
the entire Philippine provision, but
only to the point Of allowing it to
reach the voting stage.
Agreement ON HnzinE.
The confcrees Of the senate ana
house reached an agreement on the
hazing amendment to the Military
academy appropriation bill. Yielding
to the demands Of the senate they
eliminated the provision inserted by
the first conference at the instance of
the Dick investigating committee and
the house conferces agreed to accept
the amendment rs originally made by
the senate with mohllcalloli anu one
addition. The modification limits the
time during which offenders may be
kept out of the army or navy to two
years. the senate making 1t perpetual,
and the marine corps is added to the
organizations to appointment TO which
they are rendered ineligible.
In the senate a resolution offered by
Mr.. Fairbanks calling upon the secrc-
tary of war for an English translation
of the Cuban constitution was adopted.
The resolution of Mr.. Morgan declar-
ing the Nicaragua canal bill the un-
finished business of the senate was
called up. After Mr.. Morgan had made
brief statement regarding the parlia-
mentary phases of the question, in the

Republican Being Divided into Six

sand Men in Eaeh-chile to in-
sist on Presenting Insignificant
Claims for Invasion Of Territory.

BUENOS AYRES. Dec. i5.-Al.
though the situation between Argen-
tina and Chile has improved. it has
not vet been clearly defined The
Council OF Argentina has spent much
time in studying the TWO paragraphs
of the Chilean note which defines that
countrys position and an agreement
upon which would mean the solution
of the pending difficulty The Coun-
Gil has decided 10 accept the first
paragraph concerning the construction
OF roads This paragraph is salts
factory to the Argentine Republic
The compilation of the second para
graph. referring to the pretended oc-
cupation by the Argentine Republic
of Chilean territory at Ultima Es-
peranza, is not acceptable 10 the Min
listers. The assurance is given that
the Argentine Government. replying
to this paragraph. will answer that it
is impossible for it TO recognize an
act which. after investigation, has
been disproved.
The hope prevails here that every
thing will be arranged on a friendly
basis within q few days II is be-
lieved that Chile will insist upon pre-
senting an Insignificant claim for the
invasion of Chilean territory by three
Argentine policemen.
Argentina continues taking mill
tary measures. Men OF wealth are
offering the Government money with
which 10 buy horses and should oc-
casion arise equip a regiment of cav
airy. Public opinion throughout the
entire country is expressing its pat
riotic approval of the Governments
conduct. The people remain quiet.
The Government has decided to d.
vide the republic into six military
zones. with 10000 men in each. The
arms and equipment for these men
are already on hand in the respective
zones. Over and above the reserves
called out last week. $4,000 volun-
teers have presented themselves for
service. In case OF necessity the Gov
eminent has reserves which would en-
able it 10 mobilize an army of 200, 1000.
