DEPOSITION TO CANAL BILL.

Albany Jan. I5.-There indications already
on the surface trouble for the advocates of the
ssloaoc0 Bostpick canal appropriation bill. Mer-
chants of Albany. Troy and Cohoes are up in arms
because Waterford has been selected the eastern
outlet of the Erie Canal Lumhermen north OF
Albany are protesting becaus IL is proposed to cut
them off. Tonawanda merchants object to the bill
because it is proposed to take the new Erie route
direct from Rochester to Buffalo without touching
at the former place. The business men along the
line of the Champlain Canal protest because their
waterway is marked out for little or no improve
rnent The Oswego canal Improvement advocates
are apparently well satisfied.
There will be a meeting OF canal improvement
men of all sorts in Albany next Monday. Senator
Hill who was to have introduced canal bill, has
deferred such action until all the proposed changes
can be considered
