CAPTAIN QUILL TALKS
VETERAN STEAMBOATMAN BACI
 FROM WASHINGTON,
He is Very Hopeful of Securing an Appropriation for the Alabama
 River-Goes to Mobile

Captain John Quill. the veteran steamboat man. was at the Union sta tion last night en route to his home in Mobile. He had just arrived from Washington where he went as one of the committee to present the Alabama River memorial to the River and Har- bor Committee of the National House of Representatives.
 Charles F. Moritz of Montgomery, another member of the committee, and William Black, private secretary of w. F. Vandiver. returned to Montgomery last night
 We were more than pleased with the success of our trip" said Captain Quill, and think the fruits of it will begin to show very soon. MT. Burton Committee, was i'll, and we were un- able to get hearing before that com mitee. Senator Pettus. however ar ranged for hearing before the Com mittee of Commerce of the Senate for us. and I think that much good was accomplished. Colonel Wiley, MT. Bankhead and the other members of the Alabama delegation did all they could for us. but the weather was so bad-a hard snowstorm most of the time-and we were very much hamper ed on that account.
 "T went over to New York to see my daughter and MT. Vandiver also went over on business MT. Vandiver Is still in New York and will endeavor to get a hearing before the River and Harbor Committee when he comes through Washington on his return"
 Captain Quill said that his boat, the "Nettie Quill" Is now making regular trips between Mobile and Selma, going into Mobile on her last trip with 400 bales of cotton. There Is sonnet ng over four feet of water in the river at Selma. and Captain Moore of the Peo- ple's Line of Steamers who was at the station on his way to Florida, said that his packet. the City of Mobile. would. he thought. reach Montgomery on the next trip, Tuesday or Wednes- day.
 It will be pretty hard for the boat to get to Montgomery with the present low stage of the river between Mont gomery and Selma, although Captain Quill said that one Christmas day he brought a boat through to Montgomery with the gauge of the river registering in the neighborhood of zero.

Nuisance of Handshaking.

Handshaking of a President is nuisance, a bore, a hardship. and 8 danger. and it seems to have been properly omitted for the ceremony of the reception to President Roosevelt at St, Louis. If the President inaugu- rates during his present term a need ed reform by declining to shake hands at any public reception he will be s..s- tained by sentiment. The popularity of the handshaker is not necessarily lasting. anyway.
