HOPES FOR IMMEDIATE HEARING
 BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Permanent Organization of River Im- provement Delegation Formed with vandiver President, Will Re-
 main in Weshington
 Until Heard.

Washington, Dec. 11.-(Special. )-- W. F. Vandiver. of Montgomery, chair man of the Alabama River Improve ment committee. after a conference with Representatives Wiley and Bank head. is hopeful of obtaining a hear ing before the subcommittee of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House.
 If Chairman Burton, who has been suffering with rheumatism. is well enough the hearing will be obtained tomorrow. At all events Chairman Vandiver, and representatives from the River committee will swing on here until the hearing which has already been agreed to by the Rivers and Har- bors Committee can be mad MT. Van diver speaks with undiminished ardor of the prospects, certainly soon if not immediately for the recognition by the government of the commanding merits of the improvement of the river.
 To that end Mir. Vandiver said that what been commenced by the convention and taken up the com mittee of which Mir. Vandiver is chair man with R. H. Clarke, vice chair man. C.. Moritz. treasurer and W. F. Black. secretary, will be a permanent organization and will consider and transact all business relating to the projected river and improvement as advocated by the convention at Mont gomery of November 14.

level the canal must be free from any artificial work: and there is perhaps no engineer who would be willing to tac- cept the responsibility of building 1t immediately without dams on the upper Chagres to regulate the floods and without side locks at Panama to counteract in the canal tho currents due to the ten foot tide in the Pacific. The motion of a free discharge from the Chagres in lockiess sea level canal must result from experience which would be acquired by working q local canal with central lake such was made by the Isthmian Commis- sion in 1s0I The construction of such canal would give experimental data about the necessary cross section of the canal about the slopes of the deep cut at Culebra and about the sediments of the Chagres. all, of which are essential for building at sea level passage suc- cessfully.
 "As to changing from the lock to the sea level form, gave in 1887 solution which I communicated recently to Ad- miral Walker. It Is an easy solution and cheap methods of gradually trans forming the lock canal into a sea level canal without stopping navigation five minutes. It utilizes for the sea level canal all the work done for the lock canal except naturally. dams and locks. This solution entirely covers the sea level question. In one word think 1t would be a great error to begin with the sea level plan at once. It would cost $100. .o00 more and require twice as much time. The lock plan will be amply sufficient until the trafhc reaches forty million tons--that is to say seven times the probable traffic in the first years operations. and will lead by ex- perimental and secure ways to an ideal solution of the sea level passage"

REPORTS or FIGHTING.
Lendon Hear. Wild Ramor of Big Bat-

tie.
 London. Dec. 12.-An unofficial re- port from Port Arthur. according to Tokio dispatch to The Daily Telegraph. says that Japanese torpedo destroyers attacked the Russian battleship Sevas- topol at Port Arthur harbor night of December 9. with what results Is not known.
 The Daily Telegraph's correspondent before Port Arthur reports under date of December g. that there were des- perate encounters last week. The bel- ligrents the correspondent adds, mu- tually recognize the Red Cross and aid dead and wounded during temporary suspension of fighting.
 The Daily Telegraph's Tientsin cor respondent learns from official Japa- nese sources that the Japanese casual ties at Port Arthur the latter of Octo- Der were 5000 killed and 10000 wound ed. The losses in more recent battles. he adds. were much heavier.
 The same correspondent has heard the continued fighting in proceeding south of Mukden. The correspondent at Shanghai of The Daily Telegraph in a dispatch dated December II, says that acording to Pekin reports, the Russians have retreated to the south bank of the Hun River after seventy two hours fighting. with heavy losses.
 On the fourth day of fighting. the correspondent says the Japanese as- sun1ed the offensive. The Mukden statioi, is reported to Be in d. wild state of confusion. The Daily Telegraph thinks the authenticity of the forego- ing reports from Chinese sources of heavy fighting Is very doubtful.
