GREAT SEA WALL FINISHED.
Galveston Celebrates its Engineering
Achievements Grade of the City
Will Now be Raised to Shape Grad.
uallv to the Protecting Wall.
Correspondence Washington Post.

Correspondence ashlDgton fost
The completion of the Galveston
sea wall, the greatest structure OF it's
kind in the world, was celebrated to-
day by running excursions from dill
ferent parts of the State to Calves
ton. Governor Lanham was present
and made an eulogistic address, COM
menting on the remarkable work
which has been accomplished here.
Galveston being now in line to seek
advantage from the unique position
OF the city as an up-tO-date American
port and railroad center nearest OF
all to the new Panama Canal and a
natural outlet for the commerce OF
nearly one-half of the United States.
The sea wall was completed the
last of July. Two granite monuments
we're erected at the foot of fremont
street to commemorate the compile
ton of the wall, and these monuments
were unveiled today. The wall is
II, 500 feet long, 16 feet wide at the
base. ) feet wide at the top, and
stands II feet above mean low tide,
with a granite riprap apron extend
ing 81 feet out on the Gulf side. The
contract price of the wall was ST.
19S;31S. The actual construction
of the wall proper consumed one
year and four months and seventeen
days.
The grade of the city is now to be
raised to slope gradually from the
TOP of the sea wall. This will neces-
state a raising Of the grade from one
to fifteen feet, according to location.
For this purpose the State OF Texas
has donated all State taxes collected
in Galveston county for a period OF
eighteen years. Bonds to the amount
of 81 100000 are to be issued.
A contract has been let for the
grade-raising work Under the terms
of the contract a canal is to be dug
on the inside OF the sea wall, which
will permit the entrance of hopper
dredges, loaded with sand taken
from the channel in the bay, to come
in and discharge the filing to the re-
quired depth This work is now under
way.
The last session of Congress pro-
vided for an extension of the Calves
ton county sea wall to protect Fort
Crockett for a distance of 4 900 feet
to the West. This will extend the
wall to Fifty-fifth street, so that the
city of Galveston on the Gulf side will
be protected by a sea wall the full
extent of it's incorporated limits.

CARLYLE Mckinley, for years an

was expected of him and in time he
paid the penalty. but he was ready
for the final call, and he left this

the uproar but their views could not be
heard.
Mr.. Waller said he understood that
the question of adoption was not before
the convention, but question was
whether or not report of committee OH
resolutions be accepted or the minority
report submitted by some other men.
A score of Hearst men tried to talk
Gov. Waller down. He stamped back
and forth before the delegates and said
he would talk down any one else who
bobbed up while he had the floor. The
chair was pounding and calling for or
der and it was with difficulty that any
one in particular could be understood.
Cries of You want to muzZle u.s. as
sailed Mr.. Waller. He shook his fist and
said that when the minority had finish
ed its disturbance he would move the
previous question.
Delegates We're on their feet on all
sides but their voices were indistin-
guishabe in the tumult
Five minutes were needed to obtain
ORDER and then Gov. Waller was recog-
niZed and he moved the previous ques-
ton.
The storm broke again. DIR. Brothers
requested the privilege of asking Mr..
Waller a question and this was refused.
DR.. Brothers attempted to talk, APP
preaching Mr.. Waller in front of the
stage.
The ex-governor pushed DIR. Brothers
away. Il first voted for you, Waller"
said DIR. Brothers.
You began right" said the other.
sorry ever since and wanted to wash
the sin away
$50 and commit suicide then" said
Mr.. Waller.
Delegates left their seats and crowd
ed about the speakers. Policemen
pushed their way toward the scene,
while more delegates joined in the rush.
Angry words We're on many tongues.
Spectators expected to see blows
struck, but other delegates got be-
tween the beligerents. Several police
officers had at length succeeded in sep
aratinS the crowd when DR.. Brothers
again got in front of Mr.. Waller. who
pushed him away. The situation was
so strained that suddenly the conven-
ton came to a hush and seats were re-
sumed by most of the delegates. This
was the climax of two hours of excited
debate and the convention seemed to
catch it's breath. Then Alexander Troup
of New Haven, walked over and sat be-
side Gov. Waller while DIR. Brothers re-
turned to his delegation.
A roll call was taken on the question
of substituting the minority report for
the majority report on resolutions.
AS soon as it was evident that the
motion was defeated, the Hearst men
became restless and the chair repeated
ly appealed for quiet. Peace commit
tees travelled between Mr.. Waller and
Dr. Brothers and it was stated that the
incident will not leave unpleasantness.
The motion for the adoption of the
minority report was lost by a vote of
3G6 to 1856, showing that the Parker men
were almost twice as numerous as the
Hearst followers. III
