mARD1 GRAs AT NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 26.-Great
crowds and typical Mardi Gras weather
favored the opening of the annual fes-
tivity of the Crescent City. Business
is largely suspended, the display cf
gay colored bunting is abundant, and
the streets are filled with merrymak-
ers. Bright and early this morning the
committees having charge of the final
arrangements for the event were It
work, and at noon the appearance of
the Lord Chamberlain and his staff in
their gorgeous uniforms drew a large
crowd to the rotunda of the st. Char
les hotel. Carriages were taken .or
the boat landing, and at two o'clock
the booming of cannon announced the
arrival of Rex and his retinue. The
monarch was received with the usual
honors by the military and civic au-
thorities, and formally took possession
of the city. He will make his formal
entry at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

things they don't vant at all, or by
publishing larger editions than are re-
qutred by the governments needs.
/ Il should say, at a guess. that II
all the changes I propose are adopted.
the number of volumes turned out
from the government printing office
would be at least 4O0, 900 less annually
than are now turned out by the pro-
visions OF the law, and possibly half
million.
Il don't hesitate to say that the pub
lication of these four or five hundred
thousand books could be stopped with
out any harm to anybody. Barns and
cellars would no longer have to be
hired by the government to store trash
that cannot be distributed. Some of
the chiefs of minor bureaus, who think
that the government exists only to ex-
plot their greatness, would have to
send out a somewhat smaller number
of their own effusions, they would
have to curtail their length and re-
duce their cost. The people could bear
up under this without repining.
"Of course, l don't suppose that all
the recommendations have made will
be adopted by the committee, and prob
able even II they all were adopted by
the committee, some Of them would not
be adopted by congress. Any reduc-
ton In governmental expenses affects
the purse, the pride or the vanity of:
someone. Still these efforts are not
without their use. l think the ex-
penses of the government for print
ing during the present year will be
cne quarter of million dollars less
than they were last year, and If all
the reforms and changes were carried
out which we advocated, there could
probably be a saving Of a million. Even
quarter of a million dollars saved
year is something, and the saving is
rot made by any diminution of the
usefulness of government. When
thing is required. when 1t is useful
to the public, there is no reason that
a rich and prosperous people should
not have it, and pay what it costs to
get 1t. But when we are folding
money away stupidity and uselessly,
that is thing that one likes to try
to stop. He may not succeed to the
extent of his desires, but he, usually
accomplishes something, and even the
effort, 1t seems to me, is not only
meritorious but agreeable.

Taft ASKS
FOR MORE
MONEY
Recommends Appropriation Of
$4,000 for Water Ways
Commission.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
For Consideration Including Water.
ways Of International
Boundaries. -
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
BY e. c. Snyder.

washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-Secre-
tary of War Taft has transmitted to
congress recommendation that an
appropriation Of $4,000 be made for
continuing the work of investigation
and report by the international water
ways commission. This commission
was authorized by the river and har-
bor act of 1904 and has been engaged
in comforting with Canadian officials
regarding many subjects regarding the
waterways which form the boundary
lines between the two countries.
The secretary of war in his annual
report for the year 1905 states that
the commission has been hampered in
its work by lack of a clear under
standing as to its permanency and as
to the eventual scope of it's duties. For
example, in making regulations for
the uses of the surplus waters at
Sault Ste. Marie for power purposes,
it seems necessary for joint continu-
GUS supervision. The enforcement of
rules to be established hereafter at
other places or upon other subjects
will probably likewise require joint ex-
ecutive action. 1t is not clear from
the language Of the law creating the
commission that congress intended to
provide for permanent international
board. 1t is desirable that the status
of the present commission as per-
manent executive board be defined or
a new board created.
The questions which have been
brought to the notice of the existing
commission by various persons or in
terests thus far cover wide range
of subjects. Among them are the fol-
lowing:
First: The use of the waters at
Sault Ste. Marie for power purposes
and the regulations necessary to in
sure an equitable division of the
waters between the two countries and
the protection of the navigation inter-
ests.
Second: The uses of the waters in
the Niagara river for power purposes
and the regulations necessary to in
sure an equitable division of the
waters between the two countries and
the protection of the Niagara falls as
scenic spectacle.
Third: The alleged differences in
the marine regulations of the two
countries with respect to signal lights
and the advisability of adopting uni
form signals for both countries.
Fourth: The advisability of build
ing controlling works at the outlet of
Lake Erie, including the effect upon
the levels of the lakes and upon their
shores and upon the river st. Law
renee.
Fifth: The diversions southwark by
the Minnesota Canal and Power COM
pany of Duluth of certain waters in
the state of Minnesota that now flow
north into the Rainy river and the
Lake of the Woods.
Sixth: The effect of the Chicago
drainage canal upon the levels of
Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie and On
tario, and upon the River st. Law
renee.
Seventh: Deliminating the interna-
tional boundary on international
waterways, and delineating the same
on modern charts.
Eighth: The suppression or abate-
ment of illegal fishing on the Great
Lakes.
