PRESIDENT PROMISES TO URGE CONGRESS
TO DEVELOP GREAT WATERWAY SYSTEM
Delegates Harbors Washington
the White House Present Their Plans for Annual AppODra
ton of $500 OOO, 900 for Internal Improvements.

Washington, d. c., Dec. S.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt told the delegates to
the national rivers and harbors con-
vention who called on him at the
White house today that he would
consult with the leaders IN congress
and expressed the hope that something
definite and effective could be done
in the way of increased appropriations

Albert Bettinger, of Cincinnati, the
spokesman for the convention, adj
vanced that proposition that The nat
ural waterways made efficient by the
aid of the government, not only would
supply the deficiency of Transports
ton facilities, present and prospec-
tive, but would regulate freight char
ges.
He told the President that the con-
vention suggested regular annual APP
preparations of not less than S50O,OOO,.
900 to replace the hitherto desultory
and inadequate appropriations" fo1
the improvement of the waterways.
The President replied as follows:
Il have come to feel growing

CONGRESSMAN cRoMER MAKES
A DENIAL.

Washington. Dec. S. (Spl)-Repre-
sentative Watson. who. as the whip
of the House. is representing Speaker
Cannon in an effort TO formulate
Legislative program. saw the President
today and sought advice on the advisa
bility OF the House taking up three
measures Immediately after the holt
days. the anti-injunction bill. the
eight-hour bill and an amended ship
subsidy bill. Ii seems to be the de-
cision of the leaders to attempt to pass
the Gilbert anu-injunction bill after
it has been slightly amended. AS
the bill stands now it provides that
injunctions shall not issue until no
tice has been given. 1t is proposed
to SO amend it so as to permit the is
suance of an Injunction without notice
in case the emergency seems to de
mand il.
Many of the Republican representa-
tives are insisting that the e!ght-hour
bill shall be considered. My sug
gestion is that we face these two la
Dor measures at this time" said Mr..
Watson. I'VE have got to dispose OF
them sooner or later and the sooner
we get rid OF them the better"
Representative George w. Cromer of
the Eighth Indiana district says the
report that went out about him prob
ably getting a consular appointment
after his term as Congressman ex-
pires, was started by his enemies. Mr..
Cromer says he is not asking or seek
ing anything from the Government ar
ter he goes out of office. He. like
Fred Lands. is planning to remain at
home las there may be something do
ing in the Eigth congressional dis
trict in the years to come.
Mr.. Cromer says that the anti-Cro.
mer men are now busy talking har-
mony after having voted the Democrat
ic ticket. Mr.. Cromer Is emphatic In
announcing that the Republicans to
win in the district the next time must
nominate a man who was loyal to the
ticket the last time. I'VE don't pro-
pose to put a premium on disloyalty."

J. n. Teal, of Portland, Ore, chair

brought in the platform report, which
was adopted by rising vote. The
report in part follows:
Present conditions demonstrate
that the transportation facilities are to-

economical transportation of the pro-
ducts of the country. Within the last
ten years the tonnage moved by rail
roads has increased AZ per cent, while
during the same period railway mile
age has increased only 20 per cent.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are
lost annually to our farmers and other
producers by the failure of the national

The sentiment in favor OF the merit

in congress, but among inc states,

Russian Empire.
ST. Petersburg, Dec. S.-The audi
ence between Count White and the
emperor was far from perfunctory.
From a trustworthy source it is
learned that 1t lasted fully three
hours. Occurring at a time when the
ex-premier's disfavor at court was re-
garded as a settled fact. this audience
must be considered as a personal vic
tory. indicf ng some change in the at
titude of high administrative circles.
Certain Liberals are even inclined to
regard it as tSe starting point of
new course. leading eventually to
calm with White at the helm.
1t is understood the summons re-
ceived by Count Witte set forth two
topics on which the monarch desired
his services: First, certain mooted
points in the Interpretation of clauses
of the Portsmouth treaty which block
current negotiations between Russia
and Japan, embracing uestions vital to
Russian interests; second, the present
state Of Russian credit abroad.

members of the cabinet in regard to
his dismissal from the post of am
bAssador of the United States to Aus
tria-Hungary.
It was assumed at the time that
Storer was dismissed because Of his
wife's supposed interference in affairs
of the Roman Catholic church and her
alleged misuse of letters from the
president. 1t was also charged that
Mrs. Storer meddleds with French poll
tics by taking part in antiRepublican
intrigue to promote the marriage of
Victor Bonaparte with a member of
the Orleans family. Both of these
charges Storer denies and on the
other hand declares that the presi-
dents interest in the selection OF
Archbishop Ireland as a cardinal was
not due to Storer or to Storer's wife,
but to the president alone.
The text Of Storer's letter was
bers of the foreign relations commit
tee of the senate. Storer says his re-
moval in such manner suddenly dis
missed him from an Office which he
had been given reason to believe he
had filed to the satisfaction, both OF
his own government and OF that to
which he was accredited, and being
accompanied by no public explana-
lions exposed him to suspicious and
Injurious conjectures. such as must
naturally arise when man in public

eminent with what is obviously in
tended to be discredit.
The correspondence shows the IA

the Storers from the time Roosevelt
was governor of New York. Some OF
Roosevelt's letters to Storer were ad-
dressed MY Dear Bethany" and to
his wife, MY Dear Maria" and Storer
