Special to The Republican.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 2S.-The
number of arrivals of congressman is
increasing daily, now that the opening
of the session is comparatively a few
days away. Judging from the express
sions of these early birds of the legis
lative family, the topic of probably
chiefest interest just at the present
time is that of waterways improve
ment. The fact that the Transmits
sissippi congress and the National
Grange convention last week both
heartily Endorsed the movement to
have the government appropriate $780,
000, 900 annually for the prosecution
of development work has aroused the
national Legislators to the extent of
the popular demand.
Chairman Burton in Virginia.
Congressman T. r. Burton of Ohio,
chairman of the rivers and harbors
committee of the house, is at present
at Hot Springs, Va, a health resort
much affected by official Washington,
and is making plans for a meeting OF
his committee to consider the question
before the fall of Speaker Cannou's
gavel opens the session. A number
of congressman have disappeared from
here to reappear in the lobby of the
Homestead hotel at the watering place,
and pressure Is being brought to bear
on Mr.. Burton to have his committee
give to waterways improvement the
consideration its Importance should
command.
Say Commerce Suffers.
Representative Rodenburg of Hi
nois. one of the arrivals, is enthu-
siastically in favor of the 'lakes-to-the-
gulf" canal project, while a score of
others are declaring that commerce
in their especial districts is suffering
because of lack of transportation ia
%ciIities. The convention of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors congress
here December G and 7 will offer an
opportunity for the capitalization oil
these demands, and it is believed that
the federal government will be aroused
to the necessity for setting vigorously
to work to remedy the neglect of near
Iy a half century given over to the de
velopment of railroads to the exclusion
of all rival methods of transportation
