nois River Harbors Appropriation.
Springfield, Ill.,, Feb. 5.-The MEM
bers of the assembly listened to Sc
we're arraignment of themselves today,
when Congressman Burton's response
to the resolutions adopted by the legis-

their criticism.

cure by a telegram sent him by the
Upper Mississippi River association, in
which that organization disclaims re-
sponsibility for the resolution adopted
in the Illinois assembly
