RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
for Waterways BE Made Regularly.
MOrreu Urges That Appropriations

for Waterways be Made Regularly.
MOrreII Urges That Appropriations
The efforts OF the Philadelphia delega-
ton TO secure more favorable allowances
for the Improvement Of the Delaware
River have led to the conviction that an
organized movement should be made to
make the river and harbor bin a regu-
lar annual appropriation bill. Yesterday
Representative MorreH introduced a reso-
luton to that effect, as follows:
Whereas the enormous development
in late years Of the natural resources OF
the United States and the consequent in
crease In the production of articles for
home consumption and for export has
rendered the transportation facilities OF
the country, especially those by water.
entirely inadequate TO supply the demand
upon them and to accommodate the vari-
Gus types of vessels which modern skill
has constructed to handle these prod
ucts, and.
Whereas. further, it is the general
belief that the immediate Improvement
on a large scale og the waterways and
harbors Of the country would do much
10 regulate the charges Of railroads,
therefore be il
Resolved. That It is the sense and de-
sire Of this Congress that the appropTia-
ton bill for rivers and harbOrs shall be
given the same consideration and shall
be- on the same scale as those for the
army and navy and other large annual
appropriatIon bills, constant large
appropriations being necessary 10 enable
the United States 10 keep pace with the
other nations Of the world, and being for
the good Of the country at large, this
appropriation shall hereafter be an an
uIlaI one"

STREET LIGHTING DECEPTIONS.
Criticism OF the Claims Made as to
Quantity Consumed,

To a practical gas man the claims
that the fiat burner gas Jets used in light
ing the streets give sixteen candlepower
are absurd, said Ralph Harris, a practi-
cal gas man. of 1904 Eleventh street north
west, yesterday afternoon
1t is absurd for this reason: When only
the best gas is used the best burner on
earth requires five feet OF gas per hour TO
produce sixteen candlepower. The con-
tract under which the District lamps are
operated call for only three feet per
hour. hence it is a technical impossibility
for those lights under the best possible
condition 10 give better than three-ffths
Of sixteen Candlepower The fact Of the
matter is, as you can figure out, that
these lights give something less than ten
candlepOwer.
AS for the inCandesCent lamps giving
sixty CandlepoweT. that too. is absurd.
It is more like thirty. and If they were
perfectly fitted, with the best quality OF
gas using five feet Per hour. they might
give up 10 fifty candlepower for a time
but none of them would continue this un-
less kept in the best Of condition.
None of the lights used here are fitted
for that kind Of work, and cannot keep up
to the standard, as many of them are
without chimneys. Particularly is this so
in the vicinity of Massachusetts avenue
and L street. Many of these lamps give
no more light than the fiat burners.
They may test Up TO sixty CandlepOwer
at the laboratory of the gas company,
but if they do they are under special
pressure and are fitted to burn between
four ard FIVE feet of gas per hour.
when they are placed on the street. as
the contracts show. they can use but three
feet of gas per hour, hence they, too, can
give but three-flfths Of the light they are
supposed 10 produce.
AT one time the Commissioners had
in view the using of clusters of lights.
and had made arrangements to begin ex-
periments to that end. when they were
halted by the contract. They could not
proceed, because with clusters they would
use multiples Of the hourly quantity of
gas, and under the contract it could not
be done"

sled. The question hinges on the taking

brewery workers, as it Will injure them
numerically. After the decision against
the brewers in the Minneapolis COnven-
ton. President GOmpers ordered the
segregation. Trouble has been expert

last night that no action was likely at

becoming. and allow of too many
variations to be easily and quickly
set aside and their vogue is quite
assured for the coming winter.
There is an excellent design for a
plated skirt OF sheet materials.
Brown wolfe having a hair line stripe
In SIX was used and the plaits were
half an inch wide In clearing
length. the stitching of the plaits for
a considerable depth produces a fit
ted effect at the top, with a full skirt
below that measures about Ave yards
and seven eights at the lower edge.
Two bands of brown silk three inches
wide are set on at four and eleven
inches from the bottom. All such
materials as silk and wool mar
quisette, foulard. crepe de chine and
chiffon taffeta may be developed
from such a model with good results
for il Is in the sheet materials that
the plated skirts show to their best
advantage. The underskirt was OF
brown satin finished with deep
anticipating. The jacket worn with
this skirt was developed from brown
velvet and made as a short cut-away
with fur collar and cuffs and a nun
10 match.
Several models of killed skirts
were shown at a recent exhibition
and appears on the street as q ia
vorite for walking suits. Owing to
the great number of striped suitings,
many ingenious methods of arrange
ment are resorted to. One of these
arrangements is the bias front seam,
another is the alternate plain panel
reaching a little below the hip at
which point is an inset of plaits, for
the full hipped figure this is a very
good model The plain front breadth
retains it's prestige and to many 1t is
the most becoming mode after all. A
few skirts are seen plain, gored, and
smooth fitting to within an inch or
two of the knees where a knife or
boX-plaited flounce is set on, while
not a very new idea it is liked by
some, and some novel features are
introduced at times; such as insets
on the box-plaits, braiding design up
the plaits, or bands, or horizontal
figures. One skirt. green, had each
box plat decorated with a Greek Key
design, blue serge was braided with
black soutache, a chiffon taffeta had
insets of lace, and a black velvet
was finished with a scroll pattern in
black satin. The coats, If there is,
one, is usually no longer tsan reaches
the plating. and is decorated to
match the skirt.
For semi-dress occasions the three
piece suits are very popular. The
skirts are most carefully cut and
the adjustment over the waist and
hips must be absolutely correct in
every particular. 1t may be modelled
after any of the fashionable styles
for skirts and its decoration may be
lavish use OF soutache or embroid-
cry or parallel rows of quilting one
inch in depth, and the method of APP
