SPORT IN EGYPT.

At first sight. perhaps, one would
hardly be inclined to associate resi-

sandy that few people who have not
visited it would dream of finding any
thing there worth powder and shot.

HALF A BILLION FOR WATERWAYS
Bond Issue to That Amount Proposed in
Mr.. Bartholdt's Bill.

Washington. Jan, H.-Representative Bartholdt,
OF Missouri. introduced a bill to-day authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds in the
sum Of 5O00OO.oOO for the Improvement of water
ways.
II am informed" said Mr.. Bartholdt in explana-
ton, that there pending before the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors propositions for the ex-
penditure OF about s5Oo00o0 900. covering good and
meritorious projects exclusively. 1t is perfectly
evident that these projects cannot be carried out
within the life of this and the next generation II
the expenditures therefor to be betrayed out OF
the regular annual receipts OF the government.
An issue of bonds TO the amount of $Oo'0o0co will
suffice to complete all great river projects and
will forever solve the problem or the continuous
and permanent improvement OF our great water
ways. BY the conversion of s. and per cent
bonds into 2 per cent bonds, we are now saving an
annual interest charge of s10ooo0to. which is ex-
actly the OF interest on $5o0To,OOo at per
cent SO that account of this bond issue the
total amount of the former interest charges would
not be increased by one dollar.
