yesterday for the purpose Of arranging
details Of the sixth annual convention OF
this great waterway convention, which
Will be held in this city December S. 8.
and 10 next
THE coming convention will Guido all
meetings heretofore held for the improve
ment Of the waterways OF the United
States" said Secretary Ellison. The
fact that President Taft IS 10 honor the
convention by delivering an address on
waterways has aroused great enthusiasm
in all sections Of the country. This is
evidenced by letters from every State IN
the Union congratulating the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress IN having
obtained the President 10 open the con
vention in a speech outlining HIS position
toward the waterways Of the country.
While qualification is general 1t is espe-
cially pleasing to the friends Of Mr.. Taft
In Ohio, and I may say that his accept
ance has produced a better feeling in
business and club circles Of the Presi-
dents home city than has been shown
at any other waterway meeting.
plans for the convention are much
farther advanced at this time than ever
before. and already the list Of speakers
shows that the convention is going TO be
the biggest ever held by the national
congress of waterway enthusiasts. have
seen the National Rivers and Harbors
conventions grow from Goo in 1906 10 $500
in 1868. and / feel that am conservative
when / predict that there VIII be 5000
delegates in attendance upon the meet
ing next December"

AT ODDS ON COTTON
Experts Raise Issue on Pro-
posed Tariff Rates.
APPRAISERS IN CONFERENCE
Aldrich Contends Duty Is Not Lifted,
but Customs Men Declare Increase
Ranges from 3 to so Per Cent.
Representative Martin, from Dead
wood, 5. OAK, in LimeIight.

Does the cotton schedule OF the Aldrich
bill raise the rates Of duty on cotton
cloth? That is a question that Is press
Ing for an answer among statesmen In
this city.
Senator Aldrich contends that the rates
are not lifted. and he is supported by
such customs experts as Marion De
Vries, member Of the board Of general
appraisers in New York. On the other
hand. stin other experts declare the
rates are increased. ranging from 10
about 50 per cent.
The cotton rates formed the subject or
a conference yesterday between Repre-
sentative Martin. of Deadwood. S Oak,
and Appraisers Sharretts and De Vries.
With the full knowledge Of the President
and the Secretary OF the Treasury. Mr..
Martin has been working on the cotton
schedule for several weeks. He is the
latest expert to enter the field. and by
administration leaders he is recognized
as an expert. even If he does come from
Deadwood. which is remote from cotton
fields and cotton mills.
Converted AIdrIch SPECIFICS.
Mr.. Martin has converted the AIdrich
specifics in the cotton schedule into ad
valorem. and he has reached the con-
clusion by comparison with the ad va
lorems OF the existing law that the rates
on cotton arc increased from 8 10 50 per
cent, according 70 the value Of the goods.
The correctness Of his figures are certi-
fed 10 BY experts IN the Treasury De-
partment who have been figuring on the
matter under the direction OF Secretary
MacVeagh.
Mr.. Martin had II out with the two New
York appraisers, and they admitted that
Mr.. Martin was correct in the main. al
though Mr. Do Vries declared that fig
ures alone do not tell the story and that
classification and values represent ele-
ments that probably Mr.. Martin had not
taken into consideration. However. In his
dealings with the Senate conferees. Sc
reno T. Payne made the basis OF his ar
gument figures prepared by the cotton
expert from Deadwood
A good deal may be heard about cotton
when the conference report reaches the
House. and the voice OF Martin. OF South
Dakota, may be heard IN debate II so.
his friends predict that the cotton SEIZED
ule will have 10 be revised before the
tariff bin is spread on the statutes.

MaovEAGH MAKES SUGGESTION.
Instructs Conferees Regarding Pan
anna Canal Bond Issue.

A recommendation was made yesterday
by Secretary Of the Treasury Macveagh
to the tariff conferees in regard TO an
equalization of the tax on bank cIrcula-
ton which he says is necessary If the
contemplated issue OF the per cent
bonds for the Panama Canal is TO be
hoated successfully.
II is feared If the new issue OF canal
bonds is thrown or the market at this
time II will cause a depreciation in the
values of the various other outstanding
government securities. Treasurer Treat
made a special "trip to New York on
Wednesday last to confer with a num-
Der of Wall street bankers who are said
to be opposed 10 the new issue.

APPLAUSE FORMALLY DENIED
House Changes Record Regarding
Representative Fuckers speech.

An amusing tilt between Representa-
tive Rucker, Of Colorado, ana Repre-
sentative Macon. Of Arkansas. occurred
In the House yesterday. IL was an echo
OF the lively colloquy which these two
members had on last Monday, when Mr.
Rucker said he hoped Mr.. Macon would
not resign from the House, because his
constituents may at the next election
write his resignation for him.
Mr.. Macon rose 20 a question Of per
sonal privilege. He said he did not OBJ
jeCt TO this remark, because he did not
care what Mr.. Rucker hoped. But he did
strenuously object TO the words Great
applause" which appeared in the Record
after the remark. Mr.. Macon did not d.
rectly charge that Mr.. Rucker inserted
the words Great applause" but he inti-
mated 1t broadly.
Mr.. Macon submitted a motion 20 strike
out the Objectionable words. which was
carried amid cheers.
