of the country through which they
pass.
The Presidsn said it was often the
case that the citizens Of a county
would go to any extent to get a rail-
road to come into the county but once
there, not a friend Of the railroad
could anywhere be found, except per-
haps the local counsel.
The remark called out hearty
laughter.
The President. turned serious again,
however, and urged a t'square deal
for the railroads, that theyimlght not
be deprived Of reasonable profits
through popular prejudice.
The President declared that the
hating sporadic spstem Of river and
harbor improvements in the past was
not due to the army engineers, but
was the work of the committees in
Congress, who had responded to
/ clamor from home and to party con-
siderations. The time has come, he
declared, for a change in this system.
A nine-foot intercostal canal was one
of the projects to which the Presl-
dent referred as part of a definite sys-
tenn of waterways improvement.
In opening his address the Presl-
dent made an immediate hit with his
audience by asking that three tiers OF
seats Immediately in front OF him be
vacated by the early corners to make,
way for a hundred Of more veterans
of the Confederate and Union armies
who had been assigned to a more re-
mote section Of the enclosure. The
day was exceedingly warm. =

Corpus Christi, Texas, Special
Announcing himself as an enthusiast
tic advocate Of deep waterways, when
such projects can be shown to be prae-
licable and necessary, and declaring
that the piecemeal procession by
jerks" policy Of Congress in the past
with reference to such improvements
should be replaced with a definite
general plan for opening up great
avenues of commerce, President TAFT
aroused the delegates to the conyen-
ton of the Interstate Waterways
League, in session here, to an enthu-
siastic demonstration of approval.
Continuing, the President said that
in addition to extending commerce
deep inland waterways would serve as
| the best means of controlling rail-
road rates. In the meantime, how
ever, he urged the amendment to TIM
interstate commerce laws to make
their provisions more effective. Mr.
Taft added, however, that he did no
favor radical legislation; that hi
purpose merely vas to Keep RAILROAD
companies within the bounds OF Law
and down to reasonable rates. d
said the railroads should be encour
aged.
In this connection he took occasion
to refer to the fact that in some 10
~calities there is a disposition to d
injustice to the railroads and to drlV
the corporations to a system OF econ
omy. which prevents the development

Blueields, Nicarauga, (By wireless

ftant batteI of the revolution. General
IChamorru's forces fought an engage

Boca San Carlos, on the San Juan
river. The revolutionists won a de-
cisive victory, one hundred of the

three hundred wounded. General
Chamorro's losses were slight. The
