Request for Legislation.

"A rivers and harbors bill should be
passed as early as possible in the pres
emit session of this Congress, appropriat
ing at least fifty million dollars for the
purpose of carrying forward, under the
continuing contract system. such rivers
and harbors projects as have been here
tofore entered on or finally approved. and
as are Of such a character as to surely
fit into and carry into effective use any
larger, comprehensive and connected wa
terway system that may be subsequently
adopted: and annually for ten years
hereafter an equal sum should be ap-
propriated; and
I'VE believe that the annual rivers and
harbors bill should be placed upon an
equal footing with the other great APP
preparation bills. and we condemn the
present method Of appropriation, whereby
the rivers and harbors bill carries only
such sum as may remain after the other
budgets have been authorized.

Rivers and Harbors Congress.
ASK FOR AN APPROPRIATION

List of Officers
Elected.
ASK FOR AN APPROPRIATION

An annual appropriation of 100000
year for the next ten years; issuance OF
bonds to meet the appropriation, If neces-
sary, and the creation of a department of
public works, with a secretary as MEM
Der of the Presidents cabinet, charged
with putting the waterways projects into
execution were the chief recommends
tions of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress- made before its adjournment in
the New Willard Hotel today.
Practically all of the officers were unan-
imously reelected and the meeting place
of the next convention was left to the
decision Of the board of directors. Keen
interest in the proceedings of the con-
gress was maintained until the last mo-
ment, and the general opinion of the dele
gates seemed to be that the sixth con-
vention was, as far as the prospects of
practical results were concerned, the most
successful in the history of the organ
iZation.
Resolutions Unanimously Adopted.
The report of the committee on resolu-
lions was adopted unanimously. amid en-
thusiasm which seemed to indicate that
the delegates were in hearty accord with
all the committee suggested. The reso-
buttons, representing the sense Of the con-
gress, said, in part:
THE National Rivers and IIarbors Con-
gress includes in this convention $3.50 ac-
credited delegates, farmers, manufacture
ers. merchants. maritime and professional
men and members of commercial bodies,
representing the greater part of the ton
mage of the United States, as well as the
shipping interests of the country at large.
This congress is assembled to urge
upon the government of the United States
the immediate adoption of q broad, lib
eral. comprehensive and effective policy
of rivers and harbors improvements. with
profound conviction of its responsibility,
and earnestly requests the attention of

tives of the National Congress to the

THE Americans are the best WORK,

takes is the man that makes money

ed early Sunday morning for the muir
der of one of her confederates named
George Spriggs. has made a complete
confession, acknowledging that she
committed the crime, and declaring
that her action was in self-defense.
The negress says that she fired the
fatal shots with a SO calibre S. & w.
revolver, borrowed from a negro nam
ed George Jordan, and that Spriggs
fired on her twice before she return

but which she says she had loaned to
Spriggs. was found within a foot of
his dead body, two of it's chambers
beinging empty
The negress gives a detailed de-
