Doillver Called His Review Of the Al

AIdrlch's Departure.
ALDR1CH SLIPPED OUT
Did Not Remain Long to Hear Iowa
Senator's Arralgnment-Talk-
ed OF the Duties on
Cotton.

WASHINGTON, June 5.--A plain.
straight forward talk, was what Sena-
tor Dolliver called his review Of the
Aldrich speech last night. Dolliver
did some Of the plainest talking when
Aldrich, after the Iowan had spoken a
few minutes, started to leave the SEN
ate. This brought from Dolliver an
indignant protest against Aldrich's APP
parent determination not to listen to
the answer to his arguments. I've
an engagement" said Aldrich. II
want to engage you here" shouted
Dolliver. He said Aldrich could not
ignore his answer to Aldrich's speech
last night without subjecting himself
to Serious moral consequences"
Aldrich then resumed his seat and
slipped out in ten minutes. Dolliver
said he desired to avoid any @pirit OF
harshness in his speech, and he would
be the last man to say unkind thinks
to Aldrich. He challenged Aldrich's
assertion that the committee on
amendments to the cotton schedule
would affect only ten percent OF cot
ton impUtations. The Iowa senator
advised his colleagues they had better
go to their constituents and tell them
they had increased duties in cotton
schedules, rather than to say the
duties had not been increased He
said:
'The American people are willing to
be robbed, but they are unwilling to
be f1imflammed." He declared.it was
ridiculous to claim there was no in
crease. Discussing the claim made by
the finance committee that the intent
of the Dingley act has been set aside
by decisions of the courts. Dolliver
declared there was apparently two
Dingley laws iii axistance, not only
one on the statute books, but the ore
existing only in the imagination of the
senator from Rhode Island.

WILL DIsAPPoINT WEST
Understood That Board Takes Ground
That Commercial Interests do
Not Warrant Heavy Ex-
pendlture Required

WASHINGTON. D. C., June 81
From the known attitude OF some OF
the prominent army officials an i'm
preston has been gained that the
unanimous report of the army board
of engineers on the proposed Missis-
sippi deep waterway project from St.
Louis to the gulf, which probably will
be before congress before the end of
next week takes the general ground
that the commercial interests of the
case do not warrant the expenditure
Of vast sums which would be required
to construct and maintain the propos-
ed waterway. No intimation, how
ever, OF the conclusion Of the engi-
neers could be obtained today
This matter is of muca interest to
the middle section of the United
States and the conclusions of the
board have been awaited with great
deal of impatience, especially in con
gress, where two weeks ago there was
an extended debate over the question
of calling upon the secretary Of war to
transmit forthwith report on the
subject.

Board TO Pass on Data.

According to the law. the board was
| authorized to pass on the data col
lected BY the special bard created by
congress to examine the Mississippi
river, below st. Louis for the purpose
Of collecting data to enable the army
engineers to reach a conclusion, with
the view Of recommending action
thereupon.
The report of the board will not be
made public until after it has gone to
congress.
The proposed deep waterway from
st. Louis to the gulf is a part of a
prospect to connect the Great Lakes
with the gulf by a channel sufficient
to accommodate the large craft
throughout the year. According to the
legislation adopted by congress when
it authorized the survey of the Mis-
sissippi river the engineers we're to
collect data on the construction Of a
channel fourteen feet deep.
