Delegates from practically every state

ing in the most animated manner the
coming convention. Members of Con-
sress were there. senators and represen-

mingling with the throng, which had only
one subject of discussion. that being the
Importance of impressins the national
legislature with the necessity of spending
large sums OF money judiciously in i'm
proving the natural streams and harbors
for the transportation of products.
The delegates are in Washington at
this time for the purpose of not only
sustaining the hands of the chief
executive, but the committees of Con-
gress dealing with the subject of water
ways. to the end that a comprehensive
river and harbor bill may be passed
and the precedent thus established for
