|S-FOOT CHANNEL
NOW DEMANDED
INTEREST AT WATERWAYS MEET
CENTERED ON RESOLUTIONS.
Gov. Eberhardt Wants 1S-Foot Channel
and New Equipment Of Wharves
and Warehouses.

Chicago.-Following a days enthusi-
astic session, when sentiment of the del
egates to the Lakes-to-the|Gu Deep
Waterway Association changed the slo-
gan of the association from fourteen
feet through the valley and dig Ter deep
through Dixie" to a demand for a deep
er channel than fourteen feet through
out the length of the proposed water
ways, interest at the close of the day
shifted to the forthcoming report Of the
resolution committee.
Proposed planks for the resolution
include ad emand upon congress to take
action at once looking to the deep chan
mel, q plea to all state legislatures hav-
ing jurisdiction over lands bordering the
Mississippi river and a call for an ap.
propriation jointly by congress and by
the legislatures to start work.
Gov. Eberhart of Minnesota said:
"The construction of the Lakes-to-the-
Gulf waterway involves not only dig
ging the channel not less than eighteen
feet deep and wide enough to accommo-
date the increasing traffic, but also the
e~quipping of docks, wharves, warehouses,
boats and loading and unloading facili-
ties.
THAT the total expense of equipment
will be something more than the esti-
mate is conceded, but even il it should
be so per cent greater and total more
than 100000 it ought to hf Z sound
financial investment.

STIRRING UP ANlMoSInEs
Turkey Trying to Arouse III Feeling Of
Germany Against Italy.

Rome.-There is a feeling in official
circles here that Turkey and her sympa-
taizers, as well as those elements which
are antagonistic to Italy, are doing ev-
crything possible to engender opposition
among the powers to Italy's plans, and
it is believed that certain reports which
have been circulated aim chiefly to play
on Anglo-German ~antagonisms. With
this in view, it is supposed the report
has been spread broadcast that Ger
many, having planned to obtain Tabruk
from Turkey prior to the beginning of
hostilities, will end by obtaining this
important strategic point from Italy as
o base for operations in the Mediterra-
lean against British supremacy.

Peking.-China is swept to its four
corners by the revolution. With thou
sands of troops deserving to join the in
surrection almost hourly the government
apparently is powerless and the down.
fall of the Manchu dynasty seems in
evitable.
Picking, 1000 miles away from the
rebel hold, in the center of the province,
is threatened with the fate Of Hankow,
a large part of which has been destroyed
and where hundreds of Manchus have
been killed. The government has de-
cided to concentrate it's efforts to ave
Peking and unprecedented military ac-
tivity within the walls of the great
city is the result.
That Peking can be saved is deemed
impossible. The garrison is known to be
partially disloyal and it is feared the
first uprising will be the signal for a
wholesale desertion which can mean
nothing less than the destruction Of the
