Washington, Dee. 12.—The merits of
the project for connecting the Missis-
sippi river and the great lakes by way
of the Chicago sanitary canal was con-
sidered at a special meeting of the
river and harbor committee, hela in the
private lobby of the house of repre-
sentatives last night. The main pur-
pose of the meeting was to hear from
a number of Chicago gentlemen-—mem-
bers of the Illinois Valley association
who have been identified with the san-
ftary canal project, including Lyman
E. Cooley, the eminent engineer; Col.
Isaac Taylor, of Peoria; Frank Wenter,
of the board of trustees of the sanitary
canal, and Henry Mayo, of Ottawa,
Ills. The Merchants’ Exchange of St
Louis was represented by H. R. Whit-
more. Senators Cullom and Mason, of
Illinois, and the entire Illinois delega-
tion in the presentatives
were also present and

Mr. L. C. Cooley set forth the engi-
neering features of the project He
said the waterway not only would serve
for navigation, but also would develop
horse power worth $20,000,000 annual-
ly. He maintained that a waterway
connecting Chicago and St. Louis
would be justified even without the
Mississippi river, owing to the enor-
mous commercial development it would
bring about. He spoke also of the ul-
timate development of extensive navi-
gation, chiefly by barges, between the
lakes and the Gulf of Mexico
Mr. Mayo, of Ottawa, Ills., addressed
himself to meeting the statement,
which he said, had been frequently
made, that the movement for a great
waterway was an afterthought of the
sanitary canal project, with a view to
unloading it on the government. He
said that the state always had kept in
mind the construction of such a great
waterway, the sanitary canal
was distinct provision
made to have it conform to the general
system which the state desires to carry
out in the future. Chicago did not
then or now seek to unload anything
On the contrary, the state imposed
conditions on Chicago, adding ex-
