RIVER PROJECT TO BE TAKEN GARE OF A Bill Will Be Passed, and Ohio River Will Be Taken Care of. NATIONAL RIVER CONGRESS. Favors an Appropriation of $50,000,000 a Year to Carry on the Work Properly. Washington, D. C.—Preparations are being made by the Committee on Rivers and Harbors to put through a river and harbor bill at the forthcom- ing session of Congress. But one ob- stacle now looms up that may change this plan and cause Congress to wait another year and that is the revenue deficiency of $100,000,000 or more. If the government financiers are able to figure out that a resumption of busl- pess will shrink this defiency, or if additional means or revenue are pro- vided, a river and harbor bill carry- ing appropriations and authorizations of $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 will be enacted. If a bill is decided upon the Ohio River project will be liberally taken care of. The large appropriations made for this project two years ago committed Congress irrevocably to its completion as rapidly as possible, and the recent annual report of the ehief engineers endorses It sO earn- estly and shows the pressing need for its consummation that there no longer exists the necesity for proving Its value. The only question to be deter- mined when river and harbor bills are being framed in the future is that . of the proportion of the whole amount the Ohio river shall receive. = Sufficient for Good Start. Two years ago the largest river and harbor bill ever enacted by Congress was put through, carrying a total of authorizations and cash appropria- tions of about $87,000,000. Of this total Pennsylvania received $6,412, 600, divided as follows: Ohio river, $4,000,000; rebuilding dam No. 5 on the Monongahela river, $756,000; dams Nos. 2 and 3 on the Allegheny river, $231,000; Erie Harbor, $120,000; Dela- ware river, $1,295,000. When that bill had passed Congress Representa- tive B. P. Acheson declared that in the next bill a demand would be mad2 for $10,000,000 for the Ohio river, and he thought it would be granted. At any rate, a sufficient sum will be ob- tained to construct a very important fink in the chain of dams between Pittsburg and Cairo. The National Rivers and Harbors Congress will not concern itself so much about the question of a bill this year as it will agitate the question of a permanent waterway policy. ‘What jts members want is a definite under- standing that a stated amount of money will be appropriated each year for river and harbor work, a policy to which the President, Vice President and the great political parties are eommitted. It is generally conceded that this is the rational and sensible way to proceed with the big internal improvements, instead of going ahead with many projects piecemeal. Fifty million dollars a year is what the Rivers and Harbors Congress wants set aside for this work. Once this Is accomplished, then the question of which projects shall be taken up first ean be settled by the army engineers and the Rivers and Harbors Com- mittee. Taft for Improvement. President-elect Taft is committed to the $50,000,000-a-year policy. In an address at Chicago October 7, 1908, in speaking of the Rivers and Har- bors Congress he said: “Through its work the question of waterway Im- provements has been most prominent- ly and favorably brought before the public and men of the highest char- gscter and influence throughout the eountry are enlisting in its cause. It arges the appropriation of $50,000,000 per annum. Such a policy has my hearty approval.” Representative T. E. Burton, of ©hio, chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee, will take part in the deliberations of the Rivers and Harbors Congress. He is in favor of some permanent policy to be followed by Congress and is strongly opposed to what have been termed ‘“‘pork-bar- rel” methods of doling out appropria- tions At present he is getting to- gether data for framing a bill at this session, but will not declare for one until the financial condition of the government shows improvement. ‘Wants $50,000 for Injuries. Altoona, Pa.—Forest W. Benson has brought suit against the Altoona & Logan Valley Electric Railway Com- pany to recover $50,000 for permanent $njuries alleged to have been received dwo years ago in a collision of trolley ears in East Altoona.

Former Independent Operator Testi fies How He Was Coerced New York.—Vigorous protests by attorneys representing the railroads against the alleged coal combination interested in the government's suit and coal carrying roads for alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and as unlawful combinations in restraint of trade, led to the changing of the scene of the hearing from the Federal building to the Astor House. The lawyers charged that the room was unsanitary. C. D. Simpson, of Scranton, Pa. told of a deal for the collieries of his firm, Simpson & Watkins, with Rob- ert Bacon, representing J. P. Morgan & Co. According to Mr. Simpson the seven collieries for which he and his asso- ciates got $5,000,000 in cash and stock have since been shown to cont~i- about 40,000,000 tons of coal. ‘They had to return $1,000,000 of the stock as their contribution of working capi- tal, so that their total fgor the sale of the mines worth $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 was $5,000,000.

H. G. Posenor, manager of the Nar- ragansett concern, protested and de- clared the company had complied with the laws. SCHOOL HISTORIES WRONG?

Port-Au-Prince. — President Nord Alexis has been deposed and is mow safe on board the French training ship Duguay Trouin and ~ Port-au- Prince is in the hands of the revolu- tionists. General "Antoine Simon, the leader of the insurgents, is marching up the peninsula’ with with an army of $5,000 and a new presi- dent, General Legitime, has been pro- claimed. At the last moment President Alex- is yielded to the urging of those about him and decided to take refuge aboard the French warship. At pre cisely 5 o'clock a salute of 21 guns announced his departure from the palace. Thousands had gathered here early in the day and they surged round the entrances, threatening to tear down the walls to drive out the president and his loyal followers. As the hours passed, the great mob be- came infuriated, shouting for him to leave the country. The mob was armed, and men and women, beside themselves with rage, heaped curses on the head of the aged man who had been deposed from the presidency, but who had fiercely expressed his determination to fight to the last. French Give Protection. So serious was the situation that the French minister, M. Carteron, and other foreign representatives, to- gether with members of a specially appointed committee, forced them- selves upon the president, who finally consented to withdraw. Shouts greeted him as he stepped from the precincts of the palace and into a carriage which had been provided. M. Carteron, carrying the French tri- color, sat beside him and the minis- ter threw the folds of the flag over the shoulders of the deposed .presi- dent to protect him. All along the routs the people who lined the streets shouted, jeered and cursed at the fallen president, but when the landing stage was reached the mob lost all restraint. The scene was tragic and shamefull. In furiated women broke through the cordon of troops and shriked the coarsest insults into the very face of the president, who strove bravely to appear undihmayed. a2 STANDARD PROCESSES New Jersey Laws Suited the Forma: tion of the Trust. New York.—The processes through which the Standard Oil Trust was liquidated and its 30 subsidiary. com: panies brought under control of the | present Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, were developed by John D. Archbold under cross-examination in the federal suit to dissolve the Standard. Mr. Archbold declared the trust had been liquidated during | the years from 1892 to 1899 with all good faith to obey the mandates of the Ohio supreme court ordering the trust dissolved. There was no ulter jor motive in the fact that only about 51 per cent of the trust certificates wore liquidated into the stocks of the subsidiary companies, said Mr. Arch bold. Small holders declined to li quidate, preferring to retain their certificates, which had a market value, rather than to obtain infini- testimally small parts In the several minor companies. Mr. Archbold made it plain that the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey had been selected as the holding company “because the laws of New Jersey were reasonable in their treat ment of corporations.” a $301,000 in Bonds Stolen.

DUTCH BLOCKADE CASTRO Warships of Wilhelmina Demonstrations Against Venezueia. Make Willemstad, Curacoa.—Unable to obtain an amicable settlement with Venezuella, the Netherlands Govern- ment has begun a naval demonstra- tion off the coast of the republic.

FEWER IMMIGRANTS CAME IN LAST YEAR Secretary of Commerce and Labor Issues Annual Report. iS EXHAUSTIVE DOCUMENT Goes Into Detail on the Work of Bureaus of Corporations and Labor. Washington, D. C.—Secretary of Commerce and Labor Strauss made public his annual report December 1. He lays strong stress on the com- mercial advancement of the era and its effect on the Nation. In this con- nection he says: “Our age has been very properly called an era of com- mercial development and expansion, and the United States, by reason of its many exceptional advantages, its boundless natural resources, and pos- sessing a growing, intelligent, ener- getie, enterprising, and self-reliant population, is reaping a greater share of industrial and commercial prosper ity than any of the other nations of the world. Concerning labor and its connection with commerce Mr. Straus says: “Labor and the industries and com- merce are closely allied and interde- pendent. . The head of a department charged with the administration of the commercial and industrial activities from which labor derives its chief em- ployment and wages is in a better po- sition to guard and promote the best interests of labor, especially in con- nection with the direction to be given for the development and expansion of commerce, domestic and foreign, than if his administration were confined to the interests of only one of these two great industrial forces, which are gen- erally classified under the designation of capital and labor. That commerce which is developed and expanded to the detriment, either of the health or of the wage standard, of the laborers engaged therein, however profitable it might be in the material sense, is harmful to a nation’s welfare, and should be discouraged.” The industrial depression has great- ly reduced immigration according to the report. On this Mr. Straus says: “During a portion of the past fiscal year, and extending into the present, this country has suffered an indus- trial depression. The effect upon im- migration to this country and emigra- fion therefrom was almost immediate. The tota! number of immigrant aliens who entered the country in the last fiscal year was 782,870, being 502,479 less than in the fiscal year of 1907. “For the past fiscal year for the first time it has been possible, by vir- tue of the provisions of section 12 of the immigration act of February 20, 1907, to ascertain definitely the num- ber of alien departures, and according- ly the net increase of our population by immigration. The new statistical table given in the report of the com- missioner-genral of immigration shows that in addition to 782,870 immigrant aliens admitted to this country there were admitted 141,825 classed as non- immigrants, making a total of 924, 695; and also that there departed from the United States 395,073 emigrant aliens, together with 319,755 nonemi- grant aliens, making a total of 714, 828. Deducting these total depart- ures of aling from the total arrivals during the fiscal year, the net increase of alien population has been 209,867.” The report deals exhaustively with the work of all the bureaus under its direction, especially the bureaus of corporations and labor. JAPAN'S FINANCES Still Heavily in Debt, but Will Make Outlay Not Exceed Income. Tokyo.—In the two years since the close of the Russo-Japanese war Japan’s debt has increased by 13,000,- 000 yen.

But DISEASE IS EXPENSIVE Big Appropriation Necessary to De- fray Cattle Epidemic Cost. Washington. — So expensive has been the campaign of the department of agriculture against the foot and mouth disease, prevalent among herds of cattle in New York, Pennsylvania. Michigan and Maryland that Secretary Wilson soon will ask congress for an emergency appropriation of $500,000 for this work. While the experts have not. been able to satisfy themselves as to the origin of the disease, the slaughter of herds is being continued with a view of eradicating the affection. =~ The United States government is called upon to pay two-thirds of the apprais- ed value of the cattle, the State bear- ing the rest. Not only is this item of expenditure summing up into big fig- ises is paid by the federal government, and is enormous. jem J STEAMER SINKS; ALL HANDS PERISH Wreckage Washed Ashore Indicates Fate of Crew of Twenty-Eight.
