Improvement of Gnlvcston Harbor.
Itcsolved , That as tlio necessities of the
trnsmlsslsslpDi states dumaii'l un ocean outlet -
lot on the northwest coast of thu Gulf of Mex
ice and the commission of engineers appointed
under the authority of con ros ; ) lias reported
that Galvo-iton Is the only port at which such
a deep water harbor as Is udoiiuutu to the
DeedoJ purpose can be secured ; ami. ns In ac
cordance with this report , congress lias au
thorised the ficuiotnry of war to contract for
the construction ot such a harbor at ( jalvcs-
ton , wo would respi'Ctfullrurguiiuon the hon
orable Hcuiutary of war the completion of the
jetties now under construction as speedily as
possible und that the western trunk lines of
railroads be requested to extend their railway
facilities to Uiilvcston us rapidly as the work
uf the jetties progresses.

gress Unit the immigration laws bo so amended
that only Immigrants n ho I oth desire and uro
llttod for American citizenship slmll bo per
mitted to In.id on our shores , and that the
laws should bo moro stringent.
Upon the silver question there were throu
reports , all ot which were laid over for fn-
turu discussion.
In touching upon Indian reservations , the
committee favored the allotment in severally
nud that thu balance of the lands bo sold to
actual settlors. It favored the protection
and extension of the forests , the opening of
a waterway from the lukos to the coast , the
repeal of the interstate commerce law ,
the establishment of a bureau
for tbo dissemination of facts ,
the consolidation of the trnnsmlsslssippt and
the western states congress and a liberal
grant by congress for carrying on the work
of irrigation In South Dakota , western Ne
braska , Oklahoma , Colorado and the other
western states.
Sprung It Early.
The convention then got down to business
In an attempt to locate the place fur holding
the next congress.
Senator McOlnnts presented the name of
Helena and statr-d tout the members would
bo received with the usual western hospital
ity.Tno
Tno name of Salt Lake Cltv was also pro-
tcnted.
A member raised the point that Iho discus
sion wns out of order , as the convention to beheld
hold In XDW Orleans next February would
elect the place.
Governor Adams of Colorado thought that
If the two congresses should consolidate the
selection of n place for boldlng the next sos-
lion would bo premature.
A motion to lay the whole matter on the
table prevailed.
Mr. Niison stated that although Mr. A. P.
Hopkins of Omaha was upt a member of the
congress lu would llko to address tbo body
upon the silver question \vhon it cnuio up for
discussion. Mr. Hopkins was declared a
member of the congress , and a resolution was
adopted to allow parties thirty mlnutoi in
opening nnd closing the debate. All otters
to bo allowed ton inlnutos each.
Htihbnrd on Harbors.
The debate on the deep harbor question
was opened by Governor Hubbard of Texas.
Ho was loudly applauded by the convention
as ho mounted the platform. Ho said that
not only Texas , but tbo. whole west , was
deeply Interested in tbo question. Ho con
gratulated the west upon the efforts that had
been put forth. The time was when Texas
bowed on bonded knee for the crumbs that
fell from the rich man's table , but Texas had
become u giant , and instead of bosgtng , de
manded recognition. In nu eloquent manner
bo detailed tbo history of the deep-
harbor movement. The government was
bound to protect and open the great
loanorts , but It bad not boon done.
The war was over and Texas worked along
under the great wliito banner of peace with
the other states of the union. Ho thanked
the men ot thn west , from the Mississippi tu
the Colden ! Gate , for thelrofforts lu securing
an appropriation to open a deep harbor at
tialvoston.
The great question , so far as the beginning
was concerned , was settled. There was no
iloubt but tlmt twonty-tivo or thirty foot of
water would bo obtained at Calvoston. She
would gut it , and it was not the Idea of the
pessimist. It was a beautiful citizenship ttat
lived there and shipped moro than half a
million bales of cottou over the seas. The
mouth of tha Hraios had been visited , and
going out from Volasco on a tug
boat ho had found water ilfty tool
deep Just ouutilo the Jotttos. On tbo bars
whcro only ton yean ago tbo water was only
live feet deep , water now seventeen ana one-
half feet was found.
Ho ridiculed the Idea of the government
taking caru of tuo work. Tbo government
would do notblng of the kind until tbo people
bad taken bold of the matter.
Volasco was not tbo only port on the -Gulf
of Mexico whora deep water could bo ob
tained. In time Sablno 1'ats and Arnusai
Pass would have deep harbors. Tha whole
world could go and see Velasco and sea what
had and whal would bo done , The work had
boon accomplished by tha push aud
pluck of western men. It bad
been by the same class of uioa
who bad built a ft .000,000 capltol
building for Texoj aud had boon paid InToxos
lands.
ArkuiiHUH null Other Htatoa.
Durlug liU remarks the ccutlomau oald
glowing tribute to Arkansas. Ho said that
she had been led out in the woods and It was
not known that aho had raised 600,000 bales
of cotton oacn year , to say nothing of the vast
mineral resource ; . Missouri was rich tn coal ,
Iron , silver , load and ore , besides she pro
duced a vast quantity of agricultural pro
ducts. She was a great stnto nnd she wanted
to divide nor commerce with St. Louis , Gal
veston , Sablno Pass nnd Velcsco In order to
give her competition. Ho bad boon
through six of the wo torn stales
with the Texas advertising train and
found a restless spirit that was born
In the Puritan fathers. The young men
wanted to go somewhere , nnd If they were
bound to leave , ho Invited thorn to go to
Texas. Ho relerr d to each of the tran
mfsslsslppl states.
Nebraska , thogrand state , he nald , bad
32,000,000 bushjU of wheat aud 00,000,000
bushcli of corn to soil.
"Mnko that 150,000,000 bushels of corn , "
remarked Colonel Clmso of Omaha.
'Tho gentleman from Nebraska has scon
my hand and goes tno ono bettor , " rotorlcd
Governor Hubbard.
The house was convulsed with laughter ,
whllo the speaker continued "by saying that
tbo north had invaded thu south and that
northern men comprised one-half of the pon-
ulatlon. The men who spent one-half the
day sitting In the shade smoking Span
ish citrarottos bnd been crowded out , while
thn northern men with pluck and enterprlso
had taken their places. They were hearlllv
welcome , ns they were the backbone and
slnow of Texas. Texas this year would
ralso one-fourth of the cotton crop of Amer
ica. It had ' . ' ,500,000 people nnd the natural
Increase was the greatest of any state or
country in the world. There , was no divi
sion of heart or hand , and all were working
for one object the future greatness of Iho
stnto.
In closing ho said ho wns In favor of free
sliver coiungo , but this was not the place to
quarrel about that. Ho was opposed to a
high tariff system , but that question should
not be permitted to disturb the harmony of
this occasion.
Governor Hubbard than closed In an elo
quent peroration upon what ho termed the
utornnl burial of bitterness engendered by
thu war. Ho said :
I am thoroughly reconstructed. I wns a
"rebel brlgudlor. " as they called thorn , but
what I lung to NOO moit of all Is that both
north and south should forirot the past In
their uenorous rivalry for success In the fu
ture.
Saw Uninlia from Carriages.
A lltlle after U o'clocu yesterday afternoon
the delegates , accompanied by a number of
the prominent citizens of Omaha , took car
riages at the Board of Trade building and
started out to do the town on wheels. The
route of the drive took the visitors nround
past Crolghton college , out Farnam street to
Thirty-seventh avenue nnd thence south nnd
east to Hanscom park. The party then
turned toward the heart of the city nnd
touched Sixteenth street just cast of lioyd's
theater. Tbon , turning lo Iho south , the
procession of carriages crossed the viaduct ,
turned cast on Williams street and whirled
up around Drowneli hall. At twenty minutes
after 4 o'clock the carriages halted in front
of the G and opera house nnd tbo drive was
over. The visitors were hichly pleased with
what thovsawof Omaha.
Soon after the congress was called lo order
for the nftornoon session Colonel Gresham
of Texas was Introduced and took up the
discussion of tbo deep water problem. Ho
held that the United States engineers hud
found that tbo most favorable poiut for a
deep water barber on the Gulf of Mexico ,
from a natural standpoint , wns Sablno Pass ,
Tex. , but ho said other speakers had stated
that the government engineers had recom
mended three points as suitable for deep
water haroors.
Before Colonel Gresham had gotten really
into the subject , Dr. George L. Miller of Ne
braska arose nud nskod permission to ask
him a question. Colonel Gro ham said ho
would answer it to the best of bis ability.
Dr. Miller tbon asked the speaker if there
was anything In the way of establishing a
commercial trafllo between Europe und the
southern uorts , provlamg Ihut deep water
harbors could bo provided along the shores
of Texas. In short , could vessels carrying
merchandise away from these gulf ports to
Kutopean countries find cargoes of goods for
the return trip to these southern ports I
Colonel Grcsbum said that a profitable
traffic could bo established just as soon as
deep water harbors had been provided and
the great lines of steamships could ilud ac
commodations there. The establishment of
these southern ports nud centers of com
merce would , the speaker believed , encourage -
ago the building up of an American merchant
marine. American ships would not bo classed
ns "trauios" upon the high seas , ns most of
thorn were at present , but American ships
would , in the near future , become a very Im
portant factor In the merchant uttirlno opera
tions of the entire world.
Colonel Gresham thought that Governor
Hubbard had not 'measured tbo water at
Velasco with any dccreo of accuracy. Gov
ernor Hubbard had said upon the floor of ttiis
congress that Volasro had seventeen feet of
wnlnr , but Colonel Gresham said ho would
rather take the measurement made by a
sailor than that reported by Governor Hub
bard.
The speaker then took up the shipping In
terests represented at the Galveston port.
Ho said that ono company bad already estab
lished a line of vessels between Galveston
aud Nlcarauga that was taking a largo share
of the commerce between these ports. In
shipping bananas this line of steamers had
almost captured the entire trade between the
two ports. This was a Galveston enterprise
and It showed what might bo done by
American capital if the facilities were on-
largod.
The speaker then explained that the work
upon the Gnlveston harbor had boon delayed
very much by the contractors upon ono ex-
cusb and anolhor , but before another year
had gene Ihe people of Galveston hoped to
see the work pushed forward to such n point
ni to give them eighteen or twenty feet of
water In the Gnlveston harbor.
AVator and Kali Freight Compared.
Mr. S. A. Thompson , of Minnesota then
addressed the conuress upon tbo subject of
water ways. Ho said that ono of the chief
elements in the prosperity of the country
was ample and speedy facllilios for reaching
the markets of the world with the produce of
the laud and for receiving in return these
things that the people have to buy from for
eign countries. The speaker then made a
comparison of the water und rail freight
rates and showed that water rates had de
creased almost as rapidly as rates by
rail. Ha hold that the facilities
by water could bo Improved Just
us much as the facilities by rail , but the sub
ject had not been given so much attention.
On the Erie canal the cost of shipping was
only half as much as it was upon the most
thoroughly equipped railroad in tbo land.
An experienced railway president had re
cently said that the roads were not through ,
by nny moans , with water way competition ,
oven of the canal chnraclor.
When it came to deep water transportation ,
tbo speaker said it cost twenty-six times as
much by rail as it did by steamship upon the
lakes. The best steamships nn the great
lakes iHako bettor time than the average
freight trains on the best railways.
Such steamers as tbo E. C. Popa
made an average of sixteen miles uu hour
from Detroit to Buffalo , while the freight
trains made an average of only about ten
miles an hour. Thus tbo steamships on the
great lakes not onlv carried freight for ono
twenty-sixth rart of the amount charged by
rail , but they also carried the merchandise
moro speedily than tbo railways did. Ho
showed that railroad rutoi were kept In

chock by water w&.v compotltlon. The
speaker called the attention of the assembly
to n mat ) of the United State * across which
ho bad thrco ribbons drawn show
Ing the relative dUtnnco * ot western
points from Chtcniro , Duluth and
UnlvcMon. Ho astonished sotno of the ecu-
tlcmon by showing from the map tnnt Denver -
vor KM rw close to Duluth as to Galveston
nnd 125 miles nearer Duluth than Chicago.
The point upon the uiao equidistant from
Dulutb , Chicago and GnlvoMon was found
west of the cnntcr of the state of Kansas.
The speaker than turned lo the shipping
Interests of Duluth , and said that the aggre
gate tonnage that passed through the Sault
canal last year exceeded the tonnage that
passed th.-ougl. the Suez canal by over TOO , 000
tons. The tonnage that passed through the
Detroit river last year oxcccdod the tonnngo
of Liverpool nnd London by over 3,000,000
tons. lApplauio.J
Mr. Thompson aald bo did not wish to bo
understood as being opposed to tha opening
up of the water ways to the south. Ho
wanted to see water ways opened wherever
they could bo opened. Ho wished partic
ularly to show the great necessity and the
practicability of opening up great water
ways from the great lukos to the Atlantic
ocean. Ho nald the English and Canadian
governments would soon hnvo their St.
Lawrence" canals completed and have a water
way capable of accommodating ships that
drew fourteen feet of water. The
British would then command the
great carrying trade of the great
lakes. This would not only permit ( Jreat
Britain to control the commerce of the lakes ,
but It would nUo glvo that nation nn oppor
tunity If war should arise to send her war
ships right Into thu Interior of our country ,
by wav of the great lakes , and lav slego to
the cities of Buffalo , Cleveland , Chicago ,
Milwaukee nnd other great cities. Mr.
Thompson said It would pay the United
States to establish n waterway from the
great lakes through its own territory to
the Atlantic seaboard for the accommoda
tion of ships drawing twenty foot of
water. If this were done , tno speaker
held , the United States would retain
control of the commerce of the great luicc *
and would also bo in shape to defend tha
great cities along tha lake * with her war
ships In case a conllict should arise botwcou
the United States and Great Britain. Mr.
Thompson was heartily applauded at the
closo.
of Connrntulntlon.
A resolution urging the covernmont to
proceed with the Improvement of the harbor
at Gatvcston was then presented and
adopted.
A twin resolution was then presented con
gratulating the people ot Volasco , Tox. , upon
the statement made by the delegates from
Texas that there was seventeen feet of water
In the harbor nt the mouth of the Braze *
river , near Volasco.
Governor Fishbach of Arkansas was op
posed to the resolution because ho held that
ft was an advertising scliomo.
Governor Hubbard of Texas replied to
Governor Fishbach in a ringing speech that
.seemed to carry conviction to the minds of
the delegates. Governor Hubbard said the
resolution might have an advertisement in It
but there was something else in it that the
congress certainly would recognize. It was
a recognition of tha encouraging state
ment that Volasco had by the enterprise of
her citizens secured seventeen feet of water.
It did not cost thu congress a cent , neither
did It compromise the assembly to congratu
late the people of Velasco upon their good
fortune und upon their enterprise in improv
ing the natural harbor at the mouth of the
Brazes river.
Mr. Busbnell of Nebraska was opposed to
the resolution because ho claimed that it
was intended to boom private enterprise. Ho
wanted to see the congress keep clear of all
advertising scheme * .
Mr. Crawford of Volasco took the floor and
defended the resolution. Ho read the follow
ing loiter from Secretary Foster to show
that Volasco had deep water :

Mr. Ball of Missouri , arose and sr > ld that
he bad never attended u convention whcro
the delegates seemed to want so much water.
| Applause. ] Ho was in favor of the Velasco
resolution nnd for ovorv other stop that
would encourage the opening up of new
water ways to the open sea board. Ho didn't
care tf some of these towns did receive so mo
valuable advertising just so the whole coun
try received the bonctlt of cheaper transpor
tation.
The discussion was than discontinued and
the congress voted upon the resolution con
gratulating Volasco. The resolution was
adopted with but very little opposition.
The congress then adjourned to meet nt 9
o'clock this morning , when the discussion of
the free coinage of silver will bo trrken up.

FECHHEIMER , JgOODKIND &JX ) , ,
of Ne\v York City , have been known for years as manufacturers of the
Finest Clothing for Men made in the whole United States. Goods made
by this concern were as well known to the clothing men of this country
as Sapolio to the Belles of the Kitchen , or Pears' Soap to the belles of the
parlor. For reasons not necessary to state at this time , this firm very
recently resolved to dissolve partnership , close out their entire stock
and go out of business. For a number of years we have been among
the best customers that this house has had. Before this stock was offered
to the general public , a few of the largest cash buyers in the land ,
among them our Mr. Strasburger , the member of our firm who lives in
New York , and who is , considered one of thel est clothing buyers in this
country , were invited to go through this magnificent stock , just manu
factured for Fall trade , and make their selections. Mr. Strasburger
made the largest purchase made by any one concern. He selected
THE CREAM OF THE STOCK.
He paid spot cash for the goods. He bought goods for less money than ,
wevere ever able to buy fine goods before. After these few buyers had
culled over the entire stock and selected the good things , the balance of
thejstock was thro wn on the market at auction. The reputation of this
house was so great that these goods were eagerly snapped up , the bid
ding being so brisk that everything brouglit good prices , most o"f them
full regular prices , and in many cases more than F. G. & Co. had ever
asked for them. This immense purchase , which comprises the largest
assortment of
FINE SITITSAND OVERCOATS
_
ever shown in this western world.is now on its way to Omaha , and
will arrive in a day or two. In the meantime , in order to
REDUCE OUR PRESENT STOCK
to its lowest possible limit , themanwith the red ink has been through
the Suits and Overcoats and marked them all down to the lowest pos
sible notch.
Watch our corner of the "Bee. " It'll be mighty interesting read
