irtttt , but th ? ransl was only twcnty-Mx at'
( our- tenths miles In length. Thus 143 miles
of freMi water way waa supplied by thl toke
The lake was 110 feet above the level of tha
tin , to that six docks would have to h * > con
rtructed to raise the vessels to enter the
lake and lower then ) to the level of thfl
octnn on the opposite aid * . The fact that the
ship ! could pa > i through this expanse o
fie li water would bp appreciated by s a
men. The fresh water was pottoii to the
marine growth which accumulated on the
bottoms of vessels and thus every vesse
would be thoroughly cleansed In Hi passage
through Lake Nicaragua ,
The speaker than told of the Immense com
merclal advantages to be gained by the us <
of the short passage nnd which were o
tremendous extent and Importance. The
people of the west could not bring thcli
product by rail to tompste with the produc
of sections which had no such tolls to pay
i\eu on their fruits they had to pay $300
a car for transportation to the eastern
market. U had come to that point where
the completion of this canal meant life or
death to the Pacific coast. The cent of the
canal , according to the estimates , vnrlei
from $65.000.000 to < 12ri,000,000 , and , as
Burning that $100,000,000 was a fair esti
mate , he clled llgures to show that the cana
would n y 14 per cent Interest on that amount
after all emergencies bad been provided for
The best that cnuld be done was ? to complete
the canal at the end of the centuiy. Ho
urged the convention to co-operate with Mio
people of the Pacific const In urging congress
to take Immediate action.
HK.MKDY FOR SOME HVILS.
At this point In the proceedings Senator
Allen was voted the privileges of n delecate
In the convention and then James V. Muhonej
of Sioux City was Introduced. Ills subjeo
was "Freight IlatM and Discriminations" nni
he handled the subject from a railroad stand
point , tie contended that unwise manipula
tion of the subject had been largely Instru
mental In preventing1 the development of the
west. There was no other business In whlcl
the government assumed to dictate the man
agement and when It demandtd what was
unjust It prevented the extension of railway
lines and created distrust on the purt of al
but'lryss concerns which required capital to
carry on their business. This Interference
with the railroads , ho declared , was not good
political economy.
The Instability of freight rates under the
present system wan cited as oneof Us great-
eat dlsidvantagett. While a cut rata war
might temporarily bcnsflt a certain district
the general result was almost Invariably to
demoralize business.
Mr. Mahoney then proceeded to discuss th ?
remedy for these evils. He believed that II
the proposed amendment to the Interstate
commerce laws , which failed to niss at the
last session on account of a technicality , was
made a law It would work a great benefit.
This bill provided that the varlciis roads
should hava the right to enter Into legal
agreements as to ratcy , subject to the pppro-
val of the Interstate Commerce commission.
Ho argued that If tlin government should let
ths railroads alone , competition would
naturally Insure the maintenance of a fairly
equitable system of raUs. To compel n rail
road to put In i rate that allowed of no profit
to the railroad Injured the road and eventu
ally becams a detriment to the entire com
munity. In dealing with the railroads there
should 1 > 3 comity rather than hostility , and
frankness rather than distrust.
SOME GREAT MONEY MAKBUS.
Captain Lcn llryson of Davenport , la. , fill-
low ed Mr. Mahoney. He said that this sub
ject had been a matter of dispute for many
years botwsen the projucsrs and the rail
roads. In past years these contentions had
been very bitter , but happily this time was
parsed. But there still remained some very
unjust discriminations on the part of the
railroads , notable among which were the
bridge tolls that were exacted by the various
bridge companies and which were pure ex
tortion. No statement from these companies
had ever reached ths public and no one knew
the profit they were making on their
Investments. The speaker cited tlu tariff
on the bridge at Davenport In Illustration of
the extortion practiced by the bridge com
panies and remarked that such cases could
bs quoted to almost any extent.
Captain Bryson discussed the railroad .rates
In Iowa when a tariff , law was in operation
that was Intended to provide a fair , and
reasonable rate system. The railroads had
fought tnls law , but they had been unable to
show that they had not earned a fair com
pensation under Its operation. The speaker
quoted the earnings of various Iowa roads
to show that they had uniformly prospered
under the present rate system. He held that
a fair rate , uniformly maintained , was of
more benefit than a spasmodic cut like the
recent coal rate from Chicago , which only
benefited a few who were In a position to
take advantage of It.
The subject of waterways was considered
in connection with rates and canals were
mentioned with favor as effective equalizers
of railroad rates. The speaker declared that
If the projected Hennepln canal never carr.'e 1
a pound of freight it would ba worth
Infinitely moro then Its cost for the service
it would perform in reducing exorbitant
fi tight rates.
Fremont Knowlen of South Dakota took
the floor to reply to Mr. Mahon--y. Ho said
that he had heard the spaker protest agalnft
any Infringement on the rights of the rail
road , but he had not mentioned the right. ? of
the people. H was the right and duty of tin
law making powers of this country to ci n-
trol these concerns which exacted every dollar
lar the traffic could bear. He stated that he
had just paid $409 freight on a car of paper
from Denver to Deadwood. It was not a
question of right or justice with the railroad
companies , but of how much they could get.
II'.1 alluded to the fictitious capitalization of
the railroads on which they fixed their rates
to earn a certain par cent when the actual In
vestment was less than half the alleged capi
talization.

Immediately after the congress had been

W. J. McConnell of Idaho. The tslegram ,

As BOOH as the. telegram has been read
President llryan announced thit Mr. VVli't-
nordcilrcd to say a few words of correc

platform. Mr. Whltmore said that h ? hsd
not Intended to ay much during the preterit

A motion was made at this moment to

Mil. CUA10 TALKS HAWAII.
At the conclusion of this preliminary bus !
ness President Uryan announced Hugh
Craig of San'Francisco , whose topic of dls
cusslon was "Hawaii. " Mr. Craig oponec
his address by giving the congrcsa an Idea o
the Importance and tOze of the Islands o
which Hawaii forms but one of a group. II )
sild that they were situated 2,000 miles from
California and 6,000 miles from the opposite
coast of China. On the American cd ! ? of the
ocean they commanded , In a commcrcla
sense , a coast llns of some 5,700 miles li
length , and therefore their commerce hac
become a part of the Pacific coast Interest
California , ofwhich slate Mr. Craig Is a
citizen , had obtained such a large part o
this commerce that the Island pople , to al
Intents and purposes , had become a portion
of California people.
As an Instance of the controlling Interes' '
Americans had gained in Hawaiian com
merce Mr. Craig mentioned the fact that 92
per csnt of the business was ? transacted b >
Americans , and that of Hawaiian ships full }
00 per cent were owned by Am rlcans. anc
the rest by citizens of Honolulu. The annual
Imports and exports of the Islands amounted
to $10,000.000 annually. Of this amount SS
per cent of the exports were tak-n by Amor-
'ca and 72 par cenu of the Imports were
Amctlcan products : Mr. Craig attributed this
American commercial supremacy to the reel-
prcclty treaty tfhlch this country made with
Hawaii In 1875 ! * "
Mr. Craig 1i rt'the largest Island of ths
gioup Is HawaHj Tmt the most business Is
transactoJ on the- Island of Waho , on which
Honolulu wa sfluatEd. As an example of the
prcigrcsslvene * iir this city Mr. .Craig men
tloncd the fact What It possess.d a university
which had ah .endowment of $ .1,000,000. II
was presided o\wr by the- best American pro-
fessoro that eonltl'b ' ? outahiMl. and Its edu
cation was csrrhMion on the lines laid down
In tlu UnIted < State' .
PEOPMa-WHO LIVE THEUC.
The population pf the islands' Is In the
neighborhood , of JPO.OOO. Of this number
35.000 are. najhes , 7,000 half castes , 18.000
Jcps , from 13,000 to 15,000 Chinese , 9,001
Portuguese , 5,000" " Europeans and 3,000 immi
grant Americans-1 and 4,000 Americana born
on 'the Islands. ' The 7,009 Americans own d
fully 76 per c'eri _ pf the property of the Is
lands , whlcli"W'jniproved and unimproved
plantations' , aniaiiiitM to $30.000,000. Call-
fornla'ns owrieif" 22,000,000 of this. Mr.
Craig laid empl/jsls on the assertion that this
property was not' ' obtained by spoliation , but
by purchase. II > said that In consequence
the natives had respect for Americans , be
cause tholr property transitions with other
white men had previously ben of an entirely
different nature In conclusion he said *
"Ever sinc Hawaii became a republic it
has been knocking upon our floors for admis
sion lo the union , and will continue to knock
until it gains Emission. The Islands have
been offered to us , and we can have them
whenever we wish. The present governmen'
Is modeled on curs , and there need bo no
clash If they are annexed. The Rieatest ob
jection seemg to be the admission of Chi
nese and njtlvps to citizenship , but no on ?
asks that they bo admitted. "
TOOK UP RESOLUTIONS.
At the conclusion of Mr. Craig's speech
President Bryan announced that non ? of the
other speeches on the program would bo de
livered , as there was other busln-ss to come
up before th ? congress. This business con
sisted of the consideration of a partial report
of the committee on resolutions. Thereupon
Governor Prince of California handed a batch
of resolutions approved by the committee to
the secretary.
The flrt't resslution read was regarding the
annexation of Haw.il ! and the construction of
an ocean cable- between the Islands and
California :
Whereas * . The commerce of Hawaii Is al-
ir.OEt exclusively with the I'aolflc coast
states of the United State ? , and thn Island
republic Is pre-eminently an American col-
Whereas. The president of that republic
has voiced the sentiments of his people
In the following language , vlx : "We nhall
therefore continue the project of political
relations with the United .State ? ns a con-
splclcus feature of our foreign policy , con
fidently hoping thnt i-ooner or later It will
be crowned with t-ucccss lo the lasting ben
efit of both countries : "
Resolved , That the Transmlsslsslppi Com
mercial concress iftspectfully calls the at
tention of United Fftates congressmen to
the patriotic sentiments of these , our
countrymen at Hawaii , and recommends the
adoption of such legislation as will make
the Hawaiian ItlanOs u part of tlio Ameri
can system , to foster the clos relat'ons
now exlFtlnj ; commercially ami socially be
tween the two countries , urgently nnd re
spectfully recommends the constiuctlon of
u submarine cublo from the Puclflo coast
of the United States to Hawaii , under the
control and supervision of the government
of the United States.
As soon as the res61ntlon was read Hugh
Craig obtained Ilia floor and briefly urged the
delegates to support it. P. W. Hlchardson
arose nnd requesfed that tha resolti'lon ba
divided. Ho ea'ld that he was heartily In
'aver of the const iiqtlon of a cable between
the Islands and tliLvoountry , but he was op-
losed to the anujXAlan } or the Islands. Ho
considered Uiiit.Ltls Annexation would furnish
a bad prec.1enl ! , ri '
The prwIclentJ.iKt'Wed ' that the resolution
could bo divided' , 'bin Mr. Craig ended the
dlftlculty by Bayltic he was willing that all
lortlons of thu4ri * > oluUon which suggested
.he annexation Qf tji' * , Islands bs ttrlckoii out.
In consequence Xho words "as will make the
Hawaiian Islands } a. part of tlia Amerlcin
system" were ret ont , and BO amended the
resolution was illnahlinouely adopted.
The ne-xt rcsolittloil was the follsv/lng , and
was adopted wlllioutl a dissenting voice and

As soon as the resolution had been read It
was suggested that It aroused so much discus
sion In the committee that It would be use
less lo begin the discussion upon It at once.
The suggestion appeared to voice the senti
ments of the delegates , and the resolution
was consequently laid over.
As scon as It had been announced that
there were no more resolutions reported one
of Die members of the California delegation
who halls from San Dlcgo demanded lo know
why n resolullon wWch favored the building
of fortlflcallons about San Diego and the deep

Ho claimed that Ihe resolution had been ap

Governor Prlnco of New Mexico , who Is

ialil that he had bec-n present when the reso

had the right to withhold the resolution until
the coirple-te report of the committee had
been made- . Other delegates expressed a like
opinion and although the California delegate
introduced a motion to compel the chairman
to report back the resolution to the congress ,
'lie finally withdrew It.
The mattar of selecting a place of holding
the next meeting was made the special order
of business at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Tele
grams were received last night from Des
Molnes and Nashville , asking that they be
chosen. Delegate Keaton of Idaho bos signi
fied an Intention cf making a strong fight to
get the next session for Uolse City.
DASIS OP VOTING.
Governor Prince , said that before choosing
the next place of meeting he desired to bring
up a consideration of the basis of representa
tion. Under the existing rules , while- each
state was entitled to at least ten delegates enroll
roll call no state was allowed morn votes
than the actual number of delegates present.
This Is a last year's amendment of the old
rnlo which provided that on a roll call each
state represented In the congress should be
entitled to ten votes , without regard to the
number of delegates present.
Governor Prince , asserttd that the existing
basis of representation was not equitable. He
snlJ that under It the country In the nelgh-
borl oed In which the congress was being held
was easily abl * to hold the majority of votes ,
wh'le HID more distant portions at the terri
tory had hardly a voice In the proceed ngs , be
cause each state could iend but a few dele-
gntrs on account of the expense. He there
fore moved that the existing rul3 be amended
o Its former shape so tint each Htato would
bo entitled to ten votes on roll call , no matter
how many d-lesaes It had present.
A number of delegates spoke on the ques
tion , but the only one who opposed the pro-
licseJ amendment was V. W. Hlchard.son. Mr.
Richardson lu'ld that If the basis of rcpres n-
Ution was so amended It would tend to de
crease the number of delegates sent by states
to the congr ss.
The mot'on passed almost unanimously.
On adjourning it wao decided to meet this
morning nt 9 o'clock on account of the long
rirogram that has been arranged. The fol
lowing subjects were announced for discus
sion :
"Irrigation , " H. Jones.
"Hesourc-E of Arid Idaho , " T. P. Keaton.
"Irrigation in Nebraska , " Wllllan Recce.
"It rlfatlon tin General , " A. G. Walfen-
