smoker held Thursday night at the
Coliseum for . " .000 of the waterway
delegates and their friends. Taft also
.spoke at the opening meeting of the
convention Wednesday morning. Bryan
spoke at the session Thursday morn
ing.
William K. Kavanaugh. president of
the association , called the convention
lo order and introduced Bishop Sam
uel Fallows , who pronounced the invo
cation. Bibhop Fallows prayed for the
early consummation of the convention's
objects in the interest of American pro4
.rress and the greater gjory of God. The
address of President Kavanaugh fol
lowed the invocation , and after it Sec-
j tvrary William F. Saunders read his
j report.
I The. audience presented an nnusnal-
' ly beautiful assemblage , every delegate
! holding an American Hag. which bad
been presented to him at the > door on
his entrance. On the stage , in addition
to the officers of the association dele
gates , sat Governors , United States
Senators and Congressman of the vari
ous States and officials of many differ-
on t cities.
AVaiervrny History Ji Related.
William F. Sauuders of S't. Louis , secretary -
rotary of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep
Waterway Association , in his report to
the convention detailed the history of the
deep-waterway movement , the difficulties
it encountered in the beginning , its pur
pose , scope and prospects for the future
and the benefits that the United States
would derive from it.
The work of the association in teach
ing through newspapers , magaxincs.
pamphlets and speakers the importance of
the deep-waterway project was explained
by Secretary Saunders.
"Through its publicity , " the report sets
forth. * 'l.lic association teaches the mer
chants and manufacturers that with the
building of the deep waterway freight
rates will be steady and reasonable and
not -subject to the violent fluctuations
such as occur at present. It also teaches
tb" l.r 00trOO m < Mi directly employed by
the railways that mil and river traus-
ixntation are complementary : they must
help eaoh other to perfect the transpor
tation of the country. "
According to Secretary Saunders the
doctrine of the association is that the
first duty of the government is to perfect
its transportation and that this can only
bo done by building the deep waterway
from Chicago to New Orleans , improving
at the same time into complete naviga
bility the principal tributaries of the Mis
sissippi river s o that Uie ship waterway
between the lakes and the gulf will be the
trunk Hue of a comprehensive system of
uafM'wa.vs.
The actual lanni'lting of the deep wuier-
\ \ movement . by the frip down the river
from f'hi'-auo to Now Orleans over rhu
route of the proposed waterway made by
Congressmen William Loriiner and Henry
T. Rainey of Illinois and Ben JHumpbroys
of Mississippi and their oriraniziim of
the deep \valerway association was re
lated hi Secretary Saunders and every
stop taken in that connection by the \ari-
ous associations , officials and citizens
since then was explained.
"Tho fiiM convention of the association
held in St. Louis had on its roster 1.100
delegates representing twelve States. * * '
runs the report. "The second conventiou
in Memphis ia tear t had mi its roster
2'WO delegates , representing nineteen
States , and this convention has on its

cour States. "

OW 03HE. :
EUROPE'S WAR CLOUD.
Muss in the Balkans Has Served to
Greatly Excite the Powers.
It is a long time since Europe ha
had anything as exciting as the Bul
garian muss. Turkey had just begun
business under its constitution , and
lion.be Humid had begun to cot used
to the sight of his subjects and quit
wearing .sheet iron linings in bis bloom
ers. There was some prospect that the
army and navy might get a 1'ew years'
overdue back pay. and the ladies of
the zenana were figuring on a few new
Paris gowns ami high-heeled slippers.
E\erytiiing was sailing along smoothly
when Prince Ferdinand suddenly got
the bit in his teeth and ran away with
the whole outfit. His independence
party movement has set all Europe wor
rying
Austria has announced her intention
OL annexing the provinces of Bosnia
and Herxegovina. and as Cousin \Vil-
helm is backing tip this little land grab
it is pretty likely to go through. Ituly
is mad because Austria is seizing a ter
ritory largely peopled by Italians. Rus
sia is mad on general principles. Tur
key is busy trying to thrash naughry ,
naughty Ferdinand , and Austria is un
opposed. There is a demand for a con
gress o'f the-signatories to the Berlin
treaty to decide what shall be done ,
nuw that Austria has violated the In
tegrity of Turkey , but siudcnts of Eu
ropean politics fear that such a meeting
would icsult in trouble.
However , it is not believed that war
will result unless the progressive ele
ment among the Turks feels that some
thing must be clone to prove that a
new era has dawned in Turkey. The
chief danger apparently is that Russia
and perhaps certain other countries of
Europe will demand something to com
pensate them for the increased strength
of Austria and its allies. Further , the
fuiy of the Servians , at the growing
prestige of their old rivals , the Bulga
rians , may lead to armed attacks along
the Bulgarian or Austrian frontier.
The Bulgarians of Macedonia who ,
opposing Greece an one .side and Tur
key on the other , long have sought to
come under the political domination
of Sofia , doubtless will take new hope
from the formation of an independent
nation ruled by a "czar of the Bulgari
ans. " Only a war of conquest against
Turkey could join them to the new
Bulgarian kingdom. The Bulgarian
army is remarkably efficient for its
size , but the staying power of 1he
Turks has been abundantly demon
strated.
Russia's wish for a new conference
of tbo powers which signed tbo treaty
ol Berlin tn modify that instrument
.seems to lv generally shared by the
governments of Europe- . The present
feeling at P.iris and London is that the
emperor of Germany , by encouraging
Francis Joseph and Ferdinand in ( h < > ir
daring course , has scored heaily
against the n w western alliance form-
edy hy King Edward. Still , it is prob
able that the whole matter will end
merely in peaceful diplomatic pas
sages.

with the work of conservation that baa
already been done in Utah and Calitor-
nia as outlined by the speakers and
warmly applauded Gov. Cutler's re-
mari.s as to the prominent part Presi
dent Roosevelt has taken in forward
ing the work in all parts of the coun

PENSION INCREASE $18,064,821.

The report of the commissioner oC
pensions for Mie fiscal year ending on
June 'JO last , shows that during the
year there were : 'A'V \ deathsnmong
civil war veterans who were on the

to about r per cent of the total , and
left 0 ± SOSl survivors on the roll. The
number of deaths was 'i.lS greater
than during the previous year.
The total number of pensioners at
the end of the year was D3UJS7. Dur

Berlin , has associated herself with
these proposals and will not counsel
Turkey to go to war.
The proclamation of Bulgarian inde
pendence was preceded by a conflict
between Bulgaria and Turkey over the
Oriental railroad in eastern Riimelia.
Bulgaria took possession of this line
In September because of a strike and
began to operate it with her military
forces. When the strike had been set
tled she refused to restore control lo
Turkey , which led to a sharp conflict.
In spite of the Qtideavors of the powers
the military forces of both Turkey and
Bulgaria prepared for eventualities.
The action taken by Bulgaria and
Austria-Hungary is condemned in offi
cial and diplomatic circles of London ,
but the British government is prepared
to co-operate in any steps which may
be taken by the powers concerned. The
principal purpose is the prevention of
a warlike outbreak.
News no less interesting than that

Is brought in the Vienna dispatches to
tlie effect that Austria-Hungary has de
cided to annex the occupied provinces
of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Emperor
