HA BRYAN IS MADE PRESIDENT ( Contlnufil frcm 1'lrst Page ) 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.

Ths program which had been laid out for last night's session of Transmlsnlsslppi congress was only partially rendered , only one of the delegates to whom a subject had bes-n assigned belug able'to deliver his ad dress on account of otlur business coming up for consideration. This business contorted of a partial report of the committee on resolu tions. Immediately after the congress had been called to order at 8 o'clock by President Hryan , Deputy Socrrtary Culnur read a tels- gram which had ben rccalved from Govarnor W. J. McConnell of Idaho. The tslegram , dated Ilolsf , was as follows : To the Preslcle.it aid Members of Traim- mlH3lilppl Congress : I notice by the press dispatcher that .Ml * .

WHITMOUK'S DISCLAIMER. As BOOH as the. telegram has been read President llryan announced thit Mr. VVli't- nordcilrcd to say a few words of correc tion , and ( he gentleman at one ; mounted the platform. Mr. Whltmore said that h ? hsd not Intended to ay much during the preterit session of the congrect , but blng chairman of the executive- committee , he felt called upon to reply to the telegram. He contlnus-i- "I tppeal to every man In tuli concr > a o prove that I have never made any tuca remarks alju//th | ! lvr plitform , clthe hero In thtr YtttsrMs or anywhere else , make the e renisrV * opcitice I consider It my dnty to do no as an official of this bsdy.

" President Hrym requested the varloiu dele gations to hand liuthe namrs of candldlte for vice prffldejilfland cunmltteemen , In forming thi * oTvntlon that each s'ale ' wa p-nt'tlsd to n vice president. A motion was made and carried that tha executive commit lee cminMomJ lo fill all vacancies where states wcrofit jjepreioatcd In the congress. The followlnc.resolutlon was Introducsd bj a committee composed of T. P. Kc.it'ir. chilr man ; WllllRtt'J'ohnrton and Andrew J.

Defofe the resolution was put Presldcn Drynn took occasion to express his heart ) sympathy with It. Ho said that If he retiree from the ofTlce > as Mr. Cannon did he would feel that the height of his ambition had been reaclipd , The resolution was Unanlmous-ly paneil on a rising vote , which was called for. R M. Hlchnnlcon Introduced a resolution declaring In favor of the Initiative and the referendum , which was turned over to the committee' on rssolutlons. A motion was made at this moment to make the order of business at 10:30 : o'clocl this morning the matter of choosing the time and place for.holding the- next meeting o the conjjrJM. "The motion rfmalned wllhou a second , for It appeared to bn the scntlmen of the body that various cities should b given an opportunity of putting In bids. A number of delegates arose and declared thn they desired to have time to arrange offers which would be made to the congress ns lit dttcem ° nls for holding tha congress In the cities which they represented. 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 last resolution was on the silver ques tlon , and no opportunity was given for dls ciist-'on ' , as the hour was late. A motion was madf that It be made the order of the ilaj at 2:30 : this aftcrncon , and the motion prc vall'tl without opposition. The text Is as folluns : Whereas , An appreciating money standan Impairs nil contracts , banl-rnpts enterprlces makss lillo money profitable by Increaslnt , Its purchashiff irawer and suspends pro ilnctlvo forces of our itcon'.c : and Whereas , The spoliation consequent upoi the outlawry of silver In the Interest of tilt creditor class by constantly Increasing the value of Ro'il Is undermining nil Industrla society , therefore , Ucsjlved , That we demand the Iminodlati restoration of the free and unlimited coin age of gold nnd silver nt the presiit ratio of 10 to 1 , without waiting for tin. aid or consent of any olher nation , such gold and rJlver coin to be alike n fill legal tender of' nil debts , public nnd private 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 ening of the harbor had not bee-n reported. Ho claimed that Ihe resolution had been ap proved by the committee. Governor Prlnco of New Mexico , who Is chairman of the committee on resolutions , ialil that he had bec-n present when the reso lution had been approved , and claimed tint he 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- larger. "The Advantages of the Sunshine Region , " L. n.

About 150 niemliT ; ' of the club called during the afternoon to py heir reflects to the visitor1. During the early part of th ; afternoon the delegates nnd heir frlnuls were given a trolley party by ho Commercial club : consequently the : ucsts were somewhat late In arriving at the eccptlon.
