(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. April 6. (Special.) In
connection w ith the great .conference to be
hMd at the White lloune In May, to dis
cuss the nation's natural resources, a recent
census bulletin Is of significant Interest,
rtail and water trannporttlon will form the
principal, topic of discussion .when the gov
ernors and olhej prominent man from each
of the various states of the union meet
with President Roosevelt to consider what
the president aptly terms the "funda
mental problem" before the country. Cen
sus bulletin No. 91, devoted to "transporta
tlon by water'.' during 1906, gives some In
teresting figures concerning the growth
of traffic - through canals of deep draft,
while a heavy falling off In tonnage Is
shown In all other canals. The total num
ber of tons of freight which passed
through the ship canals of the United
Statea during that year was 118,114,267, as
sgalnst 38.905,820 tons In 1889 and 5.076,391
In 1880. On the other hand, all other ca
nels In the country In 1906 carried but 4,330,
138 tons of freight, as compared with 9,762.
505 tons in 18S9 and 15.967,901 In 1KS0.
The enormous growth of business through
the canals at Sault Ste. Marie controlled
by the Unite-States and Canada, respec
tively. Is more readily understood when
compared with the tonnage of the vessela
passing through the Suea and Kaiser Wll
helm csnsls.
In 1896 the net tonnage of the American
Canadian canals was 17.149.41S. During the
same years vessels measuring 8.560.284 tons
psssed through the Sues canal and 1,50S,98J
through the Kaiser Wilhelm.
Ten years later the tonnage passing from
and to Lake Superior points through the
"Soo" reached the enormous figure of 41,
09.33i tons, while the reports from Sues
showed only 13.443.J92, and the tonnage of
the German ditch had grown to t.796,949.

Members of, congress, especially- those
from the western states, ,are rather proud
of tho fact that they are compelled to an
swer anywhere from twenty-five to 100 let
ters every day. But there are a few, poa
slbly aa many aa half a dosen. who have
to answer tho calls of at least twenty of
their (constituents, who visit them In per
son, every twenty-four hours. All these
have a comparatively easy time cor pared
with the demands made upon the time of
Representative Charles 3. Carltn of the
Eighth district of Virginia. Mr. Carlln's
home Is In Alexandria. . only eight miles
from Washington, and in consequence he
la the most sought after man In congress.
Not a day passes but at least fifty of his
constituents visit him. They come In pairs,
dozens and acores, and the new member
has discovered, what he never suspected
before election, thet about half of his en

Carltn la one of the youngest members of
the house. He represents the new school of

an essential requlslt for the election of
anyone to congress from the southern states
was blue blood connections. Just after the
war It was easier for a soft-nosed bullet to

not to the manon born to be elected to con
gress. But today the aalf-made young man
of the south has an equal chance with hia
mora fortunate confrere to "break Into"
congress. I Mr. Carlin Is of that type. He
won hia election on hl merits and he has
certainly "made good."
Since the house met In December he hss
not missed single session. He has been
one of the most active and painstaking of
the southern members. His speech on the

history for the basis of his speech. It waa
through his efforts that the commissioners
of the District of Columbia were rrstrslned
from paying $1,500,000 to the Pennsylvania
railroad as Washlngton'a share of the coat

The' items of business In the session of
the city council Ftldsy pight have called
forth considerable .Comment. The first was
the settlement of the W. F. Evana Judg
ment for J2.000. This resolution was passed
on the recommendation of the city attorney
and was presented to the council by J. H.
Bulla.. .The council first ordered Hhe at
torney to appeal. 1l)e case, but last Friday
rescinded Its former action. The suit was
for personal Injury. Evans was examined
by Dr. John Koutsky, at that time city"
physician. and pronounced uninjured.
When the case Was brought to trial for
some reason Dr. Koutsky waa never called
as a witness. Nsturally. it should have
been the duty of the city claim agent to
aee that all the witnesses who had knowl
edge of the case should have been called,
and especially the city physician, w ho 'had
examined the supposed injured party.
The assistant city attorney said yester
day morning: "I don't believe Evans was
entitled to a red cent. Tho Judgment was
for S:,500, but Evans agreed to a re
mittitur of $,',00 on the ground of Imme
diate aettlement. The Judgment cannot be
paid this year, for the judgment fund haa
been'largely overdrawn. ' J. H. Bulla styled
the case aa one of holdup, b,ut laid all the
responsibility on the city attorney. The
present administration has been apt at
settling cases of this kind out of court.
The second Item waa the Independent
Telephone franchise. The petition pre
sented In protest had the effect of killing
the ordinance, which waa on Its final
paeaage. The council caused another ordl
nance to be introduced to submit the
question of the Independent Telephone
franchise to a vote of the people. The o
dlnance names May S aa the date of the
apecial election. This Is the same date as
tha special election voting court house
bonds. The haste of the present council
to get the ordinance through Is accounted
for In the minds of many ,who have been
watching events, when it is known that
the democratic campaign fund received
fl.SOO from some source pot long ago. The
Independent telephone people have been
aeeking admission into South Omaha over
a year, but the council never seemed
anxious to take up the matter until the
approach of the campaign. '

M'KILLIP TALKS OF THOIHLE9
Demoeratle War Horse Says He Will
Try to Make Good.
HUMPHREY. Neb., April 6.-(Speclal.)
P. E. MeKlllIp, whose affsira have been
pushed Into bankruptcy by creditors of
this place and In Minnesota, talks aa fol
lows of his financial condition to the
Democrat:
Some Of my creditors, becoming Impa
tient, have filed bankruptcy proceedings
against me, and thus tied my hands ao
as to prevent me from doing any business
for two or three weeks until the case can
be heard. Should the court adtuda-e me
a bankrupt, then the men who I owe -would
eiect a trustee to take charge of mv
property sell It and pav mv debts. I
have no fauit to find with the creditors
who have commenced proceedings, as I
have been unable to meet navmenta due
them at maturity. Should my property
mi io pay niv aems in run, i will start
sgain and eventually pay every man whom
I owe a dollar. I am Informed that there
have been some wild runiprs out about
my running away, and you may say em
phatically that I have no definite plans
for moving, and that anv irniva I mav
make will be with the sole object of get
ling Into a place where I can make suf
ficient money to pay my debts to the fast
dollsr. No man will event ua II v lose a
cent and ull I ask la ordinary charity
and forbearance until I can get on my
ieei HKum. - x am more than grateful for
the consideration which the men whom I
owe have thus far shown, and thla has
strengthened my resolve that evry cred-
nor inajj oe pam in run. i win remain
In Humphrey at least for the nrement
and, should a trustee be appointed for
my propeny, win lender him my serv
ices free of cost in disttoslna- of asm mnA
winding up my eRtaf. Should there be
a shortsce. I will then lay plans for
making aufflcient money to pay for It.
and with that end In view may poaaiblv
move, but that is a matter for future
consideration.

Fire Destroys Coal Chafes.
HOLDREGE, Neb.. April 6.-Sperlal Tel
egram.) Fire destroyed the Burlington coal
chutes yesterday. The fire broke out about
Jl o'clock, with a strong wind blowing from
the aouth, and for a time It looked as
though that part of tho town waa doomed.
The local fire department, assisted by
every man and boy who could do anything
to prevent tha spread of the fire, however,
kept the (lames confined to the coal chutea.
All hope of saving them was given up, but
nearby buildings and property were pro
tected and by strenuous effort were saved
from the flames and 'sparks that were
carried by the strong wind whicb prevailed
at the time. The loss to the railroad com
pany la estimated at from $4,000 to $6,000.
The fire la thought to have been started
from the sparks of an engine.
