for being one of the two Democratic
Senators to fight the tariff hill of the

Senator Ransdcll said that he was

that this section of the country could
ace its way clear to take, a fair share!
of the waterways appropriation which

The other speaker» were Congre- -man
.1. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia, and
president of the Atlantic Deepe'r Water

Donahue, of Philadelphia, and a member
of the rivorn ami harbor» •'ommittoo of
Congress; Mayor Frederick W . Donnelly.
of Trenton. N J.. and president of the
New Jersey Mnp Canal Association;
Congressman Brockson and former Con
gressman Hiram R. Burton.
Howell S. England, local member of
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso
elation, introduced Senator Saulsbury.
Mr. England read a letter from Con
gre-sman John H. Small, of North Caro
lina regretting that he could not be
present at the meeting on account of a
f
terrific storm that had vUited bis homo
town and made bis presence there im
perative.
In assuming flic chair Senator Sauls
bury said in part : "My friends, you all
know how glad I am to get back, and
although I have been away only six
months. I have come home as often as
I could. It is an added pleasure 1» come
here with such di-lingiiisheil men and t«

He said that (.encra B.vby rh.e l of
the army engineers, had recently^made^
report on the ( liesapeak. a '^ Dehrware
canal m which lie recommends that it bn
acquired by the government at a n
about $2,600.000, and Dial $*. 000,1100 tie
expended in improving if. He said that
he might not know as much about Die
report as some of those pre-ent, but he
intended to, know all al>ont it in a short
time, und lie hoped that he could tie of
benefit to the people of the State
some
nnj country in the matter.
All sections of the country arc in
terested in the improvement of water
and the bringing of the world'«
ways
commerce to the doors of cities, and
Wilmington has shown that it is in
terested and alive to its possibilities
by its vote of 7 to 1 in favor of the
waterfront. Senator Saulsbury said.
In closing, he praised tonner Sen
ator Anthony Higgins, who he said
was a strong man, and the State of
Delaware owed him a debt of gratitude
for the work which he had done >n
agitating the waterways project even
before the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association was formed. He then
introduced the chief speaker of the
evening. Senator Randell, of Louisi
ana, who said In part:
"Three years ago. as a member of
the committee on Rivers and Harbors
in the House of Representatives, I
passed through the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal with Congressman
-Moore, in an effort lo get a personal
knowledge of it. I must confess un
til I read General Bixby's report, that
I wan not in favor of the project be
feet deep, which 1 thought would be
cause it was lo make the canal 25
a little too expensive when Die.
ocean was but a stone's throw-from
I
Now that it is recommended
that the canal be 90 feet wide and 13
feet deep I am in favor of It.
He said that Ihe country and Con
gross have at last awakened to the
fact that nothing has been done for
our waterways except to improve ter
minais of railroads, and harbors and
eanal and rivers had been untouched.
He said lhat every cent of money
spent for the improvement of canals
and rivers has come hack to the citi
zens and cited the $ 11 ) 0 , 000,000 spent
on the Great' Lakes, Detroit and St.
Mary's rivers which has saved the
yon.
people, of the country more than
$300,000,000 and freight is now car
ried at one ninth of the railroad rale.
"Yet," said the speaker, "yon will
find it an exceedingly hard task to
secure $ 8 , 000,000 for your canal, even
though it be the connecting link of
the waterways of the entire Atlantic
coast. There will be lots of kicking
when you ask for the money. People
all over the country are wanting jusi
what you want. Those on the Mis
sisaippi want $25.000.000, there on the
Ohio want $8.000.000. out west they
arc clamouring for millons, Mayor
Donnelly want $20,000,000 for his
canal across New Jersey and as the
president used to live t'hero I don't
know hut what he will gel it'."
He then explained that the only
way to secure the canal was to get
into ihe push witji Ihe people from
all sections of the country and help
them to secure their improvements in
return for help in securing Ihe canal.
Wilfred EL Schoff, secretary of the
association, gave an interesting talk,
illustrated with colored slides, show
int the conditions as they exist on the
Atlantic coast and the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal as one of the con
nPP || n g links on the Atlantic coast,
senator Saulsbury introduced Con
gressman Moore as the best Informed
in America on matter» pertaining
man
to Atlantic coast waterways.
Congressman Moore in opening his
speech, congratulated Mr. England on
the size of the audience and .said that
It was Judge George Gray who said
that then- wa- nothing against Um
project of taking over the canal ex
the-oept that everybody was for it, which
he said wag certain y e cn-e of Wll

He praised the work of former Con
groastnen Hiram R- burton and Wll
llam H. Heald in Congress, whom he
aai d k ot t * ,p B,a,p of Delaware more
recognition than any representatives
that had been ,hP,p ' nr many years,

of the country have been wailing sir.re

phesied that as a result of the trip to
Lorevvood Grove on next Wednesday
the canal would be taken over by the
