THEY PROTEST
THE H 5 H. BILL
Washington Dec. 9—Five Special
trains, ea£h. carrying more than 200
enthusiastic delegates, arrived in
Washington today for the opening of
the eleventh annual convention of
the National Rivers and Ha.rbOj-6
convention, Sessions are being held
today, and will be continueed to
morrow and Friday, to protest
against th« action of the l«st con
gress in outting the appropriations
tor rivers and harbors work from
$53,000,000,' as provided by the
senate committee, or $43,000,000 as
provided by the house of represen
tatives, to a lump sum of $20,000,
000.
Vigorous defenses of the projects
which re so bitterly assailed by
Senator* Burton, of Ohio, and Ken
yon, of Iowa, were prepared by «
number of prominent speakers who
wore ready to address the conven
tion today. These Include Senator
Saulbury, of Dele ware, who made a
strong fight Jn congress for the
purchase and improvement of the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal.
Senator Sheppard, of Texas, who
differed with Burton and Kenyoo as I
to the merits of the Trinity river ap j
propriation, and Representative
Raker, of California, whose pet pr<H
jects, the Sacramento and Feather
river improvements, were allowed]
to go by the board by eongress.
It was the Trinity river, undoubt
edly, however, which got the hard
est knocks. One serious minded
senator asked if the appropriation
was for the macadamizing of the
stream's bed, while senator Gal lin
ger, republican floor leader, asked if
the sppropriation included expen
diture for artesian wells to supply
water for the river.
When Senator SheppaTd had the
temerity to declare that a boat was j
er*i then on its way up the river,
Senator Noma Inquired if it were j
coming up on a flat car.
President J. Hampton Moore, of j
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways as
sociation, has a stinging speech ]
prepared entitled, "The Pork Bar- j
rel," which is a reply to what he
regards as the flippant criticisms in
many newspapers of the river and
harbor improvement propaganda.
Stst* \lary Zeno, the mother su
perior of St. Ann's hospital at Ju

convent is being planned, the old
hospital building to be used for the
purpose.

A Representation of the Feverish Nights
of Pleasure and Dissipation of the
Klondyke Rush When Men Between

Rose Flush of Morn Passed From
Honesty and Respectability to Dishon
or and Despair— The Moral: It is
There if You Care to Analyze.
' Everyone in Skagway is ou the
tiptoo of expectation regarding the
Elks' "97 Carnival and Dance," an
nounced to come off tomorrow night
and for which the committee of
arrangements is now putting on the
finishing touches of its work of
providing means for the amusement
and entertainment of the large num
ber of guests whom it is anticipat
ed will attend.
From N. E. Black, the chairman i
of the committee, we learn that the
affair will b6 conducted as
nearly ~ along the lines of I
the sourdough dance hall as j
ft "is possible' for people to go
without overstepping the bounds of
respectability; in fact, there will
be all the accessories of the early
day gambling hall and hurdy gurdy
house with the objectionai features
tntirely eliminated or toned down
60 as not to offend «-iie sense ot
propriety of the most sedate and
fastedious member o'" society.
Among the ladies of Skagway
who have signified their intention
of being present there is apparently
quite a good deal of indecision mani
fested as to tha appropriate cos
tutne to wear to such a function.
Chairman Black, in mentioning the
matter this morning, said; "it will
be jqeither a dress affair nor a
hard times dance; any lady can
come in the costume she thinks will
be most appropriate to the occasion.,
for in the days of which this carni- i
Tal is Intended as a reproduction,
the dancehall favorite in silk ap
parel and bedecked with precious
stones fraternized and associated
with her more humble sister who
was. through necessity compelled to
wear cheaper material and less
gaudy and expensive j®wlry and
rubbed shoulders with the humble
iittle Salvation lassie, who was on
her nightly round of visits to
the dens of iniquity and vice, whore
experience had taught, her that n.p
peals for charity on behalf of the
poor and unfortunate would not be
turned aside unanswered.
The gambling paraphernalia will
be that in use at a time when al
most the entire adult male popula
tion of Alaska thought it nothing
out of the way to endeavor to trim
the claws of the tiger or to -roll the
ivory cubes, whose manipulation
spelled either "chicken" or "feath
ers" in the coming day's menu.
The roulette and crap tables will
be placed in the main hall down
stairs, in which the dauce will also
be conducted, while <tlie faro and
blackjack layouts will bo spread in
the reception room. An imitation
bar, at which will be dispensed
"soft" drlnka only, vrtll be another
feature.
Admission will be $1, tor which
each gentleman paying the price
will receive $5,000 in Elks' Buli
Coin, which will be good at any of
the games for its face value. As
there will be plenty o( this kind !
of money on hand anyone who runs j
short during the .evening may re
plenish his purse by donating an
other dollar to the Elks' fund.
Quite a number of people from
Haines and Ft. YT U. S«ward have
signified their intention of being
present, while an excursion irain
will" be run over from Whltehoree |
tomorrow on the regular schedule, j
