THE CHICAGS WATER TRANSPORTATION, Another Consultation Over the Canal System of Illinois.

Bross, Allen, and Others, Ameeting of gentlemen interested In In- creasing the water-transportation facilities of the West—anost of them partidularly favor ing the Lennepin Canal—was held at the Grand Pacific yesterday morning, Among those present were J, M.

He referred to n meeting held in Rock Island in ist for the: purpose ot ex- tending the Hfinois & Miehigan Canal from Hennepin ‘to that point, a dis- tance of sixty-five’ nilles, ‘The «route had been surveyed by private par- tles and by tha United States, and the estimated cost nf the improvement was $4,000,000 or $5,000,000, the fatter being the highest figure, Some present were mora particularly interested in this enterprise, be- + cause they Hved along the route, bul they saw very clearly thatthe transportation ques- tlon was oncof such magnitude, and so many people were Interested fn it, that it was hue possible to confine themselves ton loval ime yovement. ‘Lhe Northwest was an oxten- slvennd very fertile territory. Its popula- flon ancl business were sncrensing rapldly, and its trade in the fnture would be hnmense.

The country was now prosperous; there was plenty of money; the “ops were good and bringing good prices, ont it seemed to him that the Government couldn*t spend money more advantageously end benefit the people more than by improv. ing the water-ways. Unily was essential. It would be'futile for Chicago to undertake by herself to enlarge the Hinols & Michigan Canal; useless for the people on the Mitiuols | River to domand Its - im- provement; and wnayalling for those luterested: in the Henneplu Canal to pitsh it with thelr Influence, AN must put thelr heats together. Some people had at heart the improvement of the Upper and Lower Mississippi, aud others wanted n eanal from Green Bay to that river, ‘There should bo no selfishness, as the question was a broad one, Differences between the North aud South could be adjusted by the appropriation of money for the finprovement of Southern divers, ‘The whole people would be bene filted by HR. He didn’t propose to antagonize rullroads, Improving wnter-eourses not un blow at them; on the contrary, it would henelit them. ‘Chg construction of the Heanepin Canal would’ extend the Stato system 700 mifles,—f00 above Rock Island on the Misslssippl, and 200 below. ‘The trade of that sectlon could never be secured fo Chiengo if the barges hind to ga down, to the mouth of the UHnols and come up that wity : Un motion of Mr. Allen, Mayor Harrlson was called io the chal, Mr, Harrison sald he was as deeply Inter. ested In the imutter as any one, and then went on to tell what he hud done to have the Ile nos & Michigan Canal deepened and widened, sayhyg that that [improvement was Nationa! i character, notonly commerelally, butas a war measure, He believed Congress would pass a bill converting It into aship canal. No better nse could be fotnd for the 0,000 or $40,000, of surplus rev- than expending It for internal huprovements. And now was the tine to do ft, beeause money was plenty and cheap.

He referred to the tant systems of France and Gere Inany, and said the people there hadn't come to the conclusion that railronds alone enild carry freight. Ilesaw no renson-‘for the opposition of the raflrouds, ‘he canal could carry bulky freight, and the rallrends the lignt freight.” Ie ballaved both political dartles would favor the measure.
