orpun aud Pn.rdc Inland Harbor Company Granted a Franchine--The DetRiln. That there will be another port of Texas now likely to become one of the ies of the not distant future. A project hat was set on foot over fourteen years igo, when the Corpus Christ! Padre Isl- md Harbor Company was organized, with ion. John "Wlllett as president, appears low to be certain of completion. A bill was introduced In Congress and was qppvoved Feb.

9, 1S81, granting the above nanied company authority construct a reakwater, quay, docks and viaduct at a toint on the Gulf Coast some sixty miles lorth of Brownsville, Nothing was done at he time, it has been stated, because of unfavorable railroad connections, but tho of the men behind the project shown from the fact that the act was Ltnended March 3, ISM, granting tho com- an extension of two years' time. Still inthinp was done, and another amendment was made authorizing nnd empowering the ompany to commence the construction nnd Complete the project within years from 0, iMy. provided the work was commenced with'-n two years from a date, correspondence 'that was carried on ictwoi-n tho promoters and the Detriment, carbon copies of which are on He in the local Government ofllcep, it was oar nod yesterday that work haw already vcn commenced. J. T.

vice, president nnd general irmnaprr nf the company, tut oil in a letter to William I I Toft, Sfr- of War. that he was granted tlm Jan. 1004, that he had nenccd and that ho expected to omple.tc his contract by Feb. 9. 1908.

I'Ymn the above referred it is learned, the location for the harbor vas derinitely decided upon in January, 03, a a consultation among the riii'fcr- 'iit engineers Interested in thn iolnt chosen beinp sixty miles north of Jrownsvllle, on tho Padro Island, in roil County. The chosen nilo has been named Port'Wlllett. Tho project is described briefly as folmvs: The, contract Is for the construction if a seawall or feet IOIIR. 'ho wall will be foet from iho shoro Inc of Padro Island. The upper portion of he.

wall will extend flviy feet ntyvo mean ftw title. Between iho wall and tho main horo the. contracts call for the confltnir- ion of a quay In twenty-eight fret of water. Tho of thin nuny will con- l.it of an outer concrete- beginning at hi? hot lorn of tlin flulf nnd nxtfmdlnp uteon fettf above mean low llde. Tho i if ihe quay will be from 200 to WO foci, tho of Itr, Inner material being and, Inose, rork anil rubble.

KxtoniHiig nut mm ihe juav toward the pen wait thort! nrn bo tliven HrtckH, nlxlv foot In width rt feet hi loiiRlh. Tito, floor of therm tlnekn bo t-nvontceii feet above mean low UUc. The tide in the Gulf atUhis point has an average rtefi and fall of from eight to eighteen inches.This quay will be connected with the Gulf beach by an ordinary railway pile pier or trestle, carried on pile bents placed fourteen feot apurt. The trestle will be designed to carry a modern standard-gauge railway employing ninety-pound steel stringers being calculated to suatnii the weight of tho heaviest modern ctr.r.d- ard-gaug-e engine. The docks of harbor will have a permanent depth of thirty- two feet of water.

The seawall is to be miilt In forty feet of water. The estimated cost of the undertaking could not be gotten, but it ts stated that the expenditure- will far exceed that of any other project of Its nature- ever undertaken In tho Gulf waters. From tho meager details that are avail- ablo It seems that the project would have been completed years ago had it not been for the fact that there were no mainland railway connections- With the advent ol railroads into that Immediate territory.this barrier has been removed, and with actpa: construction commenced it now Eeems thai Texas may some day have another deep water port which will open the Southwest to direct water connections. FRDERAIi BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS. Paving- of Back of Poitofflce to Beifiu Soon.

It was learned yesterday at the Federal building that work will be started in the near future, this week, perhaps, in the paving of the alley just back of the post- office. The contract for the work was let last January to Heffron who are doing the street paving, but the work was postponed for more favorable climatic conditions, it being said that a freezing temperature is greatly Injurious to concrete when It Is being placed. Owing to the fact that tho Federal Government will not improve only one-half of the alley will receive the pavement, that side adjacent to the ppstoffice. The need for the pavement is due to the fact that on that side of the building all of ihe mail hacks and carts come and receive or deposit their mail as the case may be. A contract has also been let for widening and making of even height thn northeast steps entering upon the paved walk around the building.

The paving of the streets adjoining, with the fact that there is considerable passing that way, makes needful these improvements. AMUSEMENTS, LlUo Lord Lochinvar, White "Whittle sey 1ms out of the West and In the realm of histrionics he is capturing, his audiences the same as the bold Lord did in tho field of love. There'Is no resisting the admiration that Is elicited, for the dashing, graceful and handsome Whittlesey, who has made such a success on Pacific slope who is tints far without renown in the-East and until his present advent was little known in the South. This is because, however, of the fact that in the theatrical world ho has had but little, if any, experience behind the footlights In the metropolis or sister cities. But when he does there is no gainsaying the prediction that he will meet with favorable criticism.

This la because "Whittlesey is so natural in his portrayal of characters essayed. And they are all of human interest, too, if this newspaper term may be applied in the theatrical world. His plays deal with events in which emotions of the heart are" awakened. In the way of comparison, ho may be likened to the popular Tim Murphy. Sunday night, for Instance, there was presented "The Soldier of Fortune," which was mentioned In yesterday's News.

As stated In criticism referred to: "He is well suited to a romantic role. In the love scenes he la tender, natural and winning." The same was true last night. "Heartsease" is a pretty little romantic comedy with the scene laid in the Eighteenth Century, when men were ever ready, yea eager, to take up the sword in vindication of honor for the hope of winning tho love of my lady fair. Not only is It a good portrayal of conditions and customs of the time, but there is cleverly interwoven such an amount of dramatic incident as to give It tone and furnish opportunity for the display of talent. And that opportunity is taken advantage of not by Mr.

Whittlesey alone, but by other members' of the cast as well. As Eric Temple, the young composer, Mr. Whittlesey most pleasing. Magnetic, easy, graceful and handsome to a degree, he JK altogether such a character as ono would choose lor a hero. His voice is soft and pleasing and his enunciation good, but there is that about him that speaks more eloquently than voice.

That is the language of emotion, when without uttering a single syllable, he speaks volumes, of ambitions, hopes, joy and love, of disappointment, wounded pride, dejection, despair. The manner in which the passions of the heart and soul were portrayed was that of an artist of cultivated talent. It Is unfortunate that there was not a larger attendance last night to enjoy the production. This was probably accounted for, however, because of counter attractions. No accessory was lacking to add to tho pleasure of the evening.

As a the performance, there was good vocal and instrumental music, the scenery was all that was necessary and the costumes breathed tho fragrance of the Eighteenth Century in their ouaintnoss and richness. There is no adverse criticism to offer respecting tiny of tho members of the cast. All read their lines the full inspiration of the moment. The characters: Lord Neville Mr. Harry D.

THE GALVESTON IN NORFOLK New Protected Cruiser Limped Into Port With Starboard Engine Disabled--Some Time Needed for Repairs--Definite Information Expected From Ship's Officers or Navy Department Today-fl SPECIAL TO Tan NEWS.

Norfolk, March maMen cruise of the new protected cruiser Galveston, which sailed from this navy yard last, weok, wan not a success. The Galveston limped Into port this morning under one engine and slowly and carefully made her way to her old berth at the. navy yard, where she will' In all probability remain for some, weeks to come. The unexpected return of the warship, which was going to Culebra and thence to Galveston in order that the citizens of her name city might have an opportunity 1 of seeing her, was due to the breaking down of her starboard engine. The details of tho accident are not forthcoming 1 but it is understood that the repairs necessary thereby will take considerable time.

The Galveston encountered good weather between the Virginia. Capes and the Gulf Stream, which she was just entering at tho time the, accident occurred. She was then some 250 miles at nnd was 'proceeding at regular cruising speed. The accident was wholly unexpected, hut, owing to the promptness of the engine force in shutting down the broken engine, nobody was hurt, and save for the broken machinery no damage was done to the ship itself, which is regarded as remarkable, for the breaking of a rapidly moving engine Is an accident usually fraught with, peril to all nn board. A quick examination of the damaged machinery showed 1 that it would bo impossible for the vessel to continue on her voyage without immediate and extensive repairs.

Capt, Cuther thereupon deter- mined to return to the navy yard (n this city. The starboa rd engine was disconnected and the vessel was turned about and headed for this port with only her port eng ine working. She made slow headway ut succeeded in getting Into port wlthou furthen serious mishap: A survey will be held upon her as soon as possible and the work of repair wIH start an soon as the report of the survey board is in. The above news of tho disabling of the cruiser Galveaton is supplementary to the Information published in The News of day, and was received last night with much regret- It is hoped the repairs may be made in time to permit the ship's getting in hero in time to participate in the attractions to be had during tho Northern Settlers' Congress, but it was stated last night by several gentlemen associated with the presentation of the sliver service to the ship, that if she was crippled and should be repaired in time to reach Galveston in June and attract as a part of the first annual regatta, the effect would be the same and perhaps better. The latter statement Is because of the.

fact that the Northern Settlers' Congress is expected to fill the city to overflowing with guests, and. If divided there will be better-opportunity to entertain tho ship and her crew 'of officers anc men. Moro deflnitn information is expected from tbe ship's officers or thn Navy Department during today. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OP SETTLERS 1 CON GROSS "WENT TO HOUSTON YESTERDAY. THE RATES WERE MADE SATISFACTORY AND -WILL PREVAIL FIRST TWO DATS OF MEETING.

IONS ISSUED Being Sent All Over TJnitetf Stnten as Fast us Conference Today. As stated in The News of Monday there on Sunday morning a meeting of the executive committeB of the Northern Congress and of the representative of the Southern Pacific Company at the rooms of the Business League, and also that that committee would go to Houston yesterday morning for a conference with General Passenger Agent Anderson "with regard to the dates upon which the short time tickets would be good for the congress. The contention of the local committee was that the-tickctn should be made Rood for Friday and Saturday, and not for the following days, as was named by the representative of Col. Anderson, and that every ticket should have a limit of not less than two days of the congress. The committee desired to settle this matter, and accordingly the trip was yesterday morning made to Houston with the follow- gentlemen in the party: Messrs.

H. S. Cooper, R. T. Cohen.

Fred Schneider, O. Nobbe, C. II. Kitchen and a News reporter. After an hour's conference with Col.

Anderson the determination was reached that the rate for the short term ticket would be fixed at Friday and Saturday of the dates of the and that everything was running smoothly. The committee will meet Col. Anderson this afternoon for a definite arrangement of the program of the meetings of the congress and this Information then be given out to the press for publication. An hour spent in the office of Secretary C. G.

Roussel-of the land and immigration department would convince the-most skeptical of the which are making for the success'of the congress. Mr. Roussel has a- score of stenographers, clerks and other employes busy jihoul ten hours each day in sending on! literature convcrnlm the congress, and of all this there is a penny's worth which is l-arsed to the city of Galveston. Jn his office yesterday morning there was seen at least a half ton of printed matter ready for the expressman and the postman, and this did not represent more than a bait day's work. There is a tremendous amount of matter going out of Houston each day which advertises Gatveston and is to the fntespsts of the congress.

"Way up from farthest Maine we get tho gladsome news a many of tho Pine Tree Slate citizens will attend our Northern Settlers' Congress at Galveston next month," said Mr. "We are truly surprised ns well cs pleased to note the success of our plans. At first we thought that if assurances for a crowd of 1,000 should IMS guaranteed, we would be doing well; but our mail advices up to date Insure an attendance of 10,000 people, representing not only every State and Territory in tbe Union, but delegates from Canada. Mexico and Central America- We have positive assur- inccs thnt the Governors of seven great States will be present, each official accoin- lanled by his personal staff. Think of hat as a drawing card.

That's more Chief Executives than attended the Inauguration if Roosftvolt. Then we have not yet rc- ceivrd replies to all our Invitations to tho other Governors and there may he. rminy more to add to our list nf those who will be M-fiKont. These Chief Executives will bo on he program for speeches during the con- ventinn. Think what a treat irmt will be-in event of a life time.

Personally I think the city can. but in any event our road will run special trains from here to the Island City and return daily, and if there should chance to be an overflow, they could get accommodations in Houston." The earnestness with "which the work is being carried on at the emigration department of the Southern Pacific, is of itself convincing that grrcat things are being sought for. Mailing and engrossing clerks by tho scoro are scaling and sending to the- furthermosL limits of the country printed matter designed to catch the most sceptical. Tho officials are earnest in their purpose, and propose to make the Northern Settlers' Congress ono of the greatest events in the history of the State. Col.

T. J. Anderson, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, is the father of the scheme to bring thousands of people into the State, and many thousands -more in wealth, while Mr. Roussel is carrying his chiefs into execution. In the meeting at Col.

Anderson's office 5'esterday morning there were present Messrs. Cooper, Kitchcll, Cohen, Schneider, Nobbe, Anderson, Roussel, Hellen, Attwater and a News reporter. The members of the committee returned to Galveston at 12:30 o'clock and will meet again, as stated above, sometime this afternoon to confer with Col. Anderson as to tho final arrangements for the program. Mr.

George S. Bruce, the secretary of the advertising department, stated that the programs of the congress would be the art advertising booklet Issued for Galveston. Thero will bo about sixteen or eighteen pages of beautiful half tone portraits of views In the city, about as many pages as descriptive matter concerning Qalveston, and to this will be added the daily program of the congress. Secretary Gardner of the Business League has arranged for and ordered tho delegates 'badges. They are to be done on white satin ribbon.

Upon each will be the American and tho Texas flags, crossed, which signifies the meeting of the United States and Texas upon mutual ground. The worfiiss upon these badges will be descriptive of the meeting, and will mean much in the simple announcement that it is the meeting of Texas and all of the interests represented in the great State. The badges for the members of the reception committee will be red with some suitable lettering done in whatever color as is best suited to that color. SPECIAL TO THE NEWS. Houston, Te.x.j isiarc.h The following gentlemen from Galveston, constituting a committee from that city In the interest of the Northern Settlers' Convention, came to Houston this morning and conferred with G.

WATER SUPPLY ON BEACH. Ahont 1.80O Feet of Pipe Been Lnitl. City Engineer Wellii Compiling: Dntn, Superintendent A. S. Drowry of the Waterworks and Sewerage, Department reports that, at the request of the grade-raising contractors.

Messrs. Goedhart Bates, he has removed feet of S-inch pipe on Twenty-Second street. Kt feet of S-inch pipe on Twenty-Fifth street anil S56 feet of S-inch pipo on Twenty-Ninth street, also 710 feet of fi-inch pipe on Avenue between Thirty-first and Thirty-Second streets. This work was necessary owing to the construction of the grade-raising canal. In order to furnish the people with water on tho south side of the, caiifil, between Twenty- Second and Twenty-Third streets, it was necessary to lay a G-inch main to connect with the main on Thirty-Third street and ajid running south about and blocks to the alloy between Avenues and 1 or about 400 feet, and Ihence east to Thirty-First street, and thence north to again connect with the Avenue main.

There were two tions necessary for this work. Practically speaking, thsro were about 1,800 feet of pipe laid. This In about all that Is to bfi done In that area, i the grade-raising operations are completed, ami the pipe is laid temporarily will he removed hy boing taking up the grade raising is completed.

HEW TDHK CfTT, MEETING THE GRADES QUESTION ARISES AS TO HOW CITY AND COUNTY GHADES WILL JOIN.

PLITHnT VIS AGREED UPON County Com mission era Never Made Kliinl Decision--Galvcafon KetnrnB to Work. "Since the filling' has been practically completed south of the canal from the foot of Tremont street east to Twenty-First street and the county an3 city filling joins," said Secretary E. K. Cheesborough of the Gr6.de Raising Hoard yesterday, "the question has arisen as to what provision has been made for gradual slopes. As it now stands the county filling breaks off abruptly, "there being a drop of about six feet to the city grade.

As a matter of fact no provision has yet been made. The contract does not provide for the additional material that be required to mafce the city filling 1 meet the county filling on a gradual slope, and hence If nothing is done the driveway on the county right of way in the 13aFt End will ho inaccessihlc on account of the steep hank. In the West End, where the city grade is more nearly that of the county, this trouble would not be felt so keenly. "While nothing definite has been done in the matter the question has come up and Lhe plan of work decided upon. It was County Surveyor Luttrell who first brought the matter up.

He and H. T. Wilson, en- with the Grade Raising Board, had a conference last fall and at that time the atter suggested a plan that was agreed upon. The plan was that the city should meet the county slope at twelve feet east of fCineteenth street, where the difference in the two grades that the county should meet the city slope at front 12 to 33.76 feet west of Nineteenth street to the end of the district to be filled. The additional amount of filling necessary was estimated at 8,000 cubic yards for the city and cubic yards for tbe county.

"At a meeting of the-County Commis- "ioners held Sept. 13, 1904, the matter was brought up nnd thoroughly discussed. Commissioner Wolston, under whose department the matter cajne, asked that action deferred i he could investigate. Since then nothing has been done toward a settlement of the matter. There has, of up to the present time been no of making arrangements for the meeting oi' lie two jirndes.

Nothing can be done in he feast End until the grade raising CO'M- have completed -the filling of the city and have commenced filling In the canal east of Twenty-First street. Nearly all of the work up to now has been con- ined to the cast side of that street. It will, lowever. soon be necessary, to malic some so that the contractors can place ugh additional material north of the county right of way to meet the needs jrought about by the adoption of the plan mentioned. "As will be seen from the figures, the city vill have the greater share of the work to From Nineteenth slreet.east of Avenue will be necessary to join the county fill tt a uniform height of twelve feet.

West of Nineteenth street, which county is 'to ook after, the difference In the grade levels tt the city and county lessen as the west- limits are approached. At the extreme west end of the district to be filled the dif- erence will be less than four feet. The grado increases one foot in every J.SOO feet joing south and this accounts for the dff- in levels at different points along ho county right of way. Hence- while ounty will bavo a longer distance to meet he city grade they will not have to Dlace amount nf additional material Tho George Senly wn.7 taken hnrk to a mint between 'Fifteenth nnd Sixteenth in the canal Sunday and yesterday taking out the second put, clis- on Avenue MVfc. between Fifteenth Sixteenth stroets.
