With the installation of the officers who will direct the destinies of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Con gress for the ensuing year, the dele gates today began the final delibera tions devoting most of the time to the consideration of the resolutions. The report of the committee on reso lutions was passed by Judge E. F. Harris, of Texas, and read by W. O. Hart, of Louisiana. The committee on .resolutions ra nfilrm the resolutions passed by form er sessions of the congress in regard to the Improvement of the waterways and harbors of the entire country. The committee recommended to the membeis that the movement should more especially be represented by the National Rivers' and Harbors' congress and adopted as "ours" its slogan, and that there should be an nual appropriation of at least $50, 000,000 to be expended in the furth erance of this pressing and indispens able work. The report strongly approves the "progressive, statesmanlike and pa triotic utterances and actions of the president of the United States in re gard to these great measures," and favors a department of public works and so far as requisite an increase in the public debt to maintain the de sired Improvements. The resolu tions point out the necessity of the maintenance of the big docks at Bre merton and Mare Island to caro for the battleship fleet, together with the needed deep channels to provide for the deepest draught vessels of the navy.

The resolutions endorse the prin ciples of reciprocity between coun tries and urge the arrangement of the tariff schedules on a truly reci procal basis consistent with the maintaining of Industries In this country. On the subject of grazing the reso lutions, say, "We recommend to the congress of the United States the enactment of laws which shall rea sonably provide for regulating the use of public grazing upon public lands In the United States with a view to a just, reasonable appor tionment among the users of public lands so as to stimulate and encour age the Improvement of grazing, and for providing water and other im provements, subject always to the right of the homesteader and other acquisition to the title of tho lands under tho land laws of the United States, and that the rental charged for the grazing upon such lands be made as low as the administration - LACK OF EXERCISE TO PARALYZE HARRIMAN. 4 NEW YORK, Oct. 10.
