Demand Deep Water.

Topeka, Kan., Oct. 3.—The deep-wa-ter conference yesterday was organized with Senator Vest of Missouri as permanent chairman. Committee on resolutions was appointed from fifteen interested states. The burden of the talk was for cheaper rail rates to the gulf,and, by the aid of deep-water harbors, a closer relation with South American commerce. The establishment of the “committee on utilization” means that the convention was willing to delegate to those representatives full power to “act.” If this committee deems it proper it will decide on an in-ter-American or any other exposition, and the delegates of this convention will be bound to stand by the scheme.
