WASHINGTON.
Canal from tho Aslanticu,o the Mis.i..ip

~ II = :. ~ pi.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-In reply to a delega-
tioa from Georgia, urging the construction of
an inter-oceanic canal connecting the Mississip-
pi river with the Atlantic, the President to-day
said that he saw a map of the route yesterday
and it looked to HIM eminently practical, and
he thought it very important, in view of the
fact that the present commercial routes are in
adequate to the growing needs of commerce.
and We're it not for the lateness of the session
he would make it subject of special commu-
nication to Congress; but he suggested that
perhaps the better way would be first to inter-
est the friends of the measure in Congress in
the work and obtain an introduction and refer
ence of the bill as preliminary to the subsequent
action of the Executive. He did not know
whether Congress would be disposed to guaran-
tee the bonds of the company or would prefer
to give direct subsidy in public lands. He
had not heard any expression of opinion among
the members, but they would see its importance
and he thought that by.a presentation of the
case before the two Houses there would be
strong disposition manifested to carry the en-
terprise through. He regarded it of national
Importance and deserving the national aid.
