The Loss Of the City Of washing ton
The Officers and Grew CHARGED with
Criminal Carelessness.
NEW YORK, July 1O.-The statement
of passenger on the steamer City of
Washington, charges that the loss of the
ship is due to the criminal carelessness of
the officers and crew, and that they Just
barely escaped being engulfed. He says !:
"The lead was never hove once, and no
one had any idea where the ship was. We
had on board captain, as passenger, who
had crossed the ocean scores of times. He
frequently warned the chief officer that he
was running too far northward, and adj
vised him to run down hundred miles or
so to the southwark to get the sun and see
where they were. His advice was rudely
declined. The second officer, / believe,
concided in this view."

QUACKERY,

ANOTHER GREAT RAiLHoAp.-N. Lesssps,
who constructed the Suez Canal, proposes to
build railroad from Orcnburg, Russia, to Pesh.
awur, India, q distance of2500 miles. BY con-
meeting Railways with this route frelghtpassen-
gers or troops could be forwarded from Calais
to Calcutta, through Warsaw and Moscow,
without breaking the gauge. The entire line,
two.thirds Of which has been finished, will be
1900 miles In length. For the unbuilt portion,
NJ. Lesseps asks $760 600 from the Government
OF Russia 10 pay for preliminary work. If 1t
should be built the railroad win play an impor-
tant part in any complications arising between
England and Russia, Is the latter nation could
make q rapid descent, without much fear Of In
terruption, upon the British possessions In In
dia and attack England at one OF her most val
ued but least defsnsible points. Hence thu
project is extensively discussed by the Enslsl
press. =
