As many Of our readers know, there is
q canal from Cumberland, Md, to the
Potomac river at Georgetown, in the Dis.
trict Of Columbia. It Is ono of the Oldest
public works in the country, the charter
for it having been granted as for back as
1899. Originally 1t was the intention to
build 1t from tide water, at Georgetown,
to Pittsburgh on the Ohio river, and
therefore 1t was called the Chesapeake s.
Ohio canal. The United States Govern
ment subscribed million Of dollars to the
building oft, and the City Of Washington
another million, but the great portion Of
the funds were furnished by the State Of
Maryland. The distance from Cumber-
land to Georgetown Is 1s41 miles, and the
cost OF the canal between these points
was $11.OOO,OOO.
The tonnage Of the canal Is about
100000 tons, consisting largely Of coal
from the Cumberland basin. The trade
isoi course entirely local, the canal never
having been carried through to Pitts.

were deemed entirely practicable, and by
one Of which the distance 10 Pittsburgh
Is only about 157 miles. Inasmuch aa

letter to President Watson, that he Is
convinced o! the correctness of Dunan's
statement as TO the condition of the ac-
counts Of the company, and that no himself
strenuously opposed the alterations at the
time they were made, therefore as he can.
not act contrary to his convictions he has
rendered his resignation. President Wat

saying in his letter 10 Hunichen, that no
request has been made to him for any
service which could possibly conflict with
any proper and just conviction of duty.
That he was simply asked to make cor.
rect abstract and statement from the
books in his keeping, as they exist, which
he cannot or will not do.

Of Directors yesterday to consider the at-

accountant showed that the amount
loaned BY the bank to tho late President
was as stated by him, and that collaterals
deposited, unless under forced sale, are
sufficient to cover the sum loaned. The
friends Of Sauer think he was treated
with unnecessary haste and harshness by
