OTTAWA, Canada, May 5.-In the

kenZie gave an explanation as to the
progress made in the Lake Superior
region and in respect to the Western
Section. He explained that the great
est difficulties were presented by the
Cascade Range of mountains. In no
place had more favorable route been
found than one with grade of $50 feet
to the mile for an uninterrupted slope
of $50 miles without level reaches. He
went on to explain the steps taken in
organizing surveying parties to ascer-
tain the best routes, so as to guard
against any possible failure of their
international railway. He showed
how ineXpedient it was to commence
the work without the fullest informa-
ton.

Luttrell introduced a bill to appro-
pirate ten thousand dollars for the re-
lief of the widow of Peace Commits
sioner Thomas, killed by the Modocs.
The bill reported by Senator Kelly
to-day provides that the Government
shall guarantee to pay five per cent
interest on the bonds of the Oregon
Company, to the extent of $4,000 per
mile for ten years, for a distance
not exceeding three hundred miles,
in return for which the company
are to transport the United States
mails, Army and Indian supplies, etc,
forever free. The Committees writ
ten report, accompanying the bill,
shows that the Mail and Army SER
vice. which this road would directly
supersede, costs the Government
S3l1,714 per annum, and the bonds
would amount to S2S0,000 per year
for ten years, and that Government
would in twenty years thus save by
the construction Of this road some four
million dollars. The report therefore
argues that from the vast benefits of a
general nature to the country at large,
the passage of this bill would result in
direct pecuniary advantage to the
Federal Government.
