The fool-hardy feat of Hugh
Donahne, OF Springfield, Mass,
who walked d1,100 miles in
100 consecutive hours will
probably result fatally to him. he
was In splendid health when he
began bis task, but after the FIRST
week his physical powers began
to be affected- Every week told
against him, and be would hardly
be taken for the same nam His
face is thin, his eyes sunkeu, and
he looks total wreck. One pc
ouliar feature is that he com
menoed the feat with hair perfect
ly black, and it is now as gray as a
badger, He walked 1000 miles
in 1000 hours at Springfield last
summer, but his last task took
four days longer He sometimes
fell down insensible while on the
course, He walked a mile every
hour, which on an average took
him fifteen minutes. He then
slept for forty minutes when he
was awakened to resume his task.

Since our last issue,in which we
animadverted to some extent upon
the Questionable features of af-
fairs in Alaska, and particularly
the obnoxious order relating to
qualifications for traders, etc., we
have received a copy ofa counter
order. To give our readers, how
ever, full understanding of the
subject, we reproduce the section
of the order referred to by us,
followed by that for its saspen
sion: ii-H ns3 lam Yaa II .aI7c3q
Sec. 8. All persons desiring to
trade in Alaska Territory will at
once make application to the un-
dersigned for a license, stating the
name and residence, and the par
ticular locality at which they wish
to transact business. The appli-
cation must be accompanied BY a
bond for the penal sum Of ave
thousand dollars, duly executed
by the applicant as principal, and
two sureties. If not known to
the undersigned, the sureties must
be approved and vouched foriby
the United States District Judge,
or the United States District At
torney for the District in which he
resides. The condition Of the
bond must be that the principal
viii faithfully observe all laws and
regulations made for the govern
meDt of trade and intercourse
with the Indians ID Alaska, and IN
no respect violate the same. This
bond win be renewed every year..
II the applicant is q naturslizea
citizen, be will present bis natural
ization papers with bis application.
Unnaturalized foreigners cannot
procure license.
a1iocoUNrER.oRDER q Ht
from Headquarters Department
Of the CoIumbia, July 2sth:
To the Commanding Officer at
Sitka, Alaska-The Departments
Commander directs you to sns-
pend the operation of the third
section Of your order so far as it
to the bond IN the penal
sum Of five thousand dollars with
TO existing traders IN
cluding unnaturalized foreigners.
As these traders have gone to
Alaska without understanding that
this law applied to them, nd have
already invested their means, many
Of them being unable to furnish
the requisite bonds, it is believed
that the Government may, in
equity, regard this law, now for
the FIRST time put into actual exc
eution, in the nature Of an ex post
facto law, aud may relieve exist
ing traders from its execution so
long as in other respects they con-
form to the letter and the spirit Of
the laws affecting them.

After the message WAS disposed of. the

the General should be offered speedy
opportunity of explaining his alleged
connection with the whisky ring.
In regard to the premature publica-

THE sUEz CANAL.
revenue.

Some years ago III. Lessups. dis
tinguishsd French engineer. conceived
the idea of building ship canal
across the Isthmus of Suez. q strip of
sandy desert in the north of Egypt
which separates the Mediterranean and
Rod seas. Tie objec. was to shorten
the route from Europe to Eastern Asia
and the islands in the Indian ocean,
which could only be reached By cir
euitous voyage around the Cape of
Good Hope in Southern Africa. Tie
project was considered impracticabls
by many eminent engineers who be-
lieved that the shifting sands on the
Isthmus would preclude the possibility
of keeping the canal open for paviga-
ton. Nothing dauptec, however.
Lessups persevered; the Suez Canal
Company was organized. the work
went or. the canal was completed. and
o new and short road for commerce
opened to Chiua. Japan and India.
The Khedive of Egypt took lively in
terest in the great enterprise. aud be-
came the owner of Sl77. 900 shares of
its capital stock. This interest he has
just sold to England, to whom be was
heavily indebted Tor money advarced
on bonds of the Egyptian Government.
This purchase gives England foot
hold in Egypt aud may ultimately re-
suit in its becoming the sole owner Of
the canal and acquiring the territory ad-
joining it. The Khedive's interest was
first offered to France, but because Of
obstacles interposed By the Bank OF
France in money matters the idea OF
purchasing it was abandoned by the
Government. 1t is rnmored that Russia
and Turkey will dispute the sale of
Egypt's interest in tie canal to Eng
land and that complications may arise
out of the question which viii result IN
war between Russia and Turkey on one
side and England on the other. Egypt
is dependency of Turkey, aud Russia.
which is jealous of England's power in
Asia, may join Turkey in dispuiing the
kheiivs's authority 70 dispose of
Egypt's interest in the canal. which has
now become tie highway from Europe
to Asia. 1t is possible that the Car and
the Sultan. though hereditary enemies,
will maze common canse against Great
Britain, and that the C0ssack and Mus
selman may Be auayed side BY side
against the Briton. A dispatch from
London, which appeared in these col
u ms yesterday, indicates that the East
ern question is not yet solved, aud taat
. conf~renceo of the Great Powers would
be held to prevent, if possible, It's solu-
ton by the sword.
