THE proposed tunnel under the Eng

much greater difficulty than the Suez
canal, which has made the name OF Fer
dinand de Lcsseps famsus The sound
ings last fall, one thousand five hundred
and twenty-five in number, revealed the
fact that iour.flths of the way across Il
thick stratum of gray chalk exists, pre-
sentng a favorable condition for. r.exca-
waiting purposes, but it will require the
greater portion of the present year to
complete the preliminary investigations.
VI. Lavelly, the French engineer, who
made Il report to the French directors,
indulges in the assertion that when the
tunnel is completed, one million trav.
elers will annually pass through it, and
the revenue from that source alone will
amount TO two millions of dollars. The
revenue from freights by ry will be
much larger. 1t may be- said o

known as the /" Ebcnczers" - a quiet,

about 1886 they moved to Iowa. All
property is held in common by them, but
each family has its separate dwelling.
They appear to have no vices, commit no

Intelligence has been received at Bom
bay that the plague has appeared on the
banks of the Euphratcs.
Baron Radich, on the part OF Austria,
has informed the IIcncgovinian insurgents
that their conditions ~cre nadmiSSahlc; that
Austria would maintain complete neutral
ity; strictly guard the frontier and cease to
relieve refugees at the end of March.
The Hcrzcgovinians answer the Turk
ish bulletins by battles and have plaStcrcd
the proclamation Of proposed reforms all
over with deaths heads. The AuStrians' cry
of peace was responded to by n sanguinary
engagement in which 500 Turks were killed.
This is the insurgents way of reforming the
government and punctuating the policy with
which the great powers are settling the east
ern question. Give the people chance and
they will give the sick man II funeral that
will leave no possibility for resurrection.
The chief cause Of the present insur-
rcction of the lIerzegovinians against Turkey
is, at bottom, the impossibiIity of obtaining
Justice for Christians in Mohammcdan courts,
50 that it is useless for the former to become
legal proprierors of land. The Turks and
Slavonic M0hammedans hate and desplsc
Christians, and generally ho'd that they have
no rights that true believers are bound tC
respect. They may legally acquire landed
property, and may legally testify in court
but the Turks pay no attention to rights ol
oaths, and do with them as they choose. The
Judges are, without exception, vcnal to the
last degree. The great reason why the terms
OF the Andrassy note are not accepted by the
insurgents is that they know the sultan can
not enforce them even if he is 50 inclined
The bcys do not believe that iirmans OF lib
eral import are seriously intended, and pay
no heed whatever TO carrying them ont.
