The PIor,dla ship Canal.

WASHINGTON, July 26-Gov. Drew and
Senator Jones, OF Flerida, are here, and were
to-day In consultation with Gen. Martin Mo
MahoD, Of New York, the representative of
the company OF capitalists who propose
building a ship canal across the State Ofs
Florida, from the st. Johns to the Swanee
river, thus shortening the distance six hum
dred miles for vessels sailing from New York
to New Orleans. Gtn. Mcmahon desired that
an extra session of the Legisl latHre be called
at once, In order that q charter might be
secured. This Coy. Drew Was willing to do,
provided the company. formed to build the
y carry out their project. Gen. Mcmahon
readily aesented to give such q bond but In
the charter he proposed for adoption there
was clause providing that the. company
should be free from taxation. This exemp-
tion, Gov. Drew said, the Legislature OF
Florida could not grant, as 1t is prohibited by
the constitution. So the matter is al sn end
for the present, or until the members o. the
company, who are European capitalists, can
be heard from on the subject.
