New York. June 2S.-Capt. Eads,
the well known engineer, in care
fully considered article, gives his views
on the ship canal across Panama in the
Tribune to-day, and offers his plan of a
ship railroad as substitute. He doesn't
uerely conteut himself with outlining
the plan, but marks out the details 80
that the reader can judge for himself Of
its practicability. He would take the
vessels out of the water by the well
known dry dock methods or by an
original system of sunken platform
and cradle, raised by hydraulic ma
chinery, transport them across the
isthmus, with cargoes unbroken, on a
ten rail track, and lower them into the
sea on the other side to continue their
voyages. The canal would cost at least
S140, 900. The railroad could be
constructed for $50, 900, 900. The canal
would take twenty-five years to build;
the railroad would be finished in five
years, and the benefit derived by this
generation. One could not be made to
pay the interest on the enormous in
vestment it would require; the other
would be profitable enterprise. One
would require the assistance of
governments, which would thus get
hold upon the isthmus; the other
could be built as commercial under
taking

MONROE DOCTRINE REDIvIvUs
He Wants No Canals Under Foreign
Protection-A New Scheme
A Ship Railroad-Rail-
road Accident.
Burnside's Platform .

New York, June 28.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent interviewed
Gen. Burnside. Burnside said it is the
duty Of our government to give Europe
timely warning that it will never allow
a canal to be built and occupied by
foreign powers. The time had come
for us to express ourselves in plain lam
guage. Silence would give consent and
interference after the work had begun
might place this government in an
awkward position. Gen. Burnside
says he has always believed in the Mon
roe doctrine, that foreign powers must
keep their hands off of our territory.
He believed in that policy In the fullest
sense of the term. The action of
France in regard to Macmillan during
our late war, when we were almost
helpless, was significant. Ever since
Ihen," said Burnside, ''I have been
more and more confirmed as to the wis.,
dom OF the Monroe doctrine.n He did
not favor any particular canal. He
was not identified with any company
or any scheme connected with any
route across the isthmus, nor was he
opposed to the canal, as were some peo-
pie, especially certain railroad inter-
ests. Nor was he offended by the
treatment shown our United States
commissioners when abroad. But he
believed that no ship canal across the
itnhmus should be built unless under
the auspices of the United States gov
ernment. "This government he
continued ''should ut all times and
under all circumstances, in peace and
in war, have control of any canal that
may be built, no matter who may own
it or who may have built it.
Such an enterprise should never be al
lowed TO be used to the detriment of our
commerce or nation welfare. The OBJ
ject of this resolution was to give fair
notice to Europe and let them under
stand what to expect, as the United
States is acknowledged to be the
strongest government in the western
hemisphere. AS matter of course 1t
is to be expected that the weaker gov
ernments must consult with the United
States before granted permission to
Europe to sever the two continents

Antonelli's Heirs.

Rome, Italy, June 2s.-The pleadings
in the Antonelli will case have been
closed, and Judgment will be rendered
in ten days. The defense pleaded that
the suit of the Countess Lambertini,
who claimed to be daughter Of the
late Cardinel Antonelli, should be re-
jected because sacriligious children,
that is children of priests, had not even
the right to claim parentage.

Printing Labels on Bottles.

The London Chemist and Druggist refers
to method of labelling bottles by a pro
cess invented in Germany. The labels
are printed on the bottles themselves by
a simple operation, neither paper nor
mucilage being required. There is no
trimming or moistening of labels. The
bottles are placed in the hands of prin-
ter, who delivers them at the rate of 1000
a day, labeled in neat and finished style.
The process is an actual printing, not an
etching or a sand blast. The labels can
be scraped off with knife, though they
are not affected by water. They are not
so Opaque as Paper, and beautiful effects
can be obtained by using white ground
on bottles filled with colored substances
Bottles can be labeled when full as easily
as when empty, and the address of the
sender can be attached by this process to
proprietary articles. Labelling by this
method is said to cost no more than by
that now in use.

Mrs. Ursula Solares, aged seventy-eight
years, died in Tucson last Tuesday night
(23d.) She was one Of the oldest residents
of southern Arizona, having come here
sixty three years ago. Her husband was
killed by the Indians in 1850 on the then
outskirts of the small settlement of this
place. On the approach of the American
troops when all others fled to San Xavier
she remained in Tucson, and opened a
somewhat primitive bakery, from which
she sold tortillas with considerable profit

ounces, and the value as Sal .S22.70. The
further information is impaired that the
nugget is the largest piece Of GOLD ever
found This is an error A larger one
was found at Bendigo lead On February
9. 1863, and it weighed 189 pounds

The Welcome nugget, large as it was,
did not enrich the finders, for there
were twelve shareholders in it, and it
brought them less than 81, 200 each; but
it would have been a lucky find for a

out tainted dead away before he un-
earthed it. When his pick first struck
it he put forth his hand to pick up the
lump; the light of his candle fell upon it

it did not yield to his touch; then he be-

it grew in size under his exploring digits.
