The InterOceanic route.

The selection by the late Canal Con-
gre of the Panama 70 ute, advocated
BY Lieut. Wyse, calls renewed atteu-
ton to the line across the Isthmus fol-
lowed by the railway. There have
been two canal routes surveyed across
the Departments of Colon and Panam ma,
10 the State of Panama Whey leave
the Atlantic at Navy Bay and termin
ate in the Gulf of Panama. The two
projects are so nearly alike that they
Can be treated as one, that only differ
euce being at the Pacific side, where
slight change in direction ADDS one
mile to the total length. For all prac-
teal purposes these routes follow the
Panama Railway. The traverse an
inhabited region. The first project
contemplates canal seyenty-two kilo-
metres in length, aud requires excava-
ton to the amount Of 81 900, 900 cubic
metres and filing equal to 5000, 900
cubic metres Twenty FIVE locks will
have to be constructed 1t was ex-
amined by Garela in 1913, Totter In
1852 and the American Commission
under Lull, 1875, The cost
of the lock route is placed by re-
port of the subcommittee on construc-
ton, given above, at 10000, 600
and the work can be completed in six
years. The later project, and the one
championed by Lieutenant Wyse, con-
templates a canal 70 kilometres long,
At 100000 cubic metres of excavation,
and, 10 place Of the locks, tunnel six
kilometres in length 1t is the heroic
treatment Of the first project. The
tunnel is the new feature suggested by
the international Commission of 1888
and supplemented by new surveys by
Lieutenant Wyse, Its costs will be
about the same as the other prof
and it will require an equal length of
time. The Panama Railway Company
would have to be paid an indemn nifty as
it possesses a franchise emitting it to
do all the transportation business
across that part of the 18th mus

The Poisoned Brook.

Boston, Mass, May 30.-The lie
raid will publish tomorrow morning
the following special from Island Pond
Vt: The entire school district known
as the Jacobs Mills district, at Newark,
ten miles from here, numbering TWEEN
ty children, drank water from brook
poisoned by the carcasses of dead
horses and sheep, also p tato-tops upon
which paris green had been used, they
being thrown into the brook. Seven
teen children were taken down, and
eleven are dead. The others can not
live. Edward Morse lost two, Fred
Simpson one, L. Wilson one, Mr.. Park
one, John Cole one and John Aldrich
FIVE, his entire family of children.
Mrs. Aldrich is hopelessly insane.
The children suffered untold agonies,
and after death the bodies became put
rid and required immediate burial.
Work has been suspended and great
excitement prevails. The teacher Of
the school noticed something wrong
about the taste Of the water, and for
babe it's use in the school, but seven
teen of the scholars used it, and were
stricken down within twenty-four
hours. One of the children. son of
Mr.. Hudson, pulled through. just
above the school-house was a field of
potatoes last season, and paris green
was used extensively to extermiuate
potato bugs. The potato-tops were
dumped into the barn-yard Of Horace
Cheney, who built drain from the
barn-yard to the brook. He also buried
colt in the Spring Of 1878 on the
edge of the brook, and the flowing
water washed out parts of the carcass.
A Mr.. Simpson, who has lost one child,
objected to the colt being buried there,
and caused Cheney to move it and
bury it elsewhere: which was done, but
it was buried in swamp only so feet
from the brook, the water of which ran
into the brook. Cheney, remarked
that he guessed he hadn't bettered it
much. Violent threats are freely ex-
pressed toward Cheney. Samples of
the water have been sent to Boston
for analysis, and the selectmen will not
take any proceedings till the result is
known. Old and young are taking the
disease, but in milder form, and will
soon recover. Six physicians have
been unremitting in their attendance.
Public opinion runs high, each one
having his or her views of the trouble,

Sketch Of the Ohio Republican NOmi
nees for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor.

Hon. Charles Foster, the nominee
of the Republican party of Ohio for
Governor, was born in Seneca county,
in that State, April 18th, 1928, and
is. therefore, at this tine in bis SD

ton at the schools and the academy at
Norwalk, he become engaged in
mercantile and banking pursuits. His

member of the Forty-second Congress
He was reelected to stLe Forty-third,
Fourty fourth and Forty-ffth Con-
crosses. In the campaign ofdl878 he
led forlorn hope in the gerrymarder-
ed Eigth District, and was defeated,

THIS is the first democratic con-

THIS is the first democratic con-
gress, democratic in both branches,
the country has had for nearly TWEEN
ty years. And the Republicans
are ready willing and anxious to go
before the country with the record
of this congress, if the democrats
are even willing. We don't sup.
pose they are anxious or ready. A
beautiful ready. Look at it, the
first democratic Legislation we have
had for twenty years. What has
it been? What has this congress
done? Name bill that has been
passed, point out page or an act
of its legislation that has cheered
business circles, that has encourag
ed industry, that has brought the
CLEAN of brighter days and better
times to the home of the poor man.
Name one act of this democratic
congress that has made its existence
dear to the people; name one act
of this congress that has made the
heart of loyal and country loving
people throb and glow with pride
and joy; show us one man who can
uncover his face and unblushingly
declare that he is proud of this
democratic congress and its work.
A beautiful record the democratic
party has written for itself. Beauti-
full work it has done since it came
into power. A beautiful thing this
congress is to go before the country
with!

The Last Veto.

As has been expected the presi-
dent has vetoed the legislative, exc
eutive and judicial appropriation
bill. At the outset of the document
the president calls attention to his
former objection to the practice of
lacking general l gislation on ap-
preparation bills, especially when it
IS done for the purpose of depriv-
ing a coordinate branch Of the
government of its own discretion
and Judgment touching such legis-
lation, and regrets that the majority
has again seen fit to prevent his
discharging his duty in regard to
such general legislation without
seeming to delay the necessary APP
preparations for the support of the
government He net disposes of
the question as to the right of the
general government to regulate
congressional elections and points
out the fact that the election laws
which it is proposed to repeal by
the bill under consideration have
been in force for thirteen years, and
that all the members of congress
hold their seats by virtue of their
election under said laws. The pre-
sident does not object to the bill on
the ground that the political legis-
Iation embodied in it tends to sub
ordidate the national to the state
authority, as the right of the nation
al government to regulate congress
ional elections is recognized in th at
clause of the bill providing for the
appointment of supervisors of cleo
tons by United States circuit judges.
The presidents chief grounds of
objection to the bill are that a re-
peal of that portion of the election
laws providing for the appointment
of deputy -narshals and defining
their duties at elections would de-
prive supervisors of all power to
prevent fraud at elections or to
punish violators of the very law
under which they were appointed.
As the president puts it, to appoint
supervisors to be present at elections
as lookerson simply, would be to
retain the shadow of national super
vision while it took away the SUBJ
stance. The president then pro-
eeeds to show the necessity of the
present election law, and quotes
democratic authority to prove that
IT'S working has been to prevent
fraud and promote free and fair
elections. The message concludes
BY saying that the great body of
the people of all parties do not de-
sire repeal of 1.-THE election laws,
but rather more stringent enact
rnents and a more vigorous enforce
n1ent of laws to preserve the purity
of elections. Taken altogether, the
third, veto message of President
Hayes will rank with its predeces-
sors, and is an unanswerable argu-
ment agains THE brigadiers' pro-
posed raid on the ballot-box.

matter will be thoroughly aud proper
