decked boat called the Golden State were
brought to New York yesterday in the steamer

by fishermen. They landed there, and after re-
naming among the fishermen for time to
rest themselves made for Bahia They saved
nothing except what they had on them.

said in his speech in France on Satur-
day last white talking about the Pana-
ma canal scheme, that he acts under a
concession from the government Of Co.
lonbia, Sout2 America, and he says,
"no other power has anything to do
with it," The fact Is that the Presi-
dent and the Congress Of the United
States contend thatthey have something
to do with 1t and If de Lessu2s thinks
differently jus. let him go aheal with
his scheme and he will soon find out
how much they have to do with it.
Lessups also said he had sixty millions
Of dollars pledged to him in this coun-
try. II he has TIE subscribers have
not ls: the public know who they are.
Under present circumstances it is very

to not. his Ill er II policy towards great
public improvements. The Northern
Pacific will open vast area of unset
Il ID territory now becoming valuable
on account Of mining and agriculture.
Building railroads is very expensive,
Q p4cially through unsettled, rccsy
re ;ions and amongst savage tribes o.
In lians, and if the government did not
affo'd juiicious help, such enterprises
wolld hardly be undertaken. The
Union Pacific would nave been delayed
for many years had not the govern
m mt lent its favor and encouraged thf
enterprise in more ways than one, aud
no when il is finished and been rup-
Ming go successfully for number Of
years the government would no doubt
purchase the whole road rather than II
BE- without it. The Northern Pacific
can be built nov perhaps cheaper thai
at any other time, for never before il
the history Of our nation has such a
:tream Of emigration poured into til
country than is now arriving on our
shores. At the present rate the num-
Der Of emigrants will reach 4o0. 900
during the present year. They can
uow hnd immediate employment on the
Northern Pacific railroad, and this will
scatter them along through a country
shat is comparatively unsettled, and
whore they can purchase their own
farms when the road is finished and be-
come 3 valued part Of our population
