The Inter-Oceanlc Canal Question.
COUNT DE LEssEPs BEFORE THE CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEE.

Count De Lesseps closed his testimony this
morning before the House select committee on
the inter-oceanic canal and both he and MIR.
Beonne, of the French navy, replied to various
inquiries on the part of members OF the commit
tee. In regard to the region of Gains In the
neighborhood of the bay of Panama, Mr. Beonne
suggested, as a solution Of that difficulty; that
the American commercial marine would De
changed by the er-oceanic canal from sail
ing vessels to steam vessels, Just as
on the English commercial navy. He
also suggested that sailing. vessels might be
provided with some auxiliary steam machinery.
Three or four miles from the coast line there
was no difference as to the region of calms.
The ocean opposite Nicaragua and Tehuantepec
was as subject to calms as the region opposite
Panama. In reply to Mr. Oscar Turner, OF KY,
Count De Lesseps recounted the various sur
yeys made of the ISthmuS, and expressed his
conviction that it was useless to have any more
such surveys. The question was whether COM
merce wanted long canal with obstacles or
short canal without obstacles A vote of thanks
was passed to Count De Lesseps for his polite
attendance and for the information which he
had given. In acknowledging this courtesy,
Mr.. De Lesseps said that while he was not pres
ent to talk politics, but to give scientific views
about the canal, he could not refrain from eX-
pressing his delight with the Presidents mes
sage yesterday on the subject of the canal, be-
cause it would certainly be advantageous to
have the protection Of the United States during
the work and after the opening OF the canal
He had Just sent message to his son at Paris,
saying that the Presidents message assured the
safety Of the canal.
CAPT EADS' SHIP RAILWAY PROJECT
Capt. Eads, the protector and executor of the
work of the Mississippi jetties, read paper be-
fore the committee, in advocacy of his plan OF a
ship railway. He claimed that a substantial
an durable ship railway can be built for half the
cost of a canal with locks and for one-fourth
that Of canal at tide-level; that such a ship
railway can be built in one-third or One-fourth
OF the the time needed for the construction OF a
canal; that when built, ships of the maximum
five times greater speed than in canal; that a
greater number of vessels per day can be trans
ported by the railway than can possibly be
ship railway can be easily increased to meet the
demands of commerce; that the cost of mainte-
nance OF the road bed and rolling stock would
be much less than that OF a canal; and that
railway can be constructed and operated in
localities where it is not practicable to con-

Wall street To-Day.

NEW YORK, March h9.-The Post, in its financial
article to- day, says: The stock exchange opened
a regular but generally dropping market for
speculative securities; after the first hour the
stock market became strong and has been SO
since. The leading speculative stocks to-day
are Pacific Mail, Erie, Lake Shore, Wabash and
Pacific, Ohio and Mississippi, Chesapeake and
Ohio, Manhattan, Iron Mountain and Houston
and Texas. They were as noted, all weak in
the early dealings, and are all strong as we
write. Government bonds are strong, the only
change being an advance of u in the S's Of 1885,
Railroad bonds are irregular. In the mining
stocks Little P1ttsburg, which is the subject Of
an excited speculation, fell at one time to 81,
and 10 as we write. In the money market call
loans on stocks are 5a6 per cent, and on United
States bonds 4a5 per cent. Time loans are per
cent on stocks and on United States bonds
Prime mercantile paper is 5a6 per cent. Each
week the loan market becomes more and more
dependent on the Treasury, the customs and
revenue receipts being so large that bond pur
chases must be large or the money market be-
come tightened. So little currency has returned
here this year that it may be the demand for
April settlements will be less than usual; butit
is hardly safe to calculate, and tO-morrows
bond purchase. for the sinking fund win be
awaited with even more interest than last
week.

District Government Affairs.

4 petition to the District Commissioners is
being circulated by the citizens Of East Wash
ington. asking that they advocate the site for
the Union depot at the western terminus of the
Navy-yard tunnel, 9th and K streets southeast.
1t sets forth that there is ample room for both
freight and passenger depots. and that it would
afford relief to the citizens by settling the queS
tion Of street occupancy.
INCREASED WATER RATES.
The water registrar is busy with his clerical
force In making out bills for the next water
rent year with the increased rate Of 20 per cent.
The reasons for such increase were stated fully
in the last report of the water registrar, that
the revenue OF the department is inadequate to
its wants, for after paying out to the sinking
fund 900 per annum and over S29 600 interest
on outstanding water bonds there is not enough
left to keep up so extensive a system Of water
supply and keep two engines pumping water
continuously for the high grounds. This fund,
il is stated, has been running short for num-
ber of years, and the deficit has been charged
up to the general fund, but now the law re-
quires the department to be self-supporung,
which necessltates the increase Of rents

The late DR.. BrOdhead, who possessed most
retentive memory and keen sense of humor
had, perhaps a greater fund OF interesting
anecdotes connected with those who had lived
in Washington during the past half century
than any OF his cotemporartes. Apropos
OF very fine picture OF Mary Magdalen in his

brilliant apostrOphe to George Washington In
the House OF Representatives, by saying, sc GO
UP, George! Ascend, and take your place In
Heaven between the Savior and Mary McDan-
iels!'
In proof Of the great increase in the value of
property here, DR.. Brodhead mentioned two
years ago that the previous year he had paid
upwards of $500 taxes on his house and lot on
New Jersey avenue, Capitol Hill, which was
more than the entire property, including the
residence, cost forty years before. He at one
llme paid but SIT per annum in taxes on it. Dr.
Brodhead possessed some rare works OF art pur-
chased by himself in Europe, and very valua-

the country, some Of them bearing dates as ear
