The policy which the administration will adopt
with reference to the ) and s per cent, bonds
which will be payable or before July lst 1884,
is attracting considerable interest as it may affect
the money market. 1t is now pretty well settled
that the Secretary OF the Treasury, upon the as
surance of large number Of bankers that they
will encourage the movement, will make an effort
to secure the agreement of the holders of the ma
turing bonds to allow them to run at rate Of in
terest not exceeding 81 per cent until funding
bill shall be passed by Congress. The New York
Financial Chronicle says that this permission, it
is thought, would be agreeable and accepted by the
banks holding circulation, as the disposition
among them is not to change circulation at the
present time, unless forced to do so, in the hope
that the next Congress will make it possible to
retain it, even with low rate bond, by repeating

Isthmus Transit.

In speech delivered in the Senate on
the 2oth of February last, Hon. William
Window, now Secretary of the Treasury,
discussed the various projects for COM
mercial transit at the Isthmus, and after
declaring that this should be an Ameri
can enterprise, under the exclusive con-
troll of this government, gave his adhe
sion to the ship railway project of Capt.
James B. Eads, the specific advantages
of which, so far as this country is con-
cerned, are thus enumerated :
First 1t is much shorter and hence will afford
cheaper transportation.
Second 1t will require far less time and money
for its construction, and hence will afford much
earlier relief, and cheaper transit
Third. 1t will be peculiarly adapted to the use
of sailing vessels
Fourth. For the above reasons and Others, it
will prove far better and more efTec,ual regula-
tion of railway charges.
Fifth Its military advantages are incompara-
bly, superior to any other route.
Sixth. 1t will establish intimate commercial
relations between the United States and Mexico
which the other routes would not
Seventh. 1t will prove the most etfectua meth
storing our lost supremacy on the ocean
The difference in distance between
New Orleans and San Francisco by the
Tehuantepec over the Panama route is
1874 miles in favor of the former. and so
far as climatic and local advantages are
concerned, they are altogether in favor
OF Tehuantepec. The estimated cost of
the ship railway is S75,OOO, 900, while
that Of the proposed Panama Canal is
S24O, 900 900; and the time required for
the construction Of the former is from
three to four years, whereas, when the
climate and excessive rainfall of Panama
are taken into account, the completion of
the latter can not reasonably be looked for
IN less than fifteen or twenty years. Fur
thermOre, it is claimed that the Tehuante-
pee crossing has superior military adyan-
tages over all other routes; that if wopld
serve as a regulator of freight rates on
railways stretching across the continent,
and that it would etfectually unity the
interests of Mexico with those of this

Great minds differ. The Prog. Age

that the result may be to injure the party

of the case.

Total a-------....-.....--... 73 800 600 900
From the above it will be seen that
even now, when only three years of the
six or seven mentioned by Mr. Little
have gone, those states have reached a
condition when common prudence would
say that they had not another foot to
spare. They are rapidly growing in
wealth and population, and in all proba-
bility will have 5000, 900 inhabitants to
supply within their own boundaries in
the reXt ten years, so that the amount
now remaining would barely supply their
own wants for twenty years from to-day !;
but what will be their condition in four
years from this time if the continued
slaughter of the pine be kept up?
In round numbers, Michigan is parting
with her forests at the rate OF 5000, ,OOO,- \
600 feet a year; consequently at the end
of four years will have only 10000, 900, 900
remaining to supply her more than 2, ,OOO,- :
600 people Wisconsin will probably part
with $4,000, 900, 900 during the same peri
Cd, leaving her with only $4,000, 600, 900,
and Minnesota that has not a stock to-
day one quarter sufficient tor her own
wants, will be reduced to 5000 OO0, 900,
leaving only 3S ,00O, 100000 of white pine
in the whole northwest ian amount little
less than two years consumption of the
whole country, as the reserve supply,
not only for themselves, but for the entire
country.
Formerly, says Mr.. Little, when the
New England States parted with their
pines, there remained the forests of New
York, Pennsylvania, and Canada to fall
back on, and these in their turn fell back
on Michigan, but now the reserves them
selves are about gone, and even Canada
is forced to compete for supplies in the
forests of Wisconsin for the English mar
ket, and unless something is at once done
to stop the destruction of this indispensa-
bic timber, it will be all gone, and we will
only have the stumps to remind us of our
folly.

tigaliOn.

J. BRADLEY ADAMS AS A WITNESS.
The Senate committee investigating the ex-
pendtures of the contingent fund Of the various
executive departments resumed work this morn
ing. Mr. j. Bradley Adams. a Washington mer-
chant, was examined in regard to certain charges
which were preferred against him by witness
ses who appeared before the Mcline
investigating commission last summer. From
what can be ascertained it appears that the ex-
animation Of Mr.. Adams was devoted princi-
pally to certain business transactions which oc-
Cured between the Treasury department and
himself The main features of tine eNamina-
ton was relative to the allegation hereto
fore published that Mr.. Adams collected 800 on
goods furnished the department the retail value
of which did not exceed $500 The members of
the committee are still extremely reticent re-
garding the proceedings, and an Injunction of
secrecy appears to have been placed
upon the witnesses
