efforts to secure the passage of the bill st
the coming session of Congress, and the
supporters of the Eads Ship Railway Will
do all they can in behalf of their project.
The bill for the construction of the Near
agus Canal was favorably reported from
the House Committee on foreign affairs
by Mr.. hasson s. few days before the close
Of the last session. Blount OF Georgia
has nosy sent the clerk OF that committee s
minority report. He especially objects to
the proposed guarantee by the United
States of TIRES per cent per annum upon
so, 200, 900 in canal bonds for ~ years.
This is one of the provisions Of the MAJOR
ity bill. Belmont has been here examin-
ing the treaties and other matters relating
to the subject, and it is said he may sign
BlOunt's minority report. Mason Will
ask for consideration of his bill at an
early day. He has a deep conviction OF
the Importance of early action, and says
that the Government would probably not
be called upon to pay the three per cent,
as there is waiting for the canal sufficient
business to make it profitable. He says
that the cost OF the canal, exclusive OF the
two harbors, may be roughly estimated at
S52, 600. coo. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty Is
no barrier. ~Frelinghuysen and Blaine
agree with him on this point. He says
that if the House should pass the bill, the
Eads bill would be moved as an amend
ment in the Senate, and Vest says that II
Eads' bill should be defeated, he will IN
sist that the three per cent guarantee
shall not be operative until after the COM
pletion OF the canal.
A Battle with the elements.
BUFFALO, Nov. 24.-TAe terrible storm
which broke here last evening continues
to-day in all its fury. The city never had
to undergo a harder battle with the ele-
ments. Several persons were injured this
morning by falling signs. The sidewalks
are covered with debris. The wind was
strong enough to overtGrn canvas-cov-
cred express wagons. The velocity was 60
miles an hour at $50 this morning. Sleet,
snow and rain have been falling incessant-
IL since about , o'clock this morning. The
harbor presents a gloomy appearance. In
addition to the loss-of the schooner Doane,
the schooner A. H. Moss wss almost to-
tally wrecked, having gone upon the
breakwater at the foot of York street. The
life-saving crew rescued all hands, and the
tuSo RS WI Mug " SSt lac NSsSSA VI
before she goes to pieces entirely. The
schooner GrOton is on the beach at lift
Farm. The floating elevator capsized
during the night and was thrown upon the
dock. The water in the creek has risen
four feet. So far not a life has been lost
in this port, but the escapes have been
miraculous.
The Eastern Railroad War.
New YORK, Nov. 24.-The World prints
the following: milwaukee, Nov. 23.-To
the Editor of the World-sir; I have to
say, in answer to your inquiries by tele-
graph, that I cannot possibly tell how long
the existing and inexcusable railroad war
here may last. 1t has been begun because
we refused to submit to what w deemed
very unreasonable demands, and after we
had offered to leave all points in dispute
to arbitration. 1t augurs badly for future
railroad property In this country If great
corporations are to act in this manner.
After submitting without retaliation for
some weeks TO unprovoked hostilities, we
are now amply trying to defend ourselves.
Great Loss or Shipping,
DETROIT, Nov. 24.-Dhe Captain Of the
Fountain City, which arrived nj midnight,
thinks the loss to shipping by last nights
gale will be very heavy. He says there
are many crafts OF every description out
on Lake Huron, and that the storm OF
Saginaw Bay was simply terrible. The
schooner c. b. Benson is reported aground
on Colchester Reef on Lake Erie. Yester-
dsv afternoon flying signals of distress,
with the crew dashed to the rigging, were
seen. The vessel that sighted them was
unable TO get TO them.
