Captain EadS' Ship Railway ProIect-Its
Advantages over Others.
Special Dispatch to the lntellIgencer.
WASHINGTON, January 27-E. j. Reed,
NJ P.,the celebrated English ship engineer,
is in Washington, and it is understood that
he will appear before the Commissioners
OF Congress in advocacy of the Eads' Ship
Railway scheme. Captain Eads himself
appeared before the Committee on Com
merce Of the Senate day-before.yesterday,
and made statement Of his project. He
said that be regarded the construction OF q
ship railway across the Isthmus OF Tehuan-
tepec as reasonably sure. The only question
was whether it should be done under the
auspices OF the United States Government
or by British capital,
During his visit to Europe last summer
he received assurances that the necessary
funds to complete the enormous under
taking would be raised by a combination
of English ship owners within sixty days If
he desired their assistance. He replied
that he did not, unless the Government OF
the United States should refuse to assist
him in the undertaking. Eads' friends say
that the construction Of line Of railroad
from California to New Orleans, by opening
through freightroutc for the Pacific Slope
products to Europe via the Mississippi Jet
ties and the Gull, will ruin the carrying
trade around Capetown between Liverpool
and San Francisco.
Unless the Ship Railway is built, the rail-
road companies cdf reduce freights to a
figure which will render English compete
ton by way Of the Horn impossible.
When the English are crowded out the
company having u monopoly Of the route
can then increase the rates to suit them.
selves, and the American producers will
suffer in consequence. II the Ship Rail-
way is built it will be impossible for the
Southern Pacific and its connections to Sc.
cure monopoly, as ireights can be
carried from Liverpool to San Fran,
cisco via the Ship Railroad as
cheaply as by the Railroad to
New Orleans. The Eadyocates of Eads'
plan maintain that the products OF the far
west will ultimately be enormously
benefited by his line, which will prevent
any monopoly in the carrying of trade
whatsoever. They also maintain that the
ship railway will be practical regulator Of
freights, preventing enormous charges by
either the ship lines or the railway COM
panies. One Of iMr. Eads agents averred
this afternoon that the ship railway would
certainly be built within the next five
years.

WASHINGTON, January 97.-The House
Committee on Commerce has crushed Mr..
Morgan R. Wise's scheme to free the Mon
ongahela OF tolls. He proposed that the
locks and dams should be taken by the
Government and made free. Mr.. Page,
the chairman OF the committee, who pre-
sented the adverse report, said that the
scheme was simply preposterous, and was
not countenanced by the committee for o
moment.
Senator Davis bill, introduced yesterday,
appropriating 100000 for the improve
ment OF the Monongahela from Pittsburgh
TO Fairmont, does not have a very good
outlook for becoming law, but it will be
vigorously pushed.

will soon be recommended by the Census
Committee, giving the next Congress 800
members, that West Virginia may be able
to SO redistrict as to make the coming dele
ton Of four solidly Democratic, not taking

party, and has advanced as well as the
population Of West Virginia,
The House to-day passed twenty.three
local bills. The Democrats OF the Forty
sixth Congress passed only thirty odd bill
during its entire last session.
