The prospect for the passage by Congress
Of Mr.. Eads' Ship Railway bill Is not
bright. Il is difficult without actual de-
monstration, to prove the feasibility OF
transporting loaded ships across the 18TH
mus. Demonstration in this case will be a
very expensive experiment Mr.. Eads Is
opposed by .he gigantic monopolies that
have railroads made or planned across the
continent, and also by the friends OF the
Lcsseps canal. Some very eminent Engi-
neers believe in the feasibility of the un-
dertaking. While Others insist that the
Earring and shaking to which ship would
be subjected through transportation by rail
would make her unseaworthy. The oppo-
sers of this argument urge that the shaking
on railroad prepared especially for ship
transportation would not be as tying to the
strength of vessel % is the rude machine
~ with which every Ship is first launched,
and they urge, with much piausibility, that
a ship built 10 endure the rough treatment
of wind and wave will rest On these cars Is
in harbor Surely this is a wonderfully
progressive age and it is not impossible that
before Les3eps completes his DIrien canal,
or turned central Africa into another Medi-
terranean, We may sec ships moving across
the Mexican isthm-s, over track Of i'm
mensc width, supported on gigantic trucks
and drawn ny engines of stuPcndcous
strength.
