General Joe Johnston,s views.
4aantic CITY. ". j., Special Philadelphia
Press, Sd.

Atlantic CITY. ". j., Special Philadelphia
Press, Sd.
General Joseph +. Johnston, of Vir-
ginia, expressed his opinion to-day to a
representative of the Press in regard TO
the Elam-Beirne duel. The fact that Mr..
Elan, who is the Secretary of the Com
monwealth of Virginia, is now said to be
threatened with blood poisoning from his
wound. makes General Johnston's opin-
ion as to the political and legal outcome
of the affray all the more interesting.
General Johnston and his wife have been
at the Brighton here for several days ms
physicians having recommended the salt
air of Atlantic City for his health. Gen-
eral Johnston said:
II am glad. and / have no doubt the
people of Virginia are glad, the outcome
of this duel has been such as not TO make 1t
a.subject for ridicule by the press of the
country. One of the participants was
wounded The affair was not bloodless,
as have been the half dozen duels fought
in Virginia in the last two or three years.
Mr.. Beirne is, l think. native of Green
brier county, in West Virginia, but has
lived in Richmond ever since the war,
having become the proprietor OF the state
at the death of j. Hampden Chamber
layne. Elan is native, think, OF North
Carolina. He is not respected nor highly
thought of among the better classes OF
people in Virginia. Indeed, there are
very few reputable white people in Ma
homes party.
'Mahone owns the Wing, and he owns
Elan, who edits the Wing. Mr.. Elan
says or writes anything Malone dictates
in the interest of Mahoneism. The SYM
pathies of the reputable classes are en-
tirely with Mr.. Beirne. You know the
laws of Virginia are more severe against
dueling than assassination. They are
too severe to be enforced for no severe
law can be enforced unless public opin-
ion is IN support of it. Consequently,
although by Nhe statute any one partici-
pating in any way in duel is disfran-
chised, you see the Legislature passing
bills re-enfranchising every now and then
whole patches of men who have been dis
franchised in this way"
When asked if a Virginia jury would
acquit Beirne if Mr.. Elan should die;
General Johnston said positively he
thought it would. The General is still a
hale looking man, though about seventy
years of age, and his fiery bIHck eye and
close trimmed white whiskers seem to
defy the attacks of time with the results
of long service IN the field and the forum.

The Barge CanaIin 1926.

In the Congress of the United States,
January 10, 1876, senator Hendricks,
from the Committee on Roads and Canals,
To whom was referred "a bill for the sur
vey of a route for a canal between the At
lantic and the Gulf of Mexico" reported
that 10 effect an inland navigation of
unbroken continuity from the Mississippi
river to Apalachicola bay only ttcelre
miles of cutting would be required on the
whole route, which would be through the
BAYS of II. Andrews. ChOctawhatchie.
81. Rosa Sound. Pensacola Bay, Grand
Lagoon, Perdido Bay, Bon SecOurs Bay,
Mobile Bay. Mississippi Sound. Lakes
Ponchartrain and Borgne. The cutting
would be through level country and
a soil mixed with clay and sand, furnish
ing every prospect Of easy excavation"
Quoting the above in recent article,
the Tallahassee F70rdidn remarked:
'.The spaces Of low, sandy land between
these links OF waterway amount in the
aggregate to-day to something more than
twelve miles, but their whole extent is
a trife that a small appropriation of in
ternal Improvement funds and first class
steam eXcaVator or two would sweep out
INSTRUCTED barge navigation from the
Mississippi to the ApalachicOla,' and to
Carrabelle. for the inland waters extends
east to Dog Island harbOr from the Apa-
lachic0la. Now, if the barge canal COM
pany do not open the route which will in
effect turn some Of the stream of the Mis-
sissippi TO a port of Middle Florida, we
suggest that il is clearly within the prov
nee Of Congress 10 make a river and har-
Dor appropriation for the work. 1t is
for the benefit of navigation in several
States"
This will be recognized as the western
division of the prospective Florida PENN
suIa. Okefnokee and Mississippi barge
canal. the entire cost of which has been
estimated at about 100000. This forms
a striking contrast with the estimated
cost of the Florida ship canal at $60,0OO,-
900 for less than one hundred miles eXca-
walton. The whole length of the barge
canal. from the Mississippi river to the
Atlantic Ocean ar the mouth of the st.
Mary's river. is about j6S miles.

The Rev Thomas Nicholas Burke, uni
versally known as Father Tom Burke,
whose death has been announced, was
only tifty-three years old. 1t is ten years
since he came to this country, following
Froude and fairly fiaying him for his MS
representations Of Irish history. His lee
lures completely destroyed the effect of
Froude's previous tour. Father Burke
was a born orator. He was eloquent,
witty and forcible, and won many friends
in this country. He died at the House of

leans at Tallagut, near Dublin, and, re-
moved as he is. in the prime of his useful
ness. he is a serious loss to his order.
