The report comes from Nicaragua, by
way OF Washington, that the Nicaragua
Canal project is practically abandoned.
The present company seems to have been
unable to cope successfully with the oh.
stacles presented These obstacles are
mainly OF financial character. The
work is not difficult of accomplishment
if the means were Forthcoming. The
cause OF the failure is probably the alb.
sorption of capital by transportation com.
panies whose interests are opposed to the
construction Of canal connecting the
two oceans. The same cause would have
prevented the commencement of the
Panama Canal If the projectors had de-
pended upon American capital But NJ.
de Lesseps relied mainly upon European
capital, which had no interest in Ameri-
can railroads. 1t remains to be seen
whether or not the Panama Canal will
prove remunerative.

PERILOUs VOYAGE.
Over the Colorado Rapids i'm an E1-
fempore Craft
san Fr.neiseo chron.cle.l

j. i. Ryan, \ young man who form
erly resided in this city, and who Is now
engaged in mining at Total Wreck, A. T.,
sends an interesting account OF a peculiar
trip which ne recently made from Phoebe.
New. to his present location. This in
formation is contained in letter to
friend in this city, and is briefly as fol
lows About the middle Of December
last Ryan, who was then at Phoebe, be-
came imbued with the idea Of going to
Arizona to try his luck in the mines.
Hiring wagon, he set out for Ell Dorado
Canyon, point on the Colorado river,
about go miles south OF Phoebe. Twenty
miles from the starting point the traveller
came upon a long, deep canyon, called
the Meadow Valley Wash, along which
is narrow, winding road, following
madly rushing stream of water between
towering and perpendicular cliffs for over
80 miles. Only rarely were to be fcdsd
small ranches, where the canyon was in
places spread out By the hand Of Nature.
Emerging from the mouth Of the canyon
the traveller crossed a wide strip OF desert
and in few days reached his objective
point on the Colorado.
He was afforded still further chance
for rough road travel, but as he had be-
come sick OF this, young Ryan set to
work to construct craft with which to
navigate the mad waters OF the Colorado,
which rush down through narrow can
yon between cliffs hundreds of feet high,
and which is in places over 80 feet in
depth, SO narrow is the channel between
the bold, rocky banks. The danger OF
the voyage which he was about to set
out upon was pointed out by the Indians,
who understood the nature of the hazard
GUS undertaking, but their representa-.
tions of peril did not succeed in daunt.
ing the courageous heart of the young
man, who kept at work on the rough ma
terial at his disposal, which was little
else than few old boards picked up in
the vicinity, after much labor and pains.
Launching his queer craft upon the river,
be placed mesquite pole in an upright
position, to serve as mast, and, setting
his blankets, which were made to do SER
vice as sails, to the breeze, he sailed
down the turbulent stream.
He had gone but short distance when
he encountered some very rough rapids,
which several times threatened the de.
struction OF his boat, but he succeeded in
passing these in safety, only to meet
more dangerous shoals, snags, projecting
rocks, quicksands and strong currents.
A great number Of Indians were seen on
the banks, and although trouble was
feared from that source, as good luck
would have it, young Ryan escaped with
out molestation. After passing through
numerous perilous situations and viewing
much wild scenery which has rarely been
visited by white men, Ryan and his odd
craft reached the Needles after nearly a
days voyaging, during which he had
travelled 100 miles OF rapids. There the
boat was abandoned for the less dan
gerous mode of travel afforded by the
railroad, and Ryan soon reached Total
Wreck. where his long and adventurous
journey was ended.

The only property which Mr.. Willard
is supposed to have saved from the wreck
of his fortune is his extensive mansion
and ten acres of ground at Dobb's Ferry,
near New York City, and his old body
servant, John Potts, who now remains in
sole charge. A few weeks ago thirty
men were engaged in tilling the ground,
planting trees, laying out roads and in
identifying the place generally. The
stables and barns were filled with choice
breeds OF horses and cattle. The house.
though not in use, was kept open by
servants. Suddenly all servants and
workmen were discharged. Horses, car.
riages, sleighs and stock were sent to
New York and sold, and only old John
Potts remains to boast of his masters de.
parted glory.

THE ,ursCOOT DAM PROJECT.

The Aoueduct Commissioners yesterday heard ar
puments concerning the proposed construct%,o % VI Vi
the Quaker Bridge dam, the enlargement OF Croton
Lake and the construction OF a daul anu icSoi' WI
.Jobn Jaw a resident of Katonah, said that the
matter which the residents of that vicinity were were
chiefly concerned in as to the extent 10 "ilch
the water would be drawn from the Musc0ot uaI1'
Ii would affect the health of the neighbOrhood.
Chief Engineer Church explained that the scheme
did not contemplate drawing down the "atci
at that point TO any considerable extent. .,.
Mr.. Jay said with that explanation the reslueh'0
of Katonah would be satisfied. ..
Robert l.. Darragh former CrotOn Water Conmls-
siouer said that il seemed to him ridiculous 10 say
that il was not intended to draw of this water.
With the city growing rapidly 1t was certain 'n"o
this water would have to be drawn on . oo
Engineer Church explained that 32,O0O'O0O,000o
gallons could he stored there, while really only 81
600 600 would be stored there. IT was to be an
auxiliary to the Quaker Bridge Dam Reservoir;
In response to question, EnglheeT Ohulcl Sliu %
that an average of 800, 100000 gallons per day
for six months of the year ran to waste from the
CrOtOn Dam. 80, =,
William II. Webb said that he believed this dam
would cost much more than the estimates gwen ~
the engineers As taxpayer he wanted more dih-
mite information than had been given. -
Mr. Church said IN response to question py Ootn s
missioner Spencer that he estimated the total cost OF
the Quaker Bridge Dam, coferdam BRIDGES cost OF
land etc. at So 600 900. About 800 feet below
the proposed site of the dam a ledge of rock
IN the bed of the Croton River rises eighteen 1eeV
above the high tide of the Hudson River. r
Commissioner Thompson of the department OF
Public Works. said that he wished to correct q
rumOr that had been circulated that the quaker
Bridge Dam scheme was gotten up III Ine

The best hydraulic engineers had unahl-
mously declared in favor Of the Quaker Brldge
