THE PANAMA CANAL.
A Prospect That II Will BE Opened i,
six Keara.

A Prospect That 1t will he Opened in
six Years.
New ORLEANS, Feb 18.-The United States
States steamship Tennessee, flagship of the
North Atlantic squadron, has arrived here. af-
ter weeks stay at Aspinwall. Lieutenant
Kimball, of that vessel, was also there one
year ago, and both times he inspected the en-
tire work which was being done on De Lesseps
Panama Canal. He says that since last year
great deal of work has been done, and at pres
ent every section but two has been let out to
contractors These two embrace difficult por-
tons and are being constructed by the COM
paDy. Work is being rapidly pushed all along
the line. Between Is, 900 and 10000 Jamaica
negroes are employed under the direction of
the French engineers. Several large Ameri-
can dredging machines are being used. The
Panama road is brought into play to transport
material, while for the "dump" railway to
draw the excavation away, nearly $50 new To-
comotives have been contracted for. Great
difficulty is being encountered in the Phagres
river, which crosses the canal at right angles
The engineers have determined to dam it up
entirely, and dig an entry near the new chan
mel for it into the Gulf, parallel to the line of
the canal. At the rate work is going on the
canal will be ready for opening in five or six
years. The French director lat Aspinwall has
been assured that money enough will be fur
nished to push the enterprise vigorously to
completion.
Senator Frye, in conversation this afternoon,
expressed his opinion that the control of the
inter-oceanic canal is one of the most import
ant questions now before the American peo-
pie. He believes that our government cannot
afford to allow any foreign power to control
such a canal as it would give them the COM
msnd of the Pacific ocean and must sooner or
later result in war for its control. He is a
strenuous advocate of a Nicaragua canal built
by the United States, but he believes that a
proper assertion of our right is necessary in
order to prevent France or any other Euro
pean power from obtaining control Of the Pam
anna Isthmus. Lieutenant Rodgers, of the
Tennessee, has forwarded to the Navy De-
partment report upon the present condition
of the canal, setting forth its status in detail.
The Tennessee was expected to leave here for
the East, but unexpectedly Admiral Cooper
has been ordered to sail for Vera Cruz.

Fine Exercise for Kentucky Con.
a. SSSN
Rowling Green Times. 1

A very pc culiar and amusing game is what
they call turkey walking. 1t is played most
ly in the rural districts, and ou such occa-
sions a large Ecrowd is generally present.
Last Saturday afternoon our clever Congress
man, the Hon. ]. E. Haisell, while passing
in the Phalan neighborhood, came upon au
affair OF the kind, and was asked to ''iine
in.'
The Judge, who is always accommodating,
said he didn't care if he did, and he and old
man William Blewitt were matched togeth
er. Both parties were bllndfGded, and each
carried stake, which they were to set up as
near as they could to given point. They
both crept slowly along in total darkness,
while the crowd sent up roar after roar OF
laughter as they watched their mannuvres.
They went forty feet almost together, and
suddenly turned at right angles. Halsell at
last stuck his stake seyenty-hve feet from
the mark, and BewiLt ran against tree and
concluded he would stick his stake The
result was that Blewitt beat Hasell few
feet. The "turkey walking" was kept up
all day, and the crowd had many hearty
laugh at the blunders of the participants.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.
1t is learned at the Department of State that
Minister Sargent has no positive information
on the subject of the return to the government
of the United States by Prince Bismarck, of he
Lasker resolution of coincidence. He said
that if the resolution has been returned, it has
not been returned through him and that he has
no official information as to it. Herr Won
Eisendecker, the German minister, said to-day
that he had not received any information on
the subject as yet, nor had he any intimation
that the resolution was on the way to him. He
said however, that if such were the case, he
thought that the communication transmitting
it would convince everybody that the resolu-
tion was not returned in any spirit of retalia-
ton.
New YORK, Feb 18.--A special to the Ev-
ening Post says that the Secretary of the Ger
man legation in Washington said to-day that
the Lasker resolution had been returned and
that the German minister would soon commu-
nlcate with Secretary Frelinghuysen.
BERLIN, Feb. 18.-It is stated that Prince
Bisa~a ~arck's reasons for returning to the Amer
lean Congress, the resolution of coincidence at
the death of Herr Lasker, will shortly be pub
hshed. The claim is made that high politi-
cal principle formed the basis of the action.
