speaking of the transactions of foreign
land loan associations in South Carolina the
Columbia correspondent of the Neacs and
Courier says Sumter heads the list of bor-
rowers, there being forty-three loans on
land in that county. Next come kershaw,
Darlington, Lancaster, Marion and Aiken,
with good many borrowers each. In
many of the other counties the loans run
from two to nine in each. There have been
no loans in Berkeley, Charleston, Chester,
Georgetown, Horny, Oconee,. Newberry,
Union and Williamsburg. The firm en-
ploys no regular agents. Its attorneys in
the several counties represent it in general.
In most of the counties there are examiners
who inspect the property on which loans are
sought The representative of the Corbin
Banking Company, which also does large
land loan business, is not in Columbia at
present. 1t is believed that tW o more land
loan companies from the West contemplate
entering South Carolina this fall.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

Half the Time and Money Spent and
Only a Thirtieth of the Work Done.
Lieut.. r. NJ. g. Brown, of the navy, has
made long report to Secretary Chandler.
says a Washington special, about the pro-
gress Of the Panama canal. His report is
dated Callao, June 2. He SAYS the orig
inal estimated cost was 800, 900, 900 francs
($120, 0,O0O,0 ,0O0), and the time seven years,
Nearly half of the seven years has
elapsed and not far short OF $50. 900 900 has
been spent, exclusive of the $40. .OO0. 600 on
the Panama Railway.
There is clause in the original char
ter providing that, in case the railway
should be sold to any other corporation.
one-half Of the purchase money shall re-
vert to the United States of Colombia.
The question, whether such a sale has
been made has already been raised by
that government, but the canal company
claim that the railway corporation re-
mains the same. Probably a compro-
mise will soon be made with the United
States of Colombia, the writer SAYS.
whereby the railway company will be-
come French company.
From the best information obtainable
Lieut.. Brown thinks that not more than
one-thirtieth of the actual work neces-
sary has been accomplished. He was in
formed by an intelligent person that
material costing $4,000, 600 had been
allowed to sink into the soft marsh. and
was finally covered up. 1t is even said
that some of the material has already
been condemned and sold TO vessels leay-
ing Colon for ballast. The most serious
obstacle to the completion of the canal
is the Chagres river. Instead Of being
an assistance, as was originally pro-
claimed, that river has become the great
est drawback.
Lieut.. Brown discusses the probability
of an epidemic Of yellow fever at the
isthmus, and says the best informed
physicians anticipate one.

CITY OF CoLUMnUs SUITS.

Judge Nelson Appoints Hon. John Low
eli a Commissioner to Hear Evidence.
In the case of the Boston and Savannah
Steamship Company vs.. James Brown
and others, which was a petition for
limitation Of the liabilities Of the petit
toner for loss Of life and property In
CURED by the wreck Of the steamer City
Of Columbus, says the Boston Globe Of
the 4th instant, two supplementary
petitions have been filed BY The steam
ship company in the United States District
Court. The first prays the court to ap-
point commissioner in the case under
admiralty rule "A, TO hear evidence and
make report to. the court, first, as to
whether the Boston and Savannah Steam
ship Company is liable for the loss alleged
to have been sustained by the wreck Of
the City Of Columbus; and second, il 1t Is
determined that the company IS so liable,
whether the loss was incurred without
the priority or knowledge Of the said conf
pany.
The second petition requests the court
TO appoint commissioner, under admi-
rally rule 50, before whom proof Of all
claims presented in pursuance Of the
mOnitions issued in the above case may
be made, and who shall upon compIetiop
OF said proofs make report to the court Of
the claims so proven.
Judge Nelson granted both petitions.
and appointed Hon. John Lowell Commis-
sioner IN both cases.

TESTING CANNON.
A French Experience with Heavy Ord
nance-What Followed an Explosion.

A French Experience with Heavy Ord
nance-What Followed an Explosion.
Since the memorable bursting of the big
gun on board the United States man-of-
war Princeton in February, l84S, by which
the then Secretary of State, the Secretary
of the Navy, Commodore Kennon and
others were killed, says the Boston Adrer-
tiser, we have had a fortunate exemption
from such serious disaster. The care
taken in testing cannon limits the danger
attending their explosion. The latest
proof of this is shown in the views given
by L'IlluStrdtt0n of Paris of the results
of the recent bursting q the monster can
non in the battery of st. Addresse.
HaYre. This was the largest piece of ord
nance constructed in France since 1870,
and was destined for one of the metallic
turrets projected for the coast defenses of
the country. Experiments had been safe
" tried with it for a fortnight under the
charge of a corps of experienced artiller-
lists, and at last Gen. EAYOcate, Chief of
the Ordnance Bureau, came down to wit
ness the final test. Four trials were made
with the enormous gun, which measured
240 millImetres, the charge used being So
kilOgrammes. 1t was then noticed that
there was a slight detection in the bear
ings, the result of a flaw, which was not
considered important. On the next dis
charge the explosion took place, the
breach Of the cannon being forced back
ward, and buried in the ground to the
depth Of seven feet. The huge barrel Of
the gun shot forward like an arrow and
plunged from a height Of about 80 feet
upon the beach below. Fortunately no
serious injury was done to the officers in
charge, though one of the gunners had his
face burned by the powder. A good deal
Of time had been consumed before a gun
carriage could be constructed strong
enough to stand the st ain Of the first ex-
periments, and it is shreWdIy suggested
that the last showed that the attention
given to the supports Of the cannon would
have been better bestowed upon the con-
struction of the hoops of the breach, the
rupture Of which caused the bursting Of
the monster gun.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The first session
of the Forty-eighth Congress is expected
to close tomorrow AS the business for
which the two houses will then meet is ac-
cording to the present programme SIMPLY

PRINCE vICToRs wINDTALL.
The Mystery of PIon PIon's Sons For
tuna

The Mystery of PIOn PIOn's Sons For
tune.
Prince Yictor's windfall is still
shrouded in mystery, says a Paris special
to the London Times, All kinds Of
sources have been attributed to the
alleged income of 1000 francs year. 1t
was first stated to be a gift from NJ. Moet-
Auban, next of Princess Mathilde, and
then Of the Empress Eugene, but all
these statements have been positively con-
tradicted. An eX-Minister of the Empire,
however, confides the following to me :
You have mentioned Prince Victor's
allowance, but you have been
misinformed as to the source Of
it. : / can tell you where it really comes
from, especially as the source is
highly honorable. This annuity is simply
the fruit of an engagement entered into
by ten Bonapartist Deputies, and placed
in the hands of NJ. Jolibois, to pay each of
them 1900 francs per annum to Prince
Victor. l cannot tell YOU whether this
engagement has been contracted for a
fixed period or not; but this 1 will say. it
is contracted and in course of execution.
Nothing in exchange has been asked from
the young Prince; but there were reasons
for creating this annuity, and the
reasons are connected with the
next elections. Most of the
Bonapartist Deputies know that
their election might be jeopardized if they
associated themselves with Prince Ma
poleon, whose unpopularity might wreck
them. And yet they cannot take their
stand on the imperial principle without
personifying 1T. On the other hand, so
long as Prince Victor remained with his
father the latter would not let Prince Vic
tor for moment serve as a rallying point
without obliging him to disclaim such a
position. The young Princes partisans
know that as long as Prince Napoleon
lives Prince Victor would never raise his
standard against his father.U

Why the Cup that FoxhalI Won was
Put Under Lock and Key.

Why the Cup that FoxhaIl Won was
Put Under Lock and Key.
1t was learned yesterday at the custom
house, says the New York Morning Jour
nal, that the golden cup which was pre-
sented by Queen Victoria to James r.
Keene, the owner of Foxhall, which won
the grand race at Ascotin 1882, was liable
to be forfeited to the government for the
non-payment Of duties. 1t appears that
IN July last the cup was sent from Lon
don, and that on its arrival a. this port
after the statutory limitation of twenty
four hours 1t was sent to the Laight
street government stores. When speak
ing of the affair yesterday the Collector
said: 'Mr. Keene's cup is valued
at E5O0. 1t has been stored for
year, and, OF course, under the law. am
compelled to announce its sale. re-
gret to do this, but it is my duty. / be-
lieye negotiations have been pending for
the release Of the cup. j understand that
Mr.. Keene has had communication with
Secretary F0lger on the matter, but / have
received no official notification on that
subject. | believe Mr.. Keene claims
that the cup should be taxed cnly AS a
work OF art. / have maintained that it
came under the head Of manufactured
metals The difference between the two
duties would be about 81 ,000."
The cup is in the shape of a Jockeys
cap inverted, is of solid gold, and weighs
seven pounds and eight ounces. It Is
decorated with miniature golden figures
of the race of Atalanta, and its general
appearance In point OF establishment Is
beautiful in the extreme.
