CAPT. EADs built the gun-boats on
the Mississippi river, which any gov
eminent engineer could have accom-
plished equally as well. The st. Louis
bridge was constructed, so IL is said,
under the direction of his subordinates.
In deepening water at the mouth of the
Mississippi he developed no new idea,
nor did he display any great scientific
genius. The mouths of the Danube
and Dnieper, in Europe, had been deep
ened the same way. He made large
sums OF money out of all these under
takings. In the deep water scheme al
Galveston he again attempted to make
millions. The river and harbor com

Mr., ALEXANDER has introduced arail
road bill in the house, which is wrong
in all of its sections and calculated to
prove disturbing and veXatious. 1t
would be far better if the legislature
would not waste its valuable time in
evincing hostility to railroads, and go
to work honestly on such measures as
are really important to the well-being of
the state. Let railroad legislation alone
for this session at least. The time spent
by the legislature in discussing these
yexatious subjects and agitating mat
ters that can be of no real benefit to the
people the state, costs thousands upon
thousands Of dollars, and generally ends
in baleful results. Let it stop.

In discussing the interstate COM

members. SENATOR VANCE wanted an
amendment added 10 the bill, providing
for pro rata freight for small and large
shipments by rail. That is, 1000 barrels
of -four should not be carried for any
less per barrel than If the shipment con-
sisted OF one barrel. SENATOR BROWN,
OF Georgia, suggested Immediately that
another amendment should be added,
providing that no storo-koeper should
sell one barrel OF flour at less price
per barrel than he would sell 1000 bar

SAN FRANCIsCo, Jan. 2S.-Anxiety
over the non-arrival of the steamer San
Pablo at Yokohama is increasing. She
is now out forty days. The ves-
sci belongs to the Oriental
Occidental Steamship company and
IS isnured for $45O,0O0. She had five
cabin passengers and ninety Chinese,
returning home for their New
Year and $4,000 in treasure. The
crew, including the officers, number
80. The excitement in Chinatown is
unusually great, owing to the number
of Chinese and the money aboard.
The officers of the company still say
there is no cause for anxiety, and
ascribe the delay TO an accident 10 ma
chinery. Other steamers have been out
| lOnger than the San Pablo.

Melville Wants to GO to the North Pol,


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. T,-Chief En-
gineer Melville, of Arctic fame, issued
to-day an address to the American pub
lie, wherein he expresses the belief that
the time is now up for the making OF a
final and successful voyage to the north
pole. The route he advocates is by way
of Franz Josef Land, and he declares
it to be entirely safe and feasible. 1t
would be, he thinks, an actual saving OF
life to make the attempt now before the
knowledge born of experience expires,
and he hints that there Is some man in
America who will use the occasion and
from his abundance supply the paltry
sum required to fit out an Arctic expe'
! dltion. This sum is $4,000, providing
the transport ship is only a chartered
vessel, or $3.50, 900 If IL be retained, which
he asserts Is not necessary. lie vii

The Coolies in Trinidad.

An Englishman who witnessed the re-
cent riot among coolies in Trinidad say:
if it were tine means of drawing public
attention to the condition of the coolies
in the island, and the n in which
they are brought there, it would not be
such u subject of regret. He writes to
the London Times: There arc in the ISL
and about 100000 coolies, in.
Guiding men, women, and children. II
is much to be feared that some of them
arc induced 10 come by means of false
representations. They are led to believe
they arc coming to q land where they
will cat the queens bread, do very little
work, make plenty of money, and where
they arc promised the free exercise OF
their religious rites. One OF these rites
consists in making parodas of various
sizes and different grandeur. according
to their respective wealth, filling them
with presents, and tlinging them into
water sufficient to carry them away and
destroy them, rs an Offering to their god.
In order to do this they have hitherto
been allowed to assemble together from
the various states and pass through the
towns on their way to the sea. The gov
ernment, however, forbade them this
year to come into the towns. fearing that
they might create riots, as there had been
some dissatisfaction among them on ac-
count of increased work and pay ut the
old rate. The poor, dcluded creatures,
not content with the rivers onthe estates,
tried to force their way through the sea.
They were stopped by the police at the
boundary and requested to turn back.
On their refusing, The police fired.
Eighty-eight were wounded and twelve
killed; among them are said to be women
and children. AS they only had sticks
they were practically unarmcd, and as
soon as the uninjurcd saw their compan-
ions fall they tlcdin great terror. The fact
is that the rest of the population is afraid
of the coolies, and so take these stern
measures to keep them down.-'%. Mmes'
