LONDON, March 9.-Louisa Hart,
rich procuress of the west end, was
to day committed for trial on charge

THE HENSEPIN CANAL.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The secre-
tary of war to-day transmitted to the
house the report of chiefs of engineers
Newton and Major Handbury, of the
engineer corps. in reference to tfe sur
vey of the Hennepin canal. Major
Handbury recommends what is
known as the Marais Dosier route.

million dollars less than by the other
route surveyed.
This estimate is exclusive of the cost
of the Dixon FEEDER" which is com
mon to all routes and which will cost
S1,668, ,117. Mayor Hamburg says the
Marais Daiser route is better, cheaper,
and affords better regular supply of

Newton adheres, however, to his
previous recommendation of the Rock
Island route, and says it offers the
greatest commerce advantages.
