PROPOSING TO CONNECT THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
AND THE GULF OF MEXICO.
The y. Y. World says: The project OF the At
lantic and Mexican Gull Canal company 10
connect the waters of the Atlantic with those
OF the Gull OF Mexico by the construction of n
canal through the northern part of the Florida
peninsula is gaining much favor I'm this city.
The expense OF cutting such a canal will bs
comparatively small. The course is througt.
the ST Mary river, Lake Okeefinokee and tho
Florida swamp To the gull coast, leaving only
b miles of actual cutting TO be done and this
through a soft, sandy soil. The estimated cost
of the work wall be 81 ,oo0,0U0. The route Was
surveyed by Gen. Gilmore Ior the governments
while Gen. Grant was President and if was
made the subject OF a very favorable report.
The saving in distance between New Orleans
and the east will be over eight hundred miles.
This canal would be the channel through which
the products OF an immense region dependent
on waterways for the transportation to eastern
markets would find AN outlet In the present
state OF things the cheap transportation agri-
cultural produce from the west does not seem
TO be sufficiently provided ior, and, as a matter
of tact, the Mississippi valley presents the anou-
aous condition OF being one OF the richest
countries In the world in products, and vet
the poorest In proper facilltes Tor their
distribution. Thus last year, of the amount
left unsod because OF the lack OF transpor;s.-
tion. some was applied 10 inferior purposes or

The National Banks.


FACTS AND FIGURES FROM CONTROLLER TREN-
HOLMS ANNUAL REPORT.
The annual report Of VIM. L. Trenholm
controller Of the currency, will suggest various
amendments OF the national bank laws. The
report will state that three thousand five hum
dred and eighty national banks have been Or
ganlzcd, Of which 1855 are now in operation:
of these liza have been organized during the
past year. with capital of $2l 100000.
TWenty-fOur banks went into voluntary liuui-
dation during the year, one ceased to exist by
expiration OF charter and eight failed. Since
the beginning Of the system in 1868 only 12
national banks have failed. OF these thirty
eight have paid their creditors in full and
twenty have paid interest, besides fifteen in
full and five in part. The contraction in national
bank circulation during the year exceeds $751;
have increased from 1922 OOU, 900 in January,
1866, to 81, ,173 600 600 in October 1886, WI hile

Mr.. Trenholm declines to say whether his re-
port contains any specific recommendations in
regard TO modification OF the law making
United States bonds the basis OF the national
partment that he has presented strong array
OF facts and figures showing how valuable the
system has become to the entire country, and
now important 1t Is that 1t should be made
adaptable TO the needs Of communities in the

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The Live Stock commits
sion received word yesterday that some cattle
at Ridgeand were affected with trouble of SINH
lar nature TO the disease among the cattle at
that place two years ago, and TO which the
pieuro-pneumonla, as existing in Chicago, has
been traced by the veterinarians. A veuerina-
rian Vas ordered 10 examine the cattle and put
such as had symptoms of pleuro- pneumonia in
quarantine. member of the commisso is
authority for the statement that there are
nearly 1000 head OF cattle scattered over the
city, in small herds, which will have to be
slaughtered by the state, in addition to nearly
5000 head under quarantine at the distillery
sheds. The appraised value Of the entire lot
will probably reach Sl25, 200. and IL is doubt
full whether one-half OF that amount can be
realized on the sale OF the meat of such car
casses as pass inspection. The expenses of in
spection and maintaining quarantine, which
have been partly met by the federal govern
ment, are said TO have amounted to nearly
$4,000 up to the present date, while the finan-
clal losses that have resulted to the state and TO
Chicago because OF the inability to immed diately
suppress the existence OF the disease could not
be approxiInated with any degree Of correct
ness.

NAVY YARD DKSMISSALS.
Over Forty Men 10 be Discharged by
Order Of Secretary whitney.

After completing his annual report Secretary
Whitney resumed the routine duties of the
Navy department few days ago, and learned
that the letter of the order OF October 1st, turn
ing over all the departments to the ordnance
department at the Washington navy yard, had
not been compiled with. While the greater
portion OF the workmen had been discharged in
accordance with that order, it was ascertained
that advantage had been taken of the provi-
sion for Keeping enough force to pack up the
goods of the separate branches for transporta-
ton elsewhere, to retain the civil establish
ments in the various departments. He
has therefore issued another order direct
Ing the dismissal of all the employees
in the civil establishments with the ex-
ception OF the foreman and one clerk of
each department. The work Of packing up
tools, material, &C., will be done by employing
as many iaborers as may be necessary. The
Secretary did not believe in retaining clerks,
W;stchmen and messengers to do laborers' work.
Inc discharges will take effect tomorrow or
the hrst OF next week. A dozen employees
under the bureau OF yards ana docks and about
thlrty under the steam engineering bureau will
be included in the discharge, as we'll en-
plOyeS under other bureaus whose departments
at the Washington yard have been abolished.

A special to the Chicago Times from the City

feeling greatly disheartened and put out at the
publicity given his alleged debauch at his new
post, and says 1t is reliably reported that he

ment that no report in relation to the alleged
debauch OF Minister Manning in the City of

manning or the secretary ot the legation there.
In tact, nothing is known OF the matter at the

SENATORS WHO HAVE CHARGE OF THE AGRI-
CULTURAL INTERESTS IN CRAMPED QUAR-
TERS
The Senate committee on agriculture and
forestry has grown SO much in Importance that
larger quarters are deemed necessary for its
purposes. 1t has occupied the small room on
the west side OF the basement corridor near
the northern exit. Since the consideration and
passage of the OleOmargarine bill Senator Mil.
ler, the chairman, has contended for more
roomy quarters. Finally, the committee on
rules decided to remove the stationery outfit
from the room adjoining that OF the committee
on agriculture and permit the latter to have
the two rooms. The stationery stock was re-
moved TO the room just opposite, On the east
and west corridor, and the folding hands trans
ferred from the latter room to the sub-base-
fnent Immediately beneath. But now Senator
Miller complains that the additional room will
not do unless the partition between the two be
torn down us to throw the two into one.
Architect Clark, of the Capitol, after examin-
ing the premises. has decided that only the
middle portion OF the partition wall can be re-
moved, as that wall supports the pillars OF the
marble room just above. Enough OF the parti-
ton can be taken out to leave free passage way
between the two small rooms, but the heavy
portions TO the right and left must remain. as
their removal would endanger the structure

Nj. de Quatrefages, the naturalist, has
examined real phenomenon, Proven
cal of thirty. named Simeon Aiguier,
who had been presented by DR.. Trenes.
Aiguier, thanks to his peculiar system
of muscles and nerves, can transform
himself in most wOndrous fashion. He
has very properly dubbed himself
IL HommeProtee." At one moment,
assuming the rigidity of statue. his
body may be struck sharply, the blows
falling as on block of stone. At an
other he moves his intestnes from above
and below and right to left into the
form of large football and projects it
forward, which gives him the appear
ance of a colossally stout parsonage. He
then withdraws it into the thorax OPEN
ing like cage, and the hollow look of
his body Immediately reminds one of a
skeleton. Aiguier successfully initiates
man subjected to the fortunes of the
rack, as also man hanging himself,
and assumes a strikingly cadaveric look.
What most astonished VI. de Quatrefages
was the stoppage of the circulation of
the blood, now on the left and now on
the right side, which was effected by
muscular contraction. - Boston Tran
