NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE East Tennessee
railroad directors spent all of yesterday
afternoon and several hours to-day in ex-
amining and discussing the voluminous
papers which the attorneys have been pre-
pairing during the last week, covering the
lease of that property to the Richmond and
Danville for ninety-nine years. All the de-
tails were thoroughly settled to-day, and the
lease formally executed. The property was
Immediately turned over TO the Richmond
and Danville, and President George s.
Scott took actual possession. He at once
called the Richmond and Danville direct
ors together, and they unanimously ap-
proved and ratified the transaction. The
lease is made to date from July
last. The terms were given in a telegram
to the NEWS several days ago.
BOND ISSUE.
There will be a stockholders meeting of
the East Tennessee road tomorrow, at
which an issue of So 900, 600 equipment and
Improvement per cent. bonds will be au-
thorized. This is the same issue that was
recommended by the East Tennessee direc-
tors last August but was never put out.
There is no question about this ac-
ton being taken tomorrow, since
ownership and proxy at least five-sixths Of
the entire capital stock Of the East Ten
nessee, including the common as well as
the first and second preferred, and all the
proxies have been given expressly to be
voted favorably on this measure. While

of the Franklin Institute to-day, Com
mander H. w. Taylor. U. s. n. general
manager Of the Nicaragua Canal Construc-
tion Company, read paper describing tho
route of the proposed Nicaragua canal.
He stated that the canal could
be finished in six years, al
lowing for all possible delays. The cost
of the work is estimated at 500, ,000, 900, but
Commander Taylor thinks company with
a capital of 500, 900, 900 should be organized
to carry on the construction. This sum
would enable work to be prosecuted unin-
terruptedly. The paoer graphically de-
scribed the route, condition of the country,
and other circumstances connected with
the completion Of the gigantic enterprise.
