There is a probability that the inhabi-

tury will be able TO go from New York
to London by rail. It is not to be ex-
pected that any one win go this route to
save time, for he win be obliged in trav-
rsing it to go westward, and thence
around the globe; but it would give the
traveller an opportunity to visit many
foreign countries, and literally to see the
world. An ocean steamer has already
made more than 900 miles in one day,
and the Atlantic is now traversed in six
days, while the proposed trip around the
world would require perhaps double or
triple this time; but the novelty of the
trip would be something remarkable.

Raise Their Cry Against the State.
Park.

Judge Smith and E. w. Huffcut, of
Minneapolis, were before the state judi
eiary committee. They attended on be-
half of the property owners, whose land
was condemned in the selection of a
state park at Minnehaha Falls. Their
4plea was (U that the ,appraisement of
the land is much below its value, and
f25Jthat state park IS unnecessary. E.
D. Huffcut addressed the committee at
length. There were 113 acres con-
demned. which had been appraised at
$4,000. This was claimed to he below its
value. Mrs. Lincoln was one of the
property holders. The land cost her
husband $4,000 twelve years before the
date it was appraised, and the appraise-
ment placed its value atSl5.000, nOtWith-
standing the enhanced value by the
growth of Minneapolis during those
twelve years. Mrs. Johnson'S was an
other case. Her land was appraised at
Sl,250, and but a few weeks prior to that
time she was offered $500 for IT. There
were many more such instances. The
assessment of the whole property was
100000, and yet it was appraised at
SSS,C00. The people had taken the mat
ter to the courts. They had not, in
their opinion, secured justice; and. as 4
last resource, made an appeal to the
legislature. The land was at least
worth $4,000. He characterized the
scheme for state park as originating
from the greed of spectators in land.
X. G. Evans, on behalf of the Mime
apois park board, asked that further
consideration of this matter be deferred
until that board could bring before the
1f,af tfN
make. He denied that this state park
was speculative scheme. 1t was de-

Supervising Inspectors Adopt
New Rules for Navigation ON
Western Rivers.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-The board of
supervising inspectors of steam vessels
concluded it's annual session to-day. A
resolution was adopted advising towing
steamers on Western rivers to carry
two white lights, one above the other,
three feet apart and fifteen feet above
the hurricane deck, when towing. An
amendment was adopted creating new
section NO. pa to rule 5, of the general
rules and regulations, requiring, after,
April I, 1889, that all stern wheel
steamers over twenty tons burden.

that wires leading to the stopping or go

the Illinois shore at the harbor of Mo-
line and pool of the Moline Water
Power company, the conditions are
such as to prohibit the extension ofsthe
canal along the water front of Moline,
and it becomes necessary, therefore, the
report says, to make two independent
canals connected by a section of the
river, in order to continue navigation to
the foot Of the rapids. The most direct
and feasible route for this part of the
Improvement would be down the out
/. side of Rock and Benham islands. 1t
would be about three miles long and
have a width of from 200 to 800 feet, with
one and possibly two locks, the
river channel connecting the two
canals canals being deepened to six
meeting. channel would open into the
main channel of the river and permit
either canal to be used independently
OF the other, and afford easy entrance
TO the harbor of Moline. The total cost
Of the whole Of t this ii improvement is
placed at about $4,00O.000. But it being
thought practicable at moderate cost,
sthe report says, to obviate many of the
difficulties existing in the navigation
OF the rapids, especially to render them
navigable at night, the board presents
a plan of the local engineer officer, in
which the desired improvement is to be
attained by guide piers. with lights and
day beacons attached, and, in addition
: to eXcavate anu remove the rock at
various points so as to widen and
straighten the channel at the
crooked parts of the rapids;
also to deepen the channel where
necessary; to build dams where re-
quired to equalize the slope and to re-
move 10y dredging the present accumu-
lations of sand and gravel. 1t is esti-
mated that such work would cost $780,,
GOO. The report continuing says the
board is adverse to the construction of
ulateral canal at this time, and is of
opinion that the existing navigable
channel OF Rock Island rapids should
be improved to such an extent as to
make the passage over them as reasona-
bly, safe by night or day as the natural
conditions permit. The above plan
tthe second one mentionedD, which is
recommended by the board to accom-
plish this, will furnish, the report says,
the relief Immediately called for in the
interests of navigation. Both the chief
OF engineers and tie secretary of war
agree in the conclusions of the board.
