preacher is fine singer as we'll. We learn
that arrangements ARE sought to be made
to secure his services for this place and

points is almost annihilated. II seems
to us the Presbyterians also might be abla
to make similar arrangement.

Railway Company to build ship railway In place OF
lhe unfinished part Of the Panama Canal One Of the
directors OF the Tehuantepec Company who is also
of It's largest stockholders, said to-day, when
questioned about the matter:
"The scheme Is for our company 70 take hold Of the
canal aud on tho forty-two miles Of the route. whero
they have done little work, to build ship rail-
way. The estimated cost Of building the canal for
this distance Is S160 100000 Our company can
build the ship railway this forty-two miles for
s4O,OOOOOo. Before we could lend credit to tho
canal enterprise, or put our money Into It. We would
want the best kind Of guarantee. Tho Do Lesseps
concern being little better than bankrupt would
ask for the guarantee Of the French Government I
have little doubt that company. with plenty of
money and good credit, should mako proposition to
the Canal Company to complete their work. so that
the stockholders could got some OF their money back,
popular feeling the question would compel II to
accept our proposition l believe. Of course, that
thee would be money in tho enterprise at $40 00o"
