homeward voyage, but while the weather
was fair. and she was sailing smoothly, the
largest sort Of confusion prevailed aboard
shin. The trouble between the Adj
mral and the Captain started
about three months ago, while th0
shin was on the South American station. II
was caused ly disagreement between Ad-
miral Gilis and the Captain about what
amount of money the ships crew should be
allowed TO draw when the men went ashore.
Captain Kingsley does not believe in giving
sailors too many dollars for a land frOlic-
i'm fact. so few dollars did he want 10 give
the RichmOnd's crew that the men drew up
a formal complaint and sent it to Admiral
Gillis. The Admiral issued an order instruct
Ing Captain Kingsley 10 allow the men 10
draw fair proportion Ofthe money due them,
retaining only enough 10 protect the Govern
ment. According TO naval regulations this
order should have been read the morning
afterwards TO the muster Admiral "illls

ried out. Capt. Kingsley did not read the or
der. and then the Admiral gave him person
al command to obtain the order he had given
him the day before and read 1t 10 the men.
This Cant. Kingsley did, and the Captain
has now preferred charges against Admiral
ellis for undue interference with the ships
affairs. Admiral ellis has, on the other
hand, preferred charges against captain
Kingsley for disobedience of orders. There
is much dissatisfaction among the crew.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Benefits 10 Be Derived by Completion Of
the Enterprise.

New YORK, April 29.-Warner Miller.
President of the Nicaragua Canal Company
has been interviewed. He says he thinks
the canal will be completed in six or seven
years if the funds are provided. The COM
pany has about 600 men working near Grey
town, all in perfect health. The canal will
create large carrying trade between the
Gulf States, the western coast of South
America, the Pacific Slope States, Australia
and many other points.
The very large tonnage of coal from Ala
bama would soon pass to points on the Pa
cifc. The entire grain trade of California.
Oregon and Washington Territory would
pass through the canal. The Puget Sound
country is the most valuable lumber region
in the world, and the East and Europe
would undoubtedly draw their supplies
theTetrOm. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts
will be in continuous development and an
untold trade will be brought about in time
The canal will do more to increase the
American merchant marine than all other
propositions now before the country The
cOastWise trade will be greatly increased.
The grain trade would increase wonder
fully. Contracts have been let to build
seventeen miles Of road from Greytown to
to the locks and the great divide. This is
necessary before the work ON the locks and
rOck-cutting can begin. The Is. locomo.
tives and all material for building the road
are being forwarded to Greytown. Active
work will begin by the 10Th of May. The
company is using every possible means to
push the work forward and to demonstrate
conclusiyely the feasibility of the route.

ARID LANDS.
Annual Report Of Major Powell on the
Irrigation Survey.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Major Powell.
Director of the Geographical Survey, has
submitted his first annual report on the IT.
rgaton survey. He says the area Of the
arid land region is 100000 square miles, or
third of the entire country. OF this at
least 10000 square miles can be economi-
cally reclaimed by irrigation, making it
worth not less than $50 an acre and adding
81, SOC, 900 to the nations wealth. He
explains the expenditure of the 100000 ap-
propriated by Congress in October, 1855,
and portion Of the S250,0O0 appropriated
in 1889.
The money was spent in a comprehensive
investigation of the whereabouts of the IT.
rigable land most eligible for redemption
and its segregation for homesteadiug; the
amount of available water; location Of reser-
yoirs and canal sites, seepage, evaporation,
etc. The typographical works consisted OF
surveys giving the features of the country,
the areas of drainage basins, etc. Tie
photographic work consisted of the meas
urement Of the rainfall, measurement Of
river flow, and the determination of the best
mode and cost of construction of dams and
canals and the areas and contents of the
reservoirs.
