FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
A Railroad That May Complicate the
Canal Projects.

CHICAGO, February 14th.-A. NJ. Ban
mister, the civil engineer who constructed
the line of railway from San Jose, Guate-
mala, to Guatemala City in 1884, said this
evening that he has advices from Central
America to the effect that a line is soon to
be constructed from Guatemala City to
Port Barrios, near the mouth OF the Mata-
qua river.
This, he asserts, means that Guatemala
is to have line of railway fom ocean to
ocean, which may seriously complicate the
Nicaragua and Panama canal projects.
The transhipment of freight across the
country will save many days and many
miles in the route from New York
to the western shores of South America. A
steamship line from Tampa, Fla, to Port
Barrios would shorten the distance still
more. According to Bannister, the eighty
miles already built covers the most diff
cult part of the roadway

CHICAGO, February 14th.-Judge Blodgett
has rendered q decision Of vital interest to
all millers using the modern roller process
While the use of rollers is old, numberless
patents on the special devices have been
granted, and some time ago four of the
leading manufacturers formed a company,
pooled all their patents, and commenced
suit against a number of millers and
manufacturers for infringement. Judge
Blodget has decided in the suit brought
against the Barnard & Leac Manufacturing
Company of Moline Ill, that these patents
can only be sustained for such special de-
vices as they cover, and that the inventors
entered the field ST so late g day that they
are not entitled to have the doctrine OF
equivalents enforced in their behalf.

The following is from the Waupaca

about Waupaca, her most enyious critic
must acknowledge that this city is the
greatest potato market in the world.
Careful estimates upon this years crop
place the total amount of potatoes raised,
and which win be marketed within a
radius Of thirteen miles of Waupaca, at
1,50O, 600 bushels. These viii sell, or have
sold, at an average price of SO cents per
bushel, or a total of $4,000 the great
majority of which viii be paid from money
outside of the State. Estimating the cost
of raising and marketing the crop at Is
cents per bushel, or S270,0o0, the farmers
receive clear profit Of s225,00O for their
years work, less the wholesale dealers
profit. OF this immense crop about 600,-
600 bushels, or LOCO cars, viii be shipped
from Waupaea, the balance going from
Scandinavia, Ogdensburg, Weyauwega and

The Rights Of the Reds and Of
the Whites Discussed.
A LIVELY DEBATE In THE HOUSE
Between Cannon and MilIiken on Apprcpria-
lions for Public Buildings Members
Are Very Much Amused.

WASHINGTON, March Ga few days ago
General Howard addressed a letter to
Chairman Perkins, of the House commit
tee on Indian affairs, in relation to the
matter of the proposed transfer of the
Apache Indians from Mount Vernon bar
racks to Fort Sill, which the committee is
considering. General Howard expressed
himself to the effect that he thought that
inasmuch as General Miles had had his say
before the committee, it should give Cen
eral Crook an opportunity to be heard.
General Howard also expressed the opinion
that the Indians should be removed from
their present location either to Fort Sill Or
the Cherokee lands in North Carolina, but
his Judgment was that Fort Sill was the
better place. Chairman Perkins mas made
the following reply:
am in receipt of your letter. In reply 1 have
TO inform you IL is not the desire of the COM
mttee on Indian affairs to become party IN
any way to the controversy or feeling that
seems to exist between The friends Of General
Crook and the friends OF General M les some
things already have been said before our COM
mttee that had no relevancy 10 the question
that we desired TO consider, and SO far as the
committee is concerned will have no influence
with us in our deliberations. We have Cen
eral Crooks recommendations and also have
been addressed by members of his
staff and by those who believe with
him that the Apaches can be safely confined on
the Fort Sill reservation. And we heard Gen
eral Miles and the delegates and representatives
from New Mexico and Arizona We think it
would be unwiSe to remove the Indians to Indian
territory. The desire of The committee is only
TO do what is fair and right in the matter, what
seems to be for the good of these Indians and at
the same time to the people OF the territories. L
believe much OF the fear that is entertained by
the settlers of New Mexico and Arizona is eXag-
gerated fear, but while considering the good
of the Indians, think it is but right to take into
consideration the wishes and inter
ests OF the thousands of settlers
who are living in these territories ana
who have their homes there and who assert that
since the removal OF The Apaches they have en-
joyed their first Securit" as settlers in these
territories Whether tn r fears are exagger-
ated and excited or not, think it is the duty of
the committee torealiZe that. they exist, and
under such circumstances it becomes quite i'm
portant for US to determine whether for the
good of those Indians, we will to some extent
at least, sacrifice the comfort ana prosperity OF
of the people of Arizona and New Mexico Old
Mexico is also opposed TO their removal to the
Fort Sill reservation, but the committee has not
vet determined What action to take in the mai
| Ter.

A Viennese Proposes to Start a.
Matrimonial Bureau
WHERE AMERICAN HEIREssEs
Can Always Find Choice Lot of Princes and
Mobiles of Pure Pedigree for sale
at Reasonable Prices.

Especial TO THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch1
New YORK, March ct will not be-
necessary in the future for American
heiresses to journey to Europe to secure
mobiles for husbands if an ingenious Wen
nese can find anyone in this country to act
as agent. This gentleman, who gives his
name as Anton Saller, has whole stock
of princes, lords and military officers of high
degree who are anxious to marry to Amer
lean heiresses.
Lawyer William p. Burr, of 800 Broad
way, was recently surprised to receive a
letter from Mr.. Saller in which the latter
begged him to act as his matrimonial agent
in this country. He said that he had heard
of Mr.. Burr from Prince Rohan and Ar
thur Goryenyi, OF Vienna, who had met
him in that city, and hoped ne could induce
him to become interested in little project
by which they both could make considera-
bic money. Prince Roman died shortly
after his arrival at Vienna, but previ-
Gus to this told MIR. Saller that
if he lived he would return to America and
endeavor to win the heart of an American
heiress named Miss AstOr, whom he met
at seaside resort here. The death of the
prince suggested the idea that another
prince might do just as well. He found
TWO IN vienna VINO are anxious TO marry
American heiresses. One, he says, is
closely connected with the royal family of
Austria while the other is not so noble
The latter, however, does not care what
his future wife may look like so long as she
mas money, but the former wants beauty
and wealth. The letter goes on to say:
Write me few lines. 1t does not need
to be an Astor, but a young lady who is
rich and of good family. as the prince is
young, of good family, tall, good looking,
strong and without deOts. Prince Murat
would have married an American lady but
the question of money knocked it in the
head If anything can be done in this
matter write me few lines and I
will come to America with the best
of references in company with the two
princes 1 ask you 70 be open aud honest
in the matter. If it could be done, write
me at once with details"
Two days after the receipt of this letter
another was received from the same
source. The ambitious Saller urged Law
yer Burr to hurry up and secure the two
| heiresses.
The proposed marriage of Prince Murat
to an American heiress which ne refers to
was the engagement of Miss Gwendoline
Caldwell, of Baltimore. When the settle
ments were being arranged prior to the
proposed marriage, Miss Caldwell offered
the prince $4,000 year. He declined
both the money and lady, at the same time
