MORE CANAL MONEY URGED

The Chief Of EngIneers OmcialIy Rec
smmends an Appropriation OF n NIL
lion and n Half.
Gen. T. L. Casey, chief OF engineers.
has completed his annual report which
will be submitted to congress IN Deccm-
Der. The report deals with coast de-
lenses. with the Chicago harbor and, in
brief. with the waterways in his depart.
ment generally.
The ultimate object Of the improve
ment of the Illinois river" Gen. Casey
says, lis the construction of ship canal
from the southern end of Like Michigan
to the Mississippi river of sufficient ca>
pacity to accommodate large sized Mis-
sissippi river steamboats, and for military
and naval purposes. There is still to be
done under this prospect the following
work: At the Ls Grange lock some
$500 yards of riprap are to be placed be.
low the dam to protect the river bottom
against scour, short pile revetment to be
built as guide to vessels at the head
of the lock and the grading and cleaning
up around the buildings to be com pleted
The greater part of this work will be
done by the regular lock force. The
Ramp sville lock and dam are to be COM
pleted and about 1000 900 cubic yards of
dredging in the pools. For this work
S212, 500 is recommended for appropri
alton.
Regarding the Illinois and Mississippi
canal the general says:
The object of this improvement is to
furnish link in the navigable water
route from Lake Michigan at or near
Chicago to the Mississippi river at the
mouth of Rock river. la view of the me-
cessary delay in acquiring rights of wav,
and to the fact that that under the pres
ent methods OF appropriation titles to
land are acquired for only such parts of
the work ss can be done under the pres,
ent appropriation, the actual work OF
construction must lag an indefinite
time after money becomes available It
is advisable. if practicable. that provision
should be made for the continuous prose.
cution and completion of the work, or at
least that title be acquired for the actual
location upon the most favorable ground
of the work throughout its length. in
o der that work may be continuous.
Under his view an estimate of 5000, 600
TO be expended as needed for the neces-
sary expenses of acquiring ii le to the
right of way of the canal throughout is
submitted, and a further estimate of
81 SOC, COO for the ectusl work of con-
struction along such right of way.
The work of construction was be-
gun in preliminary way this morning
when Engineer Wheeler in charge of the
work commenced 10 prospect for rock.

DIPTHERIA AMONG THE NAV.
 AJOES.

The diptheria is raging among the Nayajoe Indians, and great many of thar children are dying from the effects of that disease. A few days ago Navajo Indian was in Flagstaff with note, from citizen living near the reservation, which stated that the bearers family was sick with diptheria and that any aid given him would be appreciated. One ot our citizens was handed the paper, and knowing how easily the disease was spread asked the begging Navajoe fl his sick children had handled the pa- per and was told that the spotted con- djtion of the paper was due to one of the children coughing upon it. It is needless to say that the paper was committed to the james upon this ex. planation. A good many Navajoes come here to trade and it would be we'll for our citizens to exercise the utmost care in their dealings with them. Diptheria is disease almost always fatal, especially so with chil- dren, and Its contagious nature makes It one 10 be dreaded even Wors than the small pox.

We cannot concern ourselves with such matters. It is time that sectionalism ceased, and there is only one way to effect lit. It is time for the people who are tired of this policy of political ostra- cism, whether we live in the north, south, east or west, to join hands in friendship, aud make a union that is worth maintaining, and which will not have to be pinned together with bayonets. Let us nationalize the people. We don't need any Force |, bills. We don't need any standing army to sec that the people vote fright. What we need most in this direction is to see that the Union is restored as well in fact as in name by going among the southern people, black and white, and doing all that we can, and as friends of peace and good government to assist them whenever they need any assistance ir adjusting their relations among them selves in just and honorable way consulting their interests and no, those of persons living in other part of the country"

 TIE democratic senators and the democratic editors are not iD accord concerning the desirability of again making Mir. Cleveland the standard bearer of that party. If there is a single democratic Senator who cham pions the cause of Mir. Cleveland he is doing it so quietly that we have not heard of him, while nearly every demo cratic Senator has put himself on rec ord as believing that Mr. Cleveland should not be nominated. Democratic editors, particularly those controlling country papers, which as a rule closely represent the opinions of their con stituents, appear to think that Alr. Cleveland will, and should be nomin- ated.

The Wool M arket.

The Boston Advertiser of the l5 inst says: The total receipts of wool al this DOT; during the past week ccm prise B, 964 bags and bales domestic and I457 bales foreign. against To-. 3oo bags and bales domestic and 2s70 bales foreign for the same time last year. The ,,t Ire pts since January I, 1891. cOmprse iS6 o24 bags and bales domestic and 85.970 bales foreign, against ISo,o4, bags and baies domestic and 5l.Qfo bales foreign for the same time in 1890.
 The sales for the week comprise 2.o5S,ooo log of domestic fleece and pulled, and s5e,oeo lbs of foreign. making the weeks transactions foot up s.GoS, ooo lbs. against I.S5o, 800 for the previous week, and I,555,oco lbs domestic and slI,ooO lbs for, ign for the corresponding week last year.
 The past week has shown more business doing, but as nearly as can be learned, many of the safes have been made at prices lower than the wools were held for, a week ago. While many large manufacturers have enough wool on hand 10 last them several months yet, there are several others that could use wool now II the price was right, and in order to induce buying. some round lois have been claaned up at low prices compared at what the wool was held for, a lew weeks since. The market taken asa whole, Is easy for nearly all grades of domestic worls, and the feeling IS that general values will rule lower before much buying IS oene to stock up. The goods market is un- favorable for high priced wool, and, in addition to this. the money mar ket IS inclined to be stringent. Usu- ally at this season of the year dealers can get get plenty of money and at low rates with which to make their purchases in the country, but this is not the case at present.
 This slringlncy in the money mar ket will undoubtedly have great in huepce on the price of wool thls year As yet wool growers arc dis, posed to reckon on good prices for their product, and were they strong in their views for few weeks, they could undoubtedly find many buyers who would finally operate if money was on an easy basis. With money hard to come at. aud high rates of in- terest ruling, there will be more con; servatlsm shown by dealers, and pur, chases will be delayed in the country until the mills are forced to have sup plies. But little wool bought Tn the country on this clip to be sold agaln has proved profitable investmen L, as to sell these weols Tn this market, it is found that prices must be com paratively low Manufacturers have been forced to pay high prices for their territory wools during the pas, few months, from the fact that only a few were to be had, but now that the new clip is coming on, they are by no means disposed to keep values up.

 MT. Harrison might we'll have cried. "saye me from my friends" when the negro ex-congressman, J. M. Langston, got himselfin.erviewed for the purpose of saying that the main issue of the next campaign would be the "Force bill," and that Mir. Harrison was the strongest liv. ing advocate of that measure, and more of the same sort. It is only necessary for Mir. Harrison to en. dorse this position to kill himself as dead as if he never had existed. The democratic national committee would probably pay Eangston to keep it pp on this line, as they are just banker ing to make the "Force bill" one of the issues of the campaign.
 The state department has placed a special train at the disposal of the diplomatic corps, and yesterday morning all of the countries whose representations happened to be in town were fguratlyeIy put aboard a Pullman and started for Chicago, where they will be shown what has been done towards the great exposl. ton. It is expected that this visit will be productive of much good.
 Director General Davis of the Worlds Fair, was here this week consulting with department ofhclaIs as to the government exhibit at the exposition. and perfecting arrange. men,s for sending a commission abroad for the purpose of interesting foreign manufacturers and merchants in the exposition. He says success IS already assgred.
 If be true that Hon. Charles E.

The new Tula prohl pits any person who has been employed m the patent otfice appearing as agent or attorney in any case upon which he has taken any action while so en-. played, and is commended by every enc except the men it IS intended to hit--the examiners now gracticing as attorneys.
 Before leaving on speaking tour of the north and west. Senator Peter called at the white house to pay his respects to Mir. Harrison. He had an interview with MT. Daniels, cd itor of the State Chronicle of Raleigh, North Carolina, that has been much copmented on: "Ihe peoples party,'' said Senator Peffer, Twill most asspredly nominate na. tiopal ticket next year, and if we gather our forces as well all oyer the country as we did in Kansas we can easily elect a president and congress in 1892.
