Timely Suggestions and Recommend

Timely Suggestions and Recommends
tons by IL Committee of the House.
WASHINGTON. Feb. AN interesting re-
port was to-day submitted to the house to
accompany resolution reported by i'll
structioD OF the committee on foreign and
interstate commerce. requesting the presi-
dent to negotiate with Canada to secure the
speedy Improvement .: the Welland ana
ST. Lawrence canals so as to make them
conform i'll depth to the standard adopted
by the United States Tor its improvements
within the great lakes. The report says in
part:
Inc recent development OF the untold re-
sources OF the great Northwest has made the
productions OF that region not only a vital part
OF our internal commerce. but the leading factor
OF our foreign trade. TO facilitate this internal
commerce congress has not hesitated to vote
appropriations by millions. Its action in this
committee believes that 1t is now equally i'm
portant to take the proper steps to secure AZ
deep water outlet for the foreign commerce orig
mating in states tributary to the great lakes.
The impract;ca biiity OF deepening or improv-
Ing the Erie canal so as to admit the passage Of
large craft seems to be admitted on ali sides. 1t
is hoped that the claim that it is feasible to
construct a deep water canal from Oswego to
the Hudson is well founded. but this would re-
CURE many years for ITS execution and cost
from $40 600, 900 to 100000, OOU.' Pending
this the committee thinks the great interests in
volved should be served by other means If avail
able.
The report calls attention to the natural
Quiet by way OF the St. Lawrence river
which Canada has improved by the con-
struction OF the Welland and other canals
and demonstrates the importance to this
country of their common use by Canada
and the United States. Says the report:
If the canals were further deepened so as to
correspond with the new 500 canal, Duluth,
Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo
would enjoy all the advantages of seaboard cit
to your committee that the present time is ex-
ceedlngly opportune tor urging such action in
behalf OF the commerce of the great lakes 1t is

dian government viii shortly arrive in this city

trade relations between the two countries:

MISS HALL RETURNS.
She Refuses to Tell Where She Has Been
 in Hiding.

in Hiding.
 NoawALK, Conn.,, Dec. 12.-Banker Ru ssell l.. Halls daughter, Miss Julia Hall, who disappeared from her fathers home in New Canaan last Friday after noon, returned last night at il o'clock.
 Rev Dr. Bower, the pastor of the New Canaan Methodist church, who was at the head of party of over 100 citizens or ganized to search for the demented young lady, never lost hope that she would be re- covered alive, but her fathers less buoy ant spirits seemed to have completely de- serted him. He moaned and cried in his anguish that his daughter had wandered off into the woods and there taken her own life.
 In appearance Miss Hall has not Isuf- fered much during her fifty-four hours absence, and save for a few evidences of slight mental and physical exhaustion, in her eyes, particularly, one could hardly believe that she had been away from the ordinary surroundings of young woman in good circumstances for so long a time.
 When the first feelings of joy and thanksgiving had passed after her return an effort was made by MT. Hall to draw from his daughter some information as to where she had been and why she had gone away in such an unceremonious manner.
 Miss Hall was decidedly taciturn, even to her father and to all inquiries she paid not the slightest heed and neither by word nor gesture vouchsafed reply.

REPRESENTATIVE HOOKER of Miss issippi is very sanguine that the bill in troduced by him changing the time for the meeting of congress from December to March will become a law.

THE populites of Kansas want it understood that they are plain people. It having been proposed that a grand ball should mark the inauguration of Governor Lewelling, the populists have formally resolved, in mass meeting as sembled, that, whereas, their victory was won by the plaIn people of Kansas and was triumph over mammon wor- ship in all its forms, and whereas, the inaugural ceremonies carried on by fashionable society and under its ostentation of dress and expense, would be exceedingly inappropriate and highly distasteful to all friends of genuine social reform; therefore, that no ball be given as part of the ceremonies of inauguration.

A DISPATCH from London, received on Friday last, stated that MT GladStOne's home rule secretary, Mir AsQnith, had visited Portland prison, making special inquiries in regard to the condition of the imprisoned Irish political prisoners The late tory government-during its six years rule would not permit even an inquiry into the treatment or condi- ton of these Irish political prisoners or even recognize them as anything but convicts of the lowest order, to be dealt with accordingly. The consideration now shown them by the home secretary proves that the liberal triumph in the recent elections in England has not been without its effect on Irish affairs; and that, ere long, we may expect to be able to announce the release of the me Il whose real fault, in the eyes of the English tory judges who "convicted them, was not that they loved Ireland too wisely but that they, loved her too well for the safety of English domina- ton,

Great Telescopes.

Attention is called tn the fact that the history of the great telescopes at Mount Hamilton and at Washington will serve to lay away finally q widely published opinion which wc used to hear repeated every few wcclls-name ly, that great telescopes are of little use. The work of these two great tclc scopes (not to speak of many othcrs) has couclusivcly shown their great su- periority over less powerful instru- mcnts in every field of astronomy, in the observation of planets, ncbule, stars, comets, satellites, in spectro- scopy, and also in those departments of astronomical photography for which they are adapted. Smaller instruments have their appropriate fields, and in some of these they will always be more convenient than larger ones. But the great telescope, when properly used, is and will always be preemincnt.
