the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. The
consummation of the work, whose feasi-
bility has already been demonstrated, is
asserted to be of far greater Importance
to the western hemisphere than the Suez
canal is to the eastern. 1t is said that
no precedent can be cited upon which to
predict the future of American commerce
when the gateway of the Intet-Oceanic
canal across Nicaragua shall be open
to it.
The biggest dredging plant in America,
that formerly used at Panama, has b. en-
purchased, and over mile of the canal
has been dredged. The exclusive fran
chise of the steam navigation of the San
Juan river and lake Nicaragua and an
extensive plant for the navigation COM
pany have been acquired. The govern
ment of Nicaragua has acknowledged
that the company has complied with
the canal grant, which provided that
100000 must be expended the first
year. 1t is shown that the amount OF
money spent to date on the enterprise is
over $6,000,000. The enterprise is en-
dorsed by the leading business men OF
the country, and that it will be judi
ciously and economically managed is
assured by the character of the board OF
directors who, by the charter of the

A True story.

The Philadelphia Times has letter
from Col. Pat. Donan written at Astoria,
from which we clip the following true
story: ''Such a fishing ground 1 never
saw anywhere else on earth, and the
pitiful little fish stories one hears mis-
guided eastern people trying to tell
make me seasick. Five weeks ago last
Monday fishing party was gwen to me
by J. o. Hanthorn. one of Astoria
wealthy cannerymen. We went in

gentlemen and four ladies. Among the
number were two Episcopal clergymen,

T. A. Hyland, of New York. am a
trihe particular, as you see, in my mem
ton of them. We started between eight
and nine O'Clock in the morning, and
returned at five O'Clock in the afternoon.
and we brought back 23,lo0 pounds of
fish. That sounds big, does it? Well,
it is exactly the size of the truth. We
had 700 fish that averaged thirty pounds
each, and 300 that averaged seven pounds
each. Now, go to Pat with your Lillpu-
tian fish tales"

qua canal by shortening the route to
Atlantic ports would not only save the
producer cost of freight but the revenue
nearly $4,000, 900 on wheat alone. It is
shown that there are 00,000,GOO thous-
and feet of merchantable timber in Wash
ington and Oregon to the value of which
over 50 per thousand feet would be adj
ded by cheap water transportation via
the Nicaragua canal. The gross
addition to the value would amount to
the enormous sum of 81 900 900, 600, even
at this low estimate of 81 additional
The fruit industry would quadruple in
two years from the opening of the canal
for business and fast refrigerator steam
ers would deliver fruit to New York in
ten days, to Liverpool in fourteen days,
and to New Orleansin eight days. The
mountains of the Pacific coast are rich
in lead, copper, silver and gold, while
the plateaux and valleys afford cereal
belt with soil more durable, and more
( favorable seasons for seeding and har-
vesting than any part of the world, and
the committee thinks the completion of
the Nicaragua canal is only needed to
develop that country to production of
gigantic proportions and double the
population of the Pacific coast in few
years.
Among the beneficial results foreseen
are more practical drawing together of
the remote parts of the vast domain of
,1,o -
widely-separated sections of the United
States, added TO a stronger feeling of
neigh borhood and community between

company, are accountable to the govern
ment of the United States. The secretary
of the interior has the power to make
public all the details of the corporate
management, thus protecting the in
vestor against misuse of the money
The Suez canal, it is shown, saves only
$500 miles around the Cape of Good
Hope, as against 10000 miles saved by
the Nicaragua canal.
The committee says it is no longer a
question whether the canal will be built
or not. The only question is as to who
shall build it, and who shall control it
when built? 1t says it has been in
formed that European syndicates have
already made overtures to the canal
company, but the committee believes
the United States cannot afford by care
lessness, hesitation or neglect to permit
an enterprise OF such magnitude and of
such far reaching advantage to pass un-
der the control of any foreign company.
1t therefore behooves u.s. the address
concludes, Gas nation conscious of the
power we WELD and of the greater influ-
ence we may exert upon the destinies OF
this continent, TO perform the duties
without delay which we deny other ma
tions the privilege of assuming, and to
adopt now the best means of securing

advantages we are willing to share with

most Important commercial, strategic
ard patriotic reasons, and declares that
the only feasible route for such a canal
is by way of Nicaragua.
1t appears that all the engineers have
agreed in expressing decided preference
for the Nicaragua route, because, among
other reasons, only 2634 miles of the
entire distance of 1691a miles from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ocean through
Nicaragua, will have to be excavated.
The other 1929 miles consist of Lake
Nicaragua, the San Juan river and de-
pressions in the surface of the earth.
Lake Nicaragua will constitute harbor
sufficient to accommodate the navies and
commerce of the world 1t is 100 miles
long, sixty miles wide and is 250 feet at
its deepest points. Vessels entering the
canal from the Atlantic ocean will sail
on level with the ocean for 1234 miles,
at the end of which they will be raised
by three locks to the level of the lake.
They will sail along the San Juan river
and the lake on the lake level to point
within three and one-half miles of the
Pacific ocean. Here they will be low
cred by the locks to the level of the Pa
cific ocean.
The committee says the cost, includ-
ing the payment of interest during the
progress of the work, will be less than
500, 600 900, and the time required for
the completion of the work is within
five years.

The address shows that the distance
saved by the canal between New York
and the Columbia river is 5,665 miles.

THE SCREW STEAMER WINS.
Race between Two of the Great Sound
Steamers, Puritan and Peck.

1sace Between Two OF the Great Sound
Steamers, Puritan and Peck.
/ New YORK, Oct. S.-A sight rarely
witnessed on the waters of Long Island
sound was seen this morning in race
between two of the mammoth steam
boats that comes to this city. The race
was between the Puritan of the Fall
River line and the Richard Peck of the
New Haven line. 1t was test between
different systems of marine machinery,
and to determine the relative qualities
of the compound beam engine that goes
| with the sidewheeler and the modern
triple expansion engine that drives the
twin screw propeller.
The Puritan is side-wheeler, one of
the largest floating sound palaces, and
the Richard Peck is the first screw
steamboat to go in service on the sound.
She was built on the Delaware river and
has only been in service month. The
agents of the Fall River line sent chal-
lenge to the people of the New Haven
line to test the speed of their fast boats.
The challenge was accepted, and it was
decided the race should be between a
point near Stratford shoals to Fort
Schuyler, distance of Sc miles.
The Peck left New Haven at 10 80
O'Clock last night. When she got into
the sound she slowed up and waited un-
til the Puritan came up and the boats
were stem and stem. Then they started,
and for the first fifteen minutes neither
seemed to gain an inch on the other.
The passengers on each boat shared in
the excitement, and though the weather
was cold and rain was falling, most of
them remained on deck. Finally the
Richard Peck began to forge slowly
ahead. Gradually the distance between
the two boats increased, and at last the
Puritan was left far astern. When the
Richard Peck passed Fit. Schuyler the
Puritan was u mile and half astern
and had lost the race.

An Original Fancy Costume.

At q recent fancy ball in Washington
an ingenious young woman went as the
meteorological bureau. On her head
she wore silver helmet, crested with
weather vane. Her waist drapery was
confined with close fitting blue bodice,
ornamented with white stars and bor-
dered by rows of real silver dollars
This bodice was laced in front over a
thermometer in which the lady kept the
mercury moving up and down in an ex-
cited manner. To further carry out the
vagaries of our climate she wore from
her shoulders heavy bearskin cape
from Montana, while her frilled skirts
were of the lightest China silk-Phila-

Pleasures of an Allowance.

Every girl and woman should each
month have regular allowances. to do
just as she pleases with it. Parents who
never refuse their daughters anything
they desire have no idea how cruel they
are when they make woman ask for
every cent she gets and tell what she is
going to buy with it. The lack Of a
regular allowance crushes the most gen
erous and the most natural instincts.
The girl who has no allowance misses
many pleasures in life. She never knows
what it is to save up, to deny herself
some things in order to buy some one a
gift. She has no idea Of the excitement
arising from spending all her allowance
the first week and pulling along on moth
ing the other three weeks. This is quite
the usual thing, especially when she
first has her allowance Philadelphia

AFew-Promiscuous Questions.


EDITORS HERALD: From Judge Wild
ney's standpoint as to the qualifications
of "M. Co. so heartily endorsed by the
Republican machine, being in sub
stance, she must be an expert manlpu-
lator, and very handy in grabbing ap-
propriations," could we not, as an an
tidote, persuade Mr.. Buckley to return
to America and defeat their candidate.
(The fact of his not being resident OF
this district cuts no figure, according to
the late Republican primaries.)
If our repre- sentative in the United
States senate, who carries California's
political strength in his vest pocket, re-
quires our M. O. to sneeze when he
takes snuff, should we blame poor Van
dever and Bowers for the millions they,
did not get for San Pedro, when their
boss informed them that he had con-
cluded to ''pull in his stage plank at
San Pedro" and throw it out at Santa
Monica canon? And, if Judge Widney's
ideal machine appreciation grabber
should disappoint you, for the same
reason, is there but one appropriation
to ask for, namely, set of wheels to
put under our new postofiice, to roll it
back adjoining the Llndley market, on
Broadway? C"And why shouldn't he 2"

As a matter of fact, what benefit
would ten or twenty millions more spent
at San Pedro be to ne, if company
can throw out their stage plank at Re-
