BOSTON, April THE Traveller, of this

various States and the most prominent men,
bers of Congress asking their opinions as
to the value of the canal to this country

Governors and forty members of Congress,
and are printed to-day. The Governors of
the Southern States, without exception.
either favor the government building and
owning the canal outright or extending aid
to whatever corporation builds it.
Governor Waite, of Colorado, says: THE
United States government, in conjunction
with the Central American republics, should
build this canal at national expense" Gov.
McGraw. of Washington, believes that the
United States should construct, own and
operate the canal. Governor Hogg, of Tex
as. takes very pro91ounced grounds against ;a.a
prise while under private control. He says:
This government should prohibit foreign or
private interference with that canal and
should construct, own and operate ii her
self" Governor Lewelling. of Kansas, de-
clares that it would be desirable that the
United States should own and operate the
canal as the exclusive property OF the
United States.
Representatives Bynum or Indiana, WASH

in favor of the construction. but say they

OLD OCEAN In A FURY.
A oround Swell Plays Havoc at
COney Island Resorts.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The World this
morning says: "Coney island has been
dashed by a storm for the past forty-eight
hours such as it has not experienced since
the memorable one of 1887. The rain of
Wednesday, accompanied by a hard-driving
northeasterly wind. started the music. A
high tide followed and, with the latter, a
ground swell. one such as Coney island
has rarely experienced, made things lively.
1t was high tide shortly after 4 D. m. yester-
day. AT that hour the ocean was placid
as a baby asleep. but suddenly the great
comberS developed into high-rolling waves
of green which, as they approached the
shore, broke upon the beach or against the
bulkheads in front of the Oriental.
Manhattan and Brighton Beach hotels
with a roar that could be heard far inland.
Each receding wave carried away with il
a few feet of the beach,, digging up piles
and bulkheads and undermining the smaller
pavilionS near the ocean. Between Sea
Breeze avenue and the ocean lies a strip
of Brooklyn city property, controlled by
tho park department. Yesterday an en-
gineer was sent down from Brooklyn to
find out how the property could be saved
from further inroads of the sea. The en-
gineer discovered that there was nothing
left worth mentioning save Sea Breeze
avenue, and very little of that. The rest
Of the beautiful beach had been carried
away by the waves and added to the ac-
emulation of sand known as R~ockaway
bar.

grand reception which should be thorough
ly nonpartisan' in the forenoon and termi-
nate in a big Democratic blowout I'm the
afternoon. Realizing the utter impossible
ity Of raising any enthusiasm among men,
bers of their own party, they thought to
enlist Republican aid to secure a big crowd
and then claim it all for a Democratic up
rising to greet the Governor. The purpose
was cunningly hid. but the fact remained
patent to every Republican that Governor
Matthews did not come to Elwood on nom
partisan business, nor was he here in the
Capacity of Governor of Indiana, but as a
speaker who is stamping the State In the
interest of the Democratic ticket and w.

Republicans, met him at the train. A car
Band headed the procession and escorted
him to the hotel. At the Hotel Stevenson
he shook hands with a large number of
citizens who called to see him. At the train
there was not a particle OF enthusiasm.
Gratis are not in a position or condition In

Matthews this afternoon, 154 people were In

he spoke tonight. The grand rally" was
a total failure, as only forty-seven Elwocd
Democrats were in line.

SHELBYVILLE. Ind. Oct. 25.-The big
gest political demonstration OF the cam
paign thus far took place at the opera
house this evening. Patrick O'Donnell, the
eloquent Irish orator. spoke for the Repub-
licans, and the room would not hold the
people who turned out to hear him. Hun
dreds were unable to get inside and went
away disappointed. while hundreds of others
stood up in the aisles and on the stairways
for the two hours he spoke. Fifteen men
who have heretofore been prominent among
the local Democracy occupied chairs on the
stage as part OF the committee. O'Donnell
was in his happiest humor and made a par
ticularly fine speech. His illusions TO Nc
Kinley were Interrupted with cheers and
shouting which called to mind the old
time enthusiasm OF national campaigns. The
interest, the large attendance al Republican
speakings and the number of men who are
openly changing their politics warrants the
hope expressed on many hands that the
Democratic majority will be greatly re-
duced. If not entirely wiped out in old
