day In reference to the trouble between him
and some members Of the choir:
1T was simply question Of suspending -four
members OF the choir. all Of one family. for
very good and sufficient reasons. Whom thsy
were told that they were no longer members
OF the choir they insisted that tbey were. aud
that had no authority over them. They also
asserted that the presence q . squad q police
plains the presence Of the police officers In the
church on Sunday. The report that was es-
corted to and from the cnuroh by policemen 10
not true. In the performance Of my duty fear
enters but little Into my composition. The
statement that am against the young men as
young men 10 not true. The suspended mem
bers Of the choir were not members OF the
Visitation Lyceum when that society was dis
solved. am and always have been heartily In
favor Of young mems associations. but II II 10
q church society 10 must be such In tho true
sense Of the word and not an organization
over which the clergy have no control"
Father LoughrAn does not anticipate am
further trouble with the suspended choir mem

CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE CANAL
Report In Favor of the Back.Creek Route
National Defence.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December H.
The War Department Board, consisting
OF Brigadisr-General Casey and Colonel
Craighill. OF the army Engineer Corps;
Captain Dewey, Of the navy; Mendez
Cohen, Of Maryland and l.. Porter Alex
ander. of Georgia, which has been con-
sidering the most feasible route for the
Delaware ship canal. has reported in
favor OF the Back-creek route, which is
substantially located upon the line OF the
existing canal connecting Chesapeake and
Delaware bays.
The report, which was sent to Con-
gress by Secretary Lamont to-day, pre-
sents a strong argument for the con-
struction OF this important link in the
chain Of interior navigation passing south
and north through New York harbor.
The board does not base its selection on
considerations Of cost, although IL Is the
cheapest route. but the more northerly
route Is chosen more largely on account
OF its adaptation for national defence.
which Involves more than the transit OF
vessels OF war from bay 10 bay. The
route itself must be defended. and Its
defence involves the fertilization of Its
entrances. The other route could not
be easily defended.
The present project for the defence OF
Philadelphia. proposed by the army engi-
nsers. has been Initiated. and the works
already under execution will serve for
tho eastern .entrancs to the existing
canal.
The canal. a. recommended. win have
length, measured from the port os
