the snIP CANAL PnoJEoT.
Something Tangible Hoped for as n Re

suit OF a Government survey.
WASHINGTON, August 25.-The pro-
iect of a ship canal from Lake Erie 20
the Ohio river has had advocates for
many years both in and out Of Congress
and opponents as well. The first prac-
tical step toward the solution OF the
engineering problem is taken in the
River and Harbor appropriation act OF
this year, requiring the Secretary OF
War TO appoint a board Of army engi-
neers to make q survey OF the different
routes proposed and report to the next
session OF Congress as TO the prsctics-
bility Of the project and its cost.
Three routes are proposed-from
Erie to Pittsburg, from Cleveland TO
Marietta, and from Toledo TO Cincin-
natl. There already is an sll-water
way for canal boats over the two latter
of these routes, and the cost OF widen
ing and deepening the channels and
putting In locks so as TO accommodate
vessels OF $50 tons burden is what IL Is
sought to ascertain.
While the floating Of great vessel,
without unloading from lakes to gulf
is fascinating conception, the oppo-
nents Of the expenditure urge that the
vessels built so as to navigate the lakes
would be helpless and useless after they
were brought into the Ohio and Missis'
sippi rivers, and vice versa with the
river craft in the lakes.
On the other hand, it is argued that
an all-water route for Michigan iron
ores and the Pennsylvania and Ohio
coal supply is the only thing that will
enable the Western Pennsylvania and
Ohio iron manufacturers TO compete
with the fast developing industry In
the South. Advocates OF the project
see prospects of an immense growth oil
water traffic IL IL is completed. Some
authoritative settlement of these con-
flicting opinions is hoped for from the
work Of the commission TO be ap-
pointed.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August ga
more disconsolate set OF ball players
than the Pittsburg team can hardly De
imagined. They are all broken up, and
IL seems it is impossible for them to get
together. II by chance they Should
win game, the public can credit 1t
mostly to luck, as Under the present
state OF affairs it will be impossible for
the team to play ball.
Manager Buckenberger, who seldom
has anything to say for publication,
when asked by the Chronicle Telegraph
for an explanation Of the rocky ball
playing, said, after some hesitancy: 81
don't care to 90 into the newspapers In
regard 10 the team, but IL must be ap-
parent to all that we cannot play great
ball with the present team. We are al
broken up. What club is there In the
league that can win when they are
minus q shortstop and third oasemanP
Why there has been at least 25 balls
that got through the infeld this week
and counted for singles that should
have been outs. Take Long and Nash
from the Boston team, or Jennings and
McGraw from the Baltimore team, With
practically no enc TO ill their places,
and where would they be? Our pitch
ers are In fairly good shape, but we
only have three, and we cannot take a
man out II he is being hit. tell you 1t
is hard luck. Then Stencil was spiked
in the gyme the other day, and doubt
if he will be able to play for several
days. He is badly crippled. We are
doing the best we can, and will have TO
wait until we can get the infeld fixed
Up. Weaver is doing very we'll st
short, but he is not the regular short
stop"
Buckenberger only echoes what the
other players think OF the prospects OF
the club. With the infeld broken up
even Beckley and Bauer are not play
ing their game. Beckley should have
had an error for Thomp son's two base
hit yesterday. He was the cause Of the
Philies getting several runs. Hartman
was away of, and played the game like
an amateur. Hit after hit went past
him that he should have captured.

WHEELING BEATEN
BY SIRUBRNVILLg, YESTERDAY, TO THR TUNE
OF 10 TO 8.
The Visitors Carried Too Many Guns for th' Home
Tsam-SiI Scores in One Inning and
Seven in Another.

The Huntsman base ball club, OF Steu-
benville. O., which has record OF win
ming nine out Of twelve games played
this year, came to the city yesterday
afternoon and contested with the
Wheeling base ball club at Irwin park,
South Side.
The result was that the sluggers from
up the river left the city last evening
with the scalp OF the home team dang
| ling from their belt. Five innings
poorly played on the part OF the home
| team. were ended, when rain came, pre-
venting more playing. The score was
then thirteen TO three in favor OF Steu-
benvllle, and the umpire gave them the
game.
1t seems that there Is always some
thing TO handicap the home team, for
when II is different, which has seldom
| occurred this year, they sweep things
before them. They are willing lot OF
ball players and never give up until the
last man is out, but they often 20 on
the diamond unprepared. That was
the case yesterday. 1t was scheduled
that Malcolm should pitch. The twir-
Ter could not get off work. p. A.
Sterritt, OF Washington, Pa, was put
In the box for Wheeling. He struck
the Steubenville fellows out right along,
but he is wild, and at times uses still
wilder Judgment. That and consdera-
BILE poor field support lost the Wheeling
boys the game.
Wheeling came to the bat first. Man
lev singled, stole second aud did some
| brilliant playing. Sheridan Leach got
TO third safely, aud Manley scored.
Leach scored and Finnegan, Donivan
and f. Leach got cut in succession.
| Wheeling made good start and the
crowd was delighted. SteubenvilIe
came to the bat, and as fast as they
took the stick Sterrett famed them
out. The first three got out. They
| did not come lear scoring.
Beginning the second inning things
were altered. 1t only took the first
three men from the Wheelings to re-
lieye the side. In their half Steuben-
yille made six runs. Poor pitching aud
poorer fielding was the cause OF IL. Two
| men were permitted TO go TO the bases
on balls.
The third inning was close. Neither
side scored. Three OF the Steubenvilie
players were retired in succession and
they were the first three to the bat. In
the beginning of the fourth inning
Wheeling players filed the bases. All
they did was TO score Donivan, who
was forced home by man taking his
base on balls. Then the Huntsmans
came to the bat and made seven runs.
Errors, wild throws and general poor
playing on the part of the home players
did it. In the fifth inning Wheeling
was put out as fast as they came to the
bat, and in their half the Huntsmans
did not score. The score:

Remarkable Performance OF Young
Lady in Missouri


SEDAL1A, Mo-, August 25.-A most
remarkable case Of somnambulism we'll
authenticated is reported here from
miles north OF this city. Miss Susie
Sterlin, daughter of Joseph Sterlln, has
been taking music lessons from Mary
Wiley, of this city, and the term having
expired, the teacher visited the rest
dence OF her pupil TO secure her attend
ance for another year. Miss Sterln's
parents were absent from home, and
when they returned the daughter in
formed them OF the teachers visit,
when they gave their consent for her
to continue her musical studies.
About midnight last night Mrs. Ster-
lin was awakened by hearing her
daughter leaving the house-an I'M
usual circumstaDce-and Mr.. Sterlin
was apprlsed. He followed the young
lady and was astounded al hearing her
call to her brother, who was asleep In
his room, TO awake and get letter she
had. as she wanted IL mailed at once.
Investigation disclosed that Miss Ster.
lin was In q sound sleep, but she had 10
her possession a very ineligible letter
that she mad written while asleep, ad-
dressed to her teacher, apprising her OF
having gained her parents consent 70
continue her musical studies.

Young Chief Delivers an Eloquent Address
RepIete With Love For the whites.
A delegation of Snake Indians visited
the red men of the Umatilla reservation
recently. When they started for home,
Young Chief delivered the following
eloquent farewell address to his visitors:
1--WE part tonight. Not as before, for
once hate was between u.s. Now there
is love. Once war; now peace. Once
we swung the tomahawk and aimed the
deadly rifle at each others hearts. Now
the pipe of peace we smoke to show that
the past is passed and buried. In other
ways it is different. There was a time
when some of as lay in ambush against
the whites. But we have all put aside
the implements of war and cultivate the
arts of peace. Our fathers swore eter-
nal vengeance on the palefaces. This
was because of the tradition handed us
by them of an invasion of trappers and
traders who valued not the Indian S life.
They went to the sea and found their
friends at Astoria by the great water
and left some to mourn their Indian
dead. But we live side by side with
him now, and from the rising to the
setting sun we know no foe for whom
we would put on the warpaint and
ride forth to return with scalps hang
ing at our belts. Our ponies no more
carry us to bloody attack. We the
great father at Washington as our great
chief. Him we obey. The past is for
gotten. Major Jim, go to your people
and say Young Chief sends them peace
and good will. Portland Oregonian.

A TRUE FISH STORY.
1t Is n Connecticut Product and Relates te
a Lost Bracelet and an Eel

A<Noe 1A81cAot anu an Eel
Savilian Beebe of this place made
big haul with his eel spear a few days
ago. Last July among the people who
sojourned at Essex was wealthy Gin
cinnati family. A young lady member
of this family went out boat riding one
evening, and during the trip she lost
valuable bracelet from her arm.
The bracelet was in the form of a gold
chain that fastened with hook. The
young lady was very much distressed
over the loss OF the ornament, and she
offered a reward of $40 for its recov-
cry. Fishermen searched the river bot
tom for it in vain.
A few days ago Beebe, who usually
makes about two ceiling trips to tho Con-
necticut river during the winter, hitch
ed up his horse and drove down. The
ice was rather thin ON the old ceiling
ground, and Beebe was obliged to go
about a mile up the river to Brockway's
bend. Here the ice was soft, and Beebe
began work. He worked all day like
beaver and succeeded in getting but one
very small eel.
The next morning he decided to have
fried eel for breakfast anyhow. He took
the eel down from the nail on the side
of the house, where he had hung it the
night before. 1t was frozen as stiff as a
marline spike, but he took it out into the
woodshed and in less than minute he
had its hide off.
He then ran his knife into the cells
throat and showed it toward its tail.
When about half way down, the point of
the knife struck something that refused
to be cut in two. He slashed into the
cells middle. To his astonishment,
long metal chain, as bright as if new,
lay lengthwise of the stomach.
He showed the chain to his wife.
Mrs. Beebe took the thing and exam
ined it. On the heel of the clasp the
name of the young woman who lost the
bracelet last summer was engraved.
The circumstance Of the lost bracelet
were known to the people of Salem, and
after breakfast Savilian hitched up his
horse and headed for Essex, where he
delivered the bracelet to the people with
whom the Cincinnati family boarded
and received the $50 reward. Salem

ROYAL FIandoodIe.

The United States representative for
the first time took his place in the high
est rank this week at the royal social
functions. Mr.. Bayard stood last but
one in the'small group of ambassadors
that fanked the Prince of Wales at the
queens levee. The prince on formal
occasions like this is no less strict than
the queen herself in all matters of ETH
quette. He prescribes even the smallest
details of dress. Americans who wear
ordinary evening dress at levees were
notified recently to wear white studs
and plain white gloves instead of with
black braid. His royal highness is
quick to detect the slightest irregular
ity. He noticed some fault in the uni

beyond measure by relnarking in low

A Bit of Royal Fun.

According to story which is going
the round of the French press, the queen
of Italy on New Years eve had seri-
GUS conversation with her consort as to
the critical state of affairs. I" If things
go on as they have been doing of late, "
she is said to have exclaimed, 1--WE shall
soon arrive at revolution and then at
a republic. King Hum bert did his
best to laugh away her gloomy appre-
tensions, and next morning on present
ing himself to wish her majesty hap
by New Year handed her his accustomed
gift in a dainty casket on which was
fastened label thus inscribed "To the
Citizeness Margaret of Savoy, from tbs
Citizen Humbert of Savoy. The
queen, so the story goes, was much de-
lighted at this bit of playful and affec-
tionate raillery, which had the effect
of restoring her to her wonted good
spirits.
