A SESSION OF THE CABINET.
Cleveland and His Advisers Consult II Long
Time On the Bond nlcstion.

Washington. Feb. 5.-The cabinet was
in session to-day before Ia O'Clock until
after 2ii5. 1t is understood that almost
the only subject of discussion was the
pending bond issue. Several prominent
New York bankers are here. among
them ], Pierpont Morgan, and, while
they have not seen either the president
or Mr.. Carlisle, it is understood that
their views on the situation We're con-
veyed to the president to-day. No au-
thoritatiVe statement of the character of
the cabinet discussion can he made, but
1t is believed that no final action has
been determined upon. 1t is understood
that negotiations with representatives
of London bankers are in progress, with
indications of an early consummation.
There is no longer any expectation of a
popular loan to be placed in this coun-
try, as in that event the experience of
the last few months would be repeated
and the gold reserve again depleted.
The purpose of the administration, 1t is
understood, is TO place the entire issue
of bonds with London bankers, who
would pay for them with London gold
and thus avoid for the present at least.
the necessity for paying out gold in eX
change for legal tenders. While no
definite conclusion has been reached, 1t
is believed that the announcement of the
sale of the bonds Will be made at an

FROM LAKE TO OCEAN.
\ Canadian Plan of Communication BE.
twecn Tide Water and Lake Superior.

The Canadian government has for
several years past been working out
Systematically a general scheme of ca
nal Improvement. This scheme. as OUT
lined by the Pittsburg Dispatch, em-
braces the enlargement of waterways
between tide water and Lake Superior,
so that the locks shall have length of
go feet between the gates and a width
of fortyfive feet, the navigable depth of
water over the sills to be fourteen feet.
Work has been steadily pushed forward,
and no year passes without seeing more
or less satisfactory progress made. The
project cherished by what is known as
the International canal commission. of
which not a little has been heard in
these recent days, is a great deal more
ambitious That scheme has in contem-
plation an extent of enlargement which
shall furnish not less than twenty-one
feet in navigable depth. AS the name
of the commission would imply, the
scheme is international in its scope.
both as to the outlay which would be
necessary and the ultimate benefits
which would accrue. Influential men on
both sides of the line are warmly inter-
csted in the project, and not little en-
thusasm has been shown, though it
does not appear as if much has yet
been accomplished in the line of practi-
cal steps toward the realization even of
the preliminary funds which such an
undertaking would necessitate. Its pur-
pose embraces, as already said, the con-
structlon of deep water channels of not
less than twenty-one feet in depth to
connect the Great lakes with the Attain
tic ocean by way of the st. Lawrence
river and also by way of the Hudson
river. Moreover, the scheme embraces
the construction of canals connecting
Lake Superior with the Mississippi river
and Lake Erie with the Ohio river. 1t
favors the establishment of an interna-
tonal commission for determining the
method of construction and maintenance
of waterways of an internation-
al character, and also the estab-
hshment of an international court
for the purpose of hearing and finally
determining, under rules of law, all
questions arising between the govern
ments of the United States, Great Brit
ain Mexico and Canada, both the COM
mission and court to be established by
the Joint action of the governments

Trade.

The first screw steamer to cross the At

in 1899. and noated in 1915. Her length
over all was 322 feet, her extreme breadth
a little over 50 feet. her depth 81 feet, and
feet 3,6lS tons. Her first voyage from
1916. and occupied nearly fifteen days, the
average speed during the run being nine
knots an hour. says the Chicago Ester

accomplished. Voyages back ami 1urtn

night, in the month of September. she was
stranded off the coast of Ireland. There she

UNION PACIFIC DEMANDS.
THEY LEAVE THE PASSENGER sIrUA.
TfON VERY Much TANGLED.
One Of the Propositions Fairly Took the
Breath Away From the Daxcd Rep
rcscntatives OF other Western
Lines-Bad Feeling Aroused.

Chicago. ILL.,, Feb. 5.--Western pas
senger affairs have gone to the bad all at
once and are now in worse muddle
than they have been at any time dur
ing the past six weeks. The Union
Pacific is the cause of the difficulty and
to say that the representatives OF the
other lines are weary of the manner In
which that line acts is putting 1t very
mildly. To begin with. @ eneral Passenger
Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific, an
nounced to-day that his line did not
intend to open UP the oregon Short
Line as was announced on Saturday
1t was first claimed that the resolution
offered in the meeting by MIR. Lomax
opening up the oregon Short Line. was
misunderstood by all the other lines and
that in reality the Union Pacific had no
intention of opening UP the line. The
other lines intimated very positively that
they had not misunderstood the resolu-
ton, and the Union Pacific then claimed
that 1t had been entrapped and that
in any event 1t would not open up the
oregon Short Line. This announcement
sent matters back with a jerk to the
original position the boycott against
the Union Pacific by the Rock Island
force and matters were worse than at
the beginning, for everybody was full
of wrath, and signs of an agreement
were far less numerous than symptoms
of a fight. The Union Pacific then de-
manded the insertion of rule in the
rate sheet. giving the impression that
rates from Missouri river points to San
Francisco and other California points
We're applicable only over its line. This
was virtually asking the other trans
continental lines to admit that the Union
Pacific was the only road between the
Missouri river and California. The other
lines lost no time in refusing this prop
osition, and there the matter rests for
the present.
The situation has been further com
plicated by the announcement of the
Missouri Pacific that 1t will not become
a member of the Western trunk lines
committee until the Union Pacific has
joined 1t.
The passenger representatives of the
Central Ira tiic Association lines met to-
day for the purpose of considering diff
ferental rates in all portions of the as
sociation territory. After a long dis
cussion. 1t was decided to allow the mat
ter to rest with a board of arbitration,
to be composed of thre members, who
are to be selected later.

INVESTIGATING Mr.. CHASE,
Only Two Witnesses Examined and Moth
ing sensational Deveiopcd--A Long
session Likely.

Topeka, kas., Feb. 5.--tSpecial) The
house committee to Investigate the
charges against Warden Chase of the
Kansas peuitentiary, examined only two
witnesses to-day and then adjourned
indefinitely to permit Representative
Painter to attend the stock yards inves-
tgation. The witnesses examined were
Asa Bum. former mine superintendent
at the peniteutiary. and Edgar Simpson,
former pit boss at the same place.
Bunn's testimony was not very damag-
ing to Warden Chase. He swore that he
himself had knowingly left the shaft in
dangerous condition In order to make
a good showing in the expense account
and confessed that he had endangered
the lives of many men after he had
been warned by the state mine inspector
to correct the danger. The inspector
had warned him that he would be wear
ing the stripes If anything happened,
and yet he had taken the chances.
Pit Boss simpson gave some damaging
testimony. however. He swore that he
had resigned because he did not regard
John Chase, son of the warden. to be a
safe man to handle the machinery over
head. He had often reported the danger

Knight and sprigg Acquitted.

St Louis. Mo, Feb 5.-'The trial of Of
cials of the Wabash and Lackawanna rail
roads charged with violating the inter
state commerce law was resumed to-day
IN the United States district court. before
Judge. Philips. The government closed its
verbal testimony and put In lot of doc.
umentary evidence in the form of freight
tariffs and various agreements. Among his
latter was one between the Wabash and;
other lines. by which the Wabash was
able to offer its shippers a continuous route
to New York. Counsel for the defense OBJ

ments. but the court, after considerable
argument, decided to admit the papers as
evidence Mr.. Block, of Buffalo, represent
ing the Lackawana road, removed the dis
charge of Messrs. Sprigg and Feld,o Cleve-
land and Buffalo, on the ground that the
offenses. If any. were committed outside

thought that the offenses We're consum-
mated whore the money represented by the
vouchers was paid. But the proof as to
Sprigg's guilt was scanty, and, he said. he
would direct acquittal as to him. The evil
dence against Milton Knight, freight traf-
hc manager of the Wabash was held to he
insufficient by Judge Philips and he was
also acquitted. The case of the other de-
PENDANTS will be argued and concluded to-
