A CANAL TO THE LAKES.
A Commission to Confer With Repre-
sentatives of Grent Britain.

sentatives of Grent Britain.
1t is expected that the President will
shortly appoint commission of three ger
SONS to confer with a similar commission
to be appointed by the government of Great
Britain on the subject Of the construction
of ship canal between the great lakes
and the Atlantic ocean. Provision for an
International commission Of this kind was
made by the sundry civil appropriation act
approved March 2, 1895. Under that act
the President was authorized to appoint,
Immediately after the passage Of the act,
three persons, who shall have power to
meet and confer with any similar commit
tee which may be appointed by the govern
ment Of Great Britain or the Dominion of
Canada, and who shall make inquiry and
report whether 1t is feasible 10 build such
canals as shall enable vessels engaged In
ocean commerce to pass to and fro between
the great lakes and the Atlantic ocean,
with an adequate and controllable supply of
water for continual use; where such canals
can be most conveniently located; the prob
able cost of the same, with estimates in de-
tail; and il any part of the same should be
built in the territory of Canada, what regu-
lations or treaty arrangements will be
necessary between the United States and
Great Britain to preserve the free use of
such canal to the people of this country at
siderations relating to the construction and
future use of deep-water channels between
the great lakes and the Atlantic OCEAN"
The act further provides that the per-
soDs so selected shall serve without COM
pensation in any form, but shall be paid
their actual travelling and other necessary
expenses and to that end the sum of $1O,-
900 was appropriated It was also provided
that the President might, in his discretion,
detail an officer of the army or navy as
enc of the members of the commission. The
vast Importance of the proposed work, and
the difficulty Of securing the services of
suitable men, has far delayed the ap-
pointment of the commission, but 1t is un-
derstood that this will be done as soon as
satisfactory arrangements are concluded
with the British government for the ap-
pointment of it's commissioners.

Spectators Testify

Wilson Young, spectator at the game
and classmate of Bahen. was called. He
said he thought Bahen was jumped on by
some one. He did not know by whom.
Leete struck Bahen somewhere below the
chest, and he did not think it was Leete
who jumped on Bahen, nor was 1t Ma
honey. The game was brutal one from
start to finish.
The witness said he was sure 1t was not a
Georgetown man who jumped on Banen.
The brutality was begun by the Columbus.
He heard before the game a rumor that
the Columbus intended to knock out"
three Georgetown men-Carmody. Bahen
and Mahoney. All three were injured in
the game There was a good deal Of hard
feeling between the two teams.
Robert G. Dill, jr., a newspaper reporter.
told about the accident as he saw it. No
one jumped on Bahen. 1t was a rough
game. He, too, heard rumors that the Co
lumbia men were going to do up the
Georgetown men, but thought it ground
less. The play in which Bahen was hurt
was not nearly as rough as some of the
other plays.

A communication was read from the sec
rotary of the board of church extension,
David Morton, showing that the Baltimore
conference had aided niEety-two churches
in the last twelve years, and paid them
$11 ,9S5. The general board had aided four
teen churches In the conference, giving
them 5000 The amount loaned in the
conference was $4,000. The Baltimore con-
ference has contributed in regular assess
ments, from the beginning, $23,561 to the
work of church extension. During the
quadrennium past the con Inference has raised
by regular collections for support of min
istry, bishops. conference claimants, mis-
sions and church extension the aggregate
sum of S577,76i. The assessment on the
conference this year was announced at
5000.
Dr. Morton was present. and being called
forward by Bishop Granbery made BUSH
nesslike speech on the subject OF church
extension. He criticised the course taken
by many rural churches in building beyond
their necessities, counseed economy and
good sense. In the cities. he said. the same
rule might not apply. The growth Of many
cities was so rapid that larger expenditure
was there necessary in order to keep up
with the demands of growth.
Gift of $2O,OOO.
At this point a somewhat startling incl
dent occurred when Secretary Armstrong
read a letter from Charles Shipley of Balti-
more, making a gift of $4,000 to the con-
ference. to be held in trust for the support
of superannuated clergymen. Mr.. Shipley
said he had thought of leaving this sum
by his will, but dead men cannot have
their own way often even in their own af
fairs. he had decided to give it while he
was yet here and could see to the matter
himself. He counseled that the $4,000 be
Invested in ground rents and the income
only be applied to the purpose designated.
The conference broke out with an excla-
nation of devout gratitude. and on the call
of Secretary Armstrong a rising vote Of
tons of thanks to Mr. Shipley were
adopted.
