very few if any were injured by it.
The disaster had all occurred in fif-

rescuing corps gathered twenty seven
dead bodies in one pile, eight in an
other, and two and three in groups

The loss of life is variously estimated

INTERIOR WATERWAYS.
Some Great Enterprises Under Way and
Others in Prospect.

The opening of the first fifteen miles
of the Henuepin Canal in Illinois marks
effective progress in the plan for join.
ing the Mississippi and Lake Michigan
by a navigable way. At the same
time this scheme is being pushed an
other and more ambitious plan is on
foot to connect the Ohio River with
Lake Erie by ship canal.
1t is estimated that the trade of
twenty nine States would be affected
by this improvement The most i'm
portant bearing of this canal would be
upon the iron trade, for if the iron ore
of Lake Superior could be carried in
vessels without breaking bulk to Pitts
burg, it would give the furnaces of that
section an indisputable superiority in
cost of production over anything on
earth. Pittsburg has raised S25, 900
for surveys. and it looks as if the meas
ure was in a fair way Of accomplish
ment The idea is that the work shall
be done by the general Government,
and from the extent of territory inter.
ested in the measure it certainly has
national Importance.
We are hearing more also of ship
canal from New York to the Great
Lakes. A plan proposed is by using
the ST. Lawrence to the mouth of the
Richelieu, thence to Lake Champlain
and by the enlarged Champlain Canal
to the Hudson. This will never com.
mend itself for the reasons that a good
part of the way is through foreign and
possibly hostile territory and that the
way is roundabout. Probably the most
feasible way of connecting Lake Erie
and the Atlantic is by canal around
Niagara Falls when vessels could sail
to Oswego and thence by canal through
the Oswego and Mohawk Valleys to the
Hudson. At present work has begun
with the purpose gradually to deepen
the Erie Canal eight feet.
One thing must be born in mind. The
idea of loading steamship at Chicago,
Duluth, or other inland ports for Liver.
pool or Hamburg, must be laid aside.
The ultimate object obtainable is that
lake vessels for instance, they take car.
goes from Duluth to the seaboard. OF
course nothing will prevent the vessels
from continuing their voyage across
the ocean if they see fit, but it will be
found economical to transfer the car
goes to the ten or twelve thousand ton
Atlantic liners. There is a practical
limit to the size of the canal that can
be constructed from the lakes. The
enlarged Welland Canal has only four
teen feet of water over the sill of the
locks, and ditch to float vessel ol
twenty feet draught is the utmost prac
ticable if it can be obtained.

will revolutionize the traffic between

tions of our country and the Pacific

Cherokees then ceded to the United
States all the lands north and east of
those boundaries, which were finally
/ adjusted and settled by the treaty of
the 9th of February, 1919, which have
been before described.
By a treaty with the Chickasaws,
made between them and the United
States at Hopewell, on the Keowee,
near Seneca Old Town, on the 10th of
January, 1856, their bounds were es-
tablished as follow: Beginning at the
ridge that divides the waters running
into the Cumberland, from those run
ming into the Tennessee, at a point in u
line to be run northeast, which shall
strike the Tennessee; thence running
westwardly along the said ridge, till it
strikes the Ohio; thence dow n the south
ern bank thereof, to the Mississippi;
the same course to the Choctaw line of
Natchez district; thence along the said
line, or to the line of the district, east
ward, as far as the Chickasaw ws claimed
on the 9th of November, 1889; thence
the said boundary eastwardly, shall be
the limits allotted to the Choctaws and
Cherokees, to have and hunt on, and
the land at present in possession of the
Creeks.
BY treaty made the Goth of Septem-
ber, 1916, the Chickasaw nation ceded
to the United States, with the excep-
tion of certain reservations specified in
the treaty, all right or title to lands on
the north side of the Tennessee river,
and relinquished all claim to territory
on the south side of said river, and east
of line commencing at the mouth of
Caney Creek, running up said creek to
it's source; thence due south course to
to Ridge Path, commonly called Gaines
road; along said road southwestwardly,
to point on the ToInbigbee river, we'll
known by the name of the Cotton Gin
Port and down the western bank Of the
Tombigbee, to the Choctaw boundary.
BY a treaty made in 1918, the Chicka.
saws relinquished their title and claim
to all the lands within the bounds of
this State, and wholly extinguished and
put an end to the same.

LITERARY NOTES.

DR., Parkhurst has coined new word,
and its aptness and clever construction
are quite likely to make it famous. The
eminent reformer's word is andre
mania,n and of it he says: There is
an element in the feminine world that
is suffering from what l shall venture
to call 'Andromania.' The word is not
an English one, for the reason, sup
pose, that the English language makers
never supposed that we should need
such term. 1t is construction on the
same principle as the word Anglo
mania,' which means a passionate
aping of everything that is English.
'Andromania' means similarly, pas
sionate aping of everything that is man
nish." DR.. Parkhurst makes his new
word serve as q title for his first article
in the next issue of The Ladies' Home
Journal, and uses it for a vigorous treat
ment of the type of women for whom
he invented it.

IN THE IRON MARKET,
The Wage Question Is the Prime Factor at the
 Present.


 Cleveland, O., May 2.-The Iron Trade Review says today: The talk of better prices for iron, whatever share of it has been realized in actual market transac- tions, has brought immediate fruit in de- mands for higher wages, with an un- easiness apparent in other directions that promises soon to be heard from
 The Minnesota Iron company has made a 10 per cent advance in wages, but as it's men were paid less than the rate at most Lake Superior mines this acton may not be considered precedent.
 The furnace strike at New Castle, Pa, continues, and at one Mahoning Valley furnace a demand has been made for higher wages. At other furnaces i'll both valleys the wage question may be eX- pected to come up at any moment
 In accordance with the amalgamated convention soon to be held in Cleveland an advance of 50 to 75 cents in the pud- ding rates is mooted The wage features of the situation seem to support the ad- vance in price announced in various di- rections. Further furnace strikes in the valley would result in a firm market for Bessemer pig, and a disagreement over the Amalgamated scale would have q like effect on all rolling mills products.
 As for some time back eastern markets are slower than the west to get to a bet ter basis. Eastern mills are supplied with work for the present. but new business 1at higher prices is much scarcer than in markets west of the Allcghenies.

Leo xIII's Political Testament.

London, May 2.-The Standard has obtained some details of a document which the pope is said to have communi- cated to the cardinals and heads of or ders. This document, the Standard is informed, has the form of a political testament.
 It recalls the condition of the papal see when Leo XIII was elected. The apathy of the powers showed, it says, the necessity for the papacy's taking position which would prevent it's ab- sorption by the new order of things in- stituted in Rome. Therefore continuous efforts were made to associate other governenmts with the papacy in mak- ing such concessions as the times re- quired. If appearances were not always favorable to this line of conduct, the doc ument says, 1t has been gradually justi- fled nevertheless by the facts, as any other line would have lowered the pa pacy, which then would have been sub Jected to some power instead of remain ing in superior position.
 The whole drift of the document is to secure the choice of a successor who will continue the present pope's policy.
