IMPORTANT INTERIOR WATERWAY.

Survey of the Proposed Canal From she
Poeomoke River to sinepuxent Bay
Completed Under the Direction of Civil
Engineer J. II. moreland,o of Wilmington.
Snow HILL, Md, Jan. 26.-The sur-
vey of the proposed canal from the
Pocomoke river to Sinepuxent bay has
been completed under the direction Of
Civil Engineer Joseph r Moreland, OF
Wilmington, Del, and Assistants Melvin
NJ Gillette, of New York, and Herman
Shubert, of Philadelphia. Ths
route as surveyed starts at the
Pocomoke river opposite Pur
nell's mill-dam, near Snow = Hill,
follows the mill stream up the middle
fork, CROSSES the county road by the farm
of John A Dale In n southsrly course TO
the farm OF ]. II Richardson. At this
point the route Ia due west along the bed
of Paw Paw branch TO the bay, coming
out about half mile below Public Landing.
The survey shows that the waters OF
the bay. are two feet higher than the
waters Of the pooomoke river st low tide,
and also that when it Is low
tide In the bay 10 is high tide In
the river and vice versa. This would,
IN case the canal were cut, reduce the
tide In the river and cause drainage oi
the swamp lands along the river thus
greatly advancing their value The cost
Of the canal has been estimated al
$3.50, 600, sum that the United States
government can well afford 10 appropri
ate for such an important work
The engineers have also completed 4
triangular survey Of the Pooomoke river
from ShAd Landing to the stsamboai
wharf, Snow HILL for the purpose Of
making q map for use Of the United
State government coast survey.

NEW CASTLE, Jan. 26 Prominent peo.
pie and business men having become
anxious to know what the city intended
to do toward getting legislative relief,
reporter sscertained last evening that the
law committee OF City Council had not
been Idle. The committee has held a
number OF conferences with the city
solicitor and, in consequence, New Castle
city legislation will soon occupy some of
the time Of the Solons at Dover.
Hon. A. b. Cooper, as city solicitor,
has drawn up 8 re-ensctment for the
collection of taxes by the city tax collec
tor, of New Castle, as requested by City
Council, and will be ready in few days
to submit IL to Assemblyman McMullen.
1t provides for a 8 per cent allowance to
the property owners who pay their taxes
promptly and allows until the first OF
May for the taxes to be paid without
fines. After May !, and for each sue
ceeding month, per cent. will be added.
1t Is hoped that this measure will pass
City Solicitor Cooper will also present
q measure, which he now has ready for
passage, upon Councils recommendation,
TO repeal that section Of the new road tax
law which provides that the city must
pay $500 annually to the road commits
sioners. This is mandatory In the law
now In effect, passed two years ago
because Council wanted to try the
experiment OF collecting all the road
taxes due within the city limits and
taking care Of all the highways within
its limits, excepting the causeways and
bridges II was q costly experiment
because the city just loses about $500 Of
the 5000 that must be paid the road COM
missioners. The new measure merely
provides for the rural portion of the
hundred to take care OF its own collec-
tions and repairs and elect its commits
sioners, New Castle city to have nothing
hereafter to do with their elections.

they fall to the next story, into large
cylinders, fourteen feet long, which re-
volve rapidly, and by friction the nuts
are cleaned from the earth which clings
to them, ard polished, so that they

From this story the nuts fall through
shoots to the third and most interesting
floor. Imagine rows Of long, narrow
tables, each divided lengthwise into
three sections by thin, inch-high strips
of wood. These strips also surround
the edge Of the table. Each Of these
s; IONS is fooled with strip Of heavy
white canvas, which moves necessarily
from the mouth Of the shoot to an open

end of the table. These slowly moving

Macdonald was present at public din
her at which be was expected to de-
liver a rather important speech. In
the conviyiality Of the occasion he for
got the more serious duty Of the even
ing, and when, at a late hour, he rose.
his speech was by no means 50 lum1n-
OTIS as it might have been. The report
err, knowing that it would not do to
print his notes as they stood, called on
Sir John next day and told him that he
was not quite sure Of having secured
an accurate report, He was invited to
read over his notes, but he had not got
farwhen Sir John interrupted him with
That Is not what I said" There was
a pause, and Sir John continued, "Let
me repeat my remarks" He then
walked up and down the room and de-
livered a most impressive speech IN tha
hearing Of the amused reporter, Who
took down every word as it fell from
his lips. Having thanked Sir John for
his courtesy, he was taking his leave,
when he was recalled to receive this
admonition: young man, allow me

Tor light and civilization; her institu-

up by European turists, are equal to
the best we know, and they are justly
administered; her punishments are hu-

politics are corruption, her ideals are

In thousands Of Yamens throughout

hung up by the thumbs, forced to kneel

boos, their ankles cracked, their limbs
broken. Every week men are publicly
