COLUMBUS. Ga, July 25.-Tonight the

work in the United States; that the
Mexican dollars were worth only half

NEW YORK, July 25.-A montreal
dispatch to the Evening Post says:
Advices from Ontario state that the
deplora BILE condition of the farmers
throughout the province is gradually
becoming more intensified. Meetings
of farmers are being held at various
points and petitions prepared for tTans-
mission to Ottawa, asking the Ddmin-
ion government to help farmerS to
bring hay from the northwest to/feed
their cattle. In great part of the
northern district there is no hay at all
and as freight rates on hay are high,
without government aid it will De i'm
possible for many farmers TO keep
cows through the winter. In some
parts of the province farmers are
shooting their cattle.
At ST MARITIME, owing to the dry
dry weather. the grasshOppers became
so numerous that they frightened the
farmers who sent to the parish priest
and requested him to offer public
prayers to avert a calamity. Last Sun
day the priests were called to the
churches to take part in public prayers
and a procession. Similar services
have been held at st. Urban, Beau
HarnoiS and other places.

Increased Activity of the League
During the Past Week


LONDON, July 25.-The Bimetallic
league has shown increased activity
during the past week. 1t has had con-
slant sessions since Monday. The
league now occupies large offices in
Cornhill and its members are all de-
lighted with the results of the gen
eral elections. The bimetallists had
workers in every district. and in Wales
they circulated posters stating the ma
ture Of their propaganda and especially
pointing out the attitude of Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt, the EXCHANGED
Tor of the eXchequer, on the question.
All these posters were printed in
Welch.
Secretary MCNEIL, talking over the
situation to representative of the
Associated Press, said that most of the
bimetalllc principles before accepting
their nomination. He added:
The complexion of the new parlia-
ment shows increased friendship for
our views. In Wales they have hitherto
not understood the difference between
monometallism and bimetallism. and
have been wont TO compare Harcourt's
views as law and gospel. Let me tell
YOU Sir William Harcourt is the IN
dividual who is responsible for the de-
feat Of the Liberals. He is narrow
and bigoted, and it is generally con-
ceded that he is not a financier. You
may state as a fact that he has acted
during his occupancy of the eXchequer
on the financial views of banker, Mr..
Montague. When the list was pre-
scented last February Sir William Har-
court was it's most determined enemy
in the cabinet 1t is a significant fact
that Mr. Shaw-Lefevre, the late presi-

his defeat that many of the voters in

mort owing to his hostility to bimetal-
lism.

idly in England. We lost a few Liberal
friends, but this is more than equalIed

GRoUssETs ROLE IN THE EARTH.
What it Was Proposed to Find Out
Seems to BE Pretty Well known

The mile hole in the earth which ".
Paschal Grousset proposes TO dig at the
Paris exposition in 1900 is not so extra
ordinary after all, when the depth is
considered, says the New York World.
In many parts of the world are mines
which have reached a point as near %
nearer the center of the earth than the
one in Paris will.
In Belgium the Vivieres-Reunis mins
in the province of Gilly, is 1100 meterSf
deep. The Paris hole will be 100 me-
tiers About thirty miles to the south
of Berlin lie the Sperenberg mines,
whose bottom is $50 meters below the
surface and at Schledbach, also in Ger
many. Their is one which has pene-
trated to the depth of 1,910 meters. At
Wheeling. W. Va, there is a mine
nearly 5000 feet deep.
AS one of the objects OF the eXplora-
tion of the earths interior at Paris is
to ascertain some f&cts regarding the
temperature a cOmparaf lively little dis
lance towards the center of the earth
and so to make some Specula6ons that
will not be all guesswOrk as to the eX-
istence of a central fire it may be
stated that at the Sperenberg mine
the highest degree of heat recorded is
10 Fahrenheit, at Schledbach 135 and
at Wheeling 10. The temperature in
creases on the average degrees Fair
enheit for every 100 feet of descent.
The Paris project. which was at first
hailed with considerable enthusiasm, is
now being talked of with lukewarm-
ness. the thrifty Galhcmind having re-
allied the large amount of money it
would cost and its uselessness as a
incorporating novelty after the expo
sition is over.

WESTERN WATERWAYS.
Report on the River and HarOr I'm
prOvements in the Northwest.


WASHINGTON, July 25.-Captain t. w.
Tymons, in charge of the river ana har-
Dor improvements in the northwest, in
Guiding the state of Oregon. Washington
ana Idaho, has filed his report for the
last fiscal year 20 the chief of engineers.
The report covers about twenty projects,
many of them quite small.
ON the entrance to Coos bay and har-
Dor S98,5sS was, speat duri.S the. year
on the jetty, which had been previously
beS1n and in the extension of the jetty,
tramWaY to its full length of 10 36S feet.
The construction of he lefty has already
had marked effect on the entrance chan
mel, maintaining it in fixed position and
with a bar depth OF from eighteen to
tWenty-one feet. Captain Tymons thinks
the place for the improvements of Coos
bay should be changed so as to prepare
for vessels of greater draught than those
originally. contemplated as the improve
ment of the entrance will make it possible
for larger vessels 10 enter the bay.
On .Iacquinto bay, $}7.U5f was expended
in maintaining bar depth and location of
the channel which was originally done.
At Olympia harbor. a channel 200 feet
wide and six feet deep at low water was
completed for the entire distance from
deep yater in BIIdd Inlet, in the southern
limits of the main water way at the
south line of Second street extended.
AS this is the southern limit, the dredged
waterway has been enlarged into A basin
for the convenience Of boats III turning.
This basin is 800 feet long and has an
average width of 80 feet and an ex-
IRENE depth of 900 feet.
Waterway connecting Puget Sound with
Lake Union and Washington-the plan of
this improvement contemplates The ex-
tension of a ship canal 10 connect the
waters of the lakes with Puget Sound.
A preliminary survey was made under
the appropriation of 1890 and the work
of the past season was devoted to YER
ification of the surveys to preparation for
securing right of way. This work was
not begun until March last and is still
in progress.
Captain TymonS says that the procure
ment of right of way is a work of con-
siderable magnitude and expense, and it
is not possible to tell when it will be
ACCOMPLISHED.
