Webs4er on Silver Coinage.

authority can legally demonetize either
silver or gold" If one coin can be tie
throned as money, then the other one
can be. and thus the constitution could
be dsregarded-yCs. overthrow1l. Mr..
Webster made one other statement ut

the most thoughtful consideration of

words: THE command to Congress is to
coin money, not destroy il; to create

WHY Cole, Goes.

Until the bonds were actually placed
in the hands of the subscribers to Mr..
Cleveland's last loan it was the easiest
thing in the world for the syndicate to
control the exchange market and pre-
vent the shipment OF gold. But now
that the bonds are beyond the control
of the syndicate they can be handled in
accordance with the individual wishes
of their owners, who appear willing to
sell them back to persons in this coun-
try, where 4 strong demand exists for
them, especially on tho part of the ma
tiOnal banks.
How many of the bonds will come
back, and how much gold it will be nee
essary to ship in order to pay for them,
are of course problems which cannot be
answered at this time. 1t is safe TO
assert. however. that if there is profit
In selling them back here. they will all
find their way again across the Atlantic.
These gold sharks will play this game
for all it is worth, and as long as a
dollar can be made out of it. Now that
they have the bonds they are sending
them back for gold. When the gold
is all drawn out of the treasury they
will compel another bond issue, and SO
it will go on until the American people
tire of being buncoed, and return to Il
policy Of bimetallism, under which sill
yer as we'll as gold can be used In the
payment Of these bond obligations. Elk

Bridge Forty-onc Miles in Length

Bridge EOrty-Onc Miles in Length.
A gigantic undertaking, the bridging
over of Folks Strait separating the
Island of Ceylon from the mainland OF
India, Is seriously proposed by the Cey-
lon Government, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. The strait is fortyone miles
broad at its narrowest point, double the
width of the English channel, but is
very shallow, in many places only six
feet deep. The islands, reefs and chan
nels in it have been recently surveyed,
and the cost of works, extending over
siXty-one miles, including the Pambam
Channey and the Adams Bridge reef,
is estimated at 2S,OOO,O 900 rupees. The
ends will be connected by 145
miles of railroad with Colombo, the
great harbor of Ceylon, on the one side,
and by ninety miles of road with Ma
dura, the nearest point of the Indian
railroad system, on the other. If mar
row gauge is used, this can be done for
II 100000 rupees more.

can now form some idea of its general
outline, says the Follzebladet, of Chris
tiania. The slanting sides strike the
eye at once. Under the supposition
that the vessel will be screwed" by the
ice, care has been taken that no pro-
jecting points or fiat surfaces exist.
The peculiar design is based on the an
ticipation that all ice, when meeting
the vessel, will be forced down under
it, allowing it to be raised so much out
of the water. For the same reason the
bottom of the vessel is covered with
hard and smooth wood-greenheart,
three to six inches thick Inside, the
vessel is provided with horizontal, YER
teal and diagonal cross beams, fastened
by hundreds of iron and wooden Joints,
giving the impress of great. solidity.
The frame is mostly old oak. Besides
the outermost covering of greenheart,
there are two oak skins The vessel is
provided with steam engine of 1862
horse power. 1t is rugged as q three

The hull will be extremely heavy on
account of the heavy material used in,
its construction, yet it is estimated that
she will be able to carry 400 tons of coal

BRIDGING THE COLUMBIA.
A Great EugIneeFGDg Feat In the Far
NorfIrwesf.

SopthWest.
The recent completion of the great
eantalever bride over the Columbia
river at Rock island, Wash, marks the
accomplishment of the greatest feat of
railroad engineering in the west. The
Columbia at Wanatchee, where the
big bridge is being built, is between
300 and 1000 yards in width and from
IL to 200 feet deep at low water. It's
channel, according to the Seattle Her
aid, is worn deep below the general
surface of the valley, and, though the
annual June rise is So to so feet, it
never overnows. After many surveys
and measurements the company de-
cided to build bridge high enough
not to interfere with navigation rather
than drawbridge at shallower point
and support the same on piers.
At the point selected for crossing, a
basaltic butte rises 500 feet above the
valley. The butte drops down to the
riverin shelf-like terraces, and on one of
these shelves the western approach of
the bridge rests.
On the opposite bank stands SINH
lar butte, 200 feet above the water, and
through this butte roadway has been
cut for the eastern approach. Two
hundred and fifty feet from the east
bank of the river is an island, or rather
huge rock, on which the only pier in
the river is built. Between the rock
and the west bank flows the main
stream, which is 416 feet wide and 143
feet deep.
The whole bridge is 91615 feet long,
not counting the minor approaches,
and is 100 feet above low water mark
and 10 feet above extreme high water.
The first span reaches from the bluff
on the west side, $50 feet, to a shelf
above the water line. The second or
main span reaches 4161l feet above the
main channel to the river. 1t weighs
$50 tons and in the center is rs feet
from top to bottom of the structure.
The third span extends from the island
to the east bank. The entire bridge is
built of steel and wrought iron.
