routes available for continuous canals
making the required connections:
Eastern Route, Cleveland to Mariet-
ia.
Central Route - Sandusky Bay to
Portsmouth
Western Route-Toledo to Cincinnati.
On all these routes the water supply
IS such that, with the necessary i'm
pfoVementS, 1T is practicable to con-
struct canal of the kind required that
can be operated at it's full capacity for
27o days each year. The estimated cost
of each waterway of the prescribed di-
mensionS is: Eastern route, $12, ,299, 372
central route, S,094 165; to the latter
may be added, If necessary, cost of feed
er from Lewiston reservoir to the Scioto
valley, $4,000, making the whole sum
for the central route, $1S,11S, ,165; west
ern route, $23,O11,374.
The board concludes that, while it
would be feasible to construct a canal
of the dimensions specified, it would
by reason of inadequate depth in the
canal and in the Ohio, be restricted in
its benefits. In the opinion of the board
the construction of canal of such di-
menSions, or apart from an adequate
Improvement of the Ohio river would
not be advisable. The board has not
considered 1t part of it's duty to pre-
sent any recommendation with regard
to canal of dimensions different from
those prescribed in the act of congress.
A canal having uniform width of eigh-
ty-five feet and a depth Of ten feet
would admit the passage of vessels that
might be considered of about the least
practicable size for lake navigation.

DEFECTS OF WAR VESSELS.
Surprising Showing Made in Euro
mean MnueuyePs

WASHINGTON, March 4-The intelligence
bureau of the navy department has Just is
sued its annual volume of notes ca the year S
naval progress, which has come to be looked
forward to with great interest, not only to
naval officers. but to every person interested
in development The leading feature of this
number is a set of preliminary notes on the
Japan-Chinese war, compiled by Lieut. NJ NJ.
WitZel and l.. Karmany who were present in
Chinese waters during the progress of the
late war.
Ths surprising extent to which electricity
is now being used on board men-of-war is
strikingly exhibited in an article contributed
by Lieut.. B. A. Fiske, the inventor of the
range finder with many illustrations of all
sorts of instruments of precision and measure
ment and convenience.
Technically, however, the chapter of greatest
interest to naval students is that telling of
the naval maneuvers conducted last year by
the powers of Europe. 1t may surprise the
American public to learn that during the Brit
ish maneuvers no less than forty-eight ships
broke down in some more or less important
cases to be put out of action and sent to the
nearest dock yards for repairs. Somehow the
torpedo boats, which did such great service
in the preceding maneuvers, did not come UP
to expectations this time in the case of Great
Britain, but on the contrary in the French
maneuvers they were effective as to lead
to the conclusion that most of the hostile fleet
would have been sunk had the engagement not
been a sham. One lesson derived by the Brit
ish from the experience was that the main-
tenance of a high rate of speed is one of the
best safeguards for a ship while In waters
supposed to be infested by torpedo boats.

RUSHING NEW BATTLESHIPs.
Great Activity Exhibited ut Cramps
Ship Yard.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March AL
though the officials at Cramps ship
yard say they have received no espe-
cial orders to push the three warships,
the Massachusetts, Brooklyn and To-
wa, to completion, because of the pend
ing trouble with Spain, there is, never
theless, an air of activity about the
yard that contrasts strongly with the
recent dullness there. The Massachu-
setts, a sister ship of the Indiana, will
be given her preliminary sea trial
about the middle Of April. She is prac-
tically ready for the trip, only need
ing two of her thirteen-inch guns to
complete her armament. These are ex-
pected to arrive from the Washington
gun shops within few days.
The cruiser Brooklyn has all of her
main machinery in, and the work in
her sloping protective deck is rapidly
progressing. AS she carries no heavy
armor, she will not be subject to the
delays encountered by the Massachu-
setts. The battleship Iowa is still on
the stocks, and her launching has been
fixed for March %. She is being plated
up. Under fair conditions, she could be
completed, if badly needed, in about
six months. The Iowa will be the most
powerful ship in the United States
navy.

ARCHBISHOP KENRICK DEAD.
Head of the st. Louis Diocese for
More Than Fifty Years.


More Than Fifty Years.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 4.-Peter
Richard Kenrick, who, for fifty-fve
years prior to three years ago, was
the Roman Catholic bishop. of this dio-
cese, died at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon
in the ninetieth year of his age. His
death was peaceful and painless. There
was no struggle as far as could be seen
on his placid features, for he was
dead when his valet found him. For
several years the aged prelate had been
in very feeble health, and about three
years ago Bishop John J. Kain. of
Wheeling, was elevated to an arch
bishopric, and sent here to relieve him.
The present winter has been very
severe on him. and one or two in
cipient attacks of pneumonia nearly
carried him off. 1t was lung trouble,
helped by senile debility, that laid him
low at last. Last night when the
archbishop retired he complained of not
feeling well. He was suffering from a
chill, which was soon broken by the
administration of medicine, and the
archbishop fell asleep. When he awoke
at 10 o'clock this morning he still felt
i'll, but suffered no pain. A doctor was
called, and left without prescribing
anything. After his departure the
archbishop fell asleep and at / o'cock
he awoke again. His valet inquired if
he felt better, but the prelate replied,
mo"
Nothing could be done. These weak
spells were matters of daily occurrence,
and the valet was reassured when the
archbishop closed his eyes and seemed
to drop back asleep. The boy sat by
his bedside for half an hour. The room
was quiet and it seemed to him that
the sleeping man was hardly breath

FRANKFORT, KY, March 4-The
Republican joint caucus for the nomi-

night, when it was announced that
State Senator Deboe had been nominat-

claims that Deboe had decided ma
