WASHINGTON, March 30-The report of
Maj. c. B. Sears on survey to ascertain the
feasibility of canal to connect Lake Su-
perior with the Mississippi river was trans
mitted to the house today. The report says
that the information obtained on preliminary
examination warranted surveys on only two
routes; namely, via AlloneZ bay and Brule
and st. Croix rivers, and via the ST. Louis
East Savanna and Prairie rivers and Sandy
lake. Maj. Sears estimates the cost of u
canal by the first route, eighty feet wide at
water surface, ffty-nine feet wide at bottom
and seven feet deep, at $7,O50, 600, and canal
OF similar dimension on the other route at
$le,575, no. He says steamboat canal 100 feet
wide at bottom, 12t feet wide at surface and 7
feet deep along the latter route is estimated
to cost $1S015, ,112.
If the final objective point for the water
way be the Mississippi river near ST. Paul,
Maj. Sears adds, it would necessitate the
Improvement of that river from Sandy Lake
to point below st. Anthony, Falls. The
cost or such waterway, having a minimum
depth OF seven feet from Lake Superior to
the Mississippi below st. Paul, via st. Louis
river, Sandy Lake and the upper Mississippi
river. will be at least $40, ,0oe 900 for barges;
and for steamboats,, If practicable at all.
100000 OOO Assuming the total cost to be
Immediately available, the report saws it
would take four years to complete the first
named route and ten years the other. The
route via Alouez is thought to be the most
feasible.

LAMONT,s LETTER.
His Objections to Reviving the Rank
of Lieutenant-GeneraI stated.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The letter of Sec
retary Lamont to Gen. Hawley disappearing
the bill to revive the rank of lieutenant gen.
eral Of the army, was made public today. The
bill was known intended to benefit Gen.
Miles, though his name was not mentioned.
After reviewing the bill submitted to him,
Secretary Lamont sums up his objections, as
follows:
THE present major generals of our army at
tanned brilliant regulations for gallantry while
commanding subdivisions or army corps during
the late conflict and have added to their laur-
els since by efficient performance of arduous
service upon the Indian frontier; but it is no
reflection upon these. excellent officers to say
that the services they have so far rendered
are not of that exalted character that has hith-
erto been regarded as prerequisite to the ad-
vancement now proposed. Noting that the
grade of lieutenant general has not been re-
garded as permanent Office necessary to our
army organization, and has been conferred
only upon few of those officers who have
rendered marked services In war; that the
complimentary rank, when bestowed; has often
been withheld until long after the demonstra-
tion of this superior ability, and has only been
voted as a reward of great military genius and
most conspicuous leadership, the conclusion
is reached that the existing conditions do not
demand the revival of the rank at this time.

BOND INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. PETER Will Insist That 1t Be
Taken Up by the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 3o.-The senate is
to have a revival Of the financial and bond
discussion as the result of an animated de-
bate shortly before the session closed today.
Mr.. PETERS resolution for the appointment Of
a special committee of five senator's to in
vestigate recent bond issues had been rele-
gated to the calendar, owing to the oppo-
sition of Mr.. Hill, but it was reached in the
regular order today. Again Mr.. Hill sought
to have the resolution go over, but he was
met by energetic protests, not only from Mr..
PETER but from Mr.. Wolcott and Mr.. Teller.
The latter gave notice that further delays
would be resisted, and Mr., PETER followed
with notice that he would move tomorrow to
proceed with this bond inquiry resolution as
soon as Mr.. George concludes speech on
the Dupont case This promises to bring a
test vote unless dilatory tactics postpone the
measure. Among the bills passed today
were those appropriating, 100000 for pub
lie building at Indianapolis, Ind, and set
tling the long pending accounts between the
United States and Arkansas
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-03-31

handed down the opinion of the supreme court
today in the of the Texas Pacific railroad
versus the Interstate Commerce Commission,
known as the import rate case. The opinion
of the supreme court reversed the opinion of
the circuit court, which held that it was IL
legal to charge less the imported goods
than on domestic articles. The effect of the
opinion is to continue the alleged discrimina-
ton in the interest of foreign shippers. The
case grew out of a proceeding begun in 1891
by the New York board of trade against a
number of railroad companies. 1t was
claimed that unjust discrimination was
made by railroad lines starting at the eastern
seaboard of the United States in favor of
goods coming from abroad under a joint
ocean and railroad traffic; that the discrimi-
nation often amounted to so per cent in the
interest of the foreigners and that there were
no circumstances or conditions relating to i'm
ported trafic which could justify any differ
ence in rates between imported traffic trans
ported to any place in the United States from
a port of entry and other traffic from such
port. The Texas Pacific company claimed
that the controlling forces which made the
rates that it saw fit to charge were the water
lines from Europe to the Pacific coast.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan
and Brown dissented from the opinion of the
court, and Justice Harlan delivered a vigor-
Gus dissenting opinion.

FRENCH AFFAIRS.
No Sensational Developments Are
Expected for Some Days.


Expected for Some Days.
PARIS, March 30.-Contrary to general ex-
pectations, the policy of the government re-
garding foreign affairs will not be discussed
in the chamber of deputies or senate today.
The political situation has. not changed and
1t is believed that the statu quo will be
maintained until the discussion of the gov
ernments policy toward Egypt comes up
probably on Thursday. The Gaulois pub
fishes a sensational statement to the effect
that it was the, president, M. Faure, who
caused the resignation of the minister Of
foreign affairs. According to the story, NJ.
Faure summoned NJ. Berthelot to his study
just before the cabinet council and appealed
to him to give up his portfolio. 1t is added
that NJ. Berthelot finally surrendered it upon
and consented to retire. The forthcoming
debate in the chamber and senate is expect
ed to result in profit to the government, who
count upon a majority of so. Should the de-
bate take a dangerous turn, it is probable
that M. Deloncle, a member of the opposi-
ton, will speak in support of the ministry,
and point out the necessity of giving M.
Bourgeois free hand to deal with the
situation. NJ. Bourgeois was questioned to-
day by the budget committee in regard to
Madagascar. He said that French products
would enter free and that the treaties con-
cluded by the queen of Madagascar had been
annulled.
M. Sarrien has been appointed minister of
the interior. He occupied the same posi-
tion in the Freycinet cabinet of 1886 and in
the Tirard cabinet of 1887.

Brides, Roses and Masses of Easter
Lilies for Decoration.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Easter Monday at
p m. is the time fixed for ex-President Har-
rison's wedding to Mrs. Mary Dimmick. The
wedding arrangements have gone on quietly
and until today few details reached the pub
lie.
The wedding will be almost private, only
intimate friends of the bride and bridegroom
being invited The greatest attention, how
ever, has been given to the floral decorations
OF the church. Masses of lilies will fill the
church, with a background of palms, the
whole imparting a decided Easter tide at
mosphere.
Garlands of bride roses will be looped over
the hly-covered altar rail, while the pulpit
will be banked with ferns. Each pew in the
center aisle will be adorned with bouquet of
Easter lilies, and lily chain will partition
off the relatives seats.
There will probably be no bridesmaids or
other attendants except ushers. The names
Of the latter, as well as that of the best man,
are kept secret until next Friday.

B0oTH-TUcKERS AFFLICTED.
News Received of thS, Death of Their
Child in London

NEW YORK, March 30.-At Salvation Army
headquarters today a cablegram was received

fant child of the Booth-Tuckers. The child,

AN EARLY EASTER.
The Moon Full ON the Coast a Week
Ahead of Time.

TACOMA, March S0.-It was Easter Sun
day yesterday on the Pacific coast, although
probably not more than half dozen persons
knew it. Those who did are ambitious as
tronomers or mathematicians They find
that the first full moon of the spring equi-
nox put in an appearance about 10 o'clock
Saturday night, and it is a fact that the
first Sunday after the first full moon of the
spring equinox is Easter Sunday the world
over. But in this peculiar case, said to be
the first instance of the kind since the be-
ginning of the Christian era, only this part
of the Pacific slope has it's Easter Sunday a
week in advance of the rest of the world.
When the moon filled Saturday night, reck-
oning by Pacific coast time it was already
Sunday in New York and London. Conse-
quently for the East and the remainder Of
the world, excepting the Pacific coast, the
first Sunday after the first full moon after
the spring equinox will not arrive until next
Sunday.

Lamoreaux is of the opinion that some of the
pine land in the Red lake reservation may

price determined upon by his Office. With a
view to ascertaining the facts in regard to
the matter, he has requested the Chippewa
Indian commission to furnish him with some
facts as to the value of the timber on the
reservation. The commissioner has deter
mined to put this pine land on the market at
an early date, and is now preparing lists for
advertisements
