The Maritime Canal Bill,
A bill to incorporate the maritime canal
of North America to connect the Hudson
river and the great lakes was introduced
yesterday in the Senate by Senator Hans
brough of North Dakota, and in the House
by Representative Cooper of Wisconsin
The canal system for which the bill pro-
vides includes canals from the head of
tidewater navigation on the Hudson to
Lake Champlain; from the head of Lake
st. Francis to the st. Lawrence river, above
the long Sault rapids; from Lewiston on
the Niagara river to a point the river
above the falls, and authority to deepen
and widen the Champlain and Hudson
canal is asked.
The channels are to be twenty feet deep,
to permit two of the largest vessels draw
ing twenty feet to pass, and the locks are
to admit vessels $50 feet long and~siXt y-five
wide. The plans are to be approved by
board of five engineers appointed by the
Secretary of War, the canal is to be under
the control Of the interstate commerce
commission, and the government is by the
bill authorized to take possession of the
property on one weeks notice by paying
the value of the property.
Good Roads Hearing.
The House committee on agriculture yes
terday gave hearing on good roads, based
on the bill introduced by Representative
Charles w. Stone of Pennsylvania, creating
special commission on highways, whose
DUTY it should be to inquire generally how
the government may further promote the
improvement Of highways. Representative
Stone explained the bill. e. G. Harrison of
New Jersey, representing the national
league of good roads, set forth the i'm
portance of good material in road construc-
ton. Mr.. Samms of Maryland spoke of the
wheelman's interest in good roads. Prof
Holmes of North Carolina showed how the
educational interests would be benefited by
good roads, Fl. w. Anderson, the secretary
Of the Virginia State Road Association, and
Sterling Elliott of Boston, representing the
League of American Wheelmen, also spoke
Gen. Stone of the Agricultural Department
said his bureau had sent out from the
Office of road inquiry 10000 letters to the
most intelligent and experienced farmers
IN the United States, and applied the data
SO obtained to the census returns. The re-
suit was to confirm the estimates of experts
that the total bad roads tax, direct and in
direct exceeds $500, 600, 900 yearly. Such a
tax, he said. approximated one-fourth of the
home value of all farm products in the
United States; but it went without saying
that this burden was not all borne by the
farmers.

SPAIN DOESN'T LIKE IT.

Ilcials Have Faith in
Cleveland.

Madrid. Dec. 19.-The decision of the
United States Senate committee on for
eign relations to report Senator Cam
eron's resolution for the recognition of
the republic of Cuba has caused a great
sensation here. The newspapers here
enlarge upon the significance of the joint
measure compared with the concurrent
resolution, and reproach the government,
especially the Spanish minister at Wash
ington, for having been over-contident.
The ministers here decline to talk on
the subject. 1t is expected that Il cab
met meeting will be held tomorrow i'll or
der to discuss the situation.
A foreign official in an interview today
with Il representative of the Associated
press said that while the government re-
grets the action of the Senate it does not
think that collision with the United
States will follow, as the time elapsing
before the House can adopt the Senate
resolution will serve to calm the hasty
thinkers in the United States and mod
crate the noisy patriots of Spain. who will
doubtless indulge in much of the same
kind of talk as the jingoes in America

How will the Carnegie-Rocke
Combine Affect Illinois
Steel Company

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-[Special.l- 1.-The
combination between Carnegie and Rock
efeller and it's probable effect on the IL
linois Steel company is the talk of the
local financial world and iron agents to-
day. 1t is believed by some that the re-
suit of the combination will have an
easily appreciable effect on the fortunes
of the Illinois company. That corpora
ton is regarded as the one considerable
rival of the Carnegie company. and while
there are some lines in which the Chi
cago company does not compete with the
Pittsburg concern, it has long been re-
garded in the nature of d dictator so
far as its own product was concerned.
J. j. Mitchell, president of the Hi
nois Trust and Savings bank, said to-
day that he rather doubted the antici-
pated fight between the Carnegie (even
with the Rockefeller reinforcement), and
the Illinois Steel companies. "They could
have bought the stock of the Illinois
Steel company at a very reasonable
price if they wanted it, said Mr.. Mitch

TENNESSEE GETS AID.
Government to Spend 81 10000 on
Building and Exhibit at
the Exposition.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 10.-The
House by vote of 1877 to % today
passed bill providing for government
participation in the Nashville Tenn,
centennial exposition. it appropriates
100000 for a government exhibit and
$4,000 for government building.
Mr. Dingley pointed out that the only
justification for government aid was that
the exposition was national and inter
national and he deprecated policy of
federal aid to purely state expositions.
The Tennessee members rallied TO the
supDort of the measure, pointing out the
prospects of the enterprise and Mr.. Nc
MilIin held up views of the buildings.
The House has adopted Il rule to give
four days to the Pacific railroad funding
bill, beginning on Thursday. January I.

county. q. There he passed the years or
his boyhood.
He entered Antioch college and was
graduated with the class of 1857. He
began his political career as clerk of the
court of common pleas of Lorain county,
and was reelected to that office in 1860
Meanwhile. he studied law and in 1868
was admitted to the bar For two years
he practiced at Elyria. and in 1866 he
went to Southeastern Missouri. There
he engaged in mining and spent six years
in the mountain country. After that he
took I'D his abode in Michigan, and it
was from that state that he was elected

Forty-eighth congresses.

went into the lumber trade. He became
a prominent man in Michigan and was
universally esteemed as a member Of

legislators. He was rotnnd, healthy
and good-natured and ever disposed to
look upon the bright side of life. He
