and business difficulties to overcome, that
are calculated TO test their strength and en-
durauce fully as much, if not more, than the
lion did Samsou's. A man TO be successful
must be in good physical condition. This is

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The secre-
tafy OF war toJay transmitted 10 Con
gress the report of the chief engineers
on the preliminary examination made
by MGJ. T. w. Symonds OF the corps
OF engineers, OF Ehip canal from
the great lakes to the Hudson river.
The work was doue In accordance
with provision In the last river and
harbOr bill.
Gen. Wilson, chief OF engineers,
says in the report that It IL the opil-
ion OF the local officers that the best
route for shir canal is that by way OF
Niagara river, Lake Ontario, Oswego,
Oueida lake aud the Mohawk ana
Hudson rivers, ana that this would
cost at rough estimate 5000, 900. 600.
But Moi. Symonds IL ais OF the opin.
ion that the Erie canal, when On.
larged under the existing plans OF the
state OF New York, would, II the re-
strictionB imposed by the state On its
u.e be removed, result In com IN eroial
advantages equal to thOse Of ship

Mr.. Symonds further ex presses the
opinion that the construction OF tuch
