TO JOIN LAKES AND OCEAN.
Effort TO Have Goycrnmcr,s n,
United states and Canada Pro-
vide Deep Waterwny.

An effort will be made by persons in
terested in lake transportation TO have
the Anglo-A American commission take
mp the project for IA canal joining the
great lakes and the Atlantic. This
Project has been fayorably reported
upon by deep water way commission
authorized by congress and appointed
by the president. While this estab-
lshed the practicability of the canal.
the present movement contemplates the
dcyising by the Anglo-American com
mission OF n plan of joint action by
which work will be actually begun.
The proposed route would be by way
of the 81. Lawrence river and Like
Champaign, cut of % miles being sufT.
cient, it is said. for that link in the
canal. Another cut of q miles would
carry the canal 10 the Hudson river.
'hus connecting the shipping OF Chi
cago and New York by way Of the
lakes, Welland canal, st. Lawrence
river, Lake Champlain and Hudson
river. The projectors of this move
nent say the Gu; from the ST. Lawrence
TO Lake Champlain can be made for
S",000,0O0 or 100000, as the topog
raphy is most favorable for canal dig
ging. They are proceeding on the idea
Of having the two governments do the /
work, each doing the construction o.
IFS own side, thus making it a govern
ment rather than private enterprise .

most critical nature and that Manchu.

also practically Russian and is liable
TO be closed any day. The only per

American and British interests. Mr..
Barrett says, is imm%liate and united
action by the interested governments

Otherwise, Mr.. Barrett contends, the

TRACE THEFT u RATS.
1ewei-Laden stocking % i!rs. Levine,
OF Chicago, Dr...~ed
Into Hole.

Mrs. Abraham Levine. e 0iS West
Monroe street. Chicago now an ar.
cent admirer of the metL s of the no.
lice OF the Warren avenue station. Less
than one week ago she inserted an adj
'ertisement in the morning papers Of
fering a reward OF $500 for the recov-
cry of diamonds and jewelry which she
had been in the habit Of carrying about
her person in an old stocking. She in
formed the police that a few moments
before she discovered her loss her
daughter had seen the stocking lying
IN a small areaway between her resi-
Gence and that OF her mother. who
resides next door.
Lieut.. Stanton made a careful exam
iration Of the premises and had his at
iention directed to a number Of rat
holes in the planks between the build
irgs. On the first examination Of these
holes he paid but little attention to
the clew which suggested itself. but on
the occasion OF his second visit he or
dered his officers to pull up the planks.
1t was then that the mystery of the
lost diamonds was solved. Mrs. Levine
Lad supposed that some unknown per-
son had found her old stocking and
the treasure il contained, but the police
through their discovery proved the
contrary. The stocking had been
ragged into one of the holes in the |
'lanking and for fully five days n
'mau colony OF rats had rested. fed and
hrived within its folds. When the po-
zee picked up the primitive treasure
)ag it was found to contain the great
7 number Of the missing jewels and
ne rest were scattered about the
round beneath the wooden walk.

GEN. CALlXT0 GARCIA DEAD.
The Distinguished Cuban Warrior and
Leader Died of Pneumonia In wash
ington Sunday Morning.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Gen. Calixt,
Garcia, the distinguished Cuban war
rior and leader and the head of tn,
commission elected by the Cuban as
sembly to visit this country, died here
Sunday morning shortly after 1C
o'clock at the Hotel Raleigh,
where the Cuban commission has
had its headquarters. The sudden
change from the warm climate
of Cuba with the hardships he had
there endured to the wintery weather
of New York and Washington is re-
sponsible for the pneumonia which
resulted in his death. He contracted
slight cold in New York, which
did not assume an alarming stage
until the early part of last
week, On Tuesday night Gen,
Garcia, in company with two other
members of the commission, attended
a dinner given in his honor by Gen.
Miles, and it was result of the ex-
posure that night which eliminated in
his death.
During the IL hours or more preced-
ing dissolution Gen. Garcia was uncon-
scous most of the time. At intervals
he recognized one or more of those
about him. In his dying moments, as
all through his busy and active
life, his thoughts were for
his beloved country and its peo-
pie, and among his last words were
irrational mutterings, in which he
gave orders to his son, who is on his
staff, for the battle which he supposed
was to occur Monday and in which he
understood there were only 400 Span
ards to combat. Just before he died
le embraced his son. Rev. Father Ma
rec, of st. Patrick's church, was called
II during the day and was with Gen.
Iarcia until the end, administering the
asst rites of the Catholic church.
Gen. Garcia left a large family, only
ne of whom, Justo, captain on his
taft, was with him when he died. His
widow and Mercedes, daughter, II
ears of age, are at Thomasville, Ca,
here the CIR. isquite Ill; Mario, a son.
, years of age, is with the mother at I
and Col. Carloas Garcia,
mother son, is in Cuba. A daughter :
eonora, who married an American, is !
ow living in Paris. Gen. Garcia's :
other is still alive and resides in Ha- t
ma. :,

WORLDS BIGGEST SKELETON.
Remains OF an Animal One Hundred
and Thirty Feet I'm Length
Found In Wyoming.

IL has been long known that wv
oming was the graveyard Of the larg-
est animals which have at any time
inhabited the earth. Prof. w. II. Reid.
OF the department Of geology Of the
state university, while exploiting the
fossil fields of Albany county, about 90
miles northwest Of Laramie, during last
August, discovered the fossil skeleton
OF the largest animal yet found in the
world. The monster was dweller in
the jurassic age. known 10 science as a
dinosaur, measuring nearly 1870 feet in
length. estimated 10 lave been 30 feet
in height at the hips and % at the
shoulders, its petritied skeleton weigh
ing more than 10000 pounds. The only
known fossil which approximates this
dinosaur in size is the celebrated
brontoslurin the Yale college museum,
discovered some years ago in Wyoming
by Prof o. c. Marsh. This monster
unearthed by Prof. Marsh is said TO
have been 70 feet in length, the new
discovery by Prof. Reid eclipsing it by
co feet in length. This recent discov-
cry is said TO put the reptilian fossil
collection OF the Wyoming university
ahead of any in the world. When this
dnosaur is completely restored and
mounted il will adorn the university
and become one OF the wonders
OF the world.
