PLATTSBURG, N. Y, July 16.-Gov-
eminent engineers and surgeons have
arrived at Champlain, Clinton county,
for the preliminary survey Of the pro-
posed great ship waterway between
the lakes and the Hudson via the St.
Lawrence river and Lake Champlain.
Appropriations for this survey have
been made by congress and it Is
thought the report of the engineers
will be favorable over either the Erie
or Oswego canal routes, there being
only five locks and a comparatively
short canal mileage between Lake
Champlain and the st. Lawrence and
Lake Champlain and the Hudson. The
work now being done by the surveyors
consists of estimates on excavations
locks and water supply. The Cham
plain route is recommended by most
of the leading engineers Of the country
1t is expected that the freight rates
from Buffalo to New York can be re-
duced to twenty-five cents per ton by
this route

Action of w. c. Il. U. In Connection
with Temple Building.

CHICAGO, July 16-State presidents
of the National w. c. T. u, in execu-
| tive session today. washed their hands
of the Temple building enterprise. and
adopted a resolution in which the fol-
lowing language occurs:
And we recommend that no further
call to local unions or efforts by them
be made to secure ownership Of or pay
for the temple"
This resolution was passed by a vote
of Is to 4, the opposition representing
the trustees who are members of the
executive council.
A second recommendation, unani.
mcusly passed, disavows all legal OBJ
legation to pay for the 100000 trust
bonds on the temple building, but re-
quests that an effort be made to cancel
the moral obligation before the next
memorial convention, as a tribute to
tie expressed wishes and dying re-
quest of Miss Frances E. Willard.
The action Of the body is subject to
the approval of the national conven-
ton which meets in St. Paul next No
Vember.
The ladies who opposed the adoption
of the resolution were Mrs. B. S. SEQ
Vile, of Minnesota; Mrs. Mary A. Up
ham, of Wisconsin,; Mrs. Marion H.
Dunham Of Iowa. Mrs. Annie w.
Clark. of Ohio, and Mrs. Anna M. Blunt
ing, of Nebraska. They adopted a
minority statement to the effect that
the final ownership of the temple was
not impossible, and that the apparent
hopelessness Of the temple enterprise
lay in Encouragement and lack Of
united effort.
The temple trustees tonight adopted
q resolution to continue In their efforts
to raise money to retire the temple
trust bonds.

Butler Brothers, of Ellsworth, Clear
Up Fortunes In Alaska.

VICTORIA, July 16.-The steamer
Cottage City, which touched here on
her way to Seattle from Alaska, has
on board twenty miners from Dawson
City. with about three-quarters Of
million dollars in gold dust and drafts,
mostly the latter. They came up the
Yukon river in a steamer to White
Horse rapids, where they transferred
to a Lake Bennett steamer They say
banking accommodations in Dawson
City are now so good that there Is no
need for men to bring away anything
but drafts. They believe most of the
money will come out that way. Among
the miners who came on the Dawson
City, were the four Butler brothers, OF
Ellsworth, MINI. The eldest went in
three years ago: the other three last
year. They have cleaned up a large
amount on Bonnie creek. They sold
their claim to an English syndicate
represented by Mcfarland and H NJ
Coleman, the latter Of Whom came
down last night. The price cannot be
learned, but Coleman is authority for
the statement that it was a very large
one. All the men on board were very
reticent, saying the imposition of the
royalties caused them to refuse to state
the full amount of money brought out.

Won Drais devised vehicle to assist
him in the performance Of his daily
duties as chief forester of the Grand
Duke of Baden. This machine, which
was named Draisine after the inven-
tor, was thought to be the first rudi-
mentary bicycle. The bicycle depicted
on the window of the Stoke Poges
church bears general resem blance to
this Draasine machine, although it Is
still more primitive In appearance. The
Draisine was composed of two wheels
connected by a bar, astride of which
the rider" sat, and propelled the
machine by thrusting at the ground
with his feet.
