an expert bugOlogist and comes mere
on a bug-hunting expedition.
Mr.. COmpere represents the Calffor-
MIA State Board of Horticulture. At
the April meeting of that body the
matter Of sending an expert entomolo-
gist to foreign ports TO collect and i
port into the State for general distri-
button parasitical and predaceous in
sects was considered. 1t was suggest
ed that Professor Albert Koebele be
secured, but owing to that gentleman s
services being engaged by this Govern
ment and the Planters Association
that was found impossible Therefore
Mr.. Compere was chosen to undertake
the work and attend to the shipment
of bugs
Mr.. Compere leaves for the Fiji
Islands on the 9Th: thence on October

to San Francisco in about ten months,
when, if deemed desirable, ne will BE
sent to the South of Europe. The ap-
reputation made by the California
Legislature for the work was $500.
the first bill calling for $4,000 having
been vetoed. Among the instructions
Of the Board, of Horticulture are the
following:
1T is the desire of the board that
the investigation shall be extended
over as long a period of time as pos
Sible, and for this reason the funds at
our command must be economically
expended. We do not wish to curtah
or hinder the work in any way, or
strictly bind you to the fulfillment of
these instructions, SO you are to use
your best judgment, but we believe
that the expenditures should not cX-
ceed at any time $500 per month, so
please try and keep within that
amount if possible.
Professor Koebele, who is expected
on the next steamer from the Coast,
will join Mr. Compere in the Fijis AMI
will work in conjunction with him.

TIE move in the {. s. senate

If is probable that the majority CT
Americans do synipathize with the
Beers in their unequal contest
with Great Britain, yet it shou,d
be remembered that the latter
country showed open sympathy
with the United States in the war
with Spain. and the least we can
d3 is to refrain from any express
sion as a nation Of opposition TO
the British in the present circum-
stances. There is one step. how
ever, that this country might and
should take in the matter, and
that is to observe the strictest
neutrality towards BON beIIger-
elts. The British did not show rs
the least favor by act in our con
test with Spain. and when Tar was
formally declared, lost no time in

AZ fNTERcoAsTAE CANAL.
san Antonio Express.

Every now aud then some o. q
suggests the construction of an Ia
tercoastaf canal ff6n Browusvills
to the Sabine river, and the opeis-
ing for navigation Of all the
streams that empty into The clIain
Of bsys and lakes along the Texas
coast. The project las been pro-
nOa1ced feasible by engineers who
have made partial surrey OF the
route and by others who have
given the subject some attention
In fact 4 company was organized
some years ago to construct such q
canal and the route was game over
by some business men who were
interested in the project with the
idea of getting it under way, but
no material progress has ever
been made.
A bill was introduced in Con-
gtess last week by Representative
Kleberg directing the Secretary Of
War TO open mp navigation be-
tween Corpus Christi and Point
Isabel by way Of Laguna de Mad
ra. This is part OF the inter
coastal waterway that would re-
auire nothing more than a sufli-
Icient amount of dredging to afford
the required depth, except, Pc
hSbs, for cutting through a more
desirable passage than exists from
Corpus Christi into the La
Guna; which extends all the
way to Point Isabel. The dredg-
ing would give land-lOeked
waterway free from all the perils
Of the Gulf for traffic between the
points named and would undoubt-
edly be a good thing for both
Corpus Christi and Brownsville
and the intervening territory. A
LITTLE more dredging would open
the route to and east Of the mouth
of the Colorado, where the coast
touches the edge OF the Gulf. BY
excavating a few miles the mouth
Of the Brazos would be reached by
the intereoastal canal aud then a
few more miles Of excavation would
connect it with galveston bay, thus
afording what might be called an
inland water9ay from the month
of the Trinity to tire mouth of the
Rio Grande.
The opening of this waterway
would necessarily involves the OPEN
ing up to navigation of as least a
portion of the large streams which
empty into the Gulf and would re-
suit in the development of a con
siderable area Of productive caps5.

and would greatly enhance the

utilized in some sort. The matter
OF such a canal may some day be
taken upin earnest and utilized 70
