CHICAGO DRAINAGE CANAL.
The Subject of Discussion at West
ern Waterways Convention.

MEMPHIS (Tenn.), Nov. 15.-At to-
days session of the Western Water
ways Convention, L. E. Colley engin-
eer of the Chicago drainage canal,
spoke with regard to that project His
idea was to connect Chicago and New
York by canal and Chicago and the
Missouri River by canal. He even
thought by this means that the trade
of New York would extend along this
route to the gulf In 1887 a conven-
ton was held at Peoria to further the
canal project Other conventions in
dorsed the idea. Chicago, he said. is
now contributing to canal which
would eventually become the property
of the Government. The enterprise,
which now represents an investment of
35,00O,0O0, would, when completed,
represent an outlay of $50,00O,000.
The speaker denied that the canal
would pollute the waters of the Mis-
souri,, but instead, it would be a great
and powerful commercial to gulf traf-
fic.

Will Plead Insanity When His Case
Comes UP for Hearing.

( STOCKTON, Nov. 15.-The arrest of
w. j. Goldsworthy formally charged
with burglary in entering building
with intent to commit arson. is still
the main topic of conversation here. He
was arraigned this morning, and his
preliminary trial set for next Satur-
day at 10 a. m.
1t is now a pretty well settled fact
tina his defense will be insanity and
this is borne out by the fact that lis
attorney has made no attempt to raise
the $1,000 bail, for the probable reason
that the insanity plea might be re-
garded as thin under the circumstances.
His store, which was attached last
night by the San Francisco Board of
Trade for over 5000, is still closed.

THAT METEoRIC SHOWER.
It Has Not Yet Developed Even a
Suriukle,

The sky was perfectly clear a'ter
midnight last night, but up to Z O'CLOCK
nobody had reported having sighted
any of the erratic denizens of the heav-
ems that had been so anxiously looked
for.
The moon shown very brightly, how
ever, and possibly that may have been
the reason no meteors were seen, or
we may have passed them in daylight.
1t is subject, however, on which 1t
would be idle to speculate, for the rail-
ure of the embarrassed meteors to show
themselves is keeping even the wisest
of the scientists guessing.
