ada. for the Atlantic coast grain trade
of the United States is attracting q
good deal of attention in New York and
creating some serious apprehension
The fact that this movement is being
exploited by American capital is not the
least disturbing element in it. The
erection of grain elevators at Montreal
Is not, of itself, a serious menace to oul
| own Atlantic ports, but this taken In
connection with various canal enter
prises that are being pushed in Canada
and the further fact that Montreal Is
2oO miles nearer Liverpool than is New
York, the situation assumes serious
aspect. The fact that Canada has the
Welland and st. Lawrence canals
which are superior in many respects tC
the Erie waterway, has not enabled
Canada to divert the grain trade from
New York to Montreal, but it is new
project that is causing the former city
to fear for the future Of one of its larg.
est commercial interests. Canada has
now canal from Montreal to Ottawa
This it is proposed to extend along the
Ottawa river to Lake Nipissing and
thence along French river to Georgian
bay and Lake Huron, thus avoiding
both Lakes Ontario and Erie. while es-
Gaping all the hazards of navigate
from Lake Huron to Montreal. This
enterprise has already been begun and
1t is expected to open the canal to traf-
fic within the next three years. This
canal will have twice the depth Of wa
ter that the Erie canal possesses and a
capacity sufficient to permit large
steamers to pass from Duluth or Chi
cago to Montreal. 1t is intended to
make the waterway deep enough for
ocean steamers, so that there will BE
no necessity for transshipment between
Chicago and the great grain mart of
England. BY way of this new water
course the distance between Chicago
and Liverpool will be 700 miles less
than by way of the Erie canal and New
York. Not only is this the case, but by
way of the Erie canal there are 800
miles of artificial waterway. while
through the Ottawa river this will be
reduced to about thirty miles. all the
remainder being through natural water
channels formed by the Ottawa and
the French rivers. The result of using
this canal will be that it will take
no longer to lay down cargo of
grain from Chicago on the docks of
Liverpool than it now takes to put such
cargo in the elevators ut New York
going by way of the Erie canal. The
condition that cOnfronts commerce be-
tween the West and the Atlantic sea
board is the influence this Canadian
canal will have in controlling or direct
ing it, for it is idle to believe that grain
and merchandise destined to Europe
which reaches New York from the Mis-
sissippi valley, through Lake Michigan
and the Erie canal. will continue to fol
low that route when they can 60 by
the way of Ottawa and Montreal In
four days less time and save expensive
transfers both at Buffalo and the At.
lantic port. The outlook Is a serious
one and American ingenuity will be
taxed to its utmost to find way out
of the difficulty.

The capture of San Fernando was
made by the Ffty.frst Iowa, after a
gallant charge. General Hale led the
attack. He had two battalions of the
Iowa regiment, a Hotchkiss gun, and a
flank movement on the right was
made. To reach the city the troops had
to ford two shallow streams.
Before the advance was we'll begun the
main body of rebels fed to the north
ward from San Fernando, leaving a
small garrison. These fired on the
lowans when in the middle OF the sec.
ond stream. Although the rebel fire
was hot, the Americans were not
checked for an instant. With yell
the Iowans rushed up the bank of the
stream nearest the rebel rifles and be.
gan sprinting after the now fleeing gar.
rison. Heavily armed and accoute1ed
the lowans had handicap as against
the lightly clad rebels, and when out
run, many of the Americans stopped
his quarry with bullets. This chasing
lasted through the town and almost a
mile beyond. Tired out and wi.ided
the Iowans returned to fight the flames
consuming the public buildings from
the torch of the natives. and then held
the town until MacArthur's command
came I'D.

The Constitution requires that an
country shall be made as often as once
in ten years. Congress accordingly,
with the return of each ten-year period,
has passed an act In conformity with
this requirement.. The census thus au-
thoriZed, however, is no longer limited
to a bare enumeration of the people,
but includes special study of popua-
ton, mortality, products, resources and
possessions. A census is without value
unless 1t Is accurate. To be so. the
methods of taking it must be under the
direction of an excellent personal or
ganiZation. The census force in i'm
portant respects Is much like an army.
1t must be well Differed and we'll
manned to be effective. A large body
of men is required. That which is now
to be taken must have at least fifty
thousand enumerators. These will be
directly commanded by three hundred
supervisors practically one for every
Congressional district-the captains Of
the army. Above the supervisors
will be a considerable staff of chiefs
and department heads, the whole COM
manded by the director, who has a
skilled statistician as his immediate as
sistant. The twelfth census will crown
and illustrate the American nations
work and development for the nine
teenth century. 1t should be the best
that has ever been taken.

Now, in time of peace, the outlay on
education in European states is only
from one-half to one-twelfth the expen-
diture for ornaments. In the last thirty
years Europe has doubled this expendi-
ture, only to have the nations relatively
where they were before. Bankruptcy
and reputation must be the outcome
of the present policy. even if war is
averted. Poverty and disorganized in
dustry on stupendous scale in Europe
mean no foreign market for American
goods. When one nation suffers all
must suffer under our modern CONNER
cial system.

1t would seem that at last Great
Britain, with her logged determine
ton to excel in naval power any two
of her European competitors, has tired
out one of her rivals. 1t is noteworthy
that in the French naval program for
1899 there is no provision for new bat
tle-ships. In this respect, at least,
France begins to see the hopelessness
Of the building contest in which she
has been engaged. 1t was plainly
ridiculous for France to keep up n
rivalry in this regard with the greatest

1t was recently widely advertised
that Mr.. Carnegie would tell how he
made his first thousand dollars, and an
article appeared in a Philadelphia
weekly purporting to be authorized by
him. Now Mr. Carnegie writes to the

wise responsible for the article. The
explanation is that the compiler of the
Carnegie information is also trying to

HARBoR LINES ESTABLISHED
The commissioners Approve the Wa
h Department Charts.

Wharf ald harbor lines have now teen
established for the water front of the
river. The District Commissioners yes
terday endorsed and approved the chart of
harbor lines which had been prepared by
the Army engineers under the direction OF
Gen. John NJ. Wilson. Chief of Engineers.
The subject had been under consideration
at the War Department several months
until recently. when Gen. Wilson for
warded chart to the Commissioners. in
forming them that his engineers had COM
pleted their work.
There were two kinds of limits agreed
upon, namely, bulkhead and pier-head
lines The former will establish the limit
beyond which no bulkheads, or solidly
built piers may be constructed. Several
existing bulkheads, it is understood. ex-
tend beyond the new lines, but the state
ment is made at the District Building that
owners and occupants of such bulkheads
will not be molested or required to observe
the new lines. The pier-head line estab-
fishes a limit for piers. Beyond the lat
ter line no piling or piers will be per-
mitted. The object of the establishment
of wharf lines is to preserve enough room
in the river to meet all the requirements
of navigation.

MIR. KAUTz AGGRIEvED.
He Enters Complaint Against n san-
itary Inspectors Methods


itary Inspectors Methods.
r. A. Kautz, of 500 North Carolina Ave-
nue., has complained to the District Com
missioners that he has been subjected to
unjust persecution and humiliation by one
OF the employees of the District. The en-
ploye involved in the complaint is j. F..
Belts, one of the sanitary inspectors of
the Health Department. 1t appears from
the statements of the complaint that a
notice was served upon him to the effect
that he was maintaining filthy back yard
He was directed to abate the nuisance
within two days. At the expiration of
that period the complainant says the in
spector called again and Informed the
housekeeper that while the yard was all
right, garbage can on the premises did
not comply with the regulations. A notice
@as then served requesting Mr. KautZ to
appear in Police Court. The latter did so
and he alleges that during the trial the
inspector made false statement under
oath.
Mr.. Kautz wrote to the District Com
missioners some time ago making formal
complaint against wood saving and dog
bowling in the neighborhood. The noises
annoyed him. 1t appears that he thinks
that the police served a warrant on him
because he refused to swear out warrant
agaLfst the man who owned the dog
The entire matter was referred by the
Commissioners to DR.. Woodward, the
Health Officer. From the report made by
the latter official. it appears that the
inspector was unable to make later inspec-
tions because the servant at the house had
been instructed TO prevent the entrance OF
the inspector during the absence of the
complainant from home. Under the cir
cumstances the latter viii be informed that
il is not believed that he has just ground
for complaint, especially as the court ad-
judged him guilty.
