Cost of Two Waterways.

Comments on the estimates for 30
foot ship canal by the Mohawk route
from Lake Ontario TO the Hudson river
point out that while its estimated cost
of S20G, 00), 900 is about the same a3 the
| Nicaragua canal it would serve a much
greater traffic and contribute far more
TO the prosperity Of the United States
This is true; but the point which is
missed both by these comments and the
engineers report is that the canal which
would serve all purposes between the
lakes and ocean will cost far less than
| this sum.
There is not lake port into which
vessel drawing 30 feet of water can
enter. The majority Of them exclude
steamers Of 20-feet draft Moreover
steamers Of that deep draft are not
suited to navigation through long lines
of canal. Canada is getting ahead Of
the United States by building 14-foot
canals. If the United States should
build i6-foot waterways it would put
the advantage on its side.
The salient fact is, therefore, that for
the cost of the Nicaragua canal the
United States could build such canals
as are needed from the lakes to the
ocean, from the upper Ohio to the lower
lakes, and from the upper Mississippi
to the upper lakes, thus com pleting the
grandest chain Of internal na vigation in
the world. Wien that was done it
would still have some money left to
maintain the needed stage of waters in
the rivers ispatch

railroad Notes.

The Sharon and Butler railroad, the
line projected by the Sharon Coal and
Limestone company. will not be built.
An arrangement has been made with
the Pennsylvania company for the
building of line 13 or IA miles long
from Volant to the new coal and lime
stone fields in Butler county. The pro-
duct from the mines and quarIies will
be taken to South Sharon over the new
line TO Volant, thence to New Castle
and TO Sharon over the PENNSYLVANIA
road.
1t is said that the transportation fa-
cilities Of the Bessemer road are to be
increased this winter, so that at least
600, 600 tons more ore can be shipped
south during the coming season than
could be handled this year. Con
corning the three "clam-shellr automatic
ore unloaders, they are already com
plete and remodeled for next seasons
business. AT the time that the first one
Of these machines was finished. it will
be remembered, much was written and
said about it, it then being the first and
only automatic ore unloader in ex-
istence. The three which are now
practically complete are still the only
ones of their kind extapt.

The African War.

The Beers attac ked the English at
Nooitgedacht last Thursday and cap
tured the place and next day the battle
was resumed at Krugersdorf.
On Friday Gen Kitchner sent word
from Pretoria that five officers had been
killed, and that eighteen officers and
five hundred and fifty-fve men had been
captured.
Four Northumberland companies.
comprising England 8 pride, her famous
Fighting Fifth" were gone. Kitchner
admits that there were 573 of them, Is
officers and j5j men, fighting on the hills
at Nooitgedacht. when they were sur
rounded and overwhelmed by the Beers,
who had already sent General Clements
with his battered army back into the
hills. How many Northumberland boys
went to death. before being taken pris-
ner, or what has been done with the
soldiers of Her Majesty by the angered
Boers, is not known
and Kitchners plan of burning homes,
imprisoning burghers on suspicion Of
disloyality and driving his own forces to
the limit of endurance has operated TO
swell the Boers' dwindling ranks. His
harsh driving leaves the British troops
in condition to be beaten. 1t may be
suspected it will also enlist the active
aid of Cape Colony Beers, who formerly
gave nothing but sympathy to the
Afrikander cause.
The British disaster at Nooitgedacht
has caused feeling akin to panic,
in England The moral as well as the
physical attrition of the war is telling

merely for the purpose ofS sightseeing
This is Senator'S Emery's first visit to

that their visit comedies with the effort
the Quay men are making to assure
themselves that all the Senators they
claim will support Snyder for President,
and whether those that are known to be
faithful to the Quay interests cannot
suggest some way for assuring the elec,
ton of the Quay candidate. 1t is said
that many more members of the As

sirable to visit the national capital be-
fore going to Harrisburg. The Quay
people are searching all the records they
can find to discover, if possible, if there
is precedent for a Lieutenant Cover
nor voting when there is a tie on ques
ton of organization. The assiduity of
their search is so great that the infer
ence that a tie is as good as they expect
is not violent one.
