ILLNESS OF THE CAR.
A Rumor that He Was Poisoned
Comes from Rome.

Rome. Nov. ia rumor is current
IN Rome that the Illness Of the czar Is
due 10 poisoning. and II Is asserted that
kilograms have been received al the
vatican saying that an attempt was
made to poison both the emperor and
empress, but that the latter was not
effected. This story. however. is not
believed. King Victor Emmanuel tele-
graphed for definite Information, and
got a quick reply that the car was as
well as could be expected.
CARS ILLNESS is SERIOUS.
London Nov. l6-The impression ex-
lists in most European capitals that the
illness OF Emperor Nicholas Is more
serious than 1t is reported to be. but
this Is probably based upon the knowl-
edge that the cars constitution Is
not strong and is little likely to resist
a serious attack.
In Copenhagen the Illness is attrib-
uted TO overwork in connection with the
Chinese chisls and there Is also sus-
picion that the hygienic conditions and
water supply at Livida may be faulty.
The dowager c2arina receives cour-
Ter twice day. Her departure from
Fredensburg had been officially fixed
for November 26th. Preparations have
since been made for her to leave at
any moment, and the fact that she
has not started indicates that there Is
no immediate danger. Il is feared.
however, that even IL no complications
ensue the attack may be Of long dura-
ton.
There is'no news from 81, Petersburg
on the subject beyond the official bull
letlns, which indicate that the. attack
is only slight no high temperature
having yet been reached.

POWER CANAL COMPANY,
A Hearing on the sheldon Bill Set for
April 1.

Representative Burton, chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee has tele-
grahped all interested parties asking them
to appear before the committee on April 4,
when hearing will be given on the Sheldon
bill, which seeks to grant authority to the
power canal company that is building a
canal from a point above the falls in Sau.t
st. Marie river to a point below them.
A hearing on this canal project was held
some three or four weeks ago and was
largely attended by representatives of the
lake marine interests and the power canal
corporation. 1t is feared that the construc-
ton of the canal will injure the level in
the ship canal. and no authority was
ever granted the company to begin opera
tions, every safeguard will be thrown
around the work to prevent il from inter-
fering with navigation.
The lake carriers, ii is understood are not
pleased with the provisions of the Sheldon
bill, which gives to the Secretary of War
the right at any time to shut off the water
when it becomes apparent that the level in
the ship canal is not being maintained 1t
is feared that this will lead to litigation,
and that eventually much damage may be
done before the proper remedial works are
constructed.
According to some of the plans proposed
a commission composed of three civil engi-
neers and three government engineers may
be appointed. to be on the ground when the
water is turned into the canal. and If any
injury to navigation results the water will
be at once turned off.
