CANAL IS NAVIGABLE.
Trip From Chicago to LOckpOrt
Made in Steam Yacht.

Summit, Ill, Jan. 20.-To demonstrate
the practicability of the drainage canal
as a link in the deep water way be-
tween the lakes and the gulf, the sani
tary trustees today aboard of their
private yacht the Juliet made the first
trip between Chicago and Lockport over
the new water course The twenty five
feet depth of the channel afforded ample
room for the trim yacht. The voyage
was made in quick time. In addition
to the drainage trustees and other sani-
tary officials there were aboard Mayor
Harrison, Commissioner of Public Works
McGann and other men prominent in
official and business life.
The Juliet left her dock at Western
avenue at 1890 a. m. and a few min
utes later the waters of the drainage
canal were for the first time churned by
the propeller of a steam craft. The
feasibility of changing the canal into
a deep waterway course was demon
Strated to the satisfaction or the party
aboard and the matter will be pushed
from this time on. During the trip,
Trustee Jones authorized Mayor Harri-
son to tender the Juliet to Admiral
Dewey for a trip down the canal dur
ing his coming visit to Chicago The
intention is to interest the admiral in
the deep waterway proposition as well
as to afford him entertainment during
his visit. Mayor Harrison assured the
trustees that he would endeavor to Sc
cure the admiraps attendance for the
proposed trip.

BRISTOW DIDN'T KNOW 1T.
Ignorant Regarding Appointment of
Polyeamous Postmasters.

Washington, Jan. 20.-In the house,
polygamy investigation yesterday, Post
master General Smith detailed the cir
cumstances as far as they had come to
his knowledge, although the two ap-
pointments under consideration were
made prior to his administration. He
had found, however. that attention had
not been directed to any charges prior
to the appointment, although subse-
quently papers which had been submit
ted were brought to the attention of the
higher officials. One of these was a
letter from n. L. Clemenson, pastor OF
the Presbyterian church of Logan, Utah,
addressed personal to the president"
stating that Mr.. Smith, the postmaster
al Logan, is a high ecclesiastic of the
Mormon church living in polygamous
status"
There was also a petition received.
Mr.. Smith presented q. letter from Mr..
Porter, secretary to the president dated
yesterday, saying: There is no office
record of the receipt of any letters, pc
titions, or protests concerning the ap-
pointment of John Graham as pOstmas-
ter at Provo City, Utah"
A letter addressed to the president
under late of Logan, Cache county,
Utah, November %, 1897, by IN. E.
Clemenson, pastor Presbyterian church, ="
was referred to your department and
an acknowledgment from this office
was made to the writer on NoVembe

Logan, Utah, December g. 1897, signed
e. w. Nelson. John NJ. Boyle, William
Braugham and Others. relating to the
same subject was received and ac-
knowledged December p, 1897. This pc
tition was referred to the postoffice de-
partment on December "A, 1897"
Mr.. Bristow. assistant postmaster
general, asserted that he made up
brief relative to the presidential ap-
pointments to postmastership and when
these Utah cases were briefed he had
no knowledge of any polygamous
charges against the parties. The Glenn
ensOn letter at that time had not come
to his attention nor did it get before the
postmaster general, as the clerks who
handled it, did not so brief it as to call
special attention to it.
Mr.. Lentz and Mr.. Grosvenor again
explained the talk between them, show
ing that the difference was mainly as
to words and that Mr.. Lentz did not
seek to place any inference on them.
The hearing went over until next Tues
day, when Mr. Bristow will be heard
further.

This work produced a sensation and the
subject was freely discussed in literary
circles although Ruskin concealed his
identity under the name of An Oxford
Graduate
Not only in literature but in art he
achieved fame. He was celebrated in
water color and work in oils. He var
led his literary work by writing upon
almost every conceivable subject. Works
on political economy, art criticisms,
architecture, church building, elements
of sculpture, perspective drawing, fairy
tales, mythology of the air, cloud and
storm, and in addition to all these
things endowed and suggested severa;
plans for the betterment of some of the
lower classes of society in his own
country.
Ruskin was for a long period at the
head of one of the departments in Cam
bridge university and later gave an en-
dOwment of $4,000 to the Taylor art
galleries in connection with that insti-
tuition.
Ruskin has not done much active
work for 25 years His literary produc-
tions ceased several years ago, but some
of his books and treaties upon the var
ious phases of the study of art are used
as texts in the leading schools of the
country. He was offered and declined
the appointment of poet laureate after
the death of TennySOn.
