Destruction of the Eastern Shore.

The government engineers arr
making survey of the Chesapeake
Bay, its rivers and the adjacent
country. Capt. j. W. Down, En-
gineer in Chief, has furnished q
sketch of this important work fol
the Perryville Record.
1t appears, according to the in.
vestigation of the engineers, that
the shores of the bay are steadily
and surely wearing away and being
carried out to sea. The following
is the concluding paragraph of the
Captains prediction as divulged t.
him by the oracle of science:
"The measure of good accruing
from a scientific standpoint is OBJ
vious. The erasion of shore in
many places is remarkable-as for
instance Poplar Island has been re-
duced in area one-third-this hall
century. No part of the shore is
building up-dsgradation is the
rule-and sometime in the far dis
tant centuries the Eastern Shore
will cease to exist and the Susque-
hanna river will pour down its
flood directly into the sea. 1t is
quite practicable to define a general
rate of progress in that direction
as the work of erasion goes steadily
and constantly on"

LONDON, March 14.-In the house of
lords the premier, Lord Salisbury, read
the British governments reply to Presi-

"Her najesty's government can only

LONDON, March 14.-The United States
charge d'affaires, Henry White, saw
Lord Salisbury at the foreign Office and
received a formal reply from the British
government, declining the good offices
of the United States in regard to the
peace.
The interview between Mr.. White and
Lord Salisbury was very brief, the pre-.
mier confning himself to courteous
verbal declination, without entering
into details.
The representations made to Great
Britain were so put that they assumed
