TO SELL ERIE CANAL.
Federal Government Ray Purchase
New York Waterway.

New York. July S1.-Lieutenant c.
w Raymond Of the United States
board of engineers on deep waterways
has written to the superintendent of
the Maritime association, A H Smith,
in connection with trans ortatlon from
the lakes to foreign ports He says in
part:
IF a twenty-one foot ship canal is
constructed from the lakes to the sea,
in accordance with the plans and esti-
mates of the board of engineers on
deep waterways it viii undoubtedly be
necessary for the state of New York
to transfer the Erie canal to the fed
eral government. A ship canal cannot be
constructed along the route proposed
by our board without interfering with
the existing Erie canal The views of
the board We're required by congress as
to the comparative advantages of two
channels having depths of II and 30
feet respectively. The question whether
it is desirable for the United States to
construct any deep waterway from the
lakes to the Atlantic tideWater was not
submitted to the board for considera-
ton and the board has not expressed a
direct opinion thereupOn."

scOrnful residents Whereabouts Went un-
noticed.
The period Of citation following the
social victory of the FstzsimUonses
over the Bensonhurst four hundred was
rudely Jared. however, by several
events, one Of which yesterday brought
the lanky pugilist before a seaside
justice in the role Of defendant
Minnie Glennon, buxom espinster,
swarthy of visage. and ain ost as mus
cular of arm as the tawny blacksmith
himself, enacted the anomalous role
1t was she who had acted as chief
caterer of the aforementioned dediea-
ton OF Rose Villa only few days
ago, and received encomiums from the
guests and even the Fitzsimmonses.
But a cloud came, presaging the
storm that followed. when muscular
Minnie GlennOn accidentally seasoned
the champions morning mush with
powdered bOrax instead OF salt.
Then the eminent actor, blacksmith,
fighter and society light arose IN all ms
six feet and odd of altitude and used
unparliam entary language
This he admits, but he yesterday de-
MED to Magistrate voorhees, IN the
Coney Island police court that ne had
crossed the dead line of gentf1ty ana
given utterance to the violent .explet-
ives such as charged by the woman,
which had caused her to hang her mead
in shame and HE herself from beneath
the roof of Rose Villa
The former F-itzsimmons caterer was,
however, firm in her contention that
the freckled lord of the manor called
her out Of her name" as she put it.
After such a horrible verbal solar
plexus attack she could not conscien-
tiously remain in the wrestler fighters
employ, she declared; but she wanted
vengeance for her injured feelings
Magistrate Voorhees, listened pa
tiently for half an hour to the testi-
mony, during which the ruffled
plumage of the complainant became
somewhat smoothed by Judicial diplo-
macy.
When the court announced, however,
that there was not sufficient gravity In
the charge to consign the defendant TO
the long term of imprisonment that ne
undoubtedly deserved, the angry wo-
man confided to court attendant that
the liberal distribution Of perfectos by
Fitzsimmons upon his arrival among
the court attaches and newspaper cor
respondents was probably responsible
for her defeat.

PITY Is WHITING A BOOK.
Great Fighter Will Tell About "Phy-
steal Culture and aelf-Defense-"

A. J. Drexel Biddle. of Philadelphia,
sends out this announcement:
Robert Fitzsimmons is writing a
book an Physical Culture and Self
Defense which his friend A. J. Drexel
Bidd1e, the publisher, will publish. Mr..
DreXel Biddle is already arranging for
special editions of this book
A. ]. Drexel Biddle tells many things
of interest about FItz
1.-THE only trait he writes, for
which his worst enemy can criticise
him is that of his unbounded gener-
osity. But here again the harsh critic
must pause, for Robert Fitzsimmons IS
possessed Of the keenest powers of per-
ception and can discern between the
worthy and unworthy with almost I'M
erring augment.
He (meaning the same r. F1tzsim-
mons), A. J. Drexel Biddle continues,
lis a man of iron viii and can conceal
any gloom that he may feel with such
perfect ease and under so sunshiny a
manner that not even his intinaates can
know his inward thought. But this is
the only deception Of which Robert
Fitzsimmons is guilty of practice. He
is Straightforward and frank TO a de-
gree rarely found in even the best of
heroes outside of fiction"
A. J. Drexe1 B1dd1e adds this certifi-
cate to Mr.. F'itzsimn Ons moral worth:
He is 1aw-abiding, GOd-fearing
man, a good citizen and model hus-
band and father In the privacy of his
beautiful home at Bensonhurst one
finds the true Robert Fitzsimmons.
There in the great house set in the
midst of shaded lawns and garden,
Fitzsimmons spends the happiest times
of his life. He wants no other COM
pany than that of his loving wife and
children But his friends are at all
times welcome and spare rooms stand
ready for them. There is not a trace of
the pugilist at the home of Robert Fftz-
simmons No athletic apparatus of
any kind, not even a punching bag, is
to be found on the prem fses. His
training has always been done away
from his home, as another man would
do business at his Office"

This news comes from Mr.. Whitney's
private secretary, Thomas J. Regain,
who is in Lexington, Ky, looking over
