NEW SYSTEM OF CANALS.
State Engineer Bond sends Plans 60
Governor OdeIl.


Albany, Feb PA marvellous sys-
tenn Of state canals. the boats to be run
by electricity and to be 100 feet long
by % feet wide. with a draft of 10 feet.
and to travel in fleets going from Al
bany to Buffalo in less than three days.
is the plan presented by State Engineer
Bond and capable board of engineers
to Governor Odell The system is to
be built for S7.000.000 less than pro-
posed by the canal commission ap-
pointed by Ex-Governor Roosevelt. The
canals will be able to carry 150O0.OO0
tons Of freight in season of seven
months.
The figures presented by Mr. Bond
to Governor Odell are in round num-
bers: For building an Erie barge canal
on the route favored by State Engineer
Bond, S49,000,O00; for deepening the
Oswego canal to nine feet. $SJ9,026
for deepening the Champlain canal to
six feet. $5.472. 900; total cost of canal
Improvement. S55.331,026
These figures are surprising, because
| it has been intimated that the figures
| of the canal commission, $62.000.0OO.
would be far exceeded when careful
survey is made. The figures for the
Erie canal are S9.00S.000 less than
those of the commission, while the fig
ures for the Champlain canal are three
times the amount asked for by the
| commission.
The report submitted by Mr.. Bond
TO the governor is Endorsed as to its
cost. so far as II relates to the proposed
canal bill. by George s. Greene of New

CALLS CAUSE HOPELESS
Acting President of Transvaal
Advises Surrender.
KITCHENER HAS AEARR0W ESCAPE

Beers Blew Up Train Ahead of
Him-Armored Trains Were Hur-
ried to the scene, bat Too Late to
he of Avail.
London, Feb. 21.--Reports from Ly-
denburg say that Acting President
:schalkburger, addressing a gathering
of burghers recently, told them that he
now recognized that their cause was
quite hopeless and that prolongation
of hostilities was futile. Personally,
he added, he would take it upon him
self to advise surrender, but he
would say that If surrender was in
evitable 1t was foolish to surrender in
twos and threes, as the proper course
was to come to general agreement
and surrender as nation.
Lord Kitchener has again narrowly
escaped capture by the Beers. While
returning to the Transyaal on Mon
day from the supervision of the chase
after General De Wet the supply train
preceding that which had the com
mander in chief on board was blown
up at the Kip River station. and an
engineer and four guards were killed.
The train was demolished before Lord
Kitchener, who was but few miles
behind, was able to hurry forward
armored cars and drive the burghers
! off.
This is the third narrow escape
which the commander in chief has had
during his travels over the South At
rican war field and indicates not only
that the Beers are burning with the
desire to take him prisoner. but also
shows the accuracy with which they
are able to intercept him.
Several morning papers are provoked
to the reflection that the Beers efforts
may be crowned with success If Lord
Kitchener continues his tours.
General De Wet has lost his pursuers
in Cape Colony None of the six col
umns assigned to chem him in" reports
amy progress or any information of his
whereabouts.
