WESTERN ENGINEERS WANT WATER

CONGRESS TO BE ASKED TO BEAR EXPENSE
OF GREAT UNDERTAKING
IN THIS STATE
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuxE.I

Albany June 26-Mr Bond, State Engineer.
stated to-day that few days ago he received a
visit from two eminent engineers who brought
him Il letter of introduction from Mr. Hay, Sec
retary OF State. Their names he unfortunately
had forgotten. These gentlemen said the object
of their visit was TO secure copy of Mr.. Bonds
recent elaborate report upon the probable cost of
constructing barge canal across this State, and
any other statistics bearing upon that subject in
his possession.
They stated that practically every State in the
Northwest was in favor OF the construction OF a
larger canal over this State for the sake of low
erng the of the transportation of wheat
and other Western products to Eastern markets
The failure of the canal men of this State last
winter however, to come to any agreement upon
a plan for canal improvement was discouraging
to Western shippers. and therefore they now
thought appeal should be made to Congress
to improve the canals of New-York at the ex-
pense of every State In the Union.
The Western engineers said that 1t be-
leved West that a twenty-one-foot canal should
be built from Buffalo to Lake Ontario and then
from Oswege. on Lake Ontario. to the Hudson
River. This is the least expensive line for such
a canal. canal of twenty feet In depth
would cost about $500, 100000. The United
States. the Western engineers said. would have
TO undertake IL. NewYOrk State could not be
expected alone TO accept such financial burden.
Further. the Western visitors said that before
Congress met again. in their belief the Congress
men from the States of Indiana, Illinois Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota. Ne
braska and North Dakota would come to an
agreement upon a policy of canal improvement
TO be undertaken by the United States Govern
ment and that this policy would include twen-
7 IT,
taro, and from Lake Ontario to the Hudson

at Bellevue Hospital. has been seized with a
mania for biting nurses. Since last Monday

assisted by w. J. Paul day nurse and his
assistant nurse, Jones' attempted to examine
VogeIie in the presence of the patients wife.
The sight of her seemed to arouse Vogelie to
fury, and he made a violent attack on Paul,
scratching him on the neck with his finger nails
and then injurng the nurses neck with his
teeth. Vogelie's teeth are uneven and Jagged
and the injuries which he inflicted with them
were most painful He finally became so
violent that the hospital attendants were COM
PEELED to place him under restraint with cuffs
and belt
God has ordered me to infict all the in

to be held responsible!'
On Wednesday afternoon another attempt was
made to examine Vogelie. His wife present

nurses could rois Sc the hold of the madman he
had choked his wife until she was almost un-

clusion to what the bank would do The

After this announcement the Clearing House
committee instructed the manager to eliminate
from the clearings all transactions connected
with the Seventh National Bank.
The Seventh National Bank has been in ex-

interest In it was purchased by a syndicate, the
leading members of which were Perry S. Heath

his brother, Fletcher S. Heath.
The first move of the new interests which at
tracted public attention the taking over
of the money order business of the Postmaster
at New York which had long been controlled
by the Chase National Bank.
An active and successful effort was made by
the new interests TO secure as correspondents

West, where the Heaths well known and

and closed with something very like a
slump and with the list in a very ragged

New York. Jan. 2.-The cotton market
today was decidedly more active than in
some time. while the session as whole
reflected return of old time investment
speculation. Sentiment in general was or
friendly character and Wall Street dis
played more interest of substantial sort
than since election day. The market
started steady in tone with prices one to
six points higher and for time was COM
paratiyely quiet, though gathering
strength was clearly manifested. The
early English cables were considerably
better than looked for, while domestic
news from nearly every point favored a
Erner market Shorts were in hasty
retreat at the end of the first half hour
and in their efforts to reach cover were
forcing values upward sharply. Later in
the forenoon bull speculation on fairly
general lines came to the front with the
result that a net rise of ten to fourteen
points was apparent at noon. Southern
spot markets were reported higher, with
holders offering little cotton of grade
suitable to the needs of the domestic
mills or exporters. Receipts were small
er. Early in the Afternoon the market
again gave demonstration of inherent
strength by advancing even more rapidly
than in the forenoon on public confrma-
ton of the morning reports that spot cot
ton was higher in the South Fears of a
higher Liverpool market tomorrow impell-
ed shorts to reach cover. Bull sentiment
reached high pitch and investment buy
ing in the last hour was the feature of
the. days trading. The March and May
options were the center of attraction.
The market closed steady, nine to twenty
points higher.
