TO BUILD A!
SHIP I: CANAL
Project to Connect Delaware
and Chesapeake Bays by
Big Waterway.
BILL PENDING IN THE HOUSE
Canal Will be Of Great Value,
Especially to the Eastern
Section Of the State.

(From Our Regular Correspondent')
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 3.-The
people OF Eastern Virginia have never
appreciated, perhaps, the advantage
which is to be derived by that section
from thu construction OF the ship canal
connecting the Chesapeake and Della
ware bays. This is assuming that the
bill, which is now pending III the House,
providing for the construction OF the
canal, becomes a law. Of which there
is rea sonablc prospect
The waterway will be OF immense value
10 the eastern section OF the State es-
peclally, and the States Of Maryland,
Delaware, PENNSYLVANIA. and, indeed
The entire Middle state coast, Will DO
greatly benefited should the canal be
h,,in, The effect of tho building OF the
canal would be the creation OF an inland
waterway from Philadelphia to Newport
Eews, and an avoidance Of the heavy
storms which are encountered on the out
side route at present, and which cause
the loss every year OF many lives and
probably millions of dollars worth OF
shipping. ~
Representative Jones, OF the First Vir-
ginia District, Is at least one OF the VIZ
gginia congressmen who will attend the
dinner to be given by the citizens OF
Wilmington on the 9Th Of January, at
which a concerted effort Will. perhaps,
be undertaken to urge the construction
of the canal. Mr., Jones Is especially
Interested In the enterprise, for the rea-
son that It will greatly benefit the peo'
ple whom he represents IN CohsEess ~
tav.s the canal constructed.
