Norfolk, Va, Feb. 2S.-The board Of
engineers, appointed by the govern
ment to investigate the feasibility of
an inland waterway from Norfolk to
Beaufort, n. c., met in the Office OF
the United States engineer at the
custom house today and will remain
in session for four days. The board
consists of Colonel Leach and Cap
tains Flagler and Howell. These Off

the proposed canal is to run and now
/ they will consider the matter and dis
cuss the various features, preliminary
to their report to the government con
cerning the estimate of the cost of the
canal and on its value to shipping.
The proposed waterway from Nor.
folk to Beaufort is 200 miles long and
from 10 to II feet deep and could ac-
cOmmodate vessels which draw up to
eleven feet The dangers of Hatteras
would be avoided and shipping men
claim that there would be a great saw.
ing to floating property. The other
end of the proposed canal is forty
miles below Cape Lookout and the
trip could not only be made quicker
| but also safer. There has been a gen.
eral demand for the canal.

JOINT STATEHOOD IS

How was this gerrymander to be

ITO accomplish this the two terri

they are to be brought in tcgether,
willy-nilly, whether they like it or
not
At this point Mr.. Cromwell grew in

great heat, lis un-American and a
shame and disgrace on a selfrespect-

pie of Arizona for making such a
fierce fight for what they consider
their rights and libertiess But l do
blame tnem fer heaping upon New
Mexico SO much contumely and abuse
OF course, II may be said In their be
half, that in their desperation they
seize any weapon to effect their pur
pose, but to use such a weapon as they
have employed against New Mexico 1;
unworthy the people of Arizona"
What made the president change
his mind in reference to statehood

Washington. d. c., Feb. 2S.-lm-
mediately after the conclusion OF
routine business in the senate, Sen
ator Foraker took the floor in order
to deliver a promised speech on the
railroad rate question. Foraker de-
livered a carefully prepared speech
against the bill.
Foraker conceded that some evils
exist in connection with the railroads,
but urged all could be more effective
ly met by an amendment to the Elk
ins laws than by passing the pending
bill. He announced his regret at dill
fering from the president, brit said
he could not see his way clear to pur-
sue any other course.
His attitude toward the pending
railroad rate bill was correctly out
lined in his first paragraph, in which
he said of the bill. ut is so contrary
TO the spirit of our institutions and is
of such a drastic and revolutionary
character that, if not in its immediate
effect, at least as precedent. its
consequences are likely to be most
unusual and far reaching

CREW SAVED AFTER
NIGHT OF HORROR.

Norfolk, W. Va, Feb. 2S.--After a
narrowing night on the deck of the
four masted schooner, George NJ.
Grant, with life savers unSble to
reach them either with life boat or
with breeches buoy, and death STAR
ing them in the face for several hours,
the crew was rescued today by a tug.
The schooner went ashore and the
conditions grew worse as the hours
passed, and Just before the arrival
of the tug it looked as though the
crew, already half frozen, would have
to take to the rigging to save them
selves. Immediately after the rescue,
the schooner sank and the decks be-
came awash. The lumber cargo is
still intact, but the conditions on the
coast are still severe and the vessel
is a total loss.

GIGANTIC MERGER OF
ELECTRIC RAILROADS,

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 2S.-It is asserted
upon good authority that the Wander
bilt-Andrews syndicate, formed last
year, has almost succeeded in obtain
ing control of the various link lines
which, If connected after the compile
tion of the necessary arrangements,
will form a continuous line of electric
railways between Chicago and Boston.
At present the syndicate is quietly
buying up link roads in Michigan, Ohio
and Indiana. BY expending 100000
the Vanderbilt interests have recently
taken over the last link of the Mohawk
Valley system Of New York state and
have gained full ownership of line
from Albany to Niagara rails. The
aim now is to get control of the con
meeting or "limited" lines from Mag.
ara Falls to Chicago by way of Cleve-
land and Toledo.

Hon oliver L. Cromwell of New
York and Albuquerque arrived in this
city last evening and will remain sew
eral weeks looking after his heavy
real estate interests mere. Mr.. Crom-
well in conversation with a representa-
tive of The Evening Citizen stated
that his wife and daughter had sailed
from New York February II for an ex-
tended visit in Europe and that his
other children were at school in Con
necticut.
Speaking of the statehood question
Mr. Cromwell said:
The most important political ques-
ton before the people of New Mexico
at the present time is that of state
hood. / believe all are satisfied that
the condition of sovereign state
would insure 10 all a great and general
benefit, but we are somewhat divided
as to the best course to pursue TO at
tain this very desirable end. Some be-
lieye that it would be better TO accept
statehood combined with Arizona,
rather than none; some that uncom-
bined statehood would be so much
better that it is worth waiting for"
"Hor do the people of Arizona, in
your opinion, stand in the matter,
was asked of Mr.. Cromwell.
We'll, the people of Arizona are
mostly of the latter opinion" answer
ed Mr.. Cromwell, while larger par.
| ty in New Mexico, who are perhaps
more progressive, are favorable to the
former.
Il am not inclined to express views
on this question, but | believe if the
proposition of single statehood fol
New Mexico, or that combined
with Arizona, could be submitted
10 a vote of the people there would be
little doubt of the result"
"Do you think the territories have
had a fair deal in the matter of state
hood?' the reporter asked.
81 have no hesitation in saying tina
the manner in which the territorie.
have been treated in this connection
is perfectly scandalous. the who'll
matter has been dominated by a sena-
torial faction, the animus and bias o
which was made evident by the sen
atorial investigating committee whicl
visited the territories few years ago
with the sole purpose of making an ad
verse report, and keeping the territor
les cut Of the Union.
why was this senatorial committe,
so anxious to keep the territories out
Mr.. Cromwell?' inquired the reporter
THE reason is easily discovered ant
plainly to be seen. The power AM
control in the senate of the Unitet
States, now with the republicans
would have been seriously menacer
had Oklahoma, Indian Territory ant
Arizona been allowed to send six dem
ocratic senators against two republi
can ones from New Mevico. The ques
tion of admission of these territorie
to statehood, however, was one tha
would not down, and TO make the bes
of bad bargain it was determined Il
so combine them that by a clever pc
litical gerrymander the combinatio
as now proposed would result in tw

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

New York Feb. 2S.-Very heavy
liquidation was precipitated in the
stock market today, by the selling of

There were no conspicuous develop

Bachechi & Giomi, the local agents
for the Lemp Brewing company Of St
Louis, informed a representative from
this paper that the brewing company
has been notified OF the fire which de-
sroyed its beer depot in this city yes
terday afternoon particulars of which
appeared in The Evening Citizen yes
terday.
"WiN tie GeEct be rebuilt?" was
asked of one OF the firm.
Most assuredly,' was the response,
and as scon as possible"
"Will it be constructed on a larger
scale?' was the next Interrogation OF
the scribe.
NO, / do noy think so" was the
reply. You can say that the depot
will be constructed along lines sim
liar to the one destroyed, that is as
to size and material. OF course mod
ern ideas will be embedded in it."
The total loss by the fire has been
decided as $500. which are the fig
ures reached after including in the in
surance The building was worth S4.-
600 and the contents valued al $4,000,
making a total value of $4,000 The
insurance carried by the Lemp COM
pany on the building is $4,000 on the
contents Bachechi & Glomi carried an
insurance OF but $500. This makes
the loss OF the locaI liquor dealers
aggregate $f10O, and that OF the brew
ing company just an even $1,000
Although there is a shortage of

already been placed for another sup
ply which will be rushed through with
