The expedition fitted out hy the authority o(
the United States for the purpose of surveying
aud exploring route across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepee for a ship canal from ocean to
ocean will leave to-morrow for their destina
tion from the Washington Navy Yard. It will
proceed by way of Vera Cruz. That the expe
dition is at all under way U a cause for con
gratulation, for for some time it was feared that
it would have to be abandoned from want of au
appropriation. An examluatlon of the law,
however, lias shown that the Navj Department
Las ample authority to supply the necessary
funds, even without a direct appropriation from
Congress.
The expedition is commanded by Captain
Shufeldt, and the small squadron, detached for
the purpose, is composed of two vessels, the
Kansas and the Mayflower, the former com
manded by Lieutenant-Commander Farquhar,
and the latter by Lieutenant Randall. Captain
Shufeldt goes In the Kansas. It is thought that
the expedition will be absent about six months.
The oflicers of the two vessels are to do the
hydroerapliie work on the Atlantic side. The
oflicers composing the party Intending to ope
rate in the interior and on the Pacific coast
consist of Lieutenant-Commanders G.C. Rcmey,
1. R. Ba'tlott, and P. II. Cooper, hydrographers;
Surgeon J. C. Spear, naturalist; Captain Bart
lett, United States Marine Corps, photographer;
Master Jasper, hydrographcr; E. A. Fuertes,
chief civil engineer; assistant civil engineer, T.
Y. Rae, who is second assistant engineer in the
navy, and Mr. Somers. draughtsman.
The United States Government has now most
sensibly come to think that a canal through the
Isihraus of Tehuantepee would be of the greatest
v ilue in the development of the interests of the
country; more so even than the improvement of
the passes of the West. It is thought Tehuante
pee offers the best military, political, and com
mercial inducements, though routes have to a
greater or less extent been surveyed in the
Isthmuses of Darien and Nicaragua also. This
expedition has been organized to ascertain the
practicability of a ship canal at this point as
preparatory to more elaborate surveys. To
ascertain if enough water can be found at the
highest points, if the harbors on both sides are
or can be adapted for commerce, and if the
country is Iree from the periodic inundations of
the lower countries, the present party has prin
cipally beeu sent. At a later time in the season
It is proposed to examine more particularly into
the surveys of Nicaragua which have been
mada by distinguished engineers. But wherever
the canal is located, our Government must
necessarily become its guardian and push it
forward to completion, thus furnishing a high
way for the world's commerce.
The President of the Tehuantepee Railroad
Company has received from Mr. J. J. Williams,
their chief engineer, a report of the examina
tion of the route specified. Mr. Williams visited
the isthmus, and in company with Mr. Eduardo
Guray, the Mexican commissioner, conducted
liis investigations in the best manner. lie con
elders the proposed route the proper one for
the follow ing reasons:
First. No tunnel will be required on the en
tire route.
Second. It will require no very deep cHttlngs.
The summit reach of the canal may be about
five miles long, through a nearly level plain, with
a depth of cutting but little more than sufficient
to contain the water to pass the ships. -
Third. There is a large extent of contiguous
territory with an elevation above the summit,
which, it is believed, contains streams that will
afford water sufficient to supply the summit
leel.
He thus continues his report:
"According to Moro's survey, the natural surface
of the grouud at the summit of Tarlfa is 684 feet
above the sea. The town of Tarlfa, five miles north
of this, is somewhat elevated, iu the midst of ground
eo level that in the rainy season It becomes inun
dated, fur which reason this plain has been called
the Lake ot Tarlfa. It Is ascertained that, with a
cut of a few feet at the summit of the pass, the
waters to the south of the town or Tarlfa would flow
toward the J'uclllc, while those on the north side
naturally run over gently descending; ground as far
as the uoatzacoalcoson their way to the Oulf. The
Almaloya river, six miles north of Chivela, Is on the
same level witn tne summit or xarira : hence it has
been suggested that the waters of Almaloya, ant) of
the other streams to the west of Tarlfa, might be
brought by trenches to the summit level of the
cuual. There is scarcely a doubt that, from these
combined sources, a sufficient quantity of water can
be obtaiued lo supply a ship canal, estimating its
highest proiiuble requirements. Possibly either
source would give sufficlcut. The streams east of
Tarifa, from which it is proposed to bring the water,
by means f feeders, to the summit level, are the
Cliicapa aud Ostuta. On the lormer, at a plaee
called l ltuuo Kancbo, the elevation is also on the
same level with the summit at Turifa. It Is possible
tout by deepening the summit cut, the whole volume '
of the waters of the Chihuahua might be brought to
the summit level of the canul ; lu which case the
Buramit reach might possibly be made as much as
eight miles long, and thus avoid the necessity of
bringing feeders from the Uhicapa, Ostuta, (Jitune,
or Almaloya rivers.
"As the ony objection that can be ma4o against
the TehuanHpec Canal is the number of its locks
(estimated to be from 60 to 08 on each side or the
summit, depending upon the deptn it may be
thought uecessary to excavate the summit cuf, I
will mention here that each lock of the Caledonia
Ship Canal cost upon an average iio.Ouo. This
amount, by i:u, the greatest number estimated as
required on the Tehuantepee, would give a cost of
85.34,0iH). The cost of the Caledonia Canal, exclu
sive of the locks, was $l52,oo per mile. This
amount by 17360 miles of canal proper and 123 of
slackwater navigation, both estimated at the same
rate per mile, to be on the safe side would give
S26,9U,00e, aud with the cost of the locks lncluued,
t;il, 030,000 as the total cost of a ship canal across
Tehuantepee. This Is estimated precisely on the
basis of the Caledonia Ship Canal. To show that
the number of locks required on Tehuantepee is very
far from being an insurmountable obstacle in the
way of the construction of the canal, take for ex
ample the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, with Its 393
locks snd Its height of lockage of alia feet, who will
eay, with the before-mentioned advantage In view,
that a canal across Tehuantepee, with one-third the
height of lockage and less than out)-tmrd the num
ber of locks )provlded, of course, there is no lack of
means), caunot be constructed or twice its width
and three or four limes its depth, or sufficiently
large to pass ordinary ships."
Mr. Williams says also that the locks should
be built on the double transit plan, though the
cost will be sixty per cent, more than single
locks. In speaking of the harbors he makes the
following recommendations:
"The fact of there being no delta at the mouth of
the river Ooatzacoalcos and the constancy of the
' depth upon the bar (from 11 to lti feet, depending
upon the winds and tides), which has remained un
changed, according to the history ef the country, for
nearly three centuries, proves that U has attained
Its regimen, aud Indicates that any Improvement, by
deepening the channel to IS or 20 feet, may be
relied on as permanent This being done, large
vessels could, with some Inexpensive improvements
of the upper part of the channel, ascend the river 34
miles. 1 have seen ships opposite Mlnatltlan, 80
miles up the river, loading mahogany from rafts
alongside. The Ispanapa, alsi a large river,
e hid lies into the Ooatzaooalcos, some IS miles above
the gulf, and Is navigable for vessels for some 80
miles or more above its mouth. It may, therefore,
I said that we have now on. the gulf side of the
Isthmus of Tehuantepee. at the terminus of the
nronosed railwav aad shin canal, two rivers, the
united lengths of which will form a harbor of over
60 miles in extent, sufficient, to say the least, to
accommodate a very large number of ships, If not
enough for the whole commerce of the world. As
to the harbors on the Pacluo, the lagoons can ie
made Into one of tins best in the world. Hoc a Harra,
the outlet of the lower lagoon to the sea, cau
be deepened to the required depth by dredg
tug aud by utilizing the outward currents,
nd a channel dredged throngh. The nuts of ths
ranal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific harbor
would commence on the gulf side at the foot of the
Island of Tararuichapn. the head of present ship
navigation, M mllps from the Oulf, and follow the
ineaudrrtngs of the river bv means of locks and
dams, or slack-water navigation, m miles, about 60
by an air line npon which it may yet be thought
advisable to make an artificial canal to the mouth
of the Malatengo. The fall of the fiver, on thi dis
tance Is 130 feet, or a little more than ons foot to the
m:ie, mostly above the Sara'tla, requiring only 13
locks. From the mouth of the Malatengo, where the
proposed route of the canal proper commences, for
no miles by way of the Malatengo, the vallev of the
t'hlchihua and Tarlfa rivers, to the natural' summit
of Tarlfa Pass, the rise Is Kin feet, requiring at most r.3
locks. From the summit. 20 mlles.down to the lagoons,
the fall Is 600 feet, requiring not to exceed OS, In
all ino locks. This number may be considerably re
duced by cutting down the summit For instance,
if It shonld be thought advisable to cut down the
summit 60 feet it would make a saving of 12 locks,
in which rase the total number of locks would be re
duced to 113 69 on the Atlantic and the same num
ber on the Pacific, slope.
"The most difficult portion of the canal to be built
Is embraced letween the Malatengo and the faot of
the mountains on the Pacific plains, and is only
about as miles long."
In the event of the surveys having a favor
able result, some of the leading merchants of
the country stand ready with capital to carry
the matter through. The value of the cargoes
belonging to the United States, England, and
France, which would pass through the canal
when completed, is estimated at 203,553,380;
and the vessels, with an aggregate measure
ment of 3,019,515 tons, and worth f50 per ton,
are estimated at 1152,475,750, making a grand
total of 1451,020,130. Of this tll, 168,037 is
estimated ns the value for the United States
trade, $ 07,210,60!) for that ot France, and 1190,
643,584 for that of England. Upon the above
tonnage, the yearly income, at $2 per ton,
would be $6,009,030, which is the estimated
annual gross receipts from tolls upon ships
belonging to the United States, England,
and France. This calculation does not
include the United States coasting trade
on both oceans, nor the trade that might be
expected from the other nations of the world
not mentioned.
From this it will be seen that the proposed
canal will not only be very beneficial to trade,
but will also pay handsomely for its construc
tion. Permission to make the surveys has been asked
of the Mexican Government by Secretary Fish,
through Mr. Nelson, our Minister in Mexico,
and assurances have been sent that it will be
promptly granted. These necessary diplomatic
arrangements will be made Immediately on the
arrival at Vera Cruz. Should the scheme at the
worst turn out imprabticable, which is far from
probable, the necessary explorations will of
themselves be of great value to commerce and
science.
MUSICAL. AND DEIAJIATIC.
'Minn find Wife" at the Arch.
The drama of Man and Wife, produced at the
Arch last evening, is an adaptation by the author
and Mr. Barton Hill f rom Wilkie Collins' very pow
erful novel of that name. Mr. II ill's share in the
piece we may presume to have been very small,
aud it may be accepted as a hasty rehash of the
novel by Mr. Collins, who, like all the popular
English story writers of the present day, was
anxious to secure the profits of a stage version
of his fiction in advance of other playwrights.
Dramatized novels are rarely satisfactory, aud
Man and Wife has suffered quite as much at
the hands of its own producer as it would
probably have done had it received the
attention of some one less interested in doing
it full justice, and it certainly gives us a very
low idea of the artistic sensibilities of an author
to find him deliberately mutilating his own
work as Mr. Collins has done in this instance.
The reader of the novel ought not to expect to
eee all its features reproduced upon the stage;
but where there is really good dramatic ma
terial there ought to be a reasonably good play,
whether it adheres strictly to the novel or not.
The subject treated in Man and Wife Is dra
matic In an eminent degree, and some of the
scenes and situations notably that in the second
act, where, by a complication of events, a
"Scotch" marriage takes place without either
of the parties chiefly interested being aware
that they have contracted ties that will
bind them in the future are highly effective
in themselves, but are unfortunately diluted
with verbiage and trivial explanatory points un
til much of the force is lost and they become al
most tedious and uninteresting. The conse
quence of this is that the play drags terribly just
in those places where it ought to be most rapid,
and the opportunities of the actors to act are
lost in the mass of unessential dialogue that they
have to utter. The subject of the play as of
the novel is the evil of the British system, or
want of system, of marriage laws by which per
sons united under the loose regulations of Scot
land or the complicated and unjust code that
rules in Ireland are unable at times to tell
whether they are married or not; and in the
novel Mr. Collins bus worked up the theme with
all the skill for which he is famous. If he could
have dismissed the novel from his mind alto
gether and written his play as an original treat
ment of the subject, he would have produced a
much more powerful and effective piece. As it
is, Man and Wife cannot be considered a very
striking performance,despite the numerous good
points it contains.
The actors last evening did their part towards
making the play a success, and if they did not
altogether realize to the fullest extent the char
acters of the book, the deficiencies of the mate'
rials with which they worked can be' offered in
extenuation.
The most striking feature of the performance
was a very artistic and very humorous persona
tion of the old Scotch waiter, l,Bi6hop Riggs," by
Mr. Craig. The "make-up" for this part was
admirable, and Mr. Craig has seldom done any
thing better in the way of eccentric character
acting. Miss Price performed the part
of "Anne Sylvester" In a highly satis
factory manner, and Mr. Hill made
an etlicicnt representative of "Geoffrey Dela
mayn," the athletic villain of the play, although
the part is not altogether in his line or calcu
lated to bring out the strong points of his style.
The remaining leading characters were credlta
bly personated as follows: "8ir Patrick Lun-
die," Mr. Mackey; "Arnold Brlnkworth," Mr.
James; "Lady Lundie," Miss Emllle Klehl;
"Blanche Lundie,"" Miss May Savllle; "Mrs,
Inchbald," Miss Mary Claire, and "Hester Deta
ridge," Mrs. Maeder.
