feEMWlJdFlfi Sis&i evi?al of an Old Plan to Solve llie eied Manama Canal Question. KHE UHTEEI0& OF THE ISTBMDS rinrned Into a Larre and. KaTijaWe. Lake, at a Loir Cost. ONLY ABOUT 5SO.000.000 KECESSAEI Carry ,Ont a Scheme Ones Before Proposed, ini Kcw Advocated. , An old idea is revived. The plan of turn ing the Isthmus of Panama into a" great lake, as a way to solve the canal question is again broached. Its advantages and dis advantages are discussed and set forth. 2EW Yoke, December 26. Under date of the lGth a letter from Panama, received here, says: 2Tow that the technical com mission of inquiry into the bona fides of the Panama Canal -works is actually within measurable distance oi onr shores, it goes without the saying that expectancy here as reached a white heat, everyone being more or less afflicted with the ague of an ticipation as to what will be the outcome of the inquiry. Just at this stage the isthmus is flooded with copies of a pamphlet written by M. G. Sautereau to describe his project for $he completion of the canal by converting the interior of the isthmus between the present completed termini ot the canal into a large navigable inland lake, at the estimated comparatively low costof 400,000,000 francs, and which, moreover, if adopted, could be carried through in two years' time, or at most two and a half years. Before describing this project it maybe here stated that it is by no means a new one. bo tar as I am aware it originated witn a member of the International Survey Com mission of 1878, who differed from the recom mendations of bis co-laborers and suggested instead the project that is now put forward with certain modifications and elaborated details, after 11 years of fruitless effort to carrv throuch the original project then agreed upon. OUTLINE OF THE PLAN. About four years ago, when the more fore sighted oi the canal engineers began to real ize the impracticability of carrying ont the adopted project, one of the then leading spirits, M. Hutien, reverted to this scheme and even drew up plans and estimates em bodying the details, or at least the prelim inaries of the project The plan now put forth by M. Sautereau can not therefore be regarded as an original one. The outline of this plan is, first, to dam the Bio Chagres at Bohio Soldado, to which point the Atlantic end of the pro jected tide level canal has actually been carried, being about 14 miles from the Colon terminus. This dam to contain a high level dock christened in advance "Christophe Colom." On the Panama ide tha Bio Grande to be similarly dammed and locked by the "Ferdinand de Lessens." Thus the valleys of both rivers would be inundated, their waters being turnel back upon the land and transformed into a lake. Bat Cnlebra remains to be dealt with. This M. Sautereau proposes to cut through to a width of 60 meters at the floating line. Thus,then,th.Panama"Canal"wouldreally consist of a lage navigable lake, entered bv locks sitna.ed inland, and the approaches to which wonld consist of the termini of the canal alrca ly cut The projected locks are donble and parallel, and are estimated to re quire 450,000 cubic meters of solid masonry, one to be filling while the other was being emptied. This masonry work, it is pro posed, would form one compact block in .each case, the dimensions of which would 4 dwarf the great Pyramid. ' BIG ENOUGH FOE ALL. -.Easily entered and without danger, these locks conld afford passage to 40 ships daily or lour times the number the present arrangements propose providing for. As both works would be approachable from the first by water, through the terminal sections of the canal already navigable, the trans port of material would be an easy matter, and as the works on both would proceed concurrently they would be completed with in a year. The estimated cost of each lock is 0,000,000 francs. Culebra it is proposed to attack from the bottom level, and in such a manner tnat tne water mat now nows on the Atlantic side of the watershed should be diverted to the Pacific. This work, it is also estimated can be completed in a year, while the locks are being constructed, and at a cost of 200,000,000 francs. Other esti mated expenses are: Expropriations, 20, 000,000 francs, and railroad deviation, 20, 000,000 francs; altogether. 40,000.000 francs. "What with deepening channels, etc., the whole work of completion on this plan is estimated to occupy two years, with an additional six months thrown in for con tingencies. In this plan that has been thus elaborated 'the projectors have only followed the sug gestions of natnre, as any one can realize who has seen the Kio Chagres spread itself tar and near over the country when dammed up and turned back npon itself by the furious inrush of the Caribbean Sea up the channel of its lower reaches. The only real obstacle to the execution of the plan seems to be the enormons height of the locks 28 meters and which seem to be altogether out ot proportion. Doubtless, however, should the plan be eventually adopted, this part of it will be modified. Of course, the water supply a rather essential requirement in trie lormatioa of a lake! will be drawn from the three great rivers, Chagres, Obispo nnd Grande, and which thus, instead ot being a perpetual menace to the enterprise, will become docile auxiliaries of the canal. QTJITB AS IMPORTANT. Another important feature, and not alto gether beside the question, is that 1he exist ence of such a lake right in the center of the Isthmus would render the whole locality a healthy one, and around the shores of which thriving towns would soon rise, the cen ters of agricultural and commercial activity. The project is certainly a fascinating one, and will doubtless receive due attention from -the commission now on its way hither. On them does its final acceptance or rejection depend, and after they have visited the scene and decided for themselves on the possibilities, as compared with the mass of information already in their possession, it may be regarded as certain that they will recommend that plan which in their exper ience and wisdom commends itself most highly to. their consideration. Mr. Sautereau is himself expected to ar rive icre very shortly. Supposing the commission to report favor ably the question will then arise, "How will the further work of the enterprise be carried on? Whence will come the means? This - IpointiHr. Brunei will have to settle with the PIJUCUU1UC1B otiu UCUlKflO.

A. PBEPOSTEBOTS ACCUSATION. Our local budget of news contains noth ing of very great interest to .Northern read ers. I may. however, take advantage of Ljthis opportunity to refute, and on the best 'possible authority, a statement recently bade by the Etoilt de France, doubtless ijh the malicious intent of accusing the Director General of the Canal Company gbere of misspptopriation of funds. This jetatbment was to the effect that M. Jacquier ihadMontted to the fund for the restoration Ibf tJfe Merced Church in this city the little trifle of $30,000. Onthe face of it the state- Knent.u preposterous, but it has occasioned jreesitvandSlwhichlhas VUiUIUCniLlV ,OOttt'K called forth from Bisliop Peralta aTcategori- cat denial thereof, which he has sent to the press. He says that he has never received from M. Jacquier for any such or other pur pose one single real, although, had he been solicited, doubtless he would have contribu ted to the work from his private purse. The Government has just entered into a contract with Mr. Brochet for the erection between this city and Colon of a telegraph line, and which provides also for the main tenance of four intermediate stations. The Panama Railroad and the canal company already possess lines of their own, but which,aithough at the service of the public, can hardly be regarded as fulfilling the tele graphic requirements of this age of-rapid commuaication. Hence the Government's action in the matter, and which looks to ward the obviating of the existing inconven iences. Everything is in readiness, andithe work will be commenced as soon as the for malities of confirmation of the contract bave been got through with. WASHING TO BMUGOLEBS. Eecentiy several arrests have been made and seizures effected of loreign skippers and their ships for .smuggling on the San Bias coasts. In these particular cases it is quite possible that the plea of "ignorance" is a genuine one, as I have personally encoun tered at least one captain, an American, who was honestly under the impression that his trading license, issued at Colon, covered everything and gave him the privilege of transhipping foreign importations 'direct irom the vessels to their destination. For the benefit of others who may be inclined to enter into this really lucrative trade with the coast Indians I quote here the article of the customs law bearing on the subject And for contravention of which the seizures men tioned have been made: The importation of merchandise on the coast of San Bias is not allowed by Colombian cus tom house legislation. This, as the exporta tion, can only be done through the open ports or by those expressly qualified for the execu tion of such operations. The ships instead of being dispatched to San Bias should be sent to Carthagena, from which port the merchandise will bo nationalized and then reshipned to San Bias as coastal commerce. . This translation (which is more faithfnl than elegant) is simplicitv itself, and is far removed from the reproach ot legal phrase ology in general, which is said to be "ine briated with the exuberance of its own Terbosity." If after reading this any American skipper gets run in by the ubiquitous La Popa he will have only him self to blame. THREE CHILDREN CREMATED. Burned to Dentb in the Presence of n Hun dred Powerless pectntors. Omaha, Neb., December 26. Three children of Mrs. Lena Schipp were burned to death in a cottage shortly after 8 o'clock this morning. One was a boy of 7, another a girl of 4, and the third a baby boy 6 months old. The woman's husband deserted her eight months ago, and she has since been earning her living by taking in wash ing. This morning she started the kitchen fire and locked the door, and went out to get some clothes. During her absence the house caught fire, and the children were burned to death in the presence of 100 peo ple, who were powerless to save them. A STARTLING DEATH LIST. Chicnco Railroad Crossings Responsible For More Than 250 Fatalities. Chicago, December 26. In the yellow- eared book in the Coroner's office, in which the names of subjects for inquests are put down as fast as they are reported, were re corded this morning seven fatalities at rail ,road crossings. The fatalities did not all occur this morning, but represented the work of the locomotive dnring the past 48 hours.

Bp room i rTHB.TOITS'SBTJR'C 'PPSEINGIft'DipRM A Cloud of 'Witnesses GiYe Damaging Testimony Yesterday. A LAWYER'S QUEER TESTIMONY. The Defense Begins Its Case, and Conclude To-Day. May EVAN JONES WAS MULCTED FOR 450 By Arbitrators In the Claim f Marjaret Schwab Ins Seville Sewer Cast, The prosecution ' in the conspiracy case against Alderman Porter' closed and the defense commenced. Hopes are expressed of concluding the long-drawn-out case to day. The arbitrators in the case of Mar earet Schwab vs Evan Jones award the plaintiff $150 damages. The conspiracy case against Alderman Porter and his three constables was again resumed before Judge Slagle in Criminal Court yesterday. Attorney W. J. Jordan was again on the stand, this time for cross examination by Mr.' O'Donnell. The wit ness said that he had said in Hogan's saloon that Porter would be sent to the peniten tiary. The witness admitted having been indicted by the grand jury for false pre tense. James Taggart, of 251 Second avenue, testified that he had been prosecuted before Alderman Porter. Tom Carney was the arresting officer. He gave bail for a hearing in the case. Carney afterward came to his house and wanted to settle the case ior money. Hilly "Washington, colored, of fligh street, and Gertrude Benz bad both been sued before Alderman Porter. The former for selling liquor without license and the latter for fortune telling. Both cases were settled for a money consideration. INSTIGATED BT THE ALDEEMAK. Hugh Daly was recalled and testified that he had entered suit against a Mrs. Kippler for fortune tellinc at the instigation of Al derman Porter. The case was afterward settled ior money. At this point the Commonwealth rested, and Attorney James E. O'Donnell opened for the defense. Mr. O'Donnell made a very clever opening, in which he outlined the things that thedefenseexpected to prove. First, that there was no conspiracy. Second, that the Commonwealth's witnesses were in the main disreputable people, who would swear to almost anything, and third, that the witnesses did not tell the truth, but told stories manufactured by detectives, who coerced the witnesses into telling what was not true. The first witness called by the defense was James M. Nellis, a newspaper reporter, who testified that he was in Alderman Porter's office on official business on the day that Mrs. Curry was there, and was in a position to hear all that was Said. Alderman Porter did not tell anybody to put money away as a reporter was present and wonld see them. The Alderman did not tell Mrs. Curry to go borne and tell fortunes for $1, bnt he did tell her to quit the business, or he wonld send her to court. The 'Squire had informed the witness at tbat time tnat tne case against Mrs. Carry had been dismissed, es she was a poor woman with a large family to sup port. MONET WAS .OFFERED. James H. McCnrdv was called and testi fied that dnring last January he had entered suit against Maud Campbell and Charles Huff, before Alderman Porter, making four separate charges against them. At the first bearing both defendants were held for court, but that a rehearing was had. and, on the testimony ot Miss Campbell and three other witnesses, that Miss Campbell was not a proprietress oi the house, but en gaged there under salary. The case against her was dismissed. Huff was convicted and sent to the workhouse, Attornev Jordan, who represented Miss Campbell, sent the witness a notice of tfee rehearing, also some letters asking him to withdraw the suit The witness stated tbat he never got any money to settle the case, but tbat Attorney Jordan had offered him money, which he refused. Mrs. Lida McCurdy, wife of the former witness, corroborated the testimony of her husband, and stated that Miss Campbell and others had offered her money to induce her husband to not prosecute the case, but she refused it After hearing this witness court ad journed until this morning. 'The case will likely be concluded to-day. SMITH'S CASE GOES UP. JTho Supreme Conrc Asked to Inlerfero In Tbat First Dccreo Sentence. Attorney "William McElroy yesterday filed a certiorari in the Quarter Sessions Court to take to the Supreme Court the case of "William H. Smith, convicted ol mur der in the first degree for the killing of his wife. The case vill probably be argued at the next session ot the Supreme Court to be held in Philadelphia.
