Sir Charles l.ees. goveriior-gnueral of llritish
(iuliinit, concerning the strengthening ot tho
frontier, llm increase of police and the pur
chase of a Maxim gun in the llritlsh-i iuiaun
territoiy, 'llm department was put lu pos
session of this Information on Wednesday
Inst, In mi cfllclal communication from a
high member of the diplomatic corps, when
the high council of llriilsli Ouuiiiu opened its
seuelou two letters from Chamlsrliun were
read. Tim government secretary also an
nounced that there wus an important tele
gram referring to the purchase of Maxim
guns, which would not be rend until the
council went into secret session.
Mr. Chamberlain's letter ol date September
7. ls'JV refers to llritish Guiana's old re-
-sources autrthotT' ImportftDce to the hecesit)
01 opening up tne gold territory to miners,
and the construction of certain roads. If nec
essary, tu tho junction of the Irmin and
Cuyiui rivers. Ilu further suggests, lu tlio In
terests of tbo miners, that the (iuliiun police
force be strengthened, and that barracks be
erected at lruan uud one or two other points.
After rending ttm letter the government secre
tary olb'red llm following resolution-
"J hat this court sanctions the following
oxpi ndlluro being churned anlust tho reve
nue for the current year: l'liichase of one
Maxim gnu and ammunition. I;i-'il: two ad
ditional sub-inspectors ot police, 720: uni

62.11. .li.''
Tim si eretn'.y offered a second resolution
appropriating r 1,0 0 for a barracks at I'ruau,
tho point where the recent trouble in Vene
zuela occurred. In a speech supporting the
resolution he said, with regard to the pur
chusn of the Muxiiu gun, that it was the di
rect w ih of the secretary of state, Mr. Uaiii-
I. erlilln.
The members of council miido considerable
fun ot the Maxim guu purchase proposition.
U -during that such u measure was useless,
mid when the matter ramn to a vote the mo
tion to buy the gun was voted down by 10 to

PROPELLED BY ELECTRICITY.
Suceessfu! Tost at Tonnwandn in the
Prcscence of Many Men of N te.
Saturday ulteiuooti the ofllclal test of eloot
rlcity us applied ti the propulsion of canal
boats on the Trie t anal was made, and fouud
perfectly satisfactoy. '.'rowds lined tlm bauks
of the canal for uu liour before the test was
begun, uud when the stmt wus finally made a
shout went up Irom 2,000 h routs, it was a
great day for the state's waterway. It means
that once more there will be c practical con
tinuous string of louts from the Niagara to
the Hudson. The harbors now c.-owded with
rotting hulks will again bo llllou with in
coming and outgolutf craft loaded with tho
nation's commerce. A uew era of prosperity
has duwued lor the Trio canal. Soveu cuuul
boats were used lu the test.
'Ihe 12-year-old sou of Supt. Aldrblge rode
behind t.ie motor cur uud turned the lever
when the "ar started up. Kvervthing went
well. 'J he bouts hesitated a moment, uud
then forged through tlm water at a rate of
between three nnd four miles an hour. The
average speed on the up-trip, imaiust the cur
rent, was three und thruu-lllttiH miles an hour,
und returning, with the cur rout, lour and
oue-teaths tiilles.
The system which was so suocessfully tested
and which it is proposed to extend to the en
tire leuutb of the cnual. Is remarkably simple.
The motors nm merely electric mules, aud
take the animals places in toutug tlm Pouts.
Grunt motor curs aro suspended iu mid-air
from immense cables on which the current is
carried. A man seated behind tlio mo. or di
rects its niovemeuls much us does the tui.tor
iiiuu of uu ordinary trolley cur. The possible
speed of these motors running free Is llftoen
miles uu hour, und nothing but the canal
Itsulf can limit their reasonable spued.

CLEVELAND AT ATLANTA.
Ho Wus Oiven a Warm Greeting by tho
Masses.
President Cleveland was the lion of the
hour nt the Atlanta Exposition Wednesday,
aud the reception which was accorded him
bn never been excelled in the South.
The city was thronged wlh visitor from
points near and fnr, nnd at an enriy hour the
streets were almost impassable. The Presi
dential party, however, avoided anything in
the nature ot street scene by being driveu
rapidly to the grounds by a circuitous route.
After a burned inspection of tho buildings
President Cleveland was driven to u staud,
from w hich bo reviewed a parade of troops.
lie was then introduced ny president I ha.
A. Collier, of the Pxposltlou Company, and
responded with a Lrmf speech, which was
chiefly congratulatory of Southern enterprise.
Southern industry nnd southern rccuperullou.
'llm President was greeted by an ovation
which lusted for several tmuutes. His speech
though short, consumed considerable tune In
delivery because of tho frequent interruptions
of npfilause.
At its conclusion Mr. Clevelnud held an In
formal reception. A Hue was formed along
the frout of the eland, aud a squad of police
kept it open. President Cleveland took a
