THE-VSOO'.' CANAU
Tho Orcnt Commercial Importnnco ot
Tills Wiitcrwny.
All tho commcreb of Lake Superior
thnt Is sent to or front it tintfet pass
through tho Salilt Ste. JInrio fcanal, tin-'
til tho Cannillans finish tho parallel
waterway, which they aro huildinp; in
order to ho in all respects independent
of us. Naturo makes the waters of Su
perior to llow into Huron by means of
tho Ste. Marie river, but in doing bo
they drop to Huron's level, which is
somewhat lower than that of the king
of lakes. They make eighteen fjet of
tlie descent suddenly by the rupiflsi
which give to the artificial waterway
built to avoid them tho name of tho
Kault. Ste. JIario canal. "Soo" and
'Soo Saint Mary," or "Susan Mary," as
it Is often called, aro western forms
tho words take. Commercially speak
ing, this canal added Superior to tho
frreat lako system or route, connected
it directly with tho Atlantic and tho
world at largo, and shortened very
greatly tho railroad carriage of oro and
grain to the east, and pi coal nnd gen,,
eral merchandise to tho far west. Tha
canal accommodates an-amotint of traf
fic which for years has been greater
than that of the Suez canal. In 18S0
freighting through the great African
canal amounted to a gross tonnago of
8,183,313 tons, hut it has decreased, if I
am not mistaken, whilo tho tonnago
that passed "tho Soo" in 180p was 9,041,
813. It is interesting to noto that of
this sum tho proportion of freight car
ried by Canadian vessels was only six
per cent, in 1888, and fpur per cent in
1889. It is also worth whllo to noto
that of tho nine millions of tons floated
through tho canal in 1899, about 4,509,-
9Q9 were castrbound and 3,000,009 wero .
west-bound.
Hut tho canal is inefficient; wofully so
in tho opinion of tho extra pnergctio
shippers at the Lake Superior porfs,
who assert that its inability to pass tho
largest vessels fully laden operates to
the advantage of their great rival, Chi
cago. Tho depth of water in tho canal
in 1890 ran from fourteen feet and nine
inches to fifteen feet nnd three inches,
and during tho first half of 1891 it va
ried between thirteen feet and ten
inches to fourteen feet five inches. Suoh
vessels as are now being added to tho
lako service draw sixteen and a half
feet, and in viewpf the present depth of
water in tho canal it will bo seen that
they lose several hundreds of tons a
trip by carrying only partial loads. Tho
government is awako to tho situation,
and the, now lock which is now building,
at a cost pf four millions of dollars, will
bo 100 ieet in width, 31 feet deep and
1,200 feet long.
Tho fact that tho canal does moro
business in seven months than tho Suez
canal effects in a year does notgivo.so
clear an idea of its importance as is
gained from the consequence, of a slight
accident to tho lock year beforo last.
This necessitated closing tho canal tem
porarily, but it cost tho men and com
panies who use tho canal a loss of about
ono million dollars. There were at that
tlmo one hundred and eighty-threo ves
sels waiting to pass out of Superior, and
nearly as many going in the other direc
tion. Julian lialph, in Harper's Maga
zine WHY SCADSBY FAILED.
Ills Knowlcdgo or Finances Wns Not What
It Should lie.
Scadsby was a fool. Nobody doubted
that and nobody had ever been asked to
doubt it. Scadsby was paying very
marked attention to a rich old fellow's
daughter ami it was a pretty well un
derstood, fact that if she had been poor
Scadsby would not have been paying
her attention. However this was not
tho sign by which people told that
Scadsby was a fool. Tho old gent was
a crank on tho'flnanclal question and
was violently opposed to silver. Scads
by didn't know anything abqut this.
Tho old man would about as soon havo
thought of conversing with Scadsby on
finances as ho wpuld havo thought of
talking on subjective idealism to a
clothes-horse. Ono flue morning Scads
by called on the young lady's father.
"I came," ho said hesitatingly, "to
ask you for tho hand of your daughter."
"LFm-er," was all tho old gentleman
said as ho looked over his specs at tho
emotional applicant beforo him.
Then he talked a whllo and Scadsby
thought ho wns going to win tho maiden
handicap hands down.
"By tho way," asked tho old financier,
"aro you iii'favor of gold or silver?"
Scadsby was knocked silly in a min
ute and began to go lame.
"Oh, well; ah-um-er-well," he stam
mered and blushed finally," "it doesn't
mako uny difference to mo. Edna and
I havo beon talking it over and wo have
concluded that If you will give us three
or four good renting houses and a block
or two, of six per cunt stock, we'll try
to hustle along some way and you
needn't put up a cent of cash. Ain't
that fair?"
Somehow It didn't, strike tho old man
that way and tho way ho struck Scads
by was so perfectly appalling that tho

GOVERNMENT SERVICE1 RESUMED.
A TtMolutloii Tlml tlio Appropriation of
T.int Your Hold Ovr ft'ir llmr llnys
A(lotetl--Oviirwhiiliuliigt, .ISvltlnnoe In
litvor iifjtuljro Cobb.
WAsmiTOTOs, Aug. 8. If th,e(fliidtt.f
of tho World's Pair Appropriation do at
they say they will, nothing will 'have
been aeeomnlUhed bv the Democratic 'mu
cus of Inst night, nt whloh It wns voleAl
to postpone consideration of the proposi
tion to appropriate until next December.
JRepresontHtivo McCum of Illinois suld
this morning that tho supporters of tho
World's Fnlr Approprintlon would con
tinue to press their cause until Congress
expired by limitation of law, on Maroh 4
next.
"They will continue," snld he, "to In
sist on carrying out the will of the ma
jority." Representative Durborrow agreed with
the sentiments expressed by hfs collengue.
If this program be carried out the cau
cus will merely result in substituting ttie
friends of tho World's Fair appropria
tion In the place of its opponents as fill
busterers. The' caucus was held to endeavor to ef
fect an agreoment by which tho present
deadlock on the World's Fair Appropria
tion clause in the Sundry Civil hill could
bo broken nnd a speedy adjournment be
brought about. There wero about 100
members present, with Representative
Hi tman in the chair.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Mutch
ler of Pennsylzanift, which In effect was
that there should be a vote on a separato
World's Fafr bill, making an' appropria
tion of $5,000,000 in aid of the World's
Fair, on the first Wednesday in December
next, after six hours debate, and that
only 8 amendments thereto should be in
order. After considerable dUcusslon this
was adopted CO to 81.'
The first business in order when the
House assembled yesterday was the reso
lution presented by 11. Ilolman (Dem.,
Ind.) to extend the government appro
priations for four days. He explained
the necessity for the appropriation and
said the House was confronted with a
peculiar situation. The gentleman from
Illfnois (Mr. Hopkjns) had stopped the
wheels of the Governinent by objectlpg, to
the consideration of the resolution on
Saturday last. Never before in the his
tory of tho Government had such a state
of affairs existed. He wanted to bulldoze
the House, and so objected.
Mr. Heed (Rep., Me.) followed with a
characteristic speech and said that the
blame, for the. failure to pass the Sundry
Civil bill rested with the Democratic ma
jority and the filibustering ugalnst tho
World's Fair. Mr. Ilolman. was responsi
ble in a larce decree for .the nresent con
dition of things, The appropriation for
tho World's Fair hail the sanction of the
Senate and also ot 140 members in the
House, and there was nothing urged
against it except the miserable technical,
lty that some think it ought not to aiv
petjr In an appropriation bill, The gentle
inun from Indiana had the boldness to
stand up hero and charge his sins on
other men. A House with 140 Democratlo
majority was responsible for legislation,
and yet Mr. Ilolman had blamed this mat
ter upon the other slue.
After further discussion Jlolman's reso
lution was adopted and sent to the Senate,
and by unanimous consent was passed by
mat body.
'Hie llurry in some parts of the govern
ment service, caused by the failure ot the
House, Saturday, to extend the appropri
ations in the last Sundry Civil bill until
August 4, was soon over. When the law
governing tuo case was carefully exam
ined, it was learned that the occasion for
a llurry was comparatively limited. At
least it was discovered that generous pro-,
vision had been made for carrying on gov'
ernmentul ailulrs, and tlio failure to pass
a Sundry Civil bill would not cause wido
spread disaster.
In case of failure of any appropriation
bill, it appears, as stated by experienced
authority, all bureaus'ordepnrtments, the
existence ot which is necossary for the
preservation of life or property, continue
to Up buslucss under the provisions of tho
last previous act, and in all departments
whatever is necessary to be done for tho
sunie end is authorized. Ry this provision
in case of the failure of Congress to pass a
Sundry Civil bill, the life saving service,
tho hospitals and prisons, tho llght-houso
service and the marine hospital service
would be maintained on the old basis. In
the present instance the Government
printing Olllco vas the qnly establishment
that did not continue operations as usual.
In others the employes assumed all the
risk of receiving compensation for their
lubord, a risk wliich ended, when the joint
resolution was signed by the President.
Shortly before noon the special com
mittee of tuo House investigating the
churges made by Representative Watson,
of Georgia, that members hud been seen
on the floor of tlio House to 'stagger and
reel from drunkeuness.resumod Its labors.
Kx-Goveruor Jo-iiah Tatterson, of Ton
ncihee, was the first witness called.
He said lie Imdjiever noticed a member

Ho had known Mr. Cobb sincq his arrival
hero us a member ot tho House, and tho
day that Mr. Cobb made his speech on the
Noyos-Rookwell contested election ho
(Mr, Puttersou) hud listened to him
throughout his argument, which was a
very long and exhaustive one. He had
seen Mr. Cobb drink from a cup, but as
to It containing whiskey he could not
fctuto. As to Judge Cobb's being drunk ho
wished the public to know that it was not
true. WitnuM sat within four feet ot Mr,
Cobb when he was making his speech.
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, was tha
next witness. He said that ho was not in
the llouko the day that Judge Cobb spoke.
Mr.' lloatlier asked htpi it he had ever
seen any member ot tho Houso drunk on
the lloor of the House.
Witness replied thut he had never seen
such a thing and was ot tho opinion that
such u thing had never taken plaao on the
lloor.
Mr. Simpson objected to tho question.
Mr. Boutner told lilm thut lie could ap
peal to the committee.
Mr. Simpson I do not wish to appeal
to the committee.
Mr. Watkon made a statement to tho
effect thut he was satisfied with tho In'
veat.igutlou, us it had proved thut his
charuuu were true, and that he did not in
tend to make theuharge general Ty against
the Houso, but only ugalnst individuals)
Mr. liynum said that this Houso Was aM
sober and dignified n body as ho wai over
in. . ..
Delegate Marcus Smith of Arizona was
next cajlod. Ho was present when Mr.
Cobb spoko otf the day mentioned. Ho

Mr. Botttnor asked If lit had ever seen
numbers stagger about the House. 1
Air. smith replied thnt he had not seen
any sneh state of affairs.
Mr. Simpson Have you ever i"en atloh
an instance oceur during your wrvioo ot '
three' ternm in the House!
Objected to by Mr. (iroat, of Vermont.
rikI Mr. Simpson withdrew tho question.
Mr. Smith said that Mr. Cobb, as
every member of the House knew, was
delicate and of a nervous temperament,
ana mat. Jt waa liecexsarv for him to take
soino nourishment, as it would havu been
impossibla for liiin. to have talked for
two lioura as he did without it.
General Meyer, of Louisiana, vrns tlio
next witness. He was of the opinion' that
Jlr. Uobu was sober when lie delivered
his speech on the Noyes-Kockweli con
tested election, case, He noticed that ho
was somewhat mixed toward the end of
his speech, but that wos dojibtless due to
the freaucnev of the Intorrimtlons wiiinb
occurred during the colloquy.
Gen. Wise, of Louisiana, olerk to tho
Committee on Interstate Commerce, said
that ho listenod to Mr. Cobb's speech from
the gallery, and wus of the opinion thut
he was perfectly sober.
W. P. Hepburn, Solicitor of the Treas
ury Department, ald that, he was at the
Capitol speciully to hear Mr, Cobb's
speech on the Noyes-Rockwcll case,,and
Unit he liuu not been able to discover any
symptoms of drunkenness about Judge
Uobu.
He had known Judge Cobb for years
and knew him to be sober and upright.
Mr. bimpson objected to Mr. Hepburn tes
tifying as to Mr. Cobb's character.
Mr. lioatner Miiil ho hardly thought it
necessary to go so fur us
Hero Mr. Watson broke in and re
marked: "Yes, so far as the restaurant."
Mr. Hepburn was excused and the com
mittee took a recess in order that mem
bers might respond to a call ot the House.

Glinrfre il'Afltelres, lllinm the Matter

WAsittiroTON, Aug. 2. The results, if
any were reached, of the conference yes
terday between Mr. Foster and Sir, Herbert,
British Charge d'AfTaires.over toU ou the
Canadian canals, in connection with the
retaliation net passed by Congress, nre ;
carefully guarded.
It is said, however, that Mr. Herbot In
tlranted that tho discriminating tolls
charged against American vessels for uslnj;
the Canadian canals, whllo within the
letter of the treaty between tho two coun
tries respecting the navigation of the
canals and the St. Lawrence, was proba- j
bly not In accordance with tho spirit of
the document.
Ho disclaimed any knowledge of an in
tention on the part of tho Dominion gov
ernment or that of the mother country
to enter upon or to authorize a
series' of reprisals against tho United
States In case President Harrison acts un
der the terms of tho new law.
' He probably recognized if he did not ad
mit the inutility of such a course, as it
would at once lead to the entire suspen
sion of a great part, if not tho greater
part, of the traffic of the Canadian trans
continental line.
It is sad at the Stato Department that
the officials there did not know that Sir
John Thompson of Canada is on his way to
Washington to secure a pledge from the
President that he will not issue his pro
clamation until the opportunity has been
given the , Canadian Government to hear
from England and docido on a lino of im
mediate action.
While President Harrison does not usu
ally act precipitately in public matters,
it is probable that whatever delay there
may be In Issuing a proclamation will be
due to a consideration of interests on this
side of the border.
