THE HICARAC1UAY CANAL.
December 11. The

No T York , from the committee on
foreign afl'kiifl , respecting the Kioatu ,
gu.iy cnnal , recited at length bin roa
eons for non-concurrence in tbo bill
agreed upon by the majority ot tbe
committee. The document is devoted
to a review of tno whole question re
lating to the proposed canal , nud
closes ni follows : "Tho proposed
canal ia to bo bcilt tntiru-
ly within the jurisdiction of Ni-
caraguiy , just aa vho Panama canal
is .to bo built entirely within the juris
diction of the United S tit en of Col
umbia. Spunith Bposking republics
and governments to the rontb are nn
deeply intoioLted in huau canul ncroaa
the Ijthinus and their wishea in re-
rpact to politicil control are entitled
to kind and even gcncroui considera
tion by the government of the United
States , It certainly beeomea the gov
ernment of the United State ? , as the
most powerful in its present atrength
to treat its neighbors to the south of
It in conformity with a standard of
juBtico so absolute nnd perfect as to
defy rensoni.blo criticism. "
IN THE BTAR IIOUTE TKIAL ,
" Morrlok contended that Slophc W.
Doroey chould bo compelled to appear
personally in court for trial. The
motion was opposed by Ingarnoll on
the ground that attendance in court
would bo at the risk of perpetual
blindness , but maintained that bin
presencn was unnecessary during the
trial. The judge scstaincd bis pre
vious peaHen that the defense might
just as well bo maintained in the ab
\ sence of tuo defendant as in the pres
ence , except us. to the point of hie
offoriug to teutify. The affection of
Doraey's eyes did not ptoveut hie
being phymcally and mentally compe
tent to testify. The author of "Para-
dlso Lost" had written that grand
work without n glimpao of eight and
ono of England's generals was a blind
man.
Ingersoll moved for a continuance
of the case BO far an Dsrauy was con
cerned. Overruled. Judge Wylic
. then directed that the jury ba called ,
and twelve jurora having answered tc
their names , ho rendered his decision
on the question of peremptory chal
lenges , holding that the defendant ;
in tins case were entitled to four par-
eraptory challenges f6r all of them ,
and cited authority for the dccioion ,
Thodifimso oxcoptcd to the ruling.

mill at South Chicago , a very largo
concern , eluvt down to-dny. It ia un-
doratooil to bu partially owing to the
quiut state of the rail market , partly
lo doubt about ( ho tutitF action cf. '
congrcao , and ptrtially because no
definite Bohodnlu of wogea for next-
year has been fixed. Tlio furnaces am
atill in operation. The abutting down
of the mill owned by this company in
west Chicago was announced ooinu

PHILADELPHIA , Doaauiber 11. The
directory of the Philadelphia & Ilaad-
iug railway approved the traflio
agreement with the coal and iron
company , and the Pittnburg , Me-
Kcoaport & Youghloghony , Pittsburg
& Erie , lake Shore & Michigan
Southern and South Pennsylvania
railroad companies. A mortgage of
$20,000,000 is to bo created to build
the South Pennsylvania , each company
named agreeing to not apart 20 per
cent of the groaa earnings accruing
from the now business to moot the
interest on the mortgage.
Chicago and Now York.
The two cities above named are the
uroat-commercial content of the United
States , the former containing in the
vicinity of 050,000 , and the latter
about 1,500,000. , The number ot people -
plo actually in Chicago at any onetime
time would doubtless range far above
those figure ? , as Its floating or Iran-
ulont population is enormous , running
up into iigurcn that can hardly bo
credited. Tlio trnflio passing between
these two cities doily ia very largo
when ono considers ihat they are
within a fraction of 1,000 miles apart.
Boston also has n largo traflio with
Chicago , and to give an idea of the
accommodation ? ncoaaoary to provide
for the passenger bueincaa alone between -
twoon the throe cities , wo may etato
that the Michigan Central railroad ,
which is the principal thoroughfare
between the cities named , runs five
express trains daily thrco on Sun
days , made up of fine now day coaohoa ,
smoking cars , drawing-room cars ,
palatial Bleeping care , and last
nnd beat the famous dining
cars. These dining cr.ro have done
moro toward making the journey
from Chicago to Now York , and Bos.
ton comfortable and oujoyublo than
any other modern invention , as they
do away with the old custom of get
ting ont at waycido stations and do-
vouriui ] poorly cooked victuals , with
the momentary expectation of seeing
your train pull out and Itmvo you , ' as
an accompaniment. In the Michigan
Central cars you have plenty of time
to enjoy your meals , and those who
have already dined in the cars hold
that it is ono of the plcaoiuitcst exper
iences in the world to calmly roliih a
good meal as yon fly over the smooth
atoel rails , with the whole outside
world la panoramic motion before
you. Other great features of the
Michlpan Central railroad uro that its
through trains for Now York and Bog-
ton run out of Chicago along the
Michigan Lake front within a stone's
throw of the city's costliest mansions ,
through South Park nnd the magic
city of Pullman , affording an exten
sive survey of this marvel of a mar
velous ape , mid later pauiing in full
view of Niagara Falls. It is for the
latter reason known to ull travelers
aa "The Niagara Falls Route. "
