A SIIir-OANAL A SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION OP TUB ANN Annou , Mich , , August 28. The fol lowing Is an abstract of an address by Cap tain Oorthcll on "Tho inter-oceanic problem and its scientific ) solution , " at the meeting of the social sclenco convention to-day ; "The accomplishments of science increase Its requirements. Most serious obstacles have been overcome. All except this one that lies in the center of the worl d , a narrow neck of land uniting the two continota and allowing no passage. All interests and free inter change of commerce is seriously hampered by this lnter-cc > ano ! problem. The preatTx- penso of trans shipment excludes tha exten sive use of ordinary railroads. Cereals on the Pacific and other product * , agricultural and manufactured , traverse long and expensive routes to the market. Oar manufacturers who tnrn out over five billion dollars worth annually , exporting only two per cent , cannot participate In the two bill ! ons worth of trade In far Pacific countries , The American iatbmus has been considered far four centuries. It has been examined surveyed , plans mndo out and projected , but nothing resulted. These are the routes : Pana ma , Nicaragua and Tehuantepec. Assuming the practicability of the last , its advantages will bo acknowledged. Its commercial ad vantages are evidenced by the fact that it is nearer tbo axial line of productions passing through Ilorg Knng , San Ifrancieco , New York and Liverpool , and its nautical condi tions are much moro favorable. True scien tific method is that which transfers ships from ocean to ocean most promptly and econom ically. This method is the ship rail way. Its details embrace the lifting dock , with a system of hydraulic ramsso arranged as to head up and perfectly distribute the weight of vessels and n regulated system of carriage' supports to ba ffTacal under the vessels' hulls The roadbed to bo built of materials to bo found along the whole length of the railway ; the superstructure to be Ion ? steel HOB. on which will bo laid ho.ivy steel rails , weighing about 100 pounds per lincnl yard ; powerful locomotives , weighing 1C2 net tons , with n capacity of 3 , COO gross tons on the level , will haul ships across too Isthrr.ue. Three of these will hiul a maximum load of 5,050 tons at fif teen miles an hour on grades up to twenty feet to the mile. Abrupt changes in the di rection of the road , made neceesary by follow ing the valleys , aio ancomplishea by means of floating turntables. Harbors am commodious and excellent at both ends of tbo road. A largo number of export ! who examinad tbo piano , testify to Its practicability and economy. The line hai passed for proving the feasibility of. the matbod. Its superior economy in construction and operation is the next subject to bo considered. Ordinary canals and railroads have beentried , tha latter being superior in economy and dispatch In the ship canals and chip railways the differ ence in favor of the latter is greater. Bis torical examination of the actual cost of mov ing freight by canal and railroad shows that the latter is far in advance of tha former , la economy and in the question of time there la itlll a greater dlDorecco. Cirrjing out tendencies are evident in the cost of railroad transportation , and instead of the averaga load of fifteen tons or thirty for the maximum , moving on two railu , put on eighteen hundred tans , moving on six rails , and with greatly concentrated motive powers , freight will be haulnd for two-tenths of a mill per ton. The differenci ) in. speed would bo ouo to two mlles on a ship canal to ten miles on a ship railway. The expense of transportation by canal is five times that of a railroad. Its strategic advantages are im portant and obvious. At least 7,000,003 tans of freight ore in sight fur transportation over the railway in 1889. The railway can ba built and equipped In four years time ; SJO.- 000,000 in cash will complete every thing ready for busiiiPts , The estimate in stock and bonds , allowing for all poatibla contingencies , is $75,00 J.OOD.

Wilsan Nor- rts , late pension ogent nt Philadelphia , is causing the accounting officers of that depart ment no htllo trouble because of his failure to forward his accounts for the month of June lost. Norris was removed July 7 , and accord- to the treasurer's report , had up to Juno 1 failed to account for advances amounting to 3170,117. Judge Williams , third auditor of the treasury , has several times requested him to forward his accounts for examination , but so far Nortis has not taken the slightest notice of his letter. In making his lost for mal request , the third auditor called Norris' attention to sajtion 3.G22 and B,49t of tbn revised statutes , which rn- qnire that all officers who hold public funds for disbursement shall render n monthly account within ton dayu after the expiration of each successive month , and provide that oQiceru who fall to comply with this require ment ulm'l be deemed guilty of embezzlement and subject to fine and Imprisonment. Tnis letter , it is said , produced no batter effect than its predecessors , and the department officials are in tomewhat of a quandary OB how to proceed. Them are no charges of official integrity against Mr. iNorris. GO NO TO THEIR IIXOIMENT3 , But three nrmyjofficers'affected by Sosrotary Kudlcott'ij order , eonaicg men on long de tached duty back to their regiments , have complied with the ocretnry' instructions. These aio Captain William W. Whony of General Schofield'a stag , wno has been on de tached service eighteen years and three months ; Lieutenant C. 13. Schofield , of Gen- eralSchofhld'a staff , on detachedduty _ eix years and nine mouths , and Captain J. 8. Wharton , of Geneial Hnncock'a stall , on do- tachoJ duty seventeen years. Several of the officers who bavo not complied with the order have telegraphed hero asking that exceptions be mnde In their cases , but their frlonds in Washington have replied that no exceptions on be made. It is reported that some of the officers who have ben on long detached ser vice , will resign free , the army before they will join their rojiments. THEY WILL MAKE A DEFSNSE. The judge of tbo court of Alabama claims will probably prepare a defense and make a fight for the retention and payment of their employes. It is said at the court that the authority given to organize Included the au thority to employ all clerical assistance , and that the force is barely sufficient to perform the work required of thorn and at one time extra assistance bed to bo employed , and this force worked day and night They assert that Judge Lawrence , the former first comp troller , approved of the establishment and management of the couvt , and that ho was ap plied to for an opinion as to the authority of the court to employ more clerks , and be re plied that the court had the authority In itself. rOSTAL OABDS IN DEM IND.
