been offered and refused the governorship
ot Pornntnbuco Mariano Is a man of great
Influence und his province will evidently fol

A Gront UndrrtnKltiR
WiiF.ET.t.so , W. Va , Doc 20. In view of
its great linportnnca ns growing out of tbo
fooling that Inspired the Pan-American con
gress nnd its gigantic proportions ns n rail
way enterprise , the recently incorporated
Columbia railway nnd navigation company
nt Hlchmond , Va , , Is liltoly to provo a sensa
tion In commercial circles The following
explanation , which Is gained from parties
directly interested , will appear in tomor
rows ' Wheeling Intelligencer !
l'ho proposed compnny is to construct rail
roads in South America , steamship lines
connecting these railroads with points In the
United States und incidentully everything
necessary to properly carry on such busi
ness Tbo company's capital is to bo $100 >
000,000 , and Captain Parsons of Vlrginiu is
nt the head ot it Urielly the terms
of the Columbia railway and navigation com
pany are as follows : To construct n line
of railroad from some point near the mouth
of the Mngdaletin river In the United States
of Colombia southwardly along the eastern
flauk of the Andes nnd the hoadwatcrs of
the Amazon to points in Peru , there to con
nect with tbo Peruvian nnd Argentinian sys
tem oT railroads From the mouth of the
Magdalena river steamships will bo
run to tbo southern point of Florida
nnd Now Orleans , from whence will
extend railroad connections to nil parts of
the country The vastness of the enterprise
contemplated is thus apparent A continent ,
probably the richest in matorlal resources of
all tbo continents in the world , is to bo
opened up to the purposes of commerce , im
migration und civilization Its products nnd
pcoplo nro to bo brought into easy communi
cation with tbo rest of tbo world , and best of
all , the direct and lnsting benefits of these
purposes accrues to the United Stutes
Captain II C. Parsons , whoso homo is now
at Natural DridffC , Vn , is the originator and
controlling spirit of the enterprise It is by
no means the first difficult and hazardous un
dertaking In the railroad line that ho has
been encaged In , though the ethers were
as nothing when compared with
this For fifteen years Captain Par
sons bns given the subject of a north
and Boutb line of rnilrond in South America
bis attention Ho has traveled and investi
gated , examined the surveys of the country
and collected information of all kinds until
ho bus demonstrated the feasibility of his
great project , and has at last brought It to a
point of realization In order to obtain a
more thorough organization and bo-
sure heartier cooperation , incorporators
have bcon selected otd ; nro shortly
to bo named in nil the southern states
When this has boon done and tbo organiza
tion completed by tlio election of oDlcors ,
etc , subscription books will bo opened and
the practical work of making surveys und
estimates , inaugurated at once The only
part of the proposed route which is unknown
and unexplored is between the sources of
the Magdalena and Napa rivers ever the
dividing rldgo of the Cordillcrao , in Ecua
dor , lloro a mountain chain must bo
crossed inordertopassfiom the valley of ono
river to that of nr.otbcr.nnd In addition to the
natural obstacles iboro are lierco savage
tribes who have hitherto resisted all at
tempts to explore their country
Tno northern terminus , as now proposed ,
will bo Port Carthugena , on tbo Carrablan
sea The southern terminus will hn PimM
and Corropasco , In Peru , the dls-
anco between tbcm being about two
thousand miles , half of which
is along streams navigable by flat bottom
steamers Tbo road will traverse the Pampas
del Sacramento , perhaps the richest agricult
ural region in the world , will skirt the larg
est gold und silver mines and penetrate
forests of untold vnluo At tbo southern
termini a junction will bo affected with two
Peruvian lines of railway and a railroad
from Uucnos Ayrcs on tlio At
lantic , which road is already in
operation for 400 miles to Alta , on the head
waters of tbo La Plata river Thus differ
ent outlets to tbo ocean will bo secured for
products at present inaccessible At Cusco
and Corropasco is found the heart of tbo
gold nnd silver mining region , which is
popularly reputed to bo enormously wealthy
in minerals , and where it wns clnimed by'
some old church wrltors was really tbo ophir
of King Solomon
The development of Peru in tbo past has
bcon exceedingly slow and at crcat cost Its
1,300 miles ot railroad have cost the state al
most $150,000 , par milo , the most costly in the
world Notwithstanding this thoconstructod
portions of tbeso lines have al
ready boon lnrgoly paid for by tbo royalty on
guana beds What would bo tbo lcsultof
tbo rapid and complete development of such
resources as it contnlns can bo better im
agined than described Almost as much
may bo said for ovcry one ot the states
through which the proposed 2 route is to pass
In conversation with an Associated Press
correspondent , Captain Parsons dwelt at
length upon the clement of uncertainty
which must ontcr lute tbo problem on
account of the unknown region in the cross
ing of the Cordllloras , Whether man
can do what bos never yet
bcon done is a question which
the company's cngineors will have to solve
in the near future "It must bo clear , said
Captain Parsons , "to a casual student that
this or soma similar ono is the only practi
cable channel by which our wuros cau bo
carried iu competition with these of Europe
to the heart of South America It affords
the only possible means of competing
in tlmo with the transAtlantic
steamers and tbo La Plata system of boats
Uy this moans the traveler will bo able to
make tbo distance from Lima , tbo capital of
Peru , to Now York In nlno dayB At Lima
bo will bo but thirty hours by steamer from
Valparaiso ; at Now York ho is but seven
days from Liverpool ; from Chili to Encland [
is seventeen dnys If It bo true that
the United Stntes , with Its Pun-Amnrican i
congress reciprocity troatics is Booking Its
chief market in South America , It would ap >
pear she cau best find it , not at Itio i
Janioro , not at liuenos Ayrcs , upon the i
coast fronting England , nor upon the nur-
rowpnid plains of the upper Paclflo coast ,
but by piercing to tbo center of the nut nt i
once and extracting the kernel while for
eign nations are looking for au oponingon 1

Of nil tbo liomiiintioni pending before the
sennto thntof Indian Commissioner Morgan
is likely to bo delayed the greatest length of
time and to tlnd tbo most trouble in reaching
a confirmation This is duo first to the fact
that Mr Morgan was not recommended by
anybody In particular , but his appointment
wns duo to the presidents personal favor ;
second , becnuso the senators from his state
( Ithodo Island ) do not like him and dent '
enro n cout wbothor bo is coullrmcd or not ;
third , because ho has a bad military record
aud is not endorsed by the Grand Army of
the Republic or any other soldier organiza
tion , in fact , his career in the army lias been
tbo subject ot investigation by Secretary
Noble silica bis appointment , mid it was only
by the exercise of mercy that Morgnn ob
tained a clean bill of health ; fourth , because
Morgan has offended tha civil service reformers - .
formers by appointing his wlfo to ofllco under
blm nnd permitted others of his employes to
follow his example by putting their wives on
tbo pay roll ; fifth , because bo bus offended
politicians in not recognizing political soivlco
in making appointments , but has dovolopcd
a very aggravated rnso of what is known as
big head , " uud tbinlts ho Is cnpablo of run
ning his bureau nnd selecting his subordi
nates without advice or suggestion from
nnybody , nnd , finally , because bo has offend
ed the Catholic church by removing some of
tholr most trusted and influential agents
from positions uud substituting Protestants
for thorn His policy with regard to the In-
dinn schools is wakening the antagonism of
tbo Uotnnn Catholic church and Hishop Ire
land iu particular , who not only has the
respect , but the entire confidoiico of every
man in tbo United Slates senate Protestant
as well as Catholic It Is ditllcult to see
what reason the Catholics have to aceuso
the commissioner of discriminating against
them , but it is uovorthclcss u fact that they
nro doing everything possible to prevent his
continuation Out of n total appropriation to
all churches of $000,91)1 ) , under the present
contract Indian school system , the Catho
lic church receives § 33-1,401 , or nearly two
tlnn's of the whole whllo" tbo next largest
sum is paid to the Presbyterian church , und
is only $40,760.
Mexicans nnrnsE to nconivn iiim
Colonel Eugene O. Fecbot who was ap
pointed consul to Podras Ncgras , Mexico ,
last soring , has returned o Washington be
cause the Mexican government declines to
rccognizo him , their objection being based
upon some decision mndu while Fechot was
consul at Paso del Norte during the Arthur
administration Folchot is from Michigan
and is uotoDly endorsed by the senators and
representatives from thnt state , but by a
great many other members of both houses
of congress He has had a very remarkable
career und the incidents of his life would
furnish material for a novel as exciting as
llidor Haggard over wrote Hols of Froncb
extraction , born in Canada , and spent his
boybood in Michigan , from which stnto ho
went into the war when n mcro lad ile
served with gallantry as a cavalry man ,
scout and spy and was for a tlmo attached
to the hendouartora of General
Grant , receiving a colonels commission
forvaluablo services before bo was mus
tered out Then ho wont to Italy and fought
with Gurlbaldl From tbcro ho went to
Kg.vpt , where tie was with the martyr Gor
don In his Soudau expedition and narrowly
escaped massucro several times , The next
two or tbrco years of his life were spent in
mining in South America , where ho partici
pated us a soldier in several revolutions , nnd
finally ho returned to his old homo and was
appointed to the cosululo m Mexico As tbo
Mexicans dccllno to acknowledge blui , of
course his usefulness as n consul iu that re
public is at an end , but it is probable that bo
will bo sent to some other country

THE QUESTION OF BHIIVINO WINK
The question of serving wino for New

the matter by tbo ladles of the cabinet , but
they talked over tbequestlonnttho luncheon
Mrs lilalno gave tbo other day , and all of
them were decidedly in favor of moro hospi
tality nnd loss display No wino will bo
served at the cabinet recoutlon unless it bo
by Mrs Wilmerdlng , tbo daughter ot the
secretary of the navy , who presides over her
fathers ' household Of course there will be
none at the wbito house , for it is not tbo cus

Mrs Harrison would not havn It if it was

tbo diplomatic corps aflor their reception at
the white house , and wino will bo furnished
of course Uut alter tbo breakfast , when
tbo general publlo are received , tea nud cof

Mrs Windom will serve no wino no matter
who calls , She does not bollove In it and is

Mrs Miller says : "I have never served

bigh as eighty at noon und the sun being
strong enough to bring out tbo buds and 1 ;
Iloweis Uut tbe nights have boon very
damp and the atmosphcro bus been bo i
saturated with moisture as to cause not only
discomfort but serious illness among all '
classes The result has been almost an '
epidemic of tolds and "la grlppo" is prevail
log to an alarming extent
Its tbo saino thing wo have every
wiutor , " said Dr , Garrow , who was General I
Sheridan's physician , speaking ot ' 'ls i
grlppo , " but there happens to bo so much
of it that pcoplo hnvo associated the disease
in their linaginntlsns with the same which
we hour Is epidemic hi Lmope , They have
simply revived an old iinmo iorJ influenza to
dcscrlbo wnnt I presume to bo nn negra
vntod typo of that disease Gentle
men who studied mcdlcino twenty or
thirty years ago will remember that 'la

In tholr text books nud thu cases of 'In

more prevalent than common and perhaps n
little moro aggravated because of thu mild

Would you consider tbo dlseasa epi-

"No , it enn hardly bo called epidemic , al

Senator Alanderson , in answer lo the re
quest sent to thu Inulan commissioner for
the opinion of tnnt official on thu proposition
to bridge tbo Niobrara in Holt county , has
received the following communication ,
which will probably result in tbo indulluito
postponement of the bill :
To tbo Honorable Secretary of tbolntorior
Sir : I have the honor to acunowlodgo the
receipt of a letter iiom Senator iMundorsou ,
enclosing ono from Uarrott Scott , Esq , of
O'Neill , NuO , i-oques ing that authority bo
obtained fiom this department for the loca
tion of a county bridge across the Niobrara
river at a point near the * rnngojino between
ranges 10 and 11 west ; ' also by tno depart
ment of reference December 10 , lSb'J , aim an
other letter from Senator Mandorson , en
dorsing the proceedings of a com
mltteo of the board of supervisors of
Holt county of said state particularly
describing the point where it is desired the
bridge shall bo constructed ns follows : At
Whiting's ford , section line between sec
tions 81 and Si , townslilps 33 , rnncc From
the papers presented tbo application uppoars
ptolbo-fOr-PHrmisslon to construct a bridge
across thcNiobrnraTlvor for the public con
venience in anticipation of the opening of the
greut Sioux reservation to settlement under
the Into ugreemont , the bridge to cross from
the Nebraska side to and about upon the
greut Sioux reservation , Senator Mandor
son desires to bo advised as to what , If any
objection , there is is to granting the privilcgo
nsked for , nnd expresses the houo that the
department will taiio favorable action In
view of the importance of tbo matter to tbo
people of northwest Nebraska In reply I
have to state that in the light of a recent de
cision of the department , October 1 , 1SS7 , in
a case aualagous to tbo one now presented ,
wboroln It was hold that in tbo absence of
law or treaty provisions for the appropria
tion or use of any portion of tbe land within
on Indian reservation , tbcro was no author
ity to permit the construction of a mllldam
across Chateau creak in Dakota to connect
with or abut upon the Yankton Indian reser
vation , I am constrained to the opinion that
the present application will have to be de
nied The decision of the department in the
case cited was , as will bo observed , based
upon the opinion of the attorney general in
the matter of the application of a Mr Thomp
son for permission to construct nn irrigating
ditch across the Lemhi Indian reservation in
Idnbo , in which it was held that the depart
ment bad no right to grant tha application
The lauds ot the great Sioux reservation are
still in a state of reservation and will so
remain until the president proclaims the ac
ceptance and consent of the Indians to tbo net
ot March 2 , lSb'J , as provided in said act As
the president will no doubt shortly make
proclamation , I think the matter ought to
rest until such action is taken , when tbo
pcoplo of Nebraska or tbo county authorities
of Holt county will bo at liberty to avail
themselves of whatever tights they may
have in tbe lands to which the Indian title
shall bavo boon extinguished I i ( turn the
papers and enclose a copy ot this report
