NICARAGUAN CANAL.
A Favorable Report on the I'ropoftetl Rontt
to be Mailt- l y the United Htntes Commit.
•Ion -Thf Work ('mi be Completed In
Hrrfii Yearn, but Will Cost Store than the
tatlmute* The Former Management Se-
verely Crlt trifled.
Cincinnati, July 18.—A special to
the Post from Greytown, Nicaragua,
says that a favorable report on the
Nicaraguan canal will be made by the
United States commission which has
been In the country for some weeks
and has carefully examined the pro-
posed canal route and the terminal
iiarbors on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts.
The commissioners are now at work
upon their report, which will be of an
exhaustive character. They will state
their unanimous conclusion that the
Colorado liar, which has caused so
much trouble at the entrance to Grey-
town harbor, can be partially removed
by dredging, and that a permanent
opening through it can be maintained
by building and maintaining a sea
wall of piling to the southward of the
harbor, so as to break the ocean cur-
rent which washes up the sand on the
bar.
The commissioners think that the
work* of constructing the canal can
be completed within a term of six or
seven'years, but that the total cost
will exceed the limit set by the pro-
jectors, and that 8110,000,000 will not
be an excessive figure.
The commission will ventilate Its
opinion of the former management of
theicanal enterprise,and will present a
number of severe criticisms in this con-
nection.
The commission consists of Col. Win.
Ludlow, of the army; Civil Engineer
M. T. Endicott, of the navy; Alfred
Noble, of Chicago, civilian. All are
appointed by the president. All
are on the cruiser Montgomery and are
due at Key West, Fla., to-day.

THE OHIO RIVER.
General Plan for Improving It« Navigation
— Difficulties In the Way.
Washington, July 13.—The general
plan for improving the navigation of
the Ohio river is treated in the an-
nual report of Col. Amos Stickney,
corps of engineers, United States
army, with reference to the work ac-
complished during the year ended
June 30, 1895. The plan has for its ob-
ject to secure additional depth at is-
lands and bars by the construction of
low dams across chutes and by the
building of dikes where the river is
wide nnd shallow so as to confine the
flow to a smaller cross section and
by dredging.
A radical improvement of the upper
part of the river has been commenced
by the construction of a lock and
movable dam at Davis island, five
miles below Pittsburgh and work on
another lock and dam No. 0, has been
commenced just below Beaver.
Surveys have also been made for
sites for movable dams Nos. 2, 3, 4
and 5 of the series. A snag boat and
two dredges belonging to the United
States arc constantly employed when
funds arc available and the stage of
the river permits, in taking out snags
and wrecks and in dredging away
gravel and rook obstructions that can-
not otherwise be removed.
The work of improvement lias been
continued nil along the river to Mound
City, 111., 959 miles below Pittsburgh,
where dikes nre being erected.
Speaking generally of the project Col.
Stickney says that it is impossible to
determine in advance just where and
how much work will be needed for
making good navigation upon the en-
tire upper length of the river, and
therefore it Is impossible to submit
estimates for complete improvement
The work, he says, must l e pro-

Bishop Potter of New York Hack* Pre-
eept by Example He Will Forego lilt
Usual Vacation and Devote the Time to
Active Work at the Stanton Street Mis-
sion, Making It Ills Abode for the Next
four Weeks.
New York, July 14. -Forsaking the
•omforts of his residence in Washing-
ion square north, the spacious accom-
modation of the Episcopal mansion in
Lafayette place, where his study is as
big a hall, and foregoing his usual
European tour or a season at New-
port, Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter, bishop
of New York, is about to take up his
nl>ode for the four succeeding weeks
af the summer amid the slums and tene-
ments of the old Tenth ward.
The Cathedral mission, No. 130 Stan-
ton street, formerly known as the Old
Epiphany house, will be the home of
he distinguished head of the diocese
Df New York for the coming month.
There he will live, sleep and eat and
perform the duties which devolve upon
the minister in charge of the mission
while the latter is absent on his vaca-
tion.
In his address before the diocesan
;onvention lastSeptemWr, Bishop Pot-
ter told his clergy about the work that
is being done in Stanton street for the
down-town east side, and suggested to
them that thev arrange, each one of
them, to spend a week or more every
year, so that they might become con-
versant with tiie workings of this most
important factor in bettering the con-
dition of unfortunate humanity.
Without any flourish of trumpets,
and unknown to all excepting a few of
the most intimate associates, Bishop
Potter has quietly so arranged affairs
that he may pass four weeks in active
work in the Stanton street mission,
and thus set an example to his sub-
ordinates throughout the city.
The square mile in the center of
which the mission stands contains
over 350,000 persons, and is said to be
the most densely populated square
mile in the world. One block, the one
directly opposite the mission, ia
crowded at the rate of a mill ion to tho
square mile.
ON HER TRIAL TRIP.
The Yacht Arctic Capsize* and Goes to the
Itottom Two Miles from Mouth Haven,
Mich., Carrying Her Owner and Itullders,
All of Whom were Heads of Families, to
the Bottom.
South Haven, Mich., July 14.—A
yacht disaster occurred to-day two
miles out of this port, but full particu-
lars have not been received yet. It is
known, however that three lives were
lost, the owner of the craft and the
members of the firm who built it meet-
ing their death in the loss of the boat.
The Arctic, the name of the ill-fated
yacht, was built here by Messrs.
Coates A Stilson. The owner, who
did not live to enjoy his possession,
was M. S. Tisworth. Last Tuesday
the yacht was launched from the yards
of the firm in this city. To-day it
was decided to take the boat to Sag-
atuck for a trial sail, and the party
consisted of the owner and builders.
There was only a slight breeze blow-
ing on the lake and nn easy and en-
joyable trip was expected. All went
well until the boat was about two
miles out from here. Observers from
shore report that they saw the yacht

Saved.
Grand Rapids, Mich., July 13.—It
developed yesterday morning that
Mrs. John Lewis, living in the southern
part of this city, made a sensational
attempt at suicide and murder Thurs-
day. She took a large dose of strych-
nine and then gave a dose of the
deadly drug to her 5-year-old daughter,
Bessie. Not satisfied with this she
then tried to strangle the little girl
with a towel.
The suffering of the little one
aroused the pity of the crazed mother
who sent for a physician. The woman
told him the whole story, and the
mother and child were saved by hard
work. It is understood that Mrs.
Lewis, who is V8 years of age, waa
jealous of two young ladies who are
residents of the same house. She baa
also been considered slightly off on
the subject of spiritualism.
