Gone a Maying. BY BESSIE BEECH. BARON DE LESSEPS' SCHEME. An Inter-Oceanic Ship-Canal, and What it Will Accomplish.
[From the Chicago News.]
WAsniNOTox, February 19. The
'construction or an inter-oceanic ship
canal through the Isthmus of Pana
ma is daily becoming a subject of
creater interest to tho people of
America and also to thbsc of other
nations: Many'surveys have already
been made and not less, than ten dif
ferent Arp-uJes prpRoicd.jrhrceqf
these at least have been proposed.
Thrge ofctfiese at least ;ha vet been
pronounced practicable, in deciding
upon the practicability ot any route,
the following are among the more
important considerations: The- 'wa
ter suonlv and whence it should bo
drawn ;( the difficulties that may ex
ist from floods; the construction of a
canal with or without locks; the ad
vantages which the various routes
proposed offer in materials for con
struction, and information as to lev
els, which will form a basis for spe
cial instrumental-cxamination.--.iThe i
attention of the snrveying and ex
ploring expeditiou sent out by" this
country to obtain iniormatiou in re
lation to tho proposed canal was par
ticularly 'called, to tho above consid
erations. The three routes that are
looked upon with the greatest favor
are cailed respectively the Nicaragua
route, the Panama route, and the
San Bias route. The former is called
the American route, and, if our coun
try decides to take steps toward the
construction of a canal, will undoubt-
edly 'be the ono adopted. The origi
nal surveys are made by the United
States Government.
THE NICARAGUA ROUTE.
This is the most, northerly of tho
tUree,routes with an eastern terminus
at Grey town, and a western at Brito,
on the Pacific coast Greytown is
distanced from Aspinwall about 225
;i 'i ,'M. r n.! :
liiucs. iuu iciigbu uituia uatuiL is
180 miles. It will, contain seventeen
locks, with a lift of ten feet each. The
highest point is .107 feetr-'above ,the
two oceans. The. costof'tliia'',canal
is variously estimated at from $05,-
000,000 to $100,000,000, including
the construction of the two harbors
at each terminus. Tire length, of
ic required for a, vessel to' pass
through', this canal will Tie four days
and a half.. The width is to be seventy-five
feet, at the bottom, and the
depth twenty' six feet along'the whole
line. The length of the locks will
be 4.00 feet. The route of this canal
is described by General A., A. Hum
phreys, as beginning on the Atlantic
side, at or near Greytown; running
by canal -to the San Juan .River;
thence following its lea bank to the
mouth of the San Carlos River, at
which point thc navigation of the
San Juan 'River begins, and by the
aid of three, short1 canals of the ag
gregate length o three anil one-half
miles, Lake .Nicaragua is reached.
The length of the-lake navigation is
fifty-six miles. The canal then pro
ceeds through tW -valleys, of tlie Rio
del Medio and Rio Graiido to thp
port oi unto on. the .Facitic coast.
irom the point of-entering the lake
on the west side ther.e are ninety1
three miles of .uninterrupted 'naviga
tion, fifty-sLv 4nilesr of lake naviga
tion, and thirty'-seven miles of river
navigation, Thfs route, better than
any other, utilizes the natural ad
vantages .of the country thronjrh
which It'p'asses. But there are many
strong objections presented in oppo-
Snd
the difficultyTjhich larg&yeSscls will
encounter in p'assing thern and the
earthquakes to, which that region, ii
subjected, which will. it is' claimed.
continually put the locks -out of re
pair, and thereby greatly injure fthe
carial. Many prominent engineers
have, denouncedthis pnfts .imprac-1
ticable, predicting that, should it be
carried puit would, after a .year, .of
two; be found necessary to abandoj!
it as, wholly .impracticable.-
THE PANAMA ROUTE.
The' Panama, 'route or as it is
perhaps botter.sknpwn, the De Le3
seps-joute is called the French Ca
nal," hating, beetCadopted 'by'tfa , Par
is Congress in-1878. . It is-forty'nye
miles in length,, aqd.i:jpslimatea' to
cqst 0,000,000.', Thlss Cinques
tionably the firfest ancl wran'dest plan
in1ti 'conception.' It'is to be built
without lock or tunnel. Thtf inten
anil.to.aeuendi iiponlftha.two-oceans
for tlie supply of water by reducing
it to the sea level. It will require for-
tv-emht hours Tor ships to make the
passage. "The depth of water will
be twenty-eight feet, .and the width
of the canal 106 feetC At the rate
of.tliree miles an hour, it is estima
ted that 100 ships may pass out of
the canal each flay. This canal can
ue DUiir, accortiinK to me eaumaies
of tlie projectors, in seven years.
BaronrDejLessieps. offers 'assume
thp entire responsibility of complet
ing it In that jlm'e. ' He is now at
f. anaiuu wiiu a corps ui uiiiuccis,
engaged -in an examination pfthe
different stratifications and the char
acter,, texture and hardness of the
rock, with a view to estimating1 moro
accurately the co3t of tho carial and
the obstacles to be overcome. The
Baron intends coming to the United
States before long' to present to "the
American people the result ot his
observations after a jiersonal survey.
THE SAN BLAS ROUTE.
The'tliirtl route, tlie San Bias, is
the shortest proposed, being thirty-
three miles in length, with a tunnel
seven miles long, through a moun
tain 1,500 feet in height. The esti
mated' cost is $164,000,000, and the
time required in.coqstruction about
eigin years, lii eucu leimiuus, guuu
. i i - . ' i i - .A r 1
natural'harbors are found, which are
easily approached by a wide, open
sea.--, rue tieptu is to ue 2S leet, ano
tho width 125 at the water line, and
80. feet in tho tunnel. Tho roof of
the tunnel will be 118 feet above the
canal bottom. The greater portion
of the material through' which the
tunnel passes will lie rock, making
.walling, to prevent .the, sides trom
caving, unnecessary;
THE ADVANTAGES OF A SHIP CANAL.
The advantages of a ship canal to
the commerce of the world can" not
be overestimated. The distance sav
ed by navigation in general between
the great ports of the world would
be about 9,000, miles, which is worth
$16 per ton for all freights. Six mil
lions of tons will annually pass this
highway, for which $3 per ton will
be charged, thus saying $lo per ton,
or $78,000,000 annually, to the com
merce of the world. Tho1 gross, re
ceipts of the canal,- on this basis,
will be $18,000,000 per annum. The
expenses of all kinds arc calculated
not to exceed $7,000,000, thus leav-
ng $11,000,000 to go to the stock
holders. Congress is looking care
fully into the matter, a committee of
the House being now at work exami
ning witnesses and obtaining addi
tional-information. In the Senate a
resolution, calling for tHe" appoint
ment of a committee, to have in view
a similar object, is now pending.
Columbus Letter.
[Special Corr. of the Journal.]
COLUMBUS, O., Mar. 2d, 1880.
The Kirby Police Bill, which gives
the Mayor of Cincinnati the. control
of the' police; in that city, seems to
ue onooi iiie rnosi. important uius
passed, if one is to take newspaper
talk' as" any judication of importance.
Cincinndti has a Republican Mayor
at present but suppose tho ribxt ono
should be a Pemocrat', then of
course that party can make a might'
political machine by- reason of the
law. But a large number of the
citizens of. the Paris, of America

Senator- Ponds' bill to ,reonjanii5e
the reformatory benevolent institu
tions 'of tho State came up- last
Thursday in the Senate for passage".
It wijl. be remembered that the In
stitutions named shall be under the
supervision and direction of five
trustees, which are to be appointed
by' the Governor by and with advice
from the Senate. It also gives the
Governor the power to, remove any
trustee nt any time or for any cause
he may' see fit. This of course could
riot or did not please; the democratic
members, ancl a long and lively
argument was . made and all sorts of
objections made, some of the mem
bers made motions'Tor 'a postpone
ment of the bill -until1 next July, and
oth'crs had amendments to offer, cto.
lion. . Peter Ilitohcoekj made, 'an
amendment .that no trustee should
be removed on account of political
sentiments, but the Senate voted it
down. Dr., Scott who is the sup
posed daddy of a bill in the House
tor reorganization, and other Repub
licans arc not particularly in love
with the Pond bill, giving as
ano of their main reasons that 'it
gives the Governor too much power.
Besides' the House bill which" gives"
the State Institutions two 'additional
trustees each, is a bill of which Col.
Dempsy of Cleveland is the author,
which provides for a board of four
members two Democrats andwo
Republicans? qltl is .claimed byfthe
author that a board made up this

to' say that there will be a general

this week. '
Thfe Democrats where they had
a majority, at the first session and
the very first-bill began to reorgan

has doubtless induced the Republi
cans to move cautiously in this
matter, and make as few mistakes
as possible, for any se'rious mistakes
would have a telling effect in politics
Mlii fnll .
Tho Local Option petitions still
continue to come in every day. and
t :will soon become time for the
Legislature to pay some attention to
the matter, one way or other.
VOTING BY ELECTRICITY.
One' of the most novel inventions
of. tho present "aire of wonders is
g quietly worked opto be put
Into practical operation in the Legis
lative Halls. The Journal corres
pondent was one of the privileged
few that has been let into the secret.
and as the invention i3 no longer a
matter of doubt a few notes on the
construction and utility of the novel
invention may prove Interesting to
tho Journal readers.
Voting by electricity may at first
seem impracticable but the fertile'
brain of a successful inventor has
solved the problem, and in the near
future the solon occupjung his
seat in the Legislature, can, by
simply pressing on a little ivory
knob located conveniently on his
desk, vote either 'yes,' or 'no,' on
questions called to be voted on.
The plans are not yet perfected, but
tho "rbailer can get-aideaU of the
invention ot the "Voting Machine"
by the following discription. Oh
each member's desk will be placed
two small knobs, not unlike the
stops of an organ. On ono tho
word "yes is printed, on tho other
no." Wires will rnn from each
desk to tho Clerk's desk where an
apparatus similar in appearance to.
a type writer will bo placed. The
names of the members aro printed
on slips and as their names are
called the member simply presses
on the knob "yes" or "no" as the
case may be. If the member presses
on the "yes" knob, his vote will be
recorded on the back of his name
with the word "yes" printed by
electrioity. In this way a per
manent record is made of each
member's vote and Wie lobbyists
who stand around and hear from
the roll call, how each man vote3
will beat a loss just who, to tackle,
aa tuo clerk alone will know how
members vote.
