Canadian Sensation
New York, Feb. 23. The news
of the passage of the Nicaragua, bill
was received with ranch satisfac
tion at the office of the Nicaragua
Uoinpanv,
which has taken the contract ol
constrncting the canal for the
Maritime Canal Company of Nicar
agua. A. representative of the
former company said: "We will
begin work aa soon as we can close
the contract we have now and
make other arrangements neces
sary. There will be no diplomatic
difficulties, as treaties have been
concluded between the United
States and Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, allowing the construction mi
the canal. The total distance from
ocean to ocean at Nicaragua is 166
miles, of which fifty-six and a half
is by lake, eighty-one and a half
by river and basin navigation,
leaving only twenty-eight miles of
actual canal. The estimated total
cost of the work by the suiveying
expedition of 1885 was $50,000,000,
and $15,000,000 for contingencies,
making $65,000,000. It is said
that the whole work can be com
pleted so that the canal will be
open for navigation by 1895."

London, Fab. 23. Extracts from
the report of the committee on the
naval maneuvers in 1888 say that
the main lesson is that Great
Britain is far from being as strung
as she should be on the high seas.
While they believe the navy strong
enough to engage any maritime
power, thev are of the opinion that
no time should be lost in placing it
beyond comparison of the combined
naval forces of any two countries.

Buffalo (N. Y.) special says: This
city ia co full of the Christian-science
craze that the clergy are beginning to
preach against it. It has obtained a
strong hold in the western part of the
city and is making inroads on the
churches. What ia worse several
convert have died within a few days
under the care of these praying doc
tors. As they claim to t ae no medi
cine, it is hard to get hold on them as
practitioners without a license, bat
since fatalities have come to light the
District Attorney has begun to look
op the question.

was sent after being treated for
pneumonia by a Christian scientist
named Hardy. Blood-poisoning had
set in and she conld not be saved.
The District Attorney promises to
bring hardy to justice, and said to
diy that he shonld at once take steps
to present his cat e to the Grand jury.
The feeling against the Christian
scientist J is becoming strong, yet
they are so well iutreuched in their
practices that it will not be easy te
dislodge them.
THE WAR SHIT MN)XAHELA.
She Leaves Hare Inland En Rente
Car same Amid nalntai ferns
San Frakcisco, Feb. 22. The
United States war ship Monongnhela
which left port yesterday, is under
orders from the secretary of war to
sail without delay for Samoa, and
there to report to Admiral Kimberly,
of the man-of-war Trenton, who is io
command of the fleet.
The Monongahela was formerly a
steamer, bat has been changed into a
sailing vessel, and the place where
the engines were has been decked
over and berths, etc, built. It ha? a
bark rig; a gleam boiler aud a con
denser have be:n !a;ed on the ship,
and as Commander Wiugate says,
the vessel is in first-class order.
The Monongahela,aHhouh intend
ed aa a supply ship, is fitted with 1
two eight-inch puns, one tweuty-
ound howitzer aud plenty of small
arms. Her caro, in addition to the
usus 1 supplies, consists of ordnance
aud ammunition valued at $100,003.
The Mouohgahela was given quite
a farewell ac Mare Island, the mili
tary band from the Thetis going
down to the wharf and playing
national airs, aid a I ot the vessels in
the bay saluting the departing war
ship.
The Monongahela .carries a comple

After all that has been sid and
wr tten about Captain Kid Ts pv'd,
who knows but that it will yet be
found on Grand island. It certainly
looks as though that wt icaliy liie
land of the buried treasure. At var
ious times oldtFiench coins have 1 n.n
found on the island, but the greatest
discovery yet is that made by Wil
liam Webb last Sunday. When
there is a strong eastern wind the
water is lowered considerably on the
lAnieiicau shore of the island, so
tnucn mat it is irequentiy possible to
walk on the beach at least thirty feet
from the ordinary water line. It is
here on the beach that the oli relics
have usually beeu fouud.
Recently Farmer Webb was walk
ing along the beach when he sudden
ly came upon several dozen old cop
per coins. They were partially
buried in the sand in such a shape as
to show conclusively that tney had
been buried there. Many are so old
and well worn that it is impossible to
make out their date or design, tme
of them is a medal bearing on one
side of the inscription: "Success to
the Commerce of Upper and Lower
Canada" and on the other Bide the
words, "Sir Isaac Brock Bart, the
hro of Upper and Lower Canada,
who fell at thy battle if Queens twn
Heights Oct., 13. 1812." Some of
them are American coins and have
only the twelve stars.
A society is soon to be formed
among the Grand island people for
the purpose of collecting and pre
serving the many valuable relics of
the island. The society will make an
effort to raise the two French men-of-
n-ar that were sunk just off the shore
l i the French and India war,
C
clear days the hulls of the old vessels
are easily seen.
