September ti. new scheme of transportation Is to be Introduced be tween New York nnd lloston, n hereby, it Is slid, large packages and cars con taining passengers can be whisked from one place, to the other, '230 mile3. In less than an hour. An experiment with the machine was held In Doston In the pres ence of many scientists. Including A. E. Dolhcar, of Tufts' college. He announced that he was thoroughly satisfied with the system. It consists of magnet cur hanging from a single rail, which follows a current of electricity with one horse power. It is said that one ton can thus be transported 1440 miles a lay ut a cost os cents The application of electricity to ma chinery, as mentioned above, Is not all the uses to which It can be applied. It cures moslt obstinate chronic diseases with wonderful and startling rapidity. Dr. Piirnl, th.' olenro-magnetle physi cian of Astoria employs the remedy with wonderful success, as Is proven by the ti stlmoulals that we have heretofore published of the remarkable cures that he has made In this vicinity. Dr. Darrln came to Astoria to remain but a limited time, but since opening his ofTleo In this city hla practice has poured lu on him so rapidly that he has con cluded to extend his visit to October 1. Patients come to visit him from a wide urea of territory. The otTier day a young man rode on horseback 10 mlle.i to be maud for deafness. In ten mlniues from the time the doctor commenced operations he could hear, and the next il.iv he left for home.

September Comte Henri de Penaio. who raas been visiting friends In St. Louis for a few days, said that the rumor tf an understanding between Spain and other Earopisn countries look ing to a che?k upon American Interfer- noe with Cuba, was confirmed by infor- mat Ion which came to him from high authority. De Penaio has been Intro luwd In St. Louis as u member of r.n old Spanish family whose sympathies are with the Carllst party, nut whose connec-! tlons with high politics tn Spain keeps' him posted on most of the Important dip- j lomatlc movements.

I NOT GENERALLY RELIEVED Bit If Trie. It V ill Ircvest I sited States' Coitrol Of The Nicaragua Troject. New York, September . A World dla pauh fr?m Washington says: The i" d's special cable adlvce fretn Colon to the effect that the franchise heretofore held by a French company for the construction of a ship canal acroa the Utbmus of Panama, has been trans ferred Ho the government of Great Brit ain, has crented a sensation here. Offic ial and those closely Interested tn the Nicaragua canal project frankly admit that if this transference has really been made It will effectually prevent the United States from controlling the proposed In teroceanlc canal and render the building of the Panama canal aseie. At Uw same time It Is not generally believed here that the concession held by the French company has been transferred to the government of Great Britain. It Is considered possible that an English com pany has purchased the rights of the French company and may continue the work now In progress, but that the Brit ish government has assumed control of the project is not credited. The concession originally granted by the United States of Colombia for the con struction of the Isthmian canal to connect the Atlantic and Paolilj oceans to De Isseps an! his syndicate of Frgnch cap italists subsequently passed Into the hands of another French company. Notwithstanding il the scandals and difficulties connected with the work, much headway has already been made. A force of two or three thousand men has beea steadily employed, but the uncertainty of a final success has proved a perpetual source of discouragement and the con cession of the Fr-nch company ha for some time been offered for sale. The United States and other governments have bad an opportunity of purchasing It and continuing the work. Experts here exp-ess themselves aa convinced that the Isthmian canal as pro jected by the French is Impracticable. The proposal to construct It by a system of locks Is pronounced unsatisfactory If not Impossible. It might be possible to secure a sufficient supply of water at the summit to operate the locks at cerraln seasons of the year, while during others the supply would b9 Inadequate, the canal thereby being rendered useless at Inter vals. This obstacle will not be encount ered in building tho Nicaragua canal, as the great lakes of the Interior will fur nish an abundant supply of water at all seasons of the year. Civil engineers and those familiar with canal construction are not of the opinion thnt a company of English capitalists will meet with better success than their French predecessors. The only source of worriment lies in the possibility that the concession has passed under the control of the British gov?rnment. In which case unlimited capital and engineering science might end the existing difficulties. This would prevent oy further efforts towards building the Nlcar.igtia.-i canal. A PARTISAN" INQUIRY.
