Washington, March 13.~Several days ugo representative Alesander brought to the attention of the rivers and harbors' committee the report of the deep watérways commission, which provides for a dam at the head waters of the Niagara river. Coupled with the report he presénted statistics to show that during the last four years there has been a gradual lower my of the lake level, which led tv the appointment of a sub-committee con sisting of chairman Burton and repre sentative Alexander to draw up a proposition for the construction of a dam. They completed their report, Satur day, ana it will m a part of the river and arbor bill that will be reported to the house. The section provides for the formation of an in: ternational commission, composed of three members from the United States and three from Great Britain, to re present Canada, whose duty it will he to report upon the advisability of locating a dami across the Nisgara river at the outlet of lake Erie, with a view of determining whether such a dam will benefit navigation, and if deemed advisable the commissioners shall make such recommendations to their governments looking towards an agreement or treaty which shall ywo- vige for the construction of the dam. ized to muke an estimate of the cost, in case Great Britain secents. The president in authorized to ap- point a United States engineer and a civil engineer well versed in the hy- draulics of the great lakes; also a lawyer experienced in international and riparian law, and to fix the com: pensation of the commissioners, The salaries and expenses are authorized to be paid from the St. Mary's river fund, provided for in the river and harbors' account of September 19th, « 00, S Speaking of the proposed project, representative Alexander said that the building of such a dam would compel the construction of a channel = for deep draft vessels around the rapids and shoals at the head of Niagara river, regardless of cost. 'Mr. Alexander al- so expressed the opinion that the dam would raise the water from two to three feet above the low water level of the lakes. The section leaves it to the commission to fix the loeation of the dam. ---- 'A Very Severe Test.

When hall gn hour out the «kill was upset, a terrific gale being blowing. Three men were drowned, but George Callaghan and a companion managed to swim ashore untold hardships. Writing to his friends, Mr. Callagh an states that he is unable yet to be around; he has not the use of his hands nor feet, they being benumb ed from the severe treatment accord: ed them by cold water and wind: only in one finger and thumb is there any sensation of life. He expects that some (months will elapse ere he will be feeling himself again. As to the ae cident rel Callaghan writes : "We were fourteen hours in that ex- tremely cold water, submerged to our armpits and the waves rolling over ug every now and again.

Berdin, March 13.--At Darmstadt to- day the grand duke Ernst Louis re ceived many congratulations on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of his accession to the throne of Hesse While the grand duke is blamed al most entirely for his matrimonial troubles, he enjoys, nevertheless a wide measure of popularity among his subjects, Among the royal families of Germany, England, Denmark and Rus sia, with all of whom the grand duke and duchess of Hesse are intimately connected by ties of blood, their do mestic infelicity has been much de plored. Their efforts toward recon- ciliation, however, were futile and it is admitted generally that a definite separsition has taken place. The grand duchess, who js a daughter of the late duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and granddaughter of queen Victoria, is now in the south of France and has announced her intention to divide her time in future bétween the Riviera and Coburg. Under the agreement of their separation the two children, one son and one daughter, are to he allowed to spend a certain portion of each year with the grand duke. In accord ance with this agreement the children are now at Darmstadt where "they have been lobked after by their aunt, princess Irene, who chore to spend her time with them during the absence of her husband, prince Henry of Prussia, in the United States.

German Syrup is the special prescrip: tion of Dr." A. Boschee, a celebrated German physician, and is acknowledg ed to be one of the most fortunate dis- coveries in medicine. It quickly cures coughs, colds and all lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, as it does, the cause of the affection and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. It is not an ex perimental medicine, but has stood the t.8t of years, giving satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increas- ing sale every season confirms. Two million bottles sold annually, Bos chée's German Syrup was introduosd in the United States in 1868. and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world. Three doses will relieve any ordinary cough. Price 5c. For sale at Wade's drug store Will Fight For Fur Trade. Montreal, March 13.--~The Hudson Bay company, whose sway over thou sands upon thousands of miles of prairie and forest in the Canadian northwest for years has been undis puted, will meet with competition shortly, which promises to remind it of the days when the Great West com- pany fought it tooth and nail for su premacy in the fur trade. According to an apparently well-founded report a rival company, backed by English and Canadian capital, is arranging to send vessels down Hudson and James' bays, and establish many trading posts along the east plain and on the west coast, which is the stronghold of the Hudson Bay com any, Such a move would undoubted y precipitate a life-and-death fight hetween the rival interests. ------------ A One-Sided Battle.
