l'toni the Philadelphia Ledger. The Chicago Drainage Canal is de- slgnid pilm.nlly to lelleve that city of lis s'-wage and enable It to obtain supply of pure water ftom Lake Michigan, which Is now contaminated by the oveiflow from tho city's sew- ets. It Is also intended, however, to i be tho beginning of a ship canal front Chicago to tho Mississippi liver, and to that end the law under which it was built required thnt th- rock sections should be f.o cut ns to admit the pifsagc of vessels, and this te-quliement inct eased the cost of the wotk from about or which would have been suflleicnt to dispose ol the seuuge, to All this has been done by tho city of Chicago, but it will ask the go eminent to continue tho work by deepening the Illinois liver. HIGH ENGINEERING SKILL. The woik of cutting the gteut canal has been of such a nntute as to le-quiii) the evettisc of the highest en-glneetlng skill.

The total length of the canal, fiotn Chicago to tho terminus ut I.ockpnrt, 111., Is twenty-tight miles, th" line extending south-westwaicl fiom Chicago and following down the Dc'plnliics valley the course of an old glat ler, abundant traces of the piogu-ss of which aie tcumd. Tho alley vat Its In width from a half mile to tulle, and through it flow th- Desplalnc-' ilvtr and the malodorous Illinois nnd Michigan pnnnl cialt.st both of which the Drainage. canal has had to be safegunrdtd at various points. The Dohplalnes river Is a stiaggllrg stu-am of greatly olumo. Sometimes lis whola dlsehaige would go thtougli a sl-c-Intl.

plr but at the time of the sprint; Hoods Us olumo Is fully 800,000 cubic feet a minute, and then it sptends over the whole valley. Necessarily this insubonllnatu stieani had to bj disciplined, and the task has been of- ij me i-ouHU UCWUI' Ol in- "lllvtr Diversion thnnnel," Thl.s wotk Involved I lie excavation of thirteen miles of new iher channel, In whlth the Desplalnes In now flowing, the Drainage canal occupying part of thu old bed of the liver, and the building of nineteen miles ot lovce between tho main Drainage channel ard the River Diversion channel. TUB DRAINAGE CHANNEL. The main dialnnge channel has been const! ucted with a view to meeting tho requlteinents of the Chicago of tho future, with a populitlon of 3,000,000, when a flow of COO.OOO cubic feet minute will be necessary; although a flow of 300,000 cubic feet a minute will be ample for the needs of the present population, and will be the vnluinn maintained for some time after tho completion of tho canal. From Lock-port, the southern terminus, to Willow Sptlngs, a distance of fifteen miles, the canal Is In tho main cut through solid rock, Niagara limestone.

Noithward COUCH SYRUP from Willow Springs for a few miles tho cut Is chiefly through "glacial drift," a mixture of earth, gravel and boulders, and from that point on to the Chicago river only earth is encountered. In the "rock sections" the channel Is lt-0 feet wide nt the bottom, with practically perpendicular sides. These sections, with their walls of solid rock built up to the required height of 20 feet, with massive masonry upon tho rock surface, are of full size to accommodate tho maximum How of COO.OOO feet. Five of the eurth sections, from Willow Springs north, ward, ate also of dimensions which will not need alteration, as In them there Is preponderance of hard material. They are 202 feet wide on the bottom and 2(3 feet deep, with side slopes two to one.

The remaining earth sections are 110 feet wide on tho bottom, with some side slopes. They are designed for a How of 300,000 feet, and may easily bo enlarged by dredging whenever the Increase In size of tho city shnll make necessary an Increased volume of drainage. SEVEN YEARS OF LABOR. Work on tho line has been In progress since September, 1892, summer nnd winter, little delay being experlencel In tho latter season, since the frozen earth has been blasted with dynamite and handled like the rock. The grade throughout the earth, or lettered, sections, Chicago to Willow Springs, 's 1 foot In 40,000, and for the rock, or numbered, sections, Willow Springs to Lockport, 1 foot In 20,000.

As has been noted already, the Idea of the utilization of the new drainage canal Is also link of a ship canal connecting Lake Michigan with the Mississippi bus been present In alt tho calculations of the engineers In chaige of this great undertaking. Says Chic Engineer Randolph In a lecent report: "When completed, the main drainage channel will be a free waterway, nnvl-gable for any craft drawing less than 2J feet of water. The cutting being made by this district constitutes nearly two-thirds of tho entire cost of creating channel from Chicago to the Mississippi, which would be navigable for the largest boats that will be able to ply between St. Louis and New Orleans after the present plans for the Improvement of the Mississippi will have been completed." The confident expectation Is that tho United Stutes government will ultimately make the necessary Improvements In the Desplnlnes and Illinois rivers. The total distance from the end of the drainage canal, at Lock-port, to the mouth of the Illinois liver Is about 290 miles.

THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New York, 4. The most conHplcu-ous ot the- d.iy'H trading in stocks was the continued heavy sellinu for for-flprn account abuut which there was con-dderahln mystety. Tho orders to sell In New Yoik came from London, but London atttibuted them to Uerlln account.

Vienna also reported sale-c on Its exchange for Ilttlln account. In spite of the explanation thnt the lierlln sell-injj w.ih fuicccl by money utriiirtency the lierlln discount late, showed ric of only per cent. In lleilln itself the do-prtsslon was attributed to tho decline In KiikIWIi consols and tho capture by the Hilllsh of the Get man steamer Gonnr.il. While the filing movement was obtcuro tinil explanation tonfuctl the fact of It wus bejond doubt Sales by the aiblt-lawo houses In Now Yoik nKnln footed up sbates of tho various International htocks. There Is undoubtedly sine uutasliuss in Iliiiiucl.il circles abto.cd oer tbo possibility of friction between (Jei-mnny nnd (it cat Kritutn over the scrims of Gel man vessels.

It is worthy of note that while Interest rates dec lined In London and the Hank of KiiKland showed a notntdo recuperation In resources In Its weekly statement sterling exchuime al the Important financial centres itdvuiictd slut ply. In splto of tho hurdculng money lute In Uerlln and Paris, The New York sterling rate ndwinced at tho name time, without affecting the local money market In whlth thu rates ruled from 6 to 6 per cent The Inference Is warranted that London Is prep, lug to make further requisition for foreign gold supplies nnd that her money muiket will have to meet demands for the coming government loans. The level of prices thus attained ocmlng after yesterday's sharp reaction, proved so enervating that large and substantial buying appeared which forced a recovery In prices by the end of the lirst hour. Later New York Centrul wus bid up sharply to 137 and the short Interest In sugar was driven to rout by stories of a settlement of the trade war. The specialties showed wider ranges than railroad stocks, but the demand for rati-loads was larger and well distributed nnd except for the special strength In the trunk lines, their gains were riulto uniform.
