Washington, Aug. 3.—Lloyd Aspinwall has been here for 3 days in consultation with Senator Jones, of Florida, in regard to the construction of a canal to connect the Gulf of Mexico with the Atlantic. Mr. Aspinwall showed that he has money enough subscribed to construct the canal, and only asks a special charter from Florida. Senator Jones is going in a few days to Florida to urge a special session of the Legislature to grant a charter. He is convinced that a company is ready to begin work and has money to complete it. The estimate is that it will take $20,000,000 and three years time to complete the canal. There is no doubt now that the Florida Legislature will be convened within sixty days to grant a charter and that work will be begun by the first of December.
