Paper on ths Inser-Occan C"nss.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-A. G.
Menocals's paper on the Inter-
oceanic canal was read last evening
before the American Society of En-
gineers. His conclusions are: First,
u canal on the ocean level cannot |
be made practical or profitable.
Second, a canal with locks is cer-
tainly practicable, and would with
out doubt be profitable to the COM
merce of America and of the world. |
Third, the Panama and Nicarauga |
routes are the only ones to be |
thought of, and of these two the
latter offers the best and the most |
to the United States.
Menocals's paper is to be published
at once, and at future meeting of
the Society 1t will be discussed.
