THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Its Commercial and Other Advantages
Set Forth.
An Address to the American People,
Giving a Vast Amount OF
Information.

The committee appointed by the Ma
tional Nicaragua Canal Convention at its
meeting in st. Louis, June I'd and Sd, to
prepare an address to the American peo-
pie, giving information as to the feast
bility of the Nicaragua Canal and its COM
mercial and other advantages to the
United States, has just finished the
preparation of such address. The COM
mittee is composed of John S. Jones OF
Arkansas, ex-Congressman Converse OF
Ohio, r. w. MilIsap, the prominent
banker of Mississippi; Captain }. +.
Merry of Manchester, Ia; S. III. Haw-
kins, the railroad President Of Georgia;
Captain Ambrose Snow, President OF the
New York Board of Trade and Transpor-
tation, and Ex-Governor John S. Pills
bury of Minnesota.
The address is supplementary to the
resolutions adopted by the st. Louis Con-
vention, which pointed out the advanta-
ges of the canal and urged it's construc-
ton, ownership and control by the Amer
lean people rather than the English,
French or any other nation. 1t takes the
position that canal, Joining the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans, should be constructed
Tor the most important commercial,
y
that the subject of such a canal is the
most vital connected with the welfare,
growth and prosperity of the United
States. 1t declares that the only feasible
route for such canal is by way OF Mica
ragua, and points out that the conyen-
tons of the two great political parties
have Endorsed the project.
1t appears that all the engineers have
agreed in expressing decided preference
Tor the Nicaragua route, because, among
other reasons, only 263 miles OF the entire
distance of 1924 miles from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific Ocean through Nicaragua will
have to be excaVated. The other 1929
miles consist of Lake Nicaragua, the San
Juan River and depressiOns in the sur
face of the earth. Lake Nicaragua will
constitute a harbor sufficient to accom-
modate the naYies and commerce of the
world. 1t is 10 miles long, 60 miles
wide, and is $50 feet at its deepest points.
Vessels entering the canal from the At
lantic Ocean will sail on level with the
ocean for l24 miles, at the end of which
they Will be raised by three locks to the
level of the lake. They will sail along
the San Juan River and the lake on the
lake level to point within three and one
half miles of the Pacific Ocean. Here
they will be lowered by the locks to the
level of the Pacific Ocean.
The committee says the cost, including
the payment Of interest during the pro-
gress of the work, viii be less than $780,
100000, and the time required for the
completion of the work is within five
years. The climate of Nicaragua is
healthy, and out of 1,600 northern men
employed in constructing a railroad
through q swamp only two died during
a period of four months. OF 200 north
ern engineers and skilled mechanics who
have worked for the canal company for
three years not one mas died from a dis

NOTARIEy SUBPENAS.
To lgnore Them Does Not Constitute
Contempt of Court.
So Decided Judge Catlin Yesterday in
the Case of v. S. McClatchy
of the Evening Bee.',

The matter of V. S. McClatchy, cited to
appear for alleged contempt, at the insti-
CATION of Mrs. Emma Dodge, was taken
up by Superior Judge Catlin yesterday
afternoon.
Albert NJ. Johnson, one of Mrs. Dodge's
attorneys. explained to the court that
McClatchy had been summoned TO appear
before Notary Public Philip S. Driver
and make deposition to be used in the
suit of Mrs. Dodge against him; that he
appeared, but refused to testify. The at
torney said he was aware that under a
decision of the Supreme Court it was not
contempt to disobey a Notary's subpoena,
but in this case the defendant had
obeyed the subpoena by appearing at
Drivers office, and his subsequent re-
fusal to testify amounted to contempt.
In conclusion Mr.. Johnson said that even
if this were not contempt, Mrs. Dodge
had taken this course for her own protec-
ton; that she might strike out the de-
tendant's answer when the case came up
in court.
Charles T. Jones, who appeared for
McClatchy, said he had advised his client
not to testify before the Notary. Nc
CATCHY was before the Police Court at
that time on charge of criminal libel,
brought by Mrs. Dodge, and he did not
propose that she should get evidence by
means of the Notary, to be used against
him in the Police Court.
Judge Catlin said that under the Su-
preme Courts ruling 1.-THE case on hearing
was not one of contempt, and he ordered
the defendant discharged.

The Jetty has been constructed and the
harbor Of Greytown has been restored so
that vessels of fourteen-feet draft have an
easy entrance. Extensive wharves, land

been constructed, temporary camps
erected, telegraph line made, the canal

used at Panama, has been purchased,
and over a mile of the canal has been
dredged.
The exclusive franchise for the steam
navigation OF the San Juan River and
Lake Nicaragua and an extensive plant
for the Navigation Company have been
acquired. The Government of Nicaragua
has acknowledged that the company has
complied with the canal grant, which pro-
vided that 81, 900, 600 must be expended the

to warrant his suspension.
As to the charge of intoxication they
held that the accusation was not sutfi-

it.

been unjustly reprimanded, took off his

Supervisor Erskin Greer was in town
yesterday making preparations for his
trip to San Jose next week to represent
Sacramento at the meeting of the State
Grange. He will leave on Monday,
and will stay till the close of the session
on Saturday.
This session promises to be the most
important that the State Grange has ever
held, and it is expected that there will be
more farmers there than ever before con-
gregated in the State. Some important
matters will come up for consideration,
including some pertaining to proposed
legislation in the interest of the tiIlers of
the soil. pt
Besides the Supervisor, there will go
to San Jose Mrs. E. Greer, G. A. Hull

The tonnage tributary now to the Mica
ragua Canal, and which would pass
through after its opening, is over 6,000,-
600 tons year. At 81 per ton, the charge
made by the SueZ Canal, this would be
Sl2,OO0,000 in tolls. The cost of operation
and maintenance is placed at less than
81, 100000, and 100000 tons would show
net income of Sl1 100000 per annum.
The committee is confident that within
i've years the income will be over 500
GOO, 200.
The committee says it is no longer a
question whether the canal will be built
or not. The only question is as to who
shall build it, and who shall control it
when built? 1t says it has been informed
that European syndicates have already
made overtures to the canal company,
but the committee believes that the
United States cannot afford by careless
ness, hesitation or neglect TO permit an
enterprise of such magnitude and of such
far-reaching advantage to pass under the
control of any foreign company. ut
therefore behooveS us,' the address con-
cIudes, las a nation conscious of the
power we WELD and Of the greater infiu-
ence we may exert upon the destinies of
this continent, to perform the duties
without delay which we deny other ma

early completion Of this work. whose adj
yantages we are willing to share with the
world but whose control should never be
allowed to pass out OF our hands,"

man entered the grocery store kept by A.
Popert, at the corner of Seventh and q

sundries. In payment he rendered a
check on the D. O. Mills Bank for SIS,
the check bearing the signature of Baker

Popert became suspicious and refused
to take the note. The stranger picked it
up and walked away, remarking that he
would be back shortly with some money
to pay for the groceries.
He did not return, however, and
further inquiry by Popert yesterday de-
veloped the fact that Baker 81 Hamilton
had signed no such check and that it was
no doubt forgery.

him in ferocious manner. The officer
managed to get out of the way, but the
dog went after him again, even more
ferociously.
Brissel then became alarmed and, draw
