THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

Tho ommlssion VIII Recommend That
All the Work Done Upon the Project Bs
Abandoned.
WASHINGTON, Oct. lp.-Col Ludlow,
chairman OF the commission appointed
some time ago to make personal In.
vestigation Of the Nicsraguan canal
project, Is at present in New York pro.
pairing his report The outline has
been completed, and It was learned
that the commission recommends that
all the work that has thus far been
done upon the project be abandoned.
The railroad built to aid in the con.
struction is reported to be absolutely
useless, and tho dredging Of the har.
Dor OF Grcytown is said to have been
simply waste Of money, because the
sands have drifted Ia and filled up the
harbor SO that it will oil have to DO
done over again. The commission,
however, finds that the Niearaguan
route Is the most feasibl Of any project
for a ship canal between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans.
