NicaraEuan Canal Commissions Report

Nicaraguan Canal Commissions Report
to the President.
The Nicaraguan canal commission. through
Colonel Ludlow, its chairman, submitted to
the president through Secretary olney its re-
port upon the examination for the route OF
the canal directed by congress last session.
Although the report probably will be with
held from the public until congress meets,
there Is good reason for the belief that gener-
ally IL nnds the canal project entirely fcasi-
BILE and worthy OF execution. IL is believed
that some changes have been suggested la
the line OF the projected canal, but these. II Is
stated, will not affect the question Of eXpedi-
ency Ia any material degree.
The work done by the commission in the
brief space Of time allotted is almost phen-
omenal considering the magnitude OF the
project The members were required TO take
a fully equipped surveying party 10 Nicara-
to ascertain the character OF the adjacent
country with u view TO improving upon the
line projected. II that wero possible TO visit
the Panama canal and form u judgment upon
the enduring qualities OF earth works eX-
posed 20 heavy tropical rains, and finally to
compile all OF the measurements and iniot-
nation and prepare estimates OF costs. This
latter branch of the work, which was carried
on IN New York, was the most eNactinr and
laborious part OF the whole work, and IL has
required unremltting toll day and night, TO
complete athe report Friday which was the
last day Of the time allowed by congress for
its submission.

CURIOUS PHENOMENA.
Small Streams in Indiana Suddenly
Filled With Water.

small streams In Indiana suddenly
Filled With Water.
An interesting point for specialists to con-
slider in connection with the earthquake Is
the fact that q number OF the smaller Indiana
streams. having their source In the southern
border OF the gas belt, have suddenly illled
with water
No rains have occurred in this state for
months TO swell the streams, and In the case
OF Honey creek. In the eastern part Of Bar
tholemew county. IL had gone dry several
weeks ago, the water standing only In pools
here and there. This week IL Is filled to the
brim, and in some places has overflowed and
washed away fences on the adjoining farms
Sugar creek, that runs near Edinburg John :
son county, was nearly dry, but today 1t is
reported to be nearly nllcd. Smaller streams
rising in the Hancock county gas territory
have shown similar phenomena.
No one can explain whence the water comes
and II Is offered that the sinking OF the earth
In the gas belt has afforded new outlets for
underground water courses. thus feeding the
streams. Ia the case Of Honey creek, the
records show that previous TO tae Charleston
earthquake, August !. 1885, the stream acted
rs IL has now. The phenomen was reported
previous TO the quake on September 26, 1876,
both Of these quakes having been strongly
feltin Indiana.
The most remarkable demonstration was
at Charleston, Mo. After the first shock the
earth's surface continued to vibrato fully
twenty minutes. Hundreds OF chimneys
were toppled down aud plate glass in several
store fronts broken TO bits. The brick Metho
dist church was badly shattered. and the
plastprins knocked from hundred or more
interiors. In the country four miles south of
Charleston the crust OF the earth was broken
in fifty places and from the assures water
and sand were gushing in considerable vol
umes. The same thing Is reported in dis.
iricts further south and also at Big lake
several miles north of the town. This is a part
Of the old volcano region. which was over
whelmed and nearly destroyed by an earth
