NICARAGUAN CANAL.
Capt. Taylor OF the Naval War Col
lPge on Its Cost


Capt. H. n. Taylor, president Of the Uni
ted States Naval War College at Newport,
X. l., addressed the House Commerce Com
mlttce yesterday upon the pra cticabli.tv and
cost of construction OF the NicaraClIan
Canal. He explained that he HAD never
been sufficiently identified with the enter
prise TO speak with correctness OF its engi-
neering details. He was, however. a<so.
cldted with il III an official capacity for
several years.
He did not believe that even those who
were hostile To the canal doubted its praC-
ticablity; the only cons liberation was as 10
the cost. SO far as the pecuniary outlay
was concerned. il was possible, he said. to
spend Sl2O, O,0UG,0nO or ST sc, 600 600 on
the canal. Under wise and prudent man
aEemeut, however. these figures would
not exceed $50 .00O, 900. This was also
the opinion OF other persons who were not
connected with the company, but who had
such regard for their predictions as to ex
erclSc great care in making their estimates
The COmpany'S estimate. he said, was
S65.O00.GuO. although some persons be-
heNed 1t could be profitably constructed
with depth of % feet for not more than
500. 100000. If. however, double locks
from go to lC0 feet. the estimates could
easily be run up to $50 100000.
RAISING 10 the question of the uses of fhe
cahal, ne thought that these would be both
national and International. 1T would be
a great factor III starting the American
flag OH the seas. BY taking this intervene
Ing step, 1t would make our coaStwise COM
mercc deer-sea commerce.. This, he az.
serted. would give new birth to our shin
ping interests.
