THE NicARAGUAN CANAL.
Capt. Taylor Of United States Naval War COL
Iege Expresses His Views.

Washington. April captain H. D.
Taylor, president of the United States
Naval War College at Newport, r. J.,
addressed the House commerce CONF
mittee. today. upon the practicability
and cost of construction of the Nica-
ragua canal. He explained that he
never had been sufficiently identified
with the enterprise to speak with cor
rectness of its engineering details. He
was associated with it in an official
capacity several years. He did not be-
lieve even those hostile to the canal
doubted its practicability; the only
consideration was as to the cost.
AS for as the pecuniary outlay was
concerned. it was possible. he said to
spend $4,000 900 or $3.50 200, 900 on
the canal. Under wise and prudent
management, these figures would not
exceed $4,000, 600. This was the opin-
ion of other persons not connected
with the company, but who had such
regard for their prediction as to exer-
else great care in making estimates.
The company's estimate, he said. was
800 900 900, although several persons be-
lieved it could be profitably constructed
with depth of y feet for not more
than $50000.0 900. If double locks were
used and the rock cut widened from so
to 100 feet. the estimates could be run
up to $50. 00o, 600.
Passing to the question Of the uses of
the canal. he thought these would be
both national and international. 1t
would be a great factor in starting the
American flag on the seas by taking
this ilferyanino 1lx..
our coastwise commerce. deep sea COM
merce. This, he asserted, would give
new birth TO our shipping interests.

WORK ON THE JAM.
About Two Miles of the Mass
Has Been Blown Out.
Dynamite Has Been Used on the Jam
with Best of Results.
With Bay Clear and Free Outlet No Farther
Trouble Is Feared.

The work of blowing the jam has
been completed, and. it is thought it
is row in such condition that in case
of a freshet no trouble will occur.
There has been blown in the jam a
channe! of considerable width. beginning
near the foot of Swan island, at the
ended which was recently cut to per-
nit an exit of the matter to the bay,
some six miles below.
Ira II. Randall. who has had charge
of the work, said TO Journal reporter.
Wednesday. The work has now been
completed. and from the present con-
ditions l think here is little to be APP
pretended from a freshet Now that
the Merrymeeting bay is open, and the
river up to the foot of the jam is clear
from ice. there will be, we think. a sufii-
cient outlet.
The channel has been made in the
jam beginning at the point where Mir.
Lawrence was compelled by the thick
ness in the ice to leave off. This chan
mel is of sufficient width. to give a
vent. and is cut where it was piled up
highest.
The ice has melted above the water
line to some extent, but below has been
but LITTLE effected
Il think that the cutting of the chan
mel in the river has been a great NOV,
as. had it not been cut, all that ice
which has now passed out from below,
and above Browns point. including
where the Bay Island boom was placed,
would ROW be there and in case of q
freshet would not give the jam ice any
outlet, whatever. When the channel
was cut, the ice broke up. and passed
down the river
Nh Randall stated that he could now
give nothing definite in regard to the
expense, but would do So in a few days.
There has been during the past few
days a crew of about 20 men at work
1t is generally thought by those who
have looked over the situation thai,
the most dangerous features of the jam
has been done away with. and that
there is nothing further to be feared
from it.
