Commission Estimates Range From
100000 to $4,000. 900.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Admiral Walker,
chairman of the Nicaraguan canal com
mission. when questioned today as to the
time when the report of the commission
would be sent to congress, said that the
time could not be stated definitely, as the
report had not been signed nor entirely
completed. He presumed. however. that
it would be ready within the next very
few days. In answer to further INQUIRIES
the admiral said that there was no diff
ference Of opinion among the members of
the commission, except possibly on the
question of cost, and that differences
might be adjusted so that the report
would be unanimous on all points.
Some months ago Admiral Walker
stated to a committee of congress that
in his Judgment the canal would not cost
more than $125. 900 600. Another member
of the commission fixed the maximum at

According to this, the lady in question

most remarkable feature of them being
that they are firmly believed by the
people who retail the story. 1t is said
that a certain Bengalee, being hard up,
applied to her for money, and she at
once agreed to give him ten rupees if
he could produce one.
This he did, and, received ten from
out of the handful of dust she hastily
picked UP from the road. He placed
the eleven rupees carefully in his purse,
but on reaching home he found the en-
tire eleven missing. Al corresponding
accident occurred TO a simple bearer, on
whom she bestowed five in addition to
one rupee he possessed. He wrapped
the six carefully in his loin cloth, but
on reaching home they were non est,
which he considered so dishonest that
he informed the police that he had
been swindled. The woman, was there
fore arrested and hailed before a magis-
trate (name not stated, who Dues

She denied any swindling or wish to
swindle, and said they might lock her
up if they liked, but that they could
not keep her free spirit Gagged. The
magistrate suggested that anyway,
the experiment might be tried: and she

Double Standard hits the nail on the
