IS ENTIRELY FEASIBLE
Report of the Nicaraguan Canal
Commission.
FULL TEXT MADE PUBLIC
Estimates for the Best Known Routes
Are Nearly Complsted The Luii
Route the More Desirable and
More Easily Constructed.

Washington. Dec. 2s.-The full text OF
the preliminary report OF the Nicara-
guam canal commission was to-day
made public. 1t says:
The commission visited Nicaragua,
personally examined the entire canal
region from ocean TO ocean and en-
ployed some 20 engineers, with their la
borers and helpers, for 10 months in
making careful surveys and examina-
tons OF the canal region. TIL commits
sion believes that the construction of a
canal across Nicaragua is entirely FEAST
BILE. The estimates OF the two best
known characteristic routes have been
known as the Maritime Canal compa-
ny's route and the Lull QUITE. Their
estimated cost is approximately $l24.-
600. 900 and SIPS, ooo. 600 respectively. The
assume dimensions are considerably
greater than ever before proposed, both
in length of locks and in width, depth
and radius Of curvature of canal. These
increased dimensions have been made
necessary by the demands OF modern
commerce, size n draft Of modern
ships, etc.
This has necessarily made a corre-
spending increase in the estimated cost
and is in no way consistent with the es-
Inmates made from former surveys,
which contemplated a much smaller
and cheaper canal. IL is the opinion OF
this commission that of the two routes
herewith estimated for. the one called
the Lull route is the more desirable, be-
cause IL Is easier of construction, pre-
sents no problems not well within good
engineering presidents, n will be a

than IL should be by about 20 per cent.

II Washington and the mainland so
far compliment our people as to
ask them If they have any preference
for new officialdom, then will be the
proper time for us to decide in a
legitimate manner by tentative
ballot or public meetings whether
or not we have any choice. If Dole
or Sewall, Damon or Judd, Cooper
or Smith or a hundred others are
candidates they undoubtedly will
look after their own fences at
Washington, but we doubt much
whether any of the gentlemen
named are mounted to win. The
support Of the local press will not
aid them. Its untruthfulness was
made patent during the annex
alton debates.

WEDNESDAY, DEC. Ia, 1898.
TWO NEW CL ASSES

The missionary organ has evident
ly been inspired by the mutual ad-
miration society Of the righteous
crew and has come to the conclusion
that the "whites" in this country are
composed OF two classes to wit: the
missionaries and the beachcombers.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-12-14

The organ does not give us a
definition Of the two classes, which
is rather unfortunate. We presume
it means by missionaries the mem
bers of the family compact and by
beachcombers the rest of the white
population.

Stray horses and mules are be-
coming a nuisance in certain parts
OF the city, and the authorities seem
to be unwilling to take any steps to
check this violation OF the laws. On
Saturday night horse strayed into
a garden on King street and did
considerable damage to the plants.
The horse was caught and on Mon
day morning sent to the pound.
The person in charge refused to i'm
pound the horse, because the owner
had already been there and notified
him that his horse had strayed. We
would like to know by what right
the poundmast can refuse to i'm
pound stray horse, and will sug-
gest to the Interior Department to
investigate the matter. Somebody
had evidently been "seen." The
owner of the yard, which frequently
is being raided by stray animals,
says that if the poundmaster does
not help him in his battle against
estrays, he will follow the example
of certain reverend gentleman and
use pitchfork.

1t is the duty OF the Priests of the
Roman Catholic Church to visit all
hospitals and other places where
the sick and sorrowful are to be
found, and administer spiritual com.
fort to those who may desire it. A
priest has daily visited the military
hospital to offer his services to any
member OF his church, who might
be suffering in that institution.
Major Wood who now is in charge
ofthe military hospital peremptorily
refused the venerable priest, who
made his regular call, permission to
enter the hospital, and in brusque
and insolent manner told him that
if any sick soldier desired to see a
priest he would be sent for, other
wise he needn't call around. We
presume that the gallant surgeon is
an A. p. A., and that he considers
the presence and consolation Of a
Catholic priest injurious to the poor
fever stricken soldiers. The good
old father who was treated in such
a cavalier manner, bows his head in
humble submission to the military
authority at the hospital; he still
prays for the sick soldiers, but the
treatment offered to him will reach
many homes on the mainland and
create deep and just indignation
towards those who even object to
allowing the poor sick soldiers the
consolation OF religion.

THE NEWS FROM ANpREE.

The report that mail carrier in the
frozen regions Of Alaska is the bearer
Of word from hndree to the effect that
the daring explorer is stili In the land
Of the living or was when the carrier
pigeon bringing the alleged message
was caught, needs confirmation.
Should Andree again turn up, 1t would
be almost as through miracle. Not
long ago Professor Nordenskjold re-
ported to the Swedish academy In
Stockholm that word had been received
by the Swedish ministry Of foreign
affairs that balloon had been seen
by several persons in British Columbia
near the headwaters of the Fraser
river, In latitude 80 degrees, twenty
minutes north and longitude 122 de-
grces. 30 minutes west. This was, ac-
cording to the rumor. between the 4th
and eth of August, 1897. 1t is not i'm
probable that the ifport by the mail
carrier and that which found Its way
to the Swedish capital have the same
origin and must be regarded as rest
ing on very slender foundations.
Scientists regard Andree's undertake
Ing as extremely doubtful. The plan
rested on the supposition that favor
able air current would be at the service
Of the balloon, although 1t Is evident
that the worlds knowledge OF the
Arctic currents in the extreme lati-
tudes is equal to almost nothing. The
equipment of the balloon is also be-
lleved to have been defective. A
German scientist expresses as his
opinion that the balloon was wrecked
somewhere in the region of Franz
Josefland and that parts Of 1t may be
recovered there. What the fate of the
aeronauts was Is only matter Of con-
lecture.
OF course there is always a posi-
hllity that the explorers escaped from
the balloon with their lives, and in that
case they would be in a position not
essentially different from that in which
Nansen and Johansen were after leav'

AN Ausr,crous CONFERENCE.

The Slxty-eighth Conference of the
Saints opened today under circum-
stances and prospects OF character
most favorable and satisfactory, and
at least some OF the reports that will
be presented relative to the progress OF
the work of the Lord. both at home
and abroad, are sure to be highly pleas
ing to the Saints. The success that is
attending the labors OF the missionaries
who are travelling In various countries
of the world. and the remarkable
awakening In spiritual matters which
has been effected among the young
people OF most OF the Stakes OF Zion
during the past winter, are some OF the
most gratifying phases of the present
situation which environs the Church.
A signal feature coincident with this
gathering of the Saints Is comprised
of the war clouds that darken the sky
over great portion OF the world. por-
tending the events and calamities
which the inspired servants OF God
In this age have long been foretelling:
and while the spirit OF the Gospel is the

affairs and conditions of the nations.
and looks forward with both the faith
and the hope that God will overrule for
the best the developments that are talk
ing place in the earth.
The opening day of this Conference
commentaries several events In the
history OF the world. The suggestion
is made that there Is reason to believe
1t to be the true anniversary Of the
savior's birth; while most Sunday
school Children in the chIGoh know that
1t is the day Of the year on which was
organized as Il religious body. the Lat
ter-day Saints. Fifty-eight years ago
today President. then Apostle, Brigham
Young. first set foot on English soil. and
forty-four years ago today the allied

resulting in the Crimean campaign.
The message of President Mckinley. so
likely to be followed by war with Spain,
read before Congress today. is cited as
a significant coincidence.
