! WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Copies Of tho
preliminary report of the Nicaraguan
canal commission, Of which Admiral
Walker is chairman, have been fur
nished to Senator Morgan and others in
terested in the bill now pending in con-
gress on tho subject. The commission
has not yet fully worked out all the de-
tails of construction Of the canal, but
the report sets forth briefly the views of
the commissioners as to the feasibility
sof the work and the maximum cost at
which it is believed the waterway can
be constructed. Three routes are
spoken Of, the low level, the high level
or Menocal route, and an intermediary
route, and all Of these, the. report, says
Senator Morgan, considers feasible of
construction. In the work Of arriving
at q statement Of probable maximum
cost, the commission furnished figures
Of the low level route, which the senator
says is considered - =.
Longest and Most Expensive.
For this route Admiral Walker stated
the cost would be $124, ,O00, 900, Profess
cor Haupt $12s, 900, 900, while General
Haines added 20 per cent to these fig
ures because Of various conditions,
chiefly the question Of the cost Of labor;
which it was impossible, he thought, to
figure on with absolute conclusiveness.
The report, says the senator, shows con-
cluGvely that the project IL an entirely
feasible one and in it's construction the
government has the choice Of any one of
three routes. The senator believes,
however, that all these figures are too
high and expresses tho opinion that
11OO, ,00O. 900 will cover the entire cost Of
construction, basing this belief on what
has been done In tho case Of tho Man
!, chester, the Kiel and tho Chicago
drainage canals. ~.s. ~:

while Ohio's home company has as-
sets Of moro than $l8, 100000, ard
"isconsin's home company has more
than $l00,O00,O0O."
Tho Financial Chronicle contri-
butes some further interesting infor-
nation bearing on the general sub
ject; ono highly suggestive state
ment being that the priicles of life
insurance in force in New York alone
in 1897 amounted to 81, 1926, 1876 5,54t,
and tho gross assets to $l,334,O51,-
Dbl. These figures, as the Manufac-
turers' Record says, sufficiently "in-
dictate tho accumulation Of wealth
through tho AGENCY OF insurance
companies," and it adds all that is
necessary to add by way Of comment,
when it says:
"How much tho South has contri-
buted to these acoumulations and 10
others in the North would be diff
cult to estimate, but it is fact be-
yond dispute that tho South sends
annually millions Of dollars to out
side insurance companies in tho pay
ments on policies, comparatively Ill
tlo Of which returns in the form of
permanent Investments. The estab-
lishmont Of home companies in
Southern States will tend to koep tho
money in those sections whore it is
most needed. What has beon dono
in Now Zealand, in Michigan or
OHIO can certainly be done in Texas
and many another Southern Stale,
provided every safeguard is had in
organization and operation OF tie
companies"
The SUCCESS of the Equitable Fire
Insurance Company in Charleston
has shown what home companies can
do. 1t has been organized for about
two yoars, and has made n remark
| able record. Tho business Of the
company has steadily increased and
its stock 'a now regarded as one Of
the safest and most profitable seouri-

FLAGS ROSE
And FlOated Majestically Over
the Santa Fe Shops Today.

While the big steam whistle sent up
its 81 blasts for the national salute, and
all the locomotives chimed in to help
out in the patriotic noise, the stars and
stripes were hoisted over the eight
main buildings comprising the Santa
F'e shops in this city. The flags were
II by % feet in size, and were purchas-
ed by contributions 'front.' men en-
ployed in the shops
An immense crowd saw the flag rails
ing. The shop men were there in full
force with their families and all thei-
friends. The Santa Fe Office boys were
there, having marched in a body from
the general offices. And then there were
thousands of people there who have no
connection with the Santa Fe but are
patriotic enough to go and see the
Stars and Stripes raised anywhere.
Each of the Santa Fe employees who
marched to the shops carried a small
flag, and in advance of the procession
walked one of their members carrying
a banner with the following inscrip-
ton:
Santa Fe Agent at Manila-Comluo-
dore Dewey"

completed his speech, Master of Cere-
monies John Hartly waved his hand to
the engineers sitting in their cabs and
the signal for the unfurling of the
flags was given by one short blast. Cne
after another the flags shook loose
from the tops of the different poles
while the other engines standing in the
yards took up the whistling and the
big Santa Fe whistle chimed in. The
crowd cheered as long as the whistles
blew. The flags were unfurled from
the roundhoUSe, machine shops, paint
shops, car shops, planning mill, the plat
ing department, store house, depot, Of
fees, brass foundry, freight depot, car
yards and repair yards.
In his speech Governor Leedy said:
