tive 20 the construction of the Isthmian
canal Fhe purpose was to decide up-
on the measures to be adopted to carry
out the direction OF Congress to make a
thorough examination OF the various
routes, Nicaraguan and Panama, and
report the result to the next session OF
Congress. 1t was realized that the task
set was well night impossible OF COM
pliancc on account of the enormous
amount OF the work involved in n
thorough examination of even one
route, as was shown by the fact that
the Walker commission, under the Ad-
mirafs energetic direction was not able
to present more than n mere outline OF
tho survey made last Summer of the
Nicarasuan routes.
No decision was reached to-day as to
the details, but it is believed that the
President will have recourse to the
plan of appointing one or two addition

and extending the functions of that
body TO cover the whole field in Column
