GREAT. SHIP TUNNEL.
STARTLING SCHEME FOR UNIT
ING TWO OCEANS.
German Engineering Expert Proposes
to Build Canal Across the Isthmus
Between North and South America
Hole Through q Mountain.

G. A. Karwiese, the German en-
cheering expert, who was consulting
engineer in the construction of the Su-
ez Canal, now proposes to build n still
more remarkable ship canal across the
isthmus between North and South
America. s,
His plan is to tunnel through noun
tain range. BY this plan full-rigged
ships with masts reaching up $50 feet
high could sail right through the noun
tain range four abreast. The object OF
such a tremendous and unheard-of un-
dertaking as this Is to make the short
est possible cut through the isthmus
connecting North and South America.
Some time ago this plan of Mr.. Kar-
wiese was submitted to Admiral Walk
er,of the Nicaragua Canal Commission.
The proposed Nicaragua Canal which
the United States Government has had
repeated surveys made for will have to
be 169 miles long. Engineer Karwiese's
proposed canal would be but eleven
miles long. Only one and two-thirds
miles of this would be tunnel through
the mountain. The other nine miles
would be simply the enlarging Of ex-
listing waterways leading to the At
lantic and Pacific.
The Interior of the ship tunnel could
be lighted by electricity, and motor en-.
ergy supplied by electrical power trans
formed from the tides by machines es
pecially constructed for that purpose
Such a machine already exists and has
been patented by William Bowman, OF
Norfolk, n. Y.
A single lock at each terminus Of can
al construction would absolutely con
troll the water level between the two
oceans. These locks would, of course
be necessary to prevent flood tide Oh
one side of the isthmus from rushing
through the artificial opening between
the continents. BY this method navi
cation through the isthmus in still wa
ter and on ocean level would be prac
tically possible. No other plan ever
suggested provides for an ocean leve
canal.
Engineer Karwiese claims that such
a canal could be built in two years fol

The peace congress at The Hague has
developed many rows that may eventu-

Is not unlikely that duel or two will
result from this gathering, where every
thing was supposed TO move along peace
fully and harmoniously. Rechid Bey,
secretary TO the head of the Turkish del
egation, figures prominently in one Of
these quarrels and is after the scalp Of a
couple of Turkish and Armenian reform
ers who tried to get the conference to
stop the Sultan from butchering Arme-
mans. Rechid is very close to the Sultan
and this stirred up his Turkish blood to
such degree that he challenged the two
rcformers. Duelling Is against the laws

OREGON REGATTA.
Interesting Skiff and Double Scull
Races and Small Events.

Astoria, Ore, Aug. 22.-The weather

quarters of mile and return, and was
won by Ayres. Time-11:19.
The double scull race between a Port
land crew composed of Hart and Scott,
and a Vancouver crew, composed of
Alexander and Thompson, was won by
the former.
There was a constant succession of
small events, such as tub races, swim
ming matches and high diving through
out the entire day. Owing to the lack
of wind, the afternoon sailing races
were not a success. Tomorrow, the last
day of the carnival, will be celebrated
with a series of land sports.

Late last evening Attorneys Powers,

before the court this morning. prepared
to make arguments in support of their
motion, should there be opposition from
the county attorney.
That Mr.. Putnam will oppose the mo-
ton to admit Benbrook TO bail is well
understood. He considers that the pris-
oner committed a deliberate and wilful
murder, and that the evidence is con-
elusive. He holds that it is such a
case as comes under section s, article
Of the constitution, which says: "Alt
prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient
sureties, except for capital offenses,
when the proof is evident, or the pre-
sumption strong"
But Mr.. Putnam is not in town. and
will very likely not be here today, sor
that he can combat the motion. AS
sistant Attorney Van Colt and ex-Sen-i
ator Arthur Brown are here, but the
latter is not able to appear in court,
and it is not considered that Mr.. Van
Colt would want to have the questions
heard in court in Mr.. Putnam'S abb
sence. Consequently, they may ask for
a postDOnement.
The section of the revised statutes
under which the motion for bail is
made is No. 1894. 1t provides that IF
the offenSe charged in the information
or indictment is punishable with death,
the officer arresting the defendant must
deliver him into custody, according to
the command of the warrant, and when
the defendant shall have been so deliv-
cred, he must be held by the sheriff,
