The NICARAGUA CANAL.
An Official Abstract of the Commissioners
Report.
COST OF CONSTRUCTION NOT so GREAT
As mt FirAt Estimated ns the Route
Selected Does Not Present Any
Great Difficulty.

Washington. May 31.--The state depart
ment today made public an official abstract
of the report of the Nicaragua canal COM
mission as presented by Admiral Walker,
the head of the commission The report
itself covers 1856 typewriter pages and is
accompanied by eleven appendices. 1t is
understood TO be the intention OF the
president to submit the full report to
congress at the beginning of the next ses-
sion.
The report goes into minute details with
respect to all matters connected with the
construction of the canal and says that
after mature deliberation the commission
has adopted an estimate for the route from
Brito to Lake Nicaragua, called Childs
route, and from the lake to Greytown,
called Lul route. This line follows the
bank OF the Rio Grande to near Bueno
Retro, crosses the western divide to the
valley OF the Lajas which it follows to
Lake Nicaragua Crossing the lake to the
head OF the San Juan river it follows the
upper river to near Boca San Carlos
thence in excavation, by the left bank OF
the river to the San Janlllo and across the
country to Greytown, passing TO the
northward OF Lake Silico, 1t requires but
a single dam with regulating works at
both ends OF the summit level. The sur
veys, however, in general reveal better
physical conditions than were hitherto
supposed to exist especially as 20 the
amount of rock in the upper river, where
| by 1t Is possible to greatly reduce the e.
| timated cost OF construction.
| To determine the proper unit prices for
| excavation, the average of prices actually
paid to contractors on the Chicago drain
age canal, which represents cost of plant,
prices paid for work done and contractors
profits, were taken. To these prices GER
tain percentages were added for the differ
ence in location, climate etc. In obtain
ing the estimates for the cost of locks, the
prices actually paid for building the gov
eminent locks at Sault Ste Marie were
taken and 80 per cent was added for the
difference OF location. After giving due
weight to all the elements of this impor-
tant question and with an earnest desire
TO reach logical conclusions based upor
substantial facts, the commission believes
that a canal can be built across th'
isthmus on this route for not exceeding
Sis 113 100. Colonel Hanes concurs gen
orally with the views of the other mem
bers Of the commission, but his estimat!
Of the cost is s134,S1S30S.

AND THEY NIRED DOWN.

ishes the Mud.
PlTEOUS CRIES BROUGHT HELP.
Two Plccaninnies From the Coun-
try Stuck In the Mud, on Broad
Street-A Great Crowd
Gathered.
PITEOUS CRIES BROUGHT HELP.

Yesterday afternoon two country
darkies of the female sex, about
six or eight years old, started
across Broad street from the north
curb to that of the south. When
near the curb in front of Sharpe &
Brewers, the pair struck mud that
was mud, and they made frantic
efforts to extricate their feet, but
the mud cluug to them closer
than does Mckinley to his expan-
sion ideas, and finding they we're
Sin it" and no chance I'd get out,
they both set up scream that
could be heard a block off,
The cries of child is1always ans
wered with a sympathetic response,
and men could be seen hurrying in
all directions toward the sound of
distress, and as each one arrived
the picture of the mired up chill
dren looked so ridiculous, that no
one went to their immediate re-
lief, but just let them howl away.
Finally, boy went out and lifted
them out OF the mud and set them
on the pavement.
If this is not an argument for
those people who own property ia
this block to have the block paved,
we cannot put one before them
more forcibly.
Again, we suggest to tenants of
foreign landlords that they Sign an
agreement with the Ockanders for
the maccadam pavements, and
then take it out of the rent. If
the said hard-fsted- landlords try
to evade accepting it, no jury
would give them verdict.

RESCUE WORK.
Some Heroic Work Done In This
Direction.

Some Heroic Work Done In This
Direction.
Last Friday when the water was
raging and surging in Nix's Creek,
Mr. Joe Murphy and Hugh Grafton
procured a boat and rowed to a
negro house they discovered sub
merged on the Kirby plat of
ground. When they got to the
hoase, they found three negro wo
men aud a dog on the bed, with the
water touching the mattress of the
bed.
They also found rooster perch
ed on the foot of the bed water
soaked from jumping off the bed
into the water, which died soon
after they tied the boat to the bed
and before they could get the wo-
men and dog in the boat. They
landed the negroes on high ground
and they were happy at their es-
cape.
After landing these people they
rowed to a house submerged just
back of the Reeves novelty works,
and found the water several inches
deep on the floor, but the occu-
pants said they would not leave the
house, and they were lett. The two
gentlemen deserve credit for the
work they did in relieving these
people from an embarrassing posi-
ton.
