canal commission, the successor of the
Nicaraguan canal commission, are con-
sidering the details of the work before
the various commissions, the personnel
of which was announced about a week
ago. Lieutenant Sidney A. Staunton,
flag lieutenant on Admiral SIMPSONS
cruiser the New York. was chosen sec
rotary to the commission. The Panama
canal section of the commission will
probably visit Paris and arrangements
are making TO that end.
The work of the old commission under
the previous appropriation is being
rapidly wound up owing to the decision
of the treasury department that the old
appropriation does not hold over except
in the case of contracts already entered
into. This will throw the printing of
the Nicaraguan report on the appro-
priation. The report has just reached
the public printer so that its publica-
ton is a matter of the distant future
The observation work begun by the
old commission is being kept up and
four additional men will be sent to the
field by Saturdays steamer from New
York. They are J. o. Jones of Ala
bama and Thomas F. Boltz of Phila-
delphia, both with the expedition last
year and Stamford A. Harris of North
Carolina and ". c. G. MagrUder of
Washington, both new appointees.
The commission is hurrying to make
up it's field plans and it is thought the
majority of the members will sail for
the isthmus by the end of July.
