NICAR Aqua CANAL.
An Abstract of the Report of tho
Walker Commission. !

The State Department has made publit
an official abstract of the report Of thA
Nicaraguan canal commission as presented
by Admiral Walker, the head Of the CONF
mission. as follows:
The commission understood that IL was
required TO consider all routes heretofore
proposed having any merit, that new
routes that appeared to have merit should
be developed. and the entire region Of canal
possibilities should be examined with suffi-
cient thoroughness to enable a just and
comprehensive comparison of the various
routes to be made and the most desirable
one selected.
With this view the commission made a
careful study of ali data bearing upon the
Nicaraguan canal question and organized
a large force.
Much delay to the work and great an
noyance TO working parties was caused by
attempts at revolution and by the strained
relations between the governments Of Mica
ragua and Costa Rica. The outbreak of the
war between the United States and Spain
was also a serious matter.
The report goes into minute details in re-
spect to all question connected with the
construction OF the canal, and says after
mature deliberation the commission has
adopted and estimated for the route from
Brito to Lake Nicaragua, called Childs'
route, and from the lake to Greytown,
called Lull route. This line. leaving Brito
follows the left bank Of the Rio Grande TO
near Bueno Retro, crosses the western di-
vide TO the valley of the Lajas which IL
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 Juanflo and
across the low country to Greytown, pass
ing to the northward of Lake Silico. 1t re-
quires but a single dam with regulating
works at both ends of the summit level.
The surveys have In general revealed bet
ter physical conditions than We're hitherto
amount of rock in the upper river whereby
II Is possible TO greatly reduce the estfmat-
ed 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 represent cost of plant
prices paid for work done and contractors
profits were taken. To these prices certain
percentages were added for the difference
in location. climate etc.
In obtaining the estimates for the cost of
locks the prices actually paid for building
the government 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 els-
ments of this important question and With
sions, based upon substantial facts. the
commission believes that a canal can he
built across the isthmus on this route for
not exceeding $11S. .l1S 100
+, Colonel Hams concurs generally with the
views OF the other members of the commis-
sion. but his estimate of the cost is Sl34.-

FOR AN ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL.
Plan Submitted to Peace Conference
by American DeIegates

A dispatch from The Hague yesterday
says: Both sections of the disarmament
committee met today, and, as was antici-
pated, failed to agree with regard to the
questions of new inventions in ornaments
The drafting committee Of the arbitration
committee made some advance this after
noon. The American delegates submitted
their scheme relating to an arbitration tri-
bunal. The plan differs from the British
proposal. 1t provides that each country
shall appoint a single arbitrator, to be Sc
lected by the supreme courts of the sigma
tory powers. The tribunal shall have a
permanent central seat and be composed of
at least three judges, who shall not be ma
tives or residents of countries belonging to
the powers in diScord.
The general expenses shall be shared pro-
portfonately. In the event of new facts
arising within three months of decision,
the same tribunal shall have power TO try
again the questions in dispute. Recourse to
the tribunal shall be optional for the sigma
tory powers. The tribunal shall not take
cognizance of any dispute until assured
that the parties concerned will accept its
decision.
The convention shall come into force and
the tribunal be established when nine DOW
ers, eight of whom shall be European or
