COMMISSIONERS DISAGREE.
No Report Yet on the Proposed Nicaragus

No Report Yet on the Proposed Nicaragua
Canal.
NEW YORK, May IA special to
the Herald from Washington says: On
account of the difficulty of reaching an
unanimous conclusion as to the cost of
the proposed water way, the Nicaragua
canal commission b as not yet submit
ted report. and it is not expected to
do so for some time.
When the report is submitted, the
president will appoint the isthmian
canal commission, authority for which
is rgiven in the river and harbor ap-
preparation bill. Rear Admiral Walk
er and Civil Engineer Haupt are
practically agreed on the question of
cost, but General Haines, the third
member, thinks the estimate of his
colleagues too low. When all the
figures as to the amount of material to
be removed and required in the con-
struction of the canal, with the condi-
tions prevailing, had been received,
the three commissioners reported an
agreement on the cost of each feature
of the work. Rear-Admiral Walker
was quite willing to let this sum, with
an addition of 10 per cent for emer-
gencies, stand as the estimate of the
construction, but General Haines
thinks the canal will cost more than
the sum estimated by Rear-Admiral
Walker and Mr.. Haupt
When the preliminary report of the
was submitted, Rear-Ad-
miral Walker and Mr. Haupt estimat-
ed S126, 900 but General Haines
added a minority report, which, while
it approved the route selected by his
colleagues, added 20 per cent to the
estimate of cost

Governor of Idaho Calls on the Presi-

BOISE, April, 30.-Last night Gov
ernor Steunenberg sent the following
dispatch to the president:
BOISE, April, 29.-To the Presi'
dent, Washington, D. c.: In pursu-
ance of the statutes in such case made
and provided, l, Frank Steunenberg,
governor of Idaho, the legislature not
being in session, and it not being pos
sible to conyene it, do hereby apply to
the president of the United States to
call forth military forces of the United
Staes to suppress the lnsurrection in
Shoshone county, State of Idaho.
This action is sustained in the fact
that all the available national guard
volunteered for service in the Philip
pines, and said county is in state OF
insurrection. l am of the opinion
that at least 500 troops in the aggre-
gate will be necessary. But smaller
should be ordered in as
rapidly as possible.

corted them to Wheaton's headquar-
ters, where they were provided with

Filipinos to SIT down to lunch with him,
and conversed with them. He refused,
however, to speak authoritatively on

The bulletin issued by James Berry,
chief of climatic crop bureau at
Washington, for the week ending April
25, shows crop conditions in the Mid
die West to be unfavoroble. The re-
port says:
Westward of the Mississippi corn
planting is now In progress as far
north as southern Nebraska. and east
ward of the Mississippi planting has
begun in the southern portions of
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and in
West Virginia and Maryland. Wet
weather has retarded planting in Mis-
souri,, but rapid progress has been
made in Tennessee, Virginia and
North Carolina. In the east Gulf
states corn has generally made good
growth, but cut worms are causing
damage in Mississippi and Georgia.
In Texas the crop is generally we'll
cultivated and growing fairly we'll, but
needs warm sunshine.
Continued improvement is generally
reported in the condition of winter
wheat: much of the crop however, has
been winter.killed, especially in south.
ern Iowa. and over the northern por-
tions of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
northwestern Ohio. Except in south
ern California and in the upper San
Joaquin valley, the outlook for wheat
in the Pacific coast states continues
promising, an improved condition be-
ing reported from Washington.
Spring wheat seeding is nearing
completion over the southern portion
of the spring wheat region, but has
been delayed by unfavorable soil con-
ditions over the northern portion.

Hughes is as yet unaccounted for. He
is 14-year-old boy who resided with
his father and brother in Lobster
precinct, in the south western corner

He was tracked to a swamp in the
mountains, but there all trace was lost.
Search in the noun ntains has been
fruitless. The disappearance and pro-
longed absence. with sudden loss of all
trace, has led to the belief in the
vicinity that the lad had either per-
ished from storms and cold, or that
he has fallen victim of foul play.
Some think the boy has gone to bis
