The fact that the United States Sen
ate is safely Republican is no valid
reason why William Jennings Bryan
should be elected president. The peo-
pie do not want him and his wildcat
political theories to find lodgment in
the White House. His administration
would discredit our nation at home
and abroad, and a dozen Republican
United States Senates could not pre-
vent it.

ANOTHER PROPOSAL REIEcIED

The Cabinet yesterday decided to re-
iect the latest appeal from Lii Hung
Chang for a cessation of hostilities.
The reply will be communicated at
once TO the Chinese Government with
a statement OF the reasons for the ac-
tion of this government. The rejection
is based on the noncompliance of the
Chinese Government with the specific
provisions of the declaration of the
United States under date of August II.

has been appointed to the general
staff of the China expeditionary corps

The French Foreign Office has re-
ceived from Ii Hung Chang a request
similar to the one addressed to the

the appointment of NJ. Pichon, the
French minister at Pekin, or another
person to represent France at the peace
negotiations. 1t is asid that all the

FAVOR NICARAGUA ROUTE.
Esthmisn Canal Commisslon Gives 20 Con-
grsss the Result Of It's Iuvesttgs.
ton for the Great waterway.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The report OF
the Isthmian Canal commission, sub
mitted by the president TO congress,
gives as the unanimous conclusion OF
that body that "the most practicable
and feasible route for an isthmian
cnnal, under the control, management
and ownership of the United States,
Is that known 40 the Nicaragua route"
The commission estimates the cost
Of this route ut $200,540,000. This es-
innate is much In excess of any here
toforc made, and Is due to increased
dimensions and other features not
heretofore considered. The commits
sion also estimates the cost of n Gu
nal by the Panama route ut s142,342,-
$40, according to one route, or $780,
37s,a5s according to another route. As
between the Nicaragua and Panama
routes the commission sums up num-
Der of advantages favorable to the
former. 1t states also that under the
concessions given by the Colombian
government to the Panama Cana COM
pany, that government is not free to
grant the necessary rights to the
United States except upon conditions
made by the company.
The size of locks Is 740 feet In
length, 81 feet in width, in the clear.
with depth of IS feet. Taking up
the. Nicaragua route In detail, the
commission says that the route adopt
ed follows essentially the lines laid
down by the Nicaragua canal COM
mission in its report of 1s97-1so0. It
begins near Grey town on the Atlantic
side, follows the San Juan river, enters
lake Nicaragua and terminates Mt
Brito, on the Pacific side. The dis
lance from ocean to ocean Is about
1856 miles. Plans are given for the
great harbors required Mt Greytown
and Brito. The most difficult engi'
neering work is the dam across the
San Juan river to regulate the water
Of the lake. The time required to
build the canal hinges almost entirely
on the time required for the construc-
ton of this dam. The commission
says eight vars would probably be a
reasonable estimate for the building.
At least two years will be consumed
in preparatory work and opening q
harbor ut Greytown.

Ing Punishment and Indemnity.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The state de-
partment has been informed that the
foreign ministers Mt Pekin yesterday
reached an agreement which was sub
mitted TO the home Offices. Secretary
Hay cabled Mr.. Conger authorization
to sign the agreement on behalf of the
United States. 1t is known that In
the two important issues that were
still open, namely, those relating to
punishment and indemnity, the view
of the United States government has
prevailed. AS to punishments, they
IRE to be the severest that can be in
flicted by the Chinese government.
As to the indemnity, the Chinese gov
eminent is to formally admit its lia-
bility and then the matter is to be
left for future negotiation. 1t was
understood that on the other points
the French proposition has formed the
basis of the agreement.
