The ISTHMIAN CANAL
Report of the Committee on the Pro.
posed lsthmian Canal is Ready
fo1 Congress.
Committee Finds Itself unable to Rec
ommend Which Route Should
Be Taken.
Appears To Be Little Choice Between
the Nicarauga and Panama
Routes.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The report of
the Isthmus committee has been COM
pleted and is now in the hands of the
president. 1t will be sent to congress
with the annual message. The COM
mittee finds that both the Nicaragua
and Panama routes are equally feas-
ible. The committee, therefore, finds
itself unable to make any recommend
atoms as to the route to be selected.
It has made a neutral report setting
forth impartially the advantages and
disadvantages of each route, leaving
congress to make the choice. It will
be a disappointment to most people
that the committee find it to be i'm
possible for the states to secure abso-
lutte ownership and control of either
Of the Nicaragua or Panama routes.
The constitution of the states of Mica
ragua and Costa Rico absolutely pro-
hibit the alienation of any of their
territory. The plan most favored by
Nicaragua and Costa Rica is to perfect
a Encouragement by which a triple SOW
ereignty should be established.

A HOME WEDDING.
Pretty Home Wedding Solemnized ii
the Presence of Friends in the
City Saturday Night.
Miss Edythe Skeels and MI. James w
Foley of the Tribune are Made
Man and Wife.

A very pretty home wedding solemn
lied in the city Saturday night was
that OF Miss Edythe d. Skeels. the
charming and accomplished daughter
of NJ. P. Skeels, Esq, to MIR. James W.
Foley, jr.. of the Tribune. The cere-
mony took place at the residence of
the father of the bride at 7:3O O'Clock,
and was witnessed by relatives and a
few intimate friends.
The comfortable home was taste
fully decorated with yellow chrysan-
themums, red and white carnations and
smllaX. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. A.. A. Joss of st. Georges
church, it being the beautiful and i'm
pressive ritual service of the Episco-
pal church.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in white chiffon over white silk, with
trimming of lace. She carried a bou-
quot of ferns and Roman hyacinths.
The bridal couple stood beneath an
archway, %overhung with smilax, where
their trotn was plighted and they were
pronounced man and wife.
After receiving the congratulations
and good wishes Of the assembled COM
pany, a dainty luncheon was served,
the favors being red and white carna-
tions. The wedding presents were
elegant and costly and bespeak the
high esteem in which the couple is
held by the friends thus remembering
them.
Both bride and groom are well
known residents of the city and a num-
Der of friends will extend them the
sincerest good wishes for a long and
happy life.
Those present at the ceremony were:

most profound mental equipment, re-
calling to memory the days of Web

ended just as his fellow countrymen

PUBLIC MEETING.

DIR. BENTLEY SUGGESTS A PUB
Lie MEETING TO PAY TRIBUTE
TO SENATOR DAVIS.
Editor Tribune: Senator Davis of
Minnesota has fought his last battle.
An %appreciative nation bows it's head
in sincere sorrow. The cultured gen
tleman, the gifted lawyer, the pro-
found statesman, the Aue friend and
grand generous man, has laid aside
his mortal armor; his pulseless hands
can no longer do the bidding of a
wonderfully equipped mentality. His
death is a nations loss. His home
was not confined to St. Paul where he
had developed from a brainy young
lawyer to one of the foremost men in
this government but it "a established
by his genius in the hearts Of his ad-
miring countrymen. He did not be-
long to any city; to any state; to any
party; but to the entire people of his
native land. He was the peer Of any
man in public life, a courageous pat

over the pay of the men employed in
the mines, but this was finally settled
The men who were employed in the
office of the receiver and the receiver
himself, however, received nothing at
that time.
Detectives and eavesdroppers were
employed during the summer, and fin
ally q man was secured and the false
affidavit made.
Attorney Knight signed the atii-
davit and the prosecuting attorney
brought him before Judge Moves, who
ordered him to produce it in two hours,
which he agreed to do. He failed to
appear, however, and an order was
issued for his arrest, but he succeeded
in getting out Of the country.
The Pioneer and Wild Goose Min
ing companies united first in their
efforts to break down the court by
bribery, secondly by intimidation,
thirdly by pcrjured testimony"

right to locate mining claims within
the territory of the U. S. If they
have not, then the title of McKenzie's
company to many of the claims in the
Nome region is good and vice versa.
The court will probably render an
early decision in the case.
The feeling prevails in Washington
that the Alaskan representatives of
the Lane syndicate, who at first tried
to use" Judge Noyes, resolved upon
his destruction as soon as it was dis
covered that he was not approach
able The first stories which reached
this country were brought here by a
man named Braslan, one of the agents
for the syndicate. Braslan told the
syndicatc's side of the story, and made
both Noyes and Mckenzie to be rogues
of the first water. 1t vas a long time
before the other side OF the case could
be got hold of, but when it was every
thing that Braslan had said was de-
MED and the denials were backed up
by %aftidavits. Braslan used to live in
Minneapolis, and during last summer
visited that city and North Dakota,
where he tried to secure something
connected with the past lives of Noyes
and Mckenzie, or both, that would
make more plausible the stories he
was telling. While he was going
through Minnesota and North Dakota
he old the Lane side of the contro-
versy and tried to prejudice the pub
lie mind against Mckenzie and Noyes.
He gave out his original interviews at
Seattle when he landed there ON his
way from Nome.
Touching once more the question Of
Jurisdiction OF the San Francisco
court, it would be said that that court
is what is known in law as a '%'consti-
t%utional COURT" having been estab-
lished by authority of the constitution
Of the United States while the Alaska
federal court is what is known as a
"le3islative' court, having been estab-
lishcd by act Of congress without con-
stitutional interference. This being
the case, the point is made here by
good attorneys that the San Francisco
court has no jurisdiction over the
Alaskan court the acts Of the latter
being appcalable only to the supreme
court Of the United States. Should
this be the findings Of the supreme
court, there may be 4 lot of new COM
piications in the way OF damage suits.
And should the proposed senatorial
Investigation show everything in con-
nection with the receivcrship and
with Judge Noyes' other official acts
to have been regular, there may be a
big bunch of suits for SANDER against
the San Francisco Examiner, brought
not only by Mckenzie and Noyes, but
by the United States senators who
have been so EraZenly accused Of COM
p!icity with vac Judge and the receiver
in a scheme OF fraud.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES WILL CONSIDER THE
ALASKA CLAIMS CASE THIS
WEEK.
The Alaska mining claims case, in
which Alexander Mckenzie is inter-
ested as receiver, and the Pioneer Min
ing company, with G. D. Lane of San
Francisco at it's head, is the head of
the opposition to Mckenzie, will be
considered by the supreme court of the
United States at Washington this
week. . The point in controversy and
which is to be settled is whether the
circuit court at San Francisco had
authority to remove Mckenzie over
the head of Judge Moves. The real
contention is whether aliens have a

,ENNIAL REPORT TO THE Gov
ERNOR-WORk BEING DONE.
The penitentiary trustees met Sat-
urday and passed upon their report to
the governor. The report of the war;
den and trustees shows a greater
amount of work accomplished and ad~
ditions made to the permanent build
ings at the pen than in any like period
since the institution was established.
The entire Irvine plant has been
erected and installed since the last
meeting of the legislature, and in ad-
dition warehouses have been built and
a good beginning made upon the yard
wall, which has been raised along the
west and part of the south side of the
prison grounds. The stone founda-
ton has also been laid for a consider
able additional distance and the wall
is as we'll an ornament as a necessary
protection against the escape of con-
victs. Another year will see the wall

Foundations are being laid for a
large new Irvine warehouse to be
erected as O o as spring opens. This
will be necessary for the storage of
the product of the Irvine plant.
The Irvine plant has been shut down
for several months but work will be
resumed about the middle of this
month. This will give an opportun-
ity for members of the legislature to
see what is being done at the institu-
ton in the way of manufacturing.
Winter preparations have been made
about the plant, the pipes wrapped,
and the interior of the factory build
ings painted and improved in appear
ance.
Another considerable Improvement
that has been made is in the exterior
of the main prison building which has
been reprinted, worn bricks replaced
and the entire aspect improved and
made Whole-at it were.
The yard wall on the west side of
the institution has been so begun as
to leave room for the erection of an
addition to the cell block, which will
be necessary in a few years. At pres
ent there are 122 %convicts in the pen
itentiary, the number having fallen
off somewhat but the winter terms of
court will increase this number again.

with the management of the institu-
ton, and a supplemental report will
