4 WASHINGTON, May lathe entire
membership Of the interoceanio canal
commission appeared before the senate
committee in charge Of the Hepburn
bill. Great interest was manifested In
the meeting as it was hoped that the
commission would be able to aid the
committee materially in determining
whether it was desirable to proceed at
once with the legislation on this subject
or defer action until the next session of
congress. zy ~ /, :.
All Of the members of the commits
sion were given an opportunity to ex.
press their views and were questioned
at considerable length by the senator's,
There appeared to be no division Of
sentiment on the main points involved:
although the members were loath to ex.y
press opinions Of final character in the
midst Of their Investigations. As to the
Nicaragua route they reiterated what
the Walker commission has reported
that the waterway ,=. -

the same range of estimates heretofore
made, from $11s, DOC, 900 to $40, 000, 900.
Since the estimates were made, how.
ever, the commission has determined
upon larger locks, and this may increase
the figure somewhat. ,,'
Concerning the Panama route the
members Of the commission expressed
hesitancy about giving opinions as they
have not the same amount Of informa.
ton as on the other. In general way,
however, they seemed to agree that
there was no obstacle to building the
canal SO far as engineering considera-
tions were. involved. But they were
not prepared at this time to give an
estimate of it's cost. For the same rea-
son the commissioners avoided commit
ting themselves as between the two
routes. Their hearing showed that both
routes were feasible as engineering pro-
jects, but did not develop any special
influence on the pending legislation.

JANIS j. JEFFRIEs

s1tilss victor and ait for the nquished
81 this cleverest 81 ring battles. s4
E Je1tries must be awarded the laurels
Of victory, yet his opponent is entitled
to ID honor for his most wonderful
light. That feature of the contest
stands out in relief as the most striking
one Of the battle.
90 Were Late in Starting.
The fight was scheduled for 9:45, but
tho men were nearly an hour Late in
getting into the ring, and after the pre-.
uminaries We're settled the gloves were
quickly slipped on and in a moment the
gong changed out the beginning Of the.
bout. :, ..,'.'
AS the men sprang forward the spec
tators were stilled to silence that was
only broken by the Gathering Of the
telegraph instruments. In the prelim.
tnary sparring Corbett showed to won
derful advantage. He was quick on his
feet and darted in and out with confus-
ing speed: l..
Jeffries kept going in, however, and
the pace Of the champion: was fast, and
there was q yell Of satisfaction from the
spectators when the, gong ended the
round. Jeffries kept up his rushing,
but Corbett slipped away from him.
lJehries would try his left in a swing,
but Oorbett was almost invariably away.
It made superb exhibition and there
were cries Of approval that at times
broadened. into 1cha9rs. Oorbett was
outboxing his max. and outpointng him
with blows to the body and face. There
was no chance for both, for while Cor
bett was outpointing Jehries, the lat
ter had the. strength. Jeferies fought
in his orouching attitude, which proved
20 hard to solve to Htzdmmons. +
- Jehries then began touse his strength
and in tho clinohes threw q little Of his
strength on to his opponent. Corbett
&.sE@ showed Astonishing Activity
against him and, it was long before the
strength Of the champion began to tell.
Jeftries was grim and resolute and kept
4 at his man steadily. He knew thnt at
every stage OF the game he had been
outpointsd and his only chance was to
rush in and end it. BY tho Itch round
Hs6ries, maddened by the danger Of
marring his reputation, began series
Of desperate rushes in which he mixed
II Aercely with Corbett. Oorbett, al.
though his blows lacked force, was still
speedy on his feet. He contented' him
self with avoiding punishment. At the
Goth round it looked as il Corbett would
stay the limit, and popular judgment
awarded him victory. He had, up to
that time, not received any serious
punishment. His defense was still per-
> feet and he was smiling and confident.
Il The end came with the suddenness Of
q shock. i, The men had had two f1eros
kallies, followed each time by long
range sparring, and were in good shape.
They were fighting hard when Corbett
dropped. 1t, needed no count to tell
that Corbett's hopes for the champion.
ship were again dashed. The excited
spectators jumped to their feet and gave
vent to cat calls. The confusion, was
but momentary, however, and in q
silence that was most remarkable, the
nsllen 1shter Was carried to his ooense.
