THE PANAMA ROUTE PREFERRED.

tn the Editor OF The Tribune
Str. Those of Us old who are familiar with
bo+b o4 the isthmian canal routes in contempla-
ton through having crossed and recrossed them
r,ao1 +,r,as both before and after they were used
as means of transit for the great Californian erni-
g-.+ion naturally have followed with keenest in
~a-es+ the res,Ilts of surveys and schemes for
construction that have been exploited and although
~ man we are impatient for the initiation OF the
eraar scheme over whatever route Congress may
dAcide still IL would TO highly inJudicious,
not TO say insulting. TO the members or the Com
mission appointed by Congress to investigate the
several routes to come any decision in advance
of their report Nor. indeed, understand
the cause of the insistence of Senator Morgan 70
force an opinion in of the Nicaraguan transit
In advance such report or of his manifest irri-
tation AT Admiral Walker because Of his refusal
tn anticipate the decision OF his colleagues.
The construction Of International canal is too
grand 100 important enterprise TO be entered
into without the fullest and most Intelligent scen-
tifc and expert information obtainable; nor
conceive why the delay OF few months pending
the receipt OF such knowledge should be objected
To nv Senator Morgan, unless, indeed ne feels
WINGED the report Will be antagonlsrlc 10 his
own pet scheme, which is certainly not formulated
upon his knowledge or personal experience.
THE preferences of the old Central American
traders which, while not based upon scientific con-
cusions, entirely practical, are unanimous, so
the Panama route being the most practical. the
shortest and least expensive. having the enormous
facility of a railroad by which to transport their
excavations ana especially as having magnificent
harbors at either terminal OF which very
manifest advantages available over the line OF
the Nicaraguan isthmus- Hence perhaps the trrt-
erence of Senator Hanna for the Panama route.
