Washington May 16.-The Senate Committee
1nteroceanic Canals to-day, through its chairman,
Senator Morgan, presented its report on the Mica
ragua Canal bill The report includes the state
rnents of Admiral Walker and other members of
the Isthrnian Canal Commission and also the con-
clusions of the committee with reference to the
Nicaragua and Panama routes. The committee
takes strong stand against the Panama route. 1t
says that the Panama company is practically with
out assets. except those included in the Panama
Railroad. They cGy," continues the report. they
have assets that committee of experts has valued
at 100000 ,0e0. They make no offer or suggestion
to what they would take for it, The lowest sum
at which they estimate the cost of completing their
canal is s95. .000O00 So that in entering that
bine We would in the basis OF s1s5, 100000 for

is the highest estimate any engineer has placed

is in favor of Nicaragua"

the report to be made by these photographers is

Our engineers have to conclusion on the
points OF difficulty and have relegated the decision

determined by further experiments. When these

they have settled this vital point we put ourselves

decided what is best for their own interests, Con-
sress owes higher duty than this TO the Ameri-

On the general question Of the construction Of a
canal the committee takes the position that what
ever canal is constructed its ownership must be
american and that delay may be fatal to the sue

construction cannot possibly advance the settle

completion. The conclusion therefore, is that
Congress should provide means and authority for
constructing canal by the Nicaragua route and
