: 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. 4.
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 senators,
There appeared to be no division Of
sentiment on the main points involved
although the members were loath to ex-
press opinions Of a final character in the
midst Of their Investigations. As to the
Nicaragua route they reiterated what
the Walker commission has reported
that the waterway

from an engineering standpoint at about
the same range Of estimates heretofore
made, from $11S, 900, 900 to $40, 600, 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 ar
estimate Of it's cost. For the same rea
son the commissioners avoided commit
ting themselves as between the twt
routes. Their hearing showed that boil
routes were feasible as engineering pro
jects, but did not develop any specia
influence on the pending legislation.

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 moment the
gong changed ont 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-
inary sparring Corbett showed to Won
derful advantage. He was quick on his
feet and darted in and out with confus-
ing speed: j.
Jehries kept going in, however, and
the pace Of the champion was fast, and
there was a yell Of satisfaction from the
spectators when the. gong ended the
round. Jeffries kept up his rushing,
but Oorbett slipped away from him.
lJefries would try his left in a swing,
but Oorbett was almost invariably away.
It made a superb exhibition and there
were cries Of approval that at times
broadened. into cheers. Oorbett was
outboxing his man and outpointing 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. Jefferies fought
In his crouching attitude, which proved

and in tho clinches threw q little Of his

strength Of the champion began to tell.
Jeffries was grim and resolute and kept
at his man steadily. He knew TINT at
every stage OF the game he had been
outpointsd and his only chance was to
rush in and end it. By tho 18th round
1e6ries, maddened by the danger Of
marring his reputation, began series
Of desperate rushes in which he mixed
IL dercsly with Corbett. Corbett, al.
though his blows lacked force, was still
speedy on his feet. He contented HIM
self with avoiding punishment. At the
10th 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.
The end came with the suddenness Of
q shock. The men had had two aeroe
kallies, followed each time by long
range sparring, aud were in good shape.
They were fighting hard when Corbett
dropped. It needed no count to tell
!. that Oorbett's hopes for the champion
ship were again dashed. The excited
spectators jumped to their feet andgave
vent to cat calls. The confusion, was
but momentary, however, and in q

Some mothers may shrink from
stating the number of children they
have had aud the number who are

those questions, the country will
learn whether the native American
