WILL TAKE TEN YEARS.
And $2oo,ooo,ooo to Construct the
Nicaragua Canal.

Washington, Dec. .5.-The report of
isthmian canal commission. submitted
by the president to congress, gives as
the unanimous conclusion of that body
that "the most practical and feasible
route of an isthmian canal, under the
control, management and ownership
of the United States, is that known az
the Nicaragua route"
The commission estimates the cost
of this route at $200,540,000. This
estimate is much in excess of any
heretofore made, and is due to in
creased dimensions and other features
not heretofore considered. The COM
mission also estimates the cost Of ca
nal by the Panama route at $142,342,-
579, according to one route, or 1885,
378, 258 according to another route.
AS between the Nicaragua and the
Panama route, the commission sums
up number of advantages favorable
to the former. 1t states also that I'M
der the concessions given by the gov
eminent of Colombia to the Panama
Canal company, that government is
not free to grant the necessary rights
to the United States except upon con
ditions made by the company. The
Panama company also asks an exhor-
bitant sum for it's concession and
property. 1t is estimated that at
least 10 years will be required to con-
struct a canal over the Nicaragua
route.
