A CANAL STEAL.

The building of the Nicaragua Canal
has always seemed to us a scheme got
ten up by spectators, persons who
who wanted to get their arms well
4, into the public crib. That canal can
not be built with 5000, 1000, 900, the
present estimate, that will in reality
bs only starter in the vast amount to
! be thrown away on that doubtful en-
tsrprise. As paying institution we
have the gravest doubts for the scheme,
as public necessity We never have
been agreed, as feasible proposition
we are not satisfied, and that this route
lathe proper one we think entirely a
mistake.
II a canal must be built why not
take the Panama route? That is
more than one half finished and will
ultimately be completed. 1t is feasi-
BILE and can be made without locks. It
il less costly than the Nicaraguan
and seemingly in every way preferable.
Then comes the great questions Of
business and safety.
II We build the Panama canal We
will have no fear of rival, because no
nation will ever build the other com
peting canal.
If we build the Nicaragua canal the
/, Panama canal will be completed. es-
pecially If the Nicaragua canal pays.
Il We will have no control over the
Panama. and what good pray can our
guarding the one do when the other IL
open and possibly hostile?
As it Is doubtful whether such a
= canal will pay at all, why invite com
petition by leaving the partly built
Panama canal As a menace to the
Nicaraguan property? In other words
Z If q bad investment is to be saddled or
: us why make it more worthless by
dividing it's carrying capacity or In
viting competition. If we have any
fears that the Isthmian canal might
ever be menace to our country VIII!
open up two instead of one. If boil
canals are built we must guard both
and one canal could do all that boil
can do.
When these things are considered i
becomes hard to divest ones mind o
the thought that there is steal Of vas
dimensions hidden under the cana
bill. If the Panama canal alone !
built it might pay. Two cannot. l
is easier for the United States to guar
one canal than two, and prudence
would dictate that no canal ought t.
be built which the United States doe
not really control.

the Dixie, which took out the first lot

Bad Accident to the Steamer Newport
in Alaskan Waters.

Seattle, Wash, April 2-The steamer
Newport, Captain Chester, en- route
from this city to Unalaslza, ran or a
reef in Tongass Narrows March rs, sus-
tanning injuries to her hull that will
necessitate the return of the vessel to
Seattle for repairs. When the City of
Seattle, whose officers brought the news
of her disaster, left Juneau, she was then
in that port.
Beyond a copy of formal protest
WHICH the Viewpoints master forwarded
to Austin Claiborne, agent for the Pa
ciic Whaling company, who owns and
operates the Newport, only meagre de-
tails of the accident are obtainable. In
the protest Captain Chester states that
his vessel ran on a hidden and unchar-
tered reef in Tongass Narrows; that she
got off without assistance and made her
way to Juneau.
Soon after striking, according to the
story heard by the SeaItle's officers,
the Newport sprang a slight leak She
made her way to Douglas island, where
she was beached and her hull exam
ined. Her injuries, it appeared, were
not of a serious character, for the vessel
was taken to Juneau.
