Washington, Dec. 4 The report
of the, -istbmisn canal commission,
subnissed By the p.esiden. to con-
aress today gives - the unanimous
concaasion of that body that "the
most aprseticable: snd fessib}e route
for aatiasbmiaD canal, under the con4
troll management aud ownersbip Of
the United States; is that known as
!be Nicarsgns route" The COM
mission estimates the cost of this
route at 5000, $4,000 This esti-
mate is much in excess of any here
tofore made, and is due to increased
dimensions and other features not
heretofore considered The COM
mission also estimates the cost of a
canal by the Panama route at $142,-
342.579 according to one route, or
$l56. 6.37S.25S according to another
route As between the Nicaragua
and Panama route the commission
sums up number Of advantages fa-
vorabie to the former It states also
that under the concession given by
the government of Colombia to the
Panama Canal company. that govern
mens is not free to grant the neces
ssry rights to the United States ex
ceps upon conditions made by the
company. Along the Nicaragua
route. it was found that the short Sec
tion of partially constructed canal is
perhaps in as good shape today as i.
ives when the work was stopped.
The buildings however are rotten
and the dredges, boats. etc are
worthless.

MORGAN ON THE CANAL

Washington, Dec 6-The senate
was in executive session for four
hours today. devoted to discussion
by Senator Morgan of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty for the abrogation
of the portion of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty which relates to the Nicaragua
canal
Discussing the question OF the for
tifcation of the canal Senator Morgan
argued strenuously against it. both
as inexpedient and unnecessary. he
admitted, however, that be had no
doubt that if the United States
should proceed with the construction
of the canal without first taking
steps to secure the neutrality of the
canal, Great Britain would be grievi-
ously offended, aud that he thought
it not impossible that the offense
would be considered sufficiently
grave to lead to hostilities between
the two countries.
The American people, however,
were not going to allow any obstacle,
no matter how serious, to stand in
the way. BE believed that the ad.
ministration that would undertake to
build the canal, knowing that to do
so meant war, would be eadorsed by
the people st large by q bigger
majority than that which Mckinley
received over Bryan in the last
election
Senator Morgan wss piled with
many questions
