nection with the Nicaragua route. Mr..
Schlect spent some time In studying the

OF the proposed routes The commission
studied both Of them carefully, and in
their report will inpartially consider the
merits Of each OF them. Both OF the
routes have many advantages. Should
the Panama route be chosen. two years
work will be saved Most of the obstacles
In the way of building the canals can be
overcome by engineering skill.
II do not believe that the Panama peo-
pie will finish the canal In years. Its es-
timated cost is 500, 900 while the COM
