pany be able and willing To sell, there is
reason TO believe that the price would not
be such as would make the total cost to
the United States less than that of the
Nicaragua Canal.
II. The Panama Canal, after compile
ton, would be shorter. have fewer locks
and less curvature than the Nicaragua
Canal. The measure Of these advantages
IS the time required for a vessel to pass
through, which is estimated for an aver
age snip at twelve hours for Panama and
thiTty-thTee hours for Nicaragua.
t'On the other hand, the distance from
San Francisco to New York is 81 miles,
to New Orleans 5T9 miles, and to Liver
pool $50 miles greater via Panama than
via Nicaragua. The time required TO pass
over these distances being greater than
the difference in the time OF L ansit
the canals the Nicaragua line, after COM
pletion, would be somewhat the more ad-
vantageous Of the two to the United
States, Notwithstanding the greater cost
of maintaining the longer canal
III. The Government of Colombia in
which lies the Panama Canal has granted
an exclusive concession, which still has
many years to run. 1t is not free to grant
the necessary rights to the United States,
except upon condition that an agreement
be reached with the New Panama Canal
Company. The Commission believes that
such agreement is impracticakle- So far
as can be ascertained, the company is not
willing to sell its franchise, but it will
allow the United States to become the
owner of part of its stock. The Commits
sion considers such an agreement mad
missibie.
"'The Governments of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, on the other hand, are IN
tTammeled by concessions and are free TO
grant to the United States such privileges
as may be mutually agreed upon.
In view OF all the facts, and particu-
larly in view of all the difficulties of OBJ
tanning the necessary rights, privileges,
and franchises On the Panama route, and
assuming that Nicara qua and Costa Rica
recognize the value of the canal to them
selves and are prepared to grant conces-
si0ns on terms which are reasonable and
acceptable TO the United States, the Com
mission is of the opinion that the most
practicable and feasible route for an 18TH
us1an canal 10 be under the control, man
agement, and ownership of the United
States is that known as the Nicaragua
route"

SUITS AGAINST STATES.
Government to Press Claims in the
Supreme Court

Washington, May 11.-Sollcitor General
Richards, on the opening of the Supreme
Court next Monday will take initiatory
steps in actions against the states of
North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, and
South Carolina to recover the following
sums alleged to be due the United States
from those states, respectively: $l46 l4o;
$2o9,9S5; S5i22O. and $24s,75O.
These actions are instituted by the at
torney general at the request of the Sec
retary of the Treasury in execution Of the
requirement. of the fourth section of the
act of Congress approved March Sc 1892
entitled IAN act to amend an act to reim-
burse the governors of the states and
territories for expenses incurred by them
in aiding the United States to raise and
organize and supply and equip the volun-
teer army of the United States in the eX-
isting war with SPAIN" and authorizing
the bringing Of suits TO collect claims
against such states as are indebted to the
government.
The stocks and bonds which form the
foundation of these proceedings, are those
which were originally held by the Secre-
tary of the Interior as trustee for the
benefit of certain Indian tribes, COM
monty known as the Indian trust fund"
the purchase whereof had been author
ICED by various acts of Congress under
various treaties had with various Indian
tribes. These stocks and bonds not hav-
ing been paid at the respective dates of
their maturity, and the interest thereon
not having been paid, the United States
redeemed the same by paying to the In
dian tribes the value thereof and subro-
gated itself to the rights of the Indians,
and by the Indian appropriation act of
Aug. 10, 1894, these bonds become the alb
solute property of the United States.
It is to enforce the payment of princi-
pal and interest due upon these stocks
and bonds that these suits have been in
stituted in the original jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court of the United States, that
being under the constitution of the Unit
ed States the only forum in which the
federal government can sue a state.

and for Naval Station.
Washington, May 11.-Charleston was
represented here to-day by strong dele
cation of leading citizens who went before
the Committee on Appropriations in the in-
terest of the proposed South Carolina In
terstate and West Indian Exposition.
Col. Hemphill, editor of the News and
Courier, was the chief spokesman for his
city. Mr.. Francis K. Carey of Baltimore,
representing a number of the moneyed in
stitutions interested in Charleston and the
South, made a strong argument In favor
of the government building and exhibit
asked for in the Elliott bill. and impressed
the committee with the value OF the enter
prise TO the entire South.
The bill asks for an appropriation OF
$3.50, 600, $75000 of which is to go into gov
ernment building. the rest to go for the
exhibit There is the usual proviso that the
exposition company must get as much
from private subscriptions and from the
municipality and state-that is total Of
another $250O00
The members of the Charleston delega-
ton told the committee that the work of
securing this home subscription is well In
hand

the naval station from Port Royal to
Charleston. This delegation consists of

this being done.
