WORK OF THE COMMISSION.

The report Is a document Of about H.
600 words, almost as Tong as the presi-
dents message. Although the work of
tho commission is not yet completed
many OF the field parties still being ore
vet it.has been sufficiently advanced 10
make ii practicable To present this prel-
iminary report giving the essential find
ings.
A thorough investiga ton has been made
not only of the Nicaragua and Panama
routes, but OF other possible routes, the
commissions Excepting in mind the indus
trial, commercial and military value of
an inter-oceanic canal, and also the
rights. privileges and franchises neces-
sary to be secured for the construction
of canal under the control manage
ment and ownership of the United States.
In all 81 working parties were organ
lied and sent into the field making n
force of about 90 engineers and assist
ants, besides about 600 laborers, boatmen,
and other worlkmen employed in the va
rious countries, a total OF more than 500.
Meanwhile the members OF the commits
sion personally conducted various
branches of the work. One party went
10 Paris, where they examined the de-
tails of the Panama canal project now
being executed by the French company.
PRESENT CONDITIONS.
A detailed description is given Of the
trip over the several routes Along the Nj
caragua route. IL was found that the
short section Of partially constructed
canal is perhaps IN as good shape today
as IL was when the work was stopped.
The buildings, however, are all rotten
and the dredgers. boats. etc, are worth
less.

and other leading officials OF Nicaragua

for an |Sthmian Canal.
Report of the Canal Commission Trans
mitted to Congress by the President.
Cost Of the Enterprise.

Washington. Dec. 4-The report of the
Isthmian canal commission. submitted by
the president to congress today. gives
as the unanimous conclusion of that body
that "the most practical and feasible
route for an isthmisn canal, under the
control, management and ownership OF
the United States Is that known as the
Nicaragua route
The commission estimates the cost OF
this route at s2Oo.5l0.OOo This estimate
Is much in excess of any heretofore made
and Is duo to increased dimensions and
other features not heretofore considered
The commission also estimates the cost
of canal by the Panama route at s142,-
342,b19, according TO one route. or $780,
S1S,25s according 60 another route.
As between the Nicaragua and Panama
route the commission sums up a number
of advantages favorable TO the former.
IL states also that under the concessions
given by the Panama government to the
Panama Canal company that company is
not free 10 grant the necessary rights TO
the United States except upon conditions
made by the company.

English squadron lined up by the side of Deweys fleet, ready to assist the Americans in any emergency. This action went far toward bring ing the Germans to their senses, and Englands firm attitude for a second time put quietus on the
 other European powers. This act
 on the part of England should not
 be soon forgotten. Americans should not prove themselves in
 grates. England and the United
 States are both insisting upon an "open door" and pursuing the same
 policy in the Orient. Whatever
 progress is made in human eiviliZa- ton must be brought about by the
 Anglo-Saxon race. They should go hand ia hand together, for their destiny is the same. England is our customer and friend, and in
 Great Biitainas difficulties with oth- CT foreign nations, she should have
 the moral support of the United States. Politicians and denlagogues
 may delight to occupy then selves
 with twisting tEe lions tall, but
 Americans are neither fools nor ln- grates, and can be relied on in emergency to stand by their friends and allies.
