fore beginning the duel locked the
door. Soon after they got at each
other the lamp was extinguished and
the fight was continued in the dark
for IS minutes
The tenement in which Harris
roomed contained hundreds of ne
groes. who heard the awful uproar
and the infuriated cries and screams
Of the fighters, but none dared break
Ia until both men were heard to fall
and only groans could be heard. Then
the police came and the door was
broken in. The furniture was wrecked,
and ON the floor lay Harris, uncon-
scious and with a dirk sticking in his
breast His face, body and clothes
were slashed with cuts. Anthony had
as many cuts, but none so serious as
the one which laid Harris low. Harris
is believed to be fatally wounded. An
thony was locked up.

eANAL TREATY Anp asPoAY
The Commission FsVors the Nicaragua
Route-EstImate Of Cost

Houte-Eotimote OF Cost
Washington, Dec. 5.--The president
sent to the senate yesterday the new
Hay-Pauncefote treaty for an isthmian
canal The report Of the isthmian
canal commission was also sent to
congress. The commission favors the
Nicaragua route. and makes an esti-
mate Of S1S9, S64 ,O62 as the total cost
Of construction Of the canal through
Nicaragua. The estimated cost OF the
Panama route is s144, 2SS, 1853, but. the
report says, it would cost S109, 141 900
TO obtain the Panama concession. The
commission values the work done at
10000. 900.
The report says the Panama route is
feasible as sea-level canal, while
the Nicaragua route must be by locks,
but Lake Nicaragua will furnish an
inexhaustible supply of water for the
canal The Nicaragua route has not
natural harbors at either end, but sat
isfactory harbors may be constructed.
Harbors already exist at each end of
the Panama route. but considerable
work must be done at the entrance OF
the harbof on the Atlantic side.
