Washington, Dec. 13.-The Sen
ate Committee on Isthmian Canals
to-day authorized a favorable re-
port upon Senator Morgan's bin,
providing for the acquisition from
Nicaragua aud Costa Rica of the
right of way via the Nicaragua
route. Senator Morgan later pre-
scented this report to the Senate,
accompanying the return of the
bill with a yoluminous report upon
the general subject of canal
across the isthmus. Action on the
bill providing for the construction
of the canal was deferred.
Senator Morgan's report covers
more than 500 pages of printed
matter, and deals with many of the
questions connected with the cons
truction of the canal, including a
thorough inquiry into the attitude
Of Great Britain upon the subject
and the different canal routes. He
also discusses the relationship of
the Panama Canal company to the
construction by the United States
Of a waterway across the Isthmus,
and while he makes reference to
a letter written by President Hutin
Of the Panama Company, to Sec
rotary of State Hay he does not
give the text of the communica-
ton. Mr.. Morgan says that the
letter to Secretary Hay was dated
November %, last, and that it was
written after Admiral Walker, as
President Of the Commission, had
closed his correspondence with M.
Hutin relating to the sale of the
Panama Canal.

Resident of Indiana Town Said to
Have Invented Method of Storing
Heat from Sun for Use.

L A@@0N~ .
Heat from Sun for Use.
1t is given out here that a local
resident of Richmond, Ind, has
made one of the greatest discov-
cries Of modern times. II is a
method of storing the heat rays Of
the sun. The theory is similar to
the making of ice, only the pro-
cess is reversed. The inventor,
who is a practical and scientific
man, has discovered a substance
which is abundant and cheaply
produced, which will absorb heat
rays and hold them until driven
out again. The process by which
the heat will be driven out and the
composition Of the blocks are still
secret. There has been one meet
ing Of capitalists at which prac-
tical demonstration of the process
is said to have been made, and all
present were fully satisfied that
the process is practical and that it
will revolutionize the present
methods of heating. IN. X. Tri-l
