Report Of mn,ission Sent to Com
HreAs-NicnraEun Rnute EnHnrea

Report Of Com lission Sent to Con-
wress-Nicnrakun Route Favored.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The report
sent to congress favors the Nicaragua
route and makes an estimate of $780,
1884, ,0s2 as the total cost OF the con-
struction Of the canal through Mica
ragua. The estimated cost of the Pan
ANA route Is $144, ,233,35S; but. the re.
port says, It would cost 500, 141 900 to
obtain the Panama concession. The
commission value the work done at
$4O.0C0.COO.
The report says the Panama route is
feasi u rs sea level canal, while the
Nicaragua route must be by locks, but
Lake Nicaragua will furnish an mex
haustiblc supply Of water for the ca
nal. The Nicaragua route has no nat
ural harbors at either end but salts
factory 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 larbOr on the Atlantic side.
With adequate force and plant the
commission estimates that the Nicara,,
qua canal can be completed in six
years, exclusive of two years for prep
aration. Ten years Is estimated to
complete the Panama canal
The total length of the Nicaragua Ca
nal is 1896 miles and the Panama
route 1900 miles.
The estimated cost Of operating and
maintaining the Nicaragua canal an
nually is $l.35O.0O0 greater than that Of
the Panama canal.
The estimated time for a deep draft
vessel to pass througlsJhe Panama Gu.
nal IL twelve hours and through Mica
ragua canal thirty three hours.
The report concludes as follows:
after considering all the facts de-
veloped by the Investigations made by
the commission the actual situation
as 1t now stands, and having In view
the terms offered by the new Panama
Canal company, this commission is of
opinion that the most practicable and
feasible route for an lsthlnian canal,
to be under the control. management
and ownership of the United states, Is
that known as the Nicaragua route"

Tatoosh went out and picked up the
Nelson, passing hawser. The ting
started offshorc with the ship owing to
the gale. 1t was the intention of Cap

with the ship during the night. The
gale that ragged all night was too Sc
we're for the vessel to withstand, and
she broke from the tug and then turned
turtle, sinking at once.
In the darkness it was impossible for
the tug to render assistance to the
members of the crew, and all perished.
The Nelson carried crew of twenty
eight men all told. She was an old
wooden vessel.

pilot, was to have been placed aboard
the ship. but the weather was too
rough to permit it. Captain Woods
states that the Nelson went over be-
tween 10 and II o'clock at night dur
ing the height of the gale.

Der and was consigned to Cape Town,

Mexican silver Dcprecintes,

CITY OF MENlCO, Dec. 5. - The
rapid rise in exchange as shown by the
gold premium is the theme of discus
sion in financial and business circles.
Some bankers regard the depression in
silver as temporary hnd hope for
speedy reaction. Others less sanguine
point to the fact that for eighteen
years there has been, on the whole,
a constant downward tendency and the
expression Of the belief that eventual
ly Mexico will have to come to gold
basis is common. New York exchange
stands at 1.32 premium. and this seri-
ously affects importers, and several

pending II more settled state of the eX-
change.
