SENATE RECEIVES REPORT OF :
ISTHMIAN CANAL COMMISSIm

Washington, Dec. 6.-The isthmian
canal report was transmitted to the
Senate by the President on Wednes-
day and several bills providing FOR the
construction Of the waterway, one OF
them by Mr.. Morgan Of Alabama, wto
has led the movement for the canal IN
the past, have been presented.
The report of the Isthmian Canal
Commission rs anticipated several
weeks ago favors the Nicaragua route
and makes an estimate OF $lSb,SS4,-
O62 as the total cost of construction or
the canal through Nicaragua. The es-
timated cost of the Panama route Is
S144, o33,35S. but. the report says, it
would cost $1O9. 141 600 to obtain the
Panama concession. The commission
values the work done Mt $40WO.OOO
The report says the Panama route Is
feasible as a sea level canal while the
Nicaragua route must be by locks, but
Lake Nicaragua will furnish an mex
haustible supply of water for the ca
| nal. The Nicaragua route has no nat
ural hnrbors at either end. but salts
factory harbors may be constructed.
| With adequate force and plant the COM
mission estimate that the Nicaragua
canal can be completed in six years.
exclusive of two years for preparation.
Ten years is estimated to complete the
Panama. The total length of the Me
aragua route is 1886 miles and the
Panama route 1900 miles. The estl-
mated cost OF operating and maintain
ing the Nicaragua canal annually Is
81, ,35O,OOO greater than that of the Pan
anna canal The estimated time for a
deep dranght vessel to pass through
the Panama canal is twelve hours and

BUTTER VS.. OLEOMARGARINE
AT LIVE STOCK CONVENTION

Chicago, Dec. 6.-The recommends
ton of the executive committee that
resolutions condemning the GrOut an
ti-oleo bill be adopted gave rise to Il
lengthy and spirited general debate in
the National Live Stock convention
today. Leonard Pearson of Pennsyl-
vania, speaking for the dairy inter
ests. who uphold the Grout bill, led
the debate with the plea that with
oleomnrgnrine selling under Its own
colors. butter could hold Its own.
You cattlemen,' said he, Insist
that colOring of Olcomargarine should
be allowed. yet you insist that the
wool interests should be protected
against shoddy masquerading as
wool"
Ex-Governor Packard of Iowa NOV
ed that the whole subject be deferred.
when Judge Cowan arose and said
that packers had as much right to
color ole0margarIne as dairymen have
to color butter. The discussion was
participated In by members OF the
Kansas. California. Missouri. Mich
igan and Iowa delegations. 1t was the
first general debate of the convention.
The resolution against the Grout bill
was adopted. but over n good-sized
minority.
Colonel Simpson. following the read
ing OF his regular paper, made brief
plea for ship subsidy.

requested that the anniversary of this

ed in the Louisiana purchase as a flag
day, believing such observance will be
most appropriate for the first cere.
monies in connection with the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition; and,

request should be made a custom
among those states and territories i'll
cluded In said purchase and duly OBJ
served by appropriate ceremonies.
Now, therefore, l, James b. Orman,
governor Of the state of Colorado, do
hereby proclaim and designate the
said Goth day OF December, A. ID. 1901,
the anniversary OF said purchase, as Il
flag day. and earnestly recommend to
all citizens that the flag Of the United
States be displayed on all public and
private buildings, school houses and
dwellings, and that the day be cele-
brated by public and commemorative
meetings.

cational institutions, arrange for such
