Washington. Dec. George S. Mar
rison. Il member of the Ithnlian canal
commission, submits minority report
fayoring the Panama route. He says
the estimates for the Nicaragua canal
don't make sufficient provisions for un-
known conditions aid contingencies.
Consideration. he says. has been
to accidental interruption OF
: by Nicaragua, which, he thinks,
lid not be so likely to occur at Pan
anna. He believes that better condi-
tions and terms can be arranged
through the acquisition of the PARMA
Canal company's rights than by any
negotiations with Nicaragua and Cos
ia Rico. The government, after secur-
ing these rights, he said, could negoti-
ate direct with Colombia for the right
to construct the canal. He closed by
saying:
'"The Panama route has advantages
over the Nicaragua route in cost OF
construction, in cost of operation and
In convenience when done, while Its
use is less likely to lead to local inter
national complications. If the United
States government is to build an 18th
milan canal the Panama route is the
best"

SEVEN DAYS IN SADDLE.
German Pr"p"-es 10 Ride from New

A German Pr.po-es Ride from New
York c .o.gn n That Time.
New YORK. Dec. 6.-Theodore Mol
kinten, once q crack hor5eman Of the
German army, will attempt to break
the worlds record for long distance
riding by travelling from New York to
Chicago in seven days without chang
ing horses.
Molkinten, WHO was for three years
q member of the First regiment of the
German raiding artillery. said:
The record of the world is now
held by a cavalryman in the German
army, who rode from Berlin to vi
emma in eight days and half. From
New York to Chicago, the distance
is greater, but 1 propose to make the
trip on one horse, and do 1t in seven
days.
According to the route Of the mail
trains, 1t is about 900 miles to Chi
cago. l may be able to take short
cuts and reduce that distance to about
S75 miles. which means l must travel
125 miles 4 day. The distance from
Berlin to Vienna on a straight line
is about 400 miles. but there are sew
eral mountain ranges to be crossed
and the route by horseback is much
longer. 1t would be difficult to say
just how many miles the German cav
alryman travelled in making his rec
ord, but it is safe to say he did not
travel over as much road as from
New York to Chicago. l have en-
gagged one of the gamest horses in
New York and propose to settle his
nettie. l will not leave his back UNI
til we turn up in Chicago, except for
the necessary time required for rest
ing and feeding"
