MORGAN HAS NEW REPORT.
It Contains a Special Statement bl
 Emory R. Johnson.

Washington January 4.-Senator Morgan today submitted another report on the Nicaragua canal It contains special statement of Prof. Emory R. Johnson, member of the isthmian committee, of the traffic resources of the canal and it's ef- feet upon the commercial interests of the United States. MT. Morgan says the state ment proves "conolusively that as an in vestment the Nicaragua canal will earn a highly remunerative profit on cost, even of $200,500, 0,000, which is the extreme esti- mate of cost presented by the isthmian canal commission"
 Professor Johnson make a number of statistical estimates For the year ending June 30, 1S99 he says that 3,426,752 cargo tons of United States commerce would have used the canal and 3,346,37 tons for South, Central and British America, and 5736,4 ,456 European tonnage. The commission esti- mates that seven and one-half million tons of traffic will be available for the nal in 1914; after the canal has been open ed the traffic will increase to Il, 900 tons in 1924. A dollar ton toll is estimated as most feasible. The report says the effect of the canal on transcontinental railways will compel reduction in rates, which will be offset by the larger local traffic.

THRILLING ESCAPE
Brought to Light in Coroner's lnvesti'
 gation-One on the Coroner.

The thrilling escape from death of Ed Harrison, a negro, was brought to light yesterday during an investigation be Coro- her Paris of what was thought to be a deep-seated mystery.
 Early yesterday morning persons passing in the vicinity of the foot-log over Village creek, just above the county bridge on the Pratt City road, noticed a pair of mules and a wagon in the creek, and supposing that the driver had been drowned with the team, the coroner was summoned.
 During the investigation it was stated that the team belonged to John Goodwin, a one- armed negro, who sent for. The negro stated that the team his and that the mules had been drowned on Saturday when Ed Harrison, the driver, attempted to ford the creek which was very high from the rains of the day before.
 The team was caught in the current and carried down stream about two hundred and fifty yards finally lodging against the foot logs where the negro succeeded in climbing out of the raging waters.
 Goodwin stated that the fact had been reported to him by Harrison, but that they had said nothing about it for fear that Harrison had violated the law in driving into the stream.
 The coroner says that he has investigated many kinds of deaths, but that this is the first time that he has made inquiry con- corning the death of a four-legged animal.
