The Nicaragua route, the report
says, is advantageous for COM
mere save that originating on the
west coast of South America. For the
gulf ports the advantage is two days.
and for most of the ports on the At

Nicaragua route is said to be better

says the United States should ac-
quire control of a strip of territory

The consent of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica must be obtained to construct
the canal, but the report says this
can easily be secured. The conces-

c|essions can not be granted the Unit

The report concludes as follows:
"After considering all the facts de-
veloped by the Investigations made
by the commission, the actual situa-
ton as it now stands, and having
in view the terms offered by the new
Panama Canal Co.. this commission is
of the opinion hat the most prac-
teal and feasible route for an
isthmian canal, to be under control,
management and ownership of the
United States, is that known as the
Nicaragua route"

of the bill is as follows:

The second section directs the spe-
cial board of inquiry authorized by
the immigration laws to make dill.
gent investigation concerning the an.
~tecedents of any alien seeking admis.

thorizing the board to even go to the
extent of examining the person of

ISIRN|AN CANAL REPORT.
Abstract of the Report of the 18TH
milan Canal Commission Sub
mitted to Congress.
NlCARAGUAN ROUTE THE FAVORED ONE,
Ii is the Longer Route and Will In
vOlNe More Construction Work.
Hut the Commission Decides Up
on 1t From sanitary and other
Reasons.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Following is
an abstract of the report of the
lsthmian canal commission, which
was sent to congress: The commits
sion, as anticipated several weeks
ago, favors the Nicaragua route and
makes an estimate of $3.50, S64 .062 as
the total cost of construction of the
canal through Nicaragua. The estimat-
ed cost of the Panama route is $144.-
233,35S, but, the report says, it would
cost 500, 1i1, 900 to obtain the Pana-
INA concession. The commission val
ue the work done at $40, 000, 600. The
report says the Panama route is feas-
lble as a sea level canal, while the
Nicaragua route must be by locks,
but Lake Nicaragua will furnish an
i~neNhaustible supply of water for the
canal. The Nicaragua route has no
natural harbors at either end, but
satisfactory harbors may be con-
structed. Harbors already exist at
each end of the Panama route, but
considerable work must be lone at
the entrance of the harbor on the
Atlantic side. With adequate force
and plant the commission estimate
that the Nicaragua canal can be COM
pleted in six years, exclusive of two
years for preparation. Ten years is
estimated to complete the Panama.
The total length of the Nicaragua
route is 1896 miles and the Panama
route 1900 miles. The estimated
cost of operating and ma maintaining
the Nicaragua canal annually is ST.
