THE CANAL REPORT

The work OF the commission APP
pointed to investigate the proposed
routes for a canal between the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans, has practically
been concluded, and the labor of tho
commissioners is now confined TO pre-
pairing the report. There are only two
routes seriously considered. If the
Panama rights can be secured for
about $50, 1000, 900, the commission be-
lieves it would be equally desirable
with the route through Nicaragua, but
will not recommend paying more than
that sum.
Il is doubtful whether the French
holdings can be secured at that figure
or whether a clear title could be giveT
for any sum. There will be grea
pressure in some quarters in favor o
the Nicaraguan route, as the distanc'
between American ports would b.
shorter by hundreds of miles than b.
the cut across the isthmus. There ar
engineering problems in the longe
route which do not occur at Panama
And while the latter has it's difficulties
too, yet when they are once surmounl
ed and the canal is cut, they will hav
been ended forever.
From the personnel of the commdte
and the manner in which their invest
cation has been made. an authoritati,
utterance may be expected. There h;
based upon careful surveys and a
curate estimates. While neither route
given the preference, both are show
TO be feasible. and there is little dou
that the great ditch will be dug with
the next decade.
