stiucied and he had no doubt this could
be done He referred to the Hoosac
Mount Gents, ST. Gothard, Arlberg and
Smplon tunnels as daring and SUCCESS
ful efforts OF modern engineering lie
quoted both American and European
engineering authorities TO show that the
construction OF the San Bias tunnel was
quite practical.
For the following reasons Mr.. Scott
believed the San Bias route was the
only feasible and practical sea level
canal route.

! 2-rlts shortness.
41sts magnificent hurbors,
Ats total absence of locks.
1.-THE possibility Of working gangs Of
men night and day In the wet and dry
seasons, its good sanitary conditions.
6-The very important consideration
that by this route and no other sailing
vessels could be towed by electric pow
err, by night as well as by day, thus
Erecting a great saving OF time and
expense
The economical maintenance Of the
canal when completed
S-rhe permanency of It's rock bed
and the absence of earth embankment.
s-The desirable fact that IL can be
constructed within three or at most,
FIVE years.
Mr.. Scott concluded by strongly urg-

of ship tunnel and had submitted his
resolution as Il pure business PROPOSE

Al the conclusion of Mr.. scotfs

Mr.. Scott be referred to that commit

adoption OF the San Bias route as that

would be a hopeless task. he thought.

route would be the most desirable one
proposed. However be said the com

Without objection the resolution was
referred to the committee on inter-

called mp and had read resolution
which he offered several days ago pro-
vldlng for the appointment of a COM
mission Of experts 10 examine what Is
known as the San Bias, or Mandingo
bay route, for an isthmian waterway
and 10 report 10 the Senate the cost of
constructing an interoceanic canal by
that route lie said that nearly one
fourth OF the sum necessary to con-
struct a canal 10y any OF the routes pro-
posed already had been expended In an
endeayor to find a suitable route for
an isthmian canal, but confronted as
Congress was by a proposed appro.
priaton of nearly 500, 100000 for the
building of an interoceanic waterway
II was the duty of prudent men TO care
fully investigate every possible route,
He disclalmed any Intention to obstruct
the consideration OF a canal bill or TO
delay the building Of the canal itself,
but he maintained that the question of
route was still doubtful After thorough
investigation he was convinced that the
san Bias route met practically every
requirement OF the proposed water
way but because the adoption of that
route involved the driving of tunnel
through the granite Of mountain
range sufficiently large to admit Of
the passage OF any ship ailoat. the route
had been regarded as lmpracticable,
Personally he was convinced that such
a tunnel could be constructed at a rea-
sonable cost
Mr., Scott explained that the San Bias
route connected the two oceans from
