Board OF Estimate and Apportionment was one

demnation proceedings the property of the New
York Steam Company. at Sixtieth-st. and the
East River. Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal
said the plans for the BlackwelPs Island Bridge
contemplated a pier in the middle OF the prop
erty, and If the steam plant remained there 1t
would be danger to the bridge and add S4o0-
600 to the cost of the bridge.
James w. Halves, representing the steam
company. declared that 419 buildings were SUD
piled with steam from the plant. and that IL
the present site of the plant was taken by the
city the company could not get another site In
the neighborhood. He said the company would
carry the case to the Court Of Appeals. Con-
troller Grout asserted that that would be use
less as the title would pass to the city in the
mean time. Mr.. Lindenthal said boiler of the
steam plant might explode and carry away part
OF the bridge. Mr.. Hawes replied that the caps
OF the boilers might be tied down with bolts
Mr.. Lindenthal declared that would be like an
choring shot from cannon. A motion by Mr.
Grout that the question be submitted to the
engineers Of the board was carried.

ADMIRAL WALKER TESTIFIES.
FEATURES OF PANAMA
AND NICARAGUA CANAL ROUTES.

Washington Feb. Rear Admiral John G.
Walker. chairman OF the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, testified before the Senate Committee
on Interoceanic Canals to-day. He went over
much Of the ground covered by the reports
OF the commission, and in reply to numerous
questions explained the reasons for the recent
recommendation that the offer of the Panama
Canal Company be accepted.
Admiral Walker spoke at some length on
the engineering features OF the two canals.
Senator Harris questioned him especially with
reference to the difficulty of excavating for
the Bohio dam, developing the fact that II
would be necessary TO sink the proposed piers
to a greater depth than had ever been done for
such a purpose The foundation of the pier
will be 125 feet below sea level. and the wit
ness said there differences Of opinion
as TO the atmospheric pressure and the posi-
bility OF seepage at this depth in that climate
With reference TO seepage the engineers OF
the commission had not agreed. Admiral
Walker also was questioned concerning the
possibility Of utilizing the Chagres River
a part OF the canal. He admitted that It is a
torrential stream. but thought that 1t could
be safely confined. With reference TO the esti-
mate that ten years would be necessary to
build the Panama Canal. while eight years
would suffice for the construction OF a canal
Dy tnc nicaragua route, ne SStlO tndt the dl1-
ference against the Panama route due
largely to the extent of the great Culebra cut
and the Bohio dam He thought that in or
dinary weather steam vessels would be able
to pass through the Panama Canal without
being towed. but that towage might be neces-
sary when the winds high Brto Harbor
at the Pacific end Of the Nicaragua route he
said, would possess advantage over the
Panama harbor. in that vessels would be i'm
mediately able to avail themselves in the
former of the trade winds. while in Panama
Bay they would not secure this advantage until
towed out to sea- However he thought that
good harbors could be cheaply secured at the
western terminals Of both routes.
Senator Morgan questioned Admiral Walker
concerning the difficulties of constructing a
canal by the Panama route. He asked espe-
cially about the effect of the water discharge
through the spillway from the artificial lake
to be made by the construction of the Bohio
dam. Admiral Walker said he thought 1t pos
sible that the water would find it's way back
into the canal, but did not seem inclined to
think the canal would be injured by 1t IL 1t
did. He also said, in reply to questions that
far he knew experiments beyond a
few borings had been made to ascertain whether
secure foundation could be obtained for
the proposed pier at the dam, but he believed
that by the OF cement il would be possible
to get a good foundation.
Admiral Walker will continue his testimony
before the committee tomorrow.
