SOUTHERN LAW.
Sixteen Head Of Deer Slain by
Admiral and His Party on St.
GATHERINGS IslaRd---Brought
to Savannah.
MAXIMUM PENALTY $500.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. 20.-Admiral and
Mrs. Winfield Scott Schley left today at
neon for Washington, where the admiral
will spend several days before going to
Chicago.
He carried with him many pleasant rec
elections Of his Savannah visit, but moth
ing that he did here attracted as much
attention as his trip 10 St. GATHERINGS Is
land as the guest of Mr.. Jacob Rauers,
and the deer hunt that followed, despite
the fact that the season closed January l.
Everybody in Savannah is talking about
this trip. although the local newspapers
have fxedly declined to print word
about it, except to say that the time was
spent in hunting and fishing Not once
has it been said in q local paper that the
admiral and his friends killed deer.
Admiral Shot But One.
The exact number of these animals
slain has been found to be sixteen. and
of these the admiral got one. The others
killed one or more each.
What makes the natives of the vicinity
of St. GATHERINGS marvel so greatly at
the slaughter of deer out of season is the
fact that Mr.. Rauers has always been
g.. such stickler for having the game law
obeved
St. GATHERINGS is not in Chatham Coun-
ty, In which Savannah is located but is
in Mcintosh, one of the country counties.
and Mr.. Rauers has been persistent in
his efforts 10 have the game law respect
ed. He has watchmen and guides en-
ployed TO keep poachers off his land. and
10 prosecute those who violate the game
law.
Nenison Was Enjoyed.
OF course the party enjoyed some of
the venison while on the trip. Much OF
1t was eaten there. but some of the game
Is understood TO have been brought to
the city in canvas hags.
The gentlemen OF Savannah who were
in the party are undoubtedly somewhat
concerned about the entire transaction.
They do not know what is coming from
the officers of Mcintosh County when they
find out that the game law has been vio-
lated.
One of the party said today that if any
deer had been killed on this trip the
game law had been violated. He would
not admit that any had been killed. The
punishment for violating the game law is
the same as for a misdemeanor, which is
q fine of Sl00, and each animal killed
constitutes a distinct and separate vio-
lation.
That would make the maximum penalty
for the deer slain 81 600. Mr.. Rauers still
remains on the island.

Reached First, However.
There is, however, one important mat
ter which cannot enter into its determi-
nation, but which may in the end con-
troll the action of the United States. Ref
erence is made TO the disposition of the
Government whose territory is necessary
for the construction and operation Of an
sthmian canal. 1t must be assumed by
the commission that Colombia will exer-
else the same fairness and liberality II
the Panama route is determined upon tha {

Costa Rica, should the Nicaragua route
be preferred.
In conclusion the commission makes the
following recommendation:
The Recommendation ParaEraph.
After considering the changed condi-
tions that now exist and all the facts and
circumstances upon which its present
judgment must be based, the commission
is of the opinion that the most prac-
ticable and feasible route for an 18TH
mian canal, to be under the control,
management and ownership of the United
States is that known as the Panama
route.

Il. Work done-The excavation already
accomplished upon the main canal line
which will be of value in the plan recon-

computed, and was found TO be &c $50, 965
cubic yards. AS stated in the report of
November 16, 1901, the amount Of excava-
tion which can be utilized in the Chagres
Diversion is 210,S73 cubic yards, and in
the Gatum Diversion. 2sS5.494 cubic
yards. Adding these together, the total
quantity of excavation which will be of
value in the new plan is 39. 332 cubic
yards. A temporary diversion of the Pan

TITLE MUST BE PERPETUAL.
United states Must Have Police Au-
thOrity Also.

This interest of the old company is still
under the protection of the liquidator, and
he must be a party TO any arrangement
that may be entered into for a sale and
conveyance of the property, and as he de-
rives his authority from the tribunal that
appointed him, his action requires the ap-
proval and confirmation Of the court.
The papers before the commission show
that the liquidator has agreed to the
proposition and that he is acting under
judicial authority.
A deed to the property executed by the
canal company and the liquidator re
quires the approval of the Government of
Colombia, because of the prohibition al
ready referred to in the concessions, and
for the further reason that the Republic
owns 30 600 shares OF 100 francs each of
the stock OF the company, full paid, of
which il cannot be deprived without its
consent
New Concessions Necessary.
Such a transfer of title thus approved
would give to the United States the same
right title. and interest in the premises

THE TWO ROUTES COMPARED.
Commission Explains Its Change in
RccOmin ndation.

In reciting its conclusions in the report
dated November l5. 1901, this commission
stated that the selection of the most feas-
ible and practicable route must be made
between the Nicaragua and Panama loca-
tions, adopting plan OF canal with locks
IN each case.
1t concluded that the water supply fea
lures we're satisfactory on both lines; that
both dams by which the summit levels
would be sustained were practicable, the
advantage being in favor of the Conchuda
dam at Nicaragua; that the plan Of regu-
lating the summit level was practicable
in each case, though less simple on the
Nicaragua route than on the Panama.
that the present means of transportation
were inadequate on the Nicaragua route,
while well equipped railroad was in op-
Grafton along the entire length OF the
Panama route: that there are now no nat
uraI harbors at Nicaragua, while service
able ones exist al both ends Of the PAN
ANA route. and although with the com
pletion of the harbors as planned one
route would have little advantage over the
other, the balance was probably In favor
Of Panama, that, owing to the absence Of
harbors and railroad. the period of prep
aration at Nicaragua would be twice that
