He went over much of the ground covered by the reports of that commission and in reply to numerous questions explained the reasons for the recent recommendation for the accept ance of the offer of the Panama Canal Company
 Admiral Walker spoke at length upon the engineering features of the two ca nals. Senator Hansbrough questioned him especially with the difficulty of exca- vating for the Bohio dam, not forgetting the fact that it would be necessary to sink the proposed piers to greater depth than had ever been done for such a pur- pose. The foundation of the pier will be 125 feet below sea level, and the wit ness said there was differences of opinions as to the atmospheric pressure and the possibility of sepage al this depth in the climate. He said that with reference to sepage the engineers of the commission had not agreed.
