dent Roosevelt is coming to Newport
some time during the coming month, on
the May1ower, which is termed the
Presidents yacht.
Undoubtedly President Roosevelt will
take advantage Of his visit here to sec
the many beauties of the place again,
as it is FIVE years since he last visited
Newport, then as the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy. 1t is believed that
the Presidents visit to the "City by
the Sea- is for the purpose of wit
Messing the battles and maneuvers be-
tween the army and navy forces, which
have been set for the latter part OF
August and the beginning of Septem-
ber
Should the Presidents stay be for
any length OF time he will be royalty
entertained by the cottagers. Mrs.
Roosevelt and Miss Alice Roosevelt will
accompany the President On his TRIP
while on the Mayfiower.

Information that the government had no inten-

Office took over the administration of the place

PROF. HAUPT ON CANAL ROUTES.
HE POINTS OUT SOME ADVANTAGES OF
THE NICARAGUA SCHEME

Washington. Feb. 1O-Professor Lewis NJ. Haupt
OF the Isthmian Canal Commission. testified be-
fore the Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals
to-day concerning the engineering features con-
nected with the construction Of a canal across
the Isthmus OF Panama He said that while the
proposed Panama Canal Is much shorter than the
Nicaragua, the total distance to be covered by
vessels in making the voyage from New-York TO
San Francisco would be much greater by the
former than the latter route. He also said that
he apprehended much difficulty in constructing
the big dam at Bohio on the Panama line. An
other point made by him favorable to the
Nicaragua route TO the effect that the harbors
at the two ends of that route could be much more
economically main than could those az ths

WITH AMERICAN SKIPPER AND CREW.
London. Feb. 10.-Sir Thomas Lpton's third
challenger for the Americas Cup will be tested
against Shamrock II with an American skipper
and crew on board the latter. This decision is
the outcome of the statement that the Columbia
was the better handled during the Cup races last
year. No American captain has yet been asked
10 show what he can get out Of Shamrock II,
and probably no captain will be asked to do
so until the end OF the coming season. But Sir
Thomas has decided that after his new chal-
lenger has been thoroughly tried here against
Shamrock I, another series of trials shall be
carried cut over the Cup courses against Sham
rock II IN American hands By this means it
is hoped to show how far George L. Watson's
opinion OF his boat was justified and give the
third challenger such a tuning up to assure
that she shall not suffer from being brought to
the starting line in an untried condition.
