FAVOR A CANAL

congressman Back from Panama
Tell Of Impression as to
Great Canal.
BY w. w. Jermane..

Washington, Dec. 5.-Representas
tives Stevens, Burke and Esch and
Senator Kittridge returned to Washing
ton today from Panama, where they
went with other members Of the inter
state and foreign commerce committee
to investigate conditions along the
canal strip.
Senator Kittridge, who is leading
member Of the senate committee Oh in
teroceanic canals, declared himself posi-
lively in favor of a sea level canal
Representative Burke said: "The
committee gained more information by
personal observation in short time
than they could have by months of read
ing. Climatic conditions seem favor
able. Four hundred marines have been
stationed there for year. There have
been no deaths. The hospital reports
show no more sickness than in ordinary
military camps. .4r.
"We gathered data showing the
probable cost and time that will be re-
quired for the construction Of the canal
at different levels. A canal placed at
a 9O-foot level is estimated to cost
5000, 100000, one at sea level will cost
$780, 100000. It will take from eight to
ten years to construct high level
canal and from seventeen to twenty
years to construct sea level canal.

to lay bare the connection Of Andrew
Carnegie with the now-famous collat-
eral upon which Mrs. Cassie L. Chad

that two notes bearing the signature of
Andrew Carnegie were found among
the assets Of the Citizens National
bank at Oberlin. According to the best
obtainable information, these notes are
for $3.50, 900 and $5O0,000 respectively
The note for $3.50, 900, it is said, bears
the date of Jan. I, 1904, and reads az
follows:

with interest at s per cent. -
