Will Cost $23O.oOO. 900.

The cost of the sea level canal at
Panama is estimated by the board
of consulting engineers at about $780,
100000. Although this amount seems
much larger than the amount neces-
sary with the construction of lock
canal, it is claimed by the advocates
of the sea level plan to be in reality
only comparatively slightly higher. 1t
was pointed out in the meetings of
the board that the lock canal would
necessitate between $30,000,000 and
$40, 100000 payment for the private
grounds and the lands belonging to
the republic of Panama which would
be inundated by the lock system. This
item, in view of the majority of the
board, is entirely done away with by
the adoption of the sea level canal

Washington.-The board of consult
ing engineers of the isthmian canal
commission has declared itself by a
large majority in favor of a sea level
canal. The conclusion was reached
after a long and careful study of the
projects.
Since the beginning of September
une board had held meetings and in
special subcommittee had studied the
plans for sea level canal with the
greatest care.
A trip to Panama was made to
enable the members to form better
idea of the physical ditnculties which
had to be considered. The members
of the board are men of the greatest
reputation in their line of work. Ger
many, France and Holland had sent
their most eminent specialists at the
request of this government. At the
beginning it was evident that major
lty of these members were in favor
of sea level canal. Their point of
view was that even il it cost more
than a lock canal and would take
longer in the building, it would ulti-
mately be of greater use, as it will
enable ships to make a much quicker
trip than if they were obliged to go
through three or four locks.
On the other hand was a minority
which wanted to see the canal built
in as short a time as possible and
with the least cost, declaring that
few hours longer for the trip through
the isthmus made little or no differ
ence.
No official statement will be given
out before the decision reaches Presi-
dent Roosevelt, auout January.

Philadelphia, May 29.-"Organiza.
t1on" leaders are responsible for the
statement that the United Gas I'M
provement company has withdrawn it's
offer to advance the city $25,00O,00O in
consideration of an extension of the
lease of the city gas works. President
Dolan of the company has sent let
ter to President Hansley Of the select
council and President McCurdy of the
common council in which he said that
the United Gas Improvement company
would withdraw it's bid. Mr.. nolan
said:
''The manner in which the whole
subject has been treated induced the
United Gas Improvement company to
believe that the community is opposed
to any extension of the gas lease upon
any terms. This being so this com
pany is unwilling to accept the or
1inance which has been passed or to
enter into any contract whatever with
the city looking to any variation of
the terms OF the present lease.
"The United Gas Improvement COM
pany, therefore, begs respectfully to
advise the councils that, for the rea-
sons stated above, should the pending
ordinance become law it will not be
accepted by it,"

Chicago, May 29-An armed force
OF 1000 men, police and deputies, said
to be almost as large as the entire ma
ttonal guard of Illinois, is in command
of the teamsters' strike situation A
call for troops seems to be increasingly
distant. In the lumber district, ac
cording to Secretary f. E. Hooper Of
the Lumbermen's association, 100 non
union teams were at work and 200
experienced lumber teamsters, en-
gagged in Duluth and Minneapolis, will
be added to the force on their arrival.
Chief of Police O'Neill has stopped
hiring extra policemen and numbers
of colored men who swarmed into his
Office to be sworn in were turned
away.
Refusal of the building trades to
give moral and financial support to the

q jurisdictional nature is settled is not

been designated by THE secretary Of
the interior to continue the work of
that commission after it expires July
next. The selection of some one to

familiarity with the details of the
work of the commission. He will have:
all the powers that have heretofore

of that service has been completed.
Mr.. Bixby was appointed to a place on
the commission in 1897
The announcement was made at the

that Mr. Breckenridge had withdrawn
his resignation as member of the
commission. He will continue to serve
