100000.
The production OF silver in 1904
amounted to 5599s,S64 fine ounces
valued at ssc.os5.s7S. This repre-
sents an increase of 1.7os,s64 ounces

A SEA-LEvEL CANAL
Will Cost S23o,0oo,oO0 and will take Fifteen
Years to Construct It--Important
Decision Reached by Board.
CANAL WILL Be FORTY FEET DEEP

NEW YORK. Nov. 2o--The Board
of Consulting Engineers OF the Pan
ANA Canal Commission in deciding
Saturday upon the type of canal that
should be constructed across the 18th
mus, was divided between sea.ievel
canal and one with locks an eleva.
ton of sixty feet All other proposed
plans were rejected.
The seaIevel canal, the board esfi.
mates, can be constructed In fifteen
years at cost OF about $3.50, 900 900.
The lock canal would take twelve
years and cost about $40 900 900. The
board concluded that the difference Of
only three years in time and forty mill
lions In cash. in work that is to
last for all time, was inconsidernhlc.
According to the approved plans. tho
canal Is to be forty feet deep and
$50 feet w'de. broadening TO 200 feet

: The Pacific entrance. at Panama.
will be DETECTED slightly from fts
present location, at Labeca. and con-
structed nearer to the town OF PAN

The subcommittee charged with the
preparation Of plans for local canal
determined that the size of the locks
should be Increased to 1000 feet in
length and that they should be vailed.
entirely with granite. Instead Of ce-
ment as at FIRST proposed The changes
involved increased the estimated cost
and time OF construction OF this type
OF canal beyond the calculations OF
previous boards and finally deter
minod the choice Of a sen,ieyeI water
way. A rough draft of the report Of
the consulting engineers win be sent
to the President this week. SO that
he may make reference to II In his
message to Congress. The detailed
report will take several weeks to

northeast wind which blow the flames

the town of Bradford, the buildings OF

Baltimore & Ohio railroad station from
destruction. Smoke was first seen is

in all directions. Calls, for help were
sent to Uniontown. Conpellsyille and

100 LIVES
WERE LOST
AT SEA
OVER a HUNDRED LIVES WE'RE
LOST IN A SEA. DISASTER
NEAR ST. MAGo, FRANCE.

ST. MALo, France, Nov. 20.-The
town presented desolate appear,
ance this morning following the
scene of wreck on one OF the south.
western railway cross channel steam,
ers, Hilda, in which 1t is believed
over 100 lives were lost.
The news of the disaster spread
quickly and this morning great
crowds OF people swarmed down to
the sea and took up position on the
rocks waiting to see II the bodies OF
other victims would be washed up.
In the throngs were many men and
women who had relatives on the III.
fated steamer who were anxious for
a chance to identify any bodies which
might come ashore. The distress OF
these mourners was pitiful. Men aud
women, with. tears, streaming down
their cheeks. stood for hours on their
sad watch. Isl.
Gloom of the catastrophe has af.
fected the whole town and for the
time being every other thought has
given way to the grief caused by the
loss OF SO many lives in the wreck.
Definite information as to the cir.
cumstances Of the wreck is still lack.
ing. The general opinion, however,
is that the catastrophe was due to n
species of mirage which apparently
altered the position Of shore and chan
mel lights, misleading Captain Greg.
ory and causing him to take wrong
course. Whether the -Hilda used any
distress signals is not. known. Such
signals should have been seen, on
shore, although the fact that they
were not may have been due to the
heavy snow storm which prevailed at
the time the accident occurred.
The few persons who were saved,
so far as now known. suffered fearful
exposure and fears are entertained
that they may not be able to survive
but will die In hospitals.
