CANAL ON
SEA LEVEL
BOARD DECIDES TO BUILD
CANAL ON THE
SEA LEVEL.
OPPOSED THE LOCK CANAL PRO-
JECT BY A VOTE OF
EIGHT TO FIVE.
THE COMMISSION, THE PREsl.
DENT AND CONGRESS MUST
PASS ON THE PLAN.

A Washington dispatch says: The
board of consulting engineers of the
isthmian canal commission declared it.
self by a large majority in favor or
a sea level canal
The conclusion was reached after IL
long and careful study of the project.
Since the beginning of September the
board had held meetings and in spe-
cial ub-committees had studied the
plans for sea level and a lock canal
with the greatest care. A trip to the
isthmus was made to enable the mem
bers TO form better idea of the ply
steal difficulties which had to be con-
sidered.
The members of the board are men
OF the greatest reputation in their line
of work. France, Germany and Hol-
land had sent their most eminent spe-
cialists at the request of the Ameri-
can government.
From the beginning it was evident
that majority of the members was
III favor of the sea level canal. Their
point OF view was that, even If it cost
more than lock canal and would take
longer in the building, it would ulti-
mately be of greater use, as it will en-
able ships to make a much shorter
trip than if they were obliged to 90
through three or four locks.

Typical "Home" Day.

It is a far cry from that first
Thanksgiving of the forefathers on the
bleak coast of New England to the
present elaborate and sumptuous an.
nual fasting that marks the end OF
the harvest in this country.
Many a man will go hundreds, even
thousands, of miles to sit at the old
home table, and partake once more OF
the old home coolting-the mince
pies and the turkey dressing" just
the same at least just like what
mother used to make" 1t is a day
when the home is supreme. Lonely
men in the big cities dine at the big
hotels, it is true, and they may have
every luxury that the mind of man
can conceive and the money Of men
can buy, but they would give it all
gladly for a place even at an humble
table if it only were at the old home.

Prince Louis Loses 1,o5s Men.

One thousand and fifty-siX British
sailors were missing today from the
squadron of Prince Louis of Batten-
berg, which has been anchored in New
week
These sailors are recorded as de-
serters on the books of the six ships
composing the fleet, but their officers
hope that most of them have merely
overstayed their shore leave.
Petty officers from all the ships OF
the British squadron, their revolvers
and sabres strapped by their sides,
tramped the Bowery from one cad to
the other trying TO find some Of their
enthusiastic crew. They found only
a few OF them, and these they took
back to ship to do penance.

from attack II they are under the pro
lection OF a member OF the brother
hood. The original Turkish, as well
as the Christian, population OF Ana
tolia is remarkably peaceable on the
whole, and the lawless element is al.
most entirely composed of muha-
jiras, or Mussulman refugees from
lands which were once part of the
Ottoman empire, but have now fallen
under Christian rule. The Circas-
slams are the greatest sinners and
seem to make their living mainly by
brigandage and tobacco smuggling.
Some Of them get engaged as village
guards or escorts TO travellers. and a
few even enter the gendarmerie. but
