The estimated time for completing the level
canal is stated by the majority of the board as
from twelve TO thirteen years; by the Isthrnian
Canal Commission and the chief engineer, from
eighteen twenty years The minority report esti-
mates the time for completing the high-leveI canal
at eight and a half years, and this is regarded
conservative by the other competent authorities
The advantage in practical speed OF construction
is In favor OF the high level canal.
The cost OF operation and maintenance Is an I'm

annual appropriations therefor the advantage is in
favor OF the sea level canal. II Is believed how

CANS AFTER RYAN.

It is reported that Joseph Cans the light and welterweight champion of the world, has declared a willingness to tackle Tommy Ryan, who styles himself the middleweight champion, in twenty round mill, Ryan to he permitted to cut the purse up to his own liking. Ryan has repeatedly of- fered to fight light heayyweights and middleweights either at 154 pounds or 15S pounds ringside, but these con ditions have apparently kept him out of harms way. But if Cans goes af- ter ,him in rearneE Ryan cannot naMe a condition that will serve as an ob- stacle to a match. He would prob ably insist on 15S pounds with the idea that he could have distinct ad- vantage over Cans in actual weight. but Cans is quoted as saying that Ryan can weigh what he pleases.
 Cans won the welterweight title from Mike fTwinl Sullivan at 142 pounds. yet the Baltimore fighter did not scale over 136. 1t is said. In a fight with Ryan however. Cans would probably build up in his training so that he might get on the weighing machine with perhaps 145 pounds of bone and muscle

AMERICANS HARD LUCK.

Birmingham, Ala. March 31.-An- other day has passed with the High flanders in doors and the windows locked down. In addition to the drenching the temperature dropped several degrees, and the players have to go about clad in heavy overcoats. Griffith has practically abandoned all hopes of being able to play here and will move on to Atlanta Sunday.
 If the least opportunity is offered, however, a game will be attempted to-day. The grounds have been cat to pieces by the rain, and to make them ready in the next few days would be a herculean task.
 Catcher Thomas is laid up with chills and fever and is liable to be in bed for several days. His temper ature last night was 103. He is the first member of the club to become i'll since the training season. The big catcher is under the care of a doctor, however, and they hope 10 have him we'll enough to leave for Atlanta Sunday.

ABOUT DANNY MAHER.
It Is Said He Will Never Return to
 America.

New York, March 3i.-Danny Maher will never return to America. So says Louis N. Long, the former partner of the jockey tn the propri- etorship of the Hotel Saranac.
 "The Star Spangled Banner no longer has any meaning to him and his cap comes, off now only when the band plays Rule Britannia said MT Long, "and as we won't have ans Britisher a partner of ours we have bought out his interest in the hotel and never expect to see him again"
 Since the announcement of Maher's engagement to Miss Dorothy Cooper the daughter of Sir Daniel Cooper, for whose stable the jockey has been riding in England, numerous stories of Danny's Anglomaniacal propensi- ties have come to light on Broadway
 And his names Daniel o'Connell Maher-named after the great oulc liberathor," said an old Irish trainer in the Hoffman house yesterday. The more shame to him, renouncin the land that has given his oppressed counthrymen good home, and swearin' allegiance to the bloody ras of England"
 Danny has sold the corner lots he bought in Hartford, his old home, and merely cabled an answer of ac- cepiance to his partners regarding their offer to buy out his interest in the Ssranac. once the Rossmore.
 He had denied to us his engage ment 10 this English girl" said Fen ton M. Johnson. but when the stories came out that he was going to marry her and become an English man we eabled him immediately for a direct answer. as we felt it was due us to know. He never even deigned to reply. but when we cabled him an offer to buy his interest he wired a short and curt acceptance. His in- terest never amounted to much more than a farthing's worth. anyway. as he would say now. but I expect he'll buy Bank of England bonds or con sols or some other foolish British stock with it.
 Ever since Danny Maher made a success in England his nut has been full of these English notions" said lack Rose. formerly the jockey s
 
 betting commissioner. and l have even caught him trying to say 'cawn'r and 'hawlf' When he came over last fall he brought stacks Of PiccadilIy clothes with him and think if he'd had the nerve he'd have taken up fhe monocle habit
 He brought a regular aha Eng Iishman over with hirn-a fellow named Hercey-they called him The Bat. and he uas the limit for fair. He touched Danny up pretty lively and had the old jock hanging on hts wordsL I used to guy him. and van- ny would say.

BOB AND GUS MAY MEET EACH
 OTHER.
0'Rourke Trying to Bring Ruhlin and Fitzsimmons Together
 Once More.

The next fight of importance at Tom O'Rourke's Tuxedo Athletic club at Essington, Pa, will in all probabii- ity be between Robert FitzsimmOns and Gus Ruhlin for twenty rounds and for purse of $15,000.
 '.I'd rather have O'Brien," said FitZ yesterday. But if O'Rourke comes to time with that offer of 70 per cent. for the fighters and per centage. I'll cut out my vaudeville engagements for couple of months and will fight Ruhlin.
 As it looks like O'Rourke means business 1t seems as if the match is as good as made as I understand Ruhlin is dead anxious"
 Tom O'Rourke said last night that he would not make any matches at the Tuxedo club until after the trials of the men arrested at the first en- tertainment of the club. They will be arraigned before Judge Johnson in Media Thursday and until the matter Is definitely settled ORourke will not talk business.
 ..I have no doubt regarding the out come of the trial" said the promoter "and am confident that the boys will be dismissed and decision handed down which will prove us to be entire. ly within our rights and the law )n holding these twenty round fights, but will not take matches until it is all settled"
 T will then gladly match Fitzsim | mons and Ruhlin as I think fight
 between the two will draw great crowd'
 If the match is made it will un doubtedly draw sporting men from all sections of the country. as it will
 bring together two of the greatest heayyweights the world has evei
 known and about the only two of the old timers who are yet in the game. The convenience of reaching the club from New York has been den ! onstrated. Special trains will take the sports from the Pennsylvania | station direct to Essington and al
 most to the door of the clubhouse
 They can be back in New York and on Broadway by 1:15 o'clock.
