LOCK CANAL FAVORED.
President Roosevelt In Agreement With
Isthmian Commission.

Washington, Feb. 20. President
Roosevelt transmitted to congress the
report of the board of consulting engi-
neers on the Panama canal, together
with the report of the isthmian canal
commission. The letter of the presi-
dent Is in part as follows:
"The majority of the board of con-
sulting engineers, eight in number, in
GLIDING the five foreign engineers, IA
vor sea level canal, and one member
of the canal commission, Admiral Endi-
colt, takes the same position. Five of
the American members of the board of
consulting engineers and five members
of the isthmian canal commission ia
vor the lock canal, and so does Chief
Engineer Stevens. The secretary of
war recommends a lock canal pursuant
to the recommendation Of the minority
of the board of consulting engineers
and of the majority Of the canal com
mission. After careful study of the pa
pers submitted and full and exhaustive
consideration of the whole subject
concur in the recommendation"
The president goes on to say that
a lock canal would not cost much
more than half as much to build and
could be built in about half the time,
while there would be very much less
risk connected with building it, and
for large ships the transit would be
quicker, while taking into account the
interest ON the amount saved in build
ing the actual cost of maintenance
would be less.

Washington, Feb. 19.-In the beauti-
full white and gold east room Of the
White House, a few minutes after
noon on Saturday, the venerable Right
Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop Of
Washington, Of the Protestant Episco-
pal church, pronounced the words
which united in marriage Alice Lee
Roosevelt. eldest daughter of the presi-
dent of the United States, and Nicholas
Longworth, representative in congress
from the First district of Ohio.
After spending short time at
Friendship, the country seat of John
r. Mclean, near Georgetown, Mr.. and
Mrs. Longworth went south on a bridal
trip. They will probably visit Cuba.
The ceremony simple, beautiful
and impressive ring service of the
Episcopal church was attended with
all the splendor Of a grand official
function and with all the devotional
beauty Of cathedral service. 1t was
witnessed by one of the most brilliant
and distinguished assemblages ever
gathered in the White House, by far
the largest company which ever graced
the executive mansion on similar oc-
casion. The guests numbered almost
a thousand.
The floral decorations were more
elaborate than any heretofore have
been in President Roosevelt's admins
tration, although unnecessary space in
the great apartment was not taken up
with decorations, as every inch of it
was needed to accommodate the
guests
Preceded by the ushers, the president
and the dainty bride, resting her hand
lightly within his left arm, proceeded

from which the gown was developed
was manufactured especially for her,
and the design was destroyed as soon
as the necessary amount of the ma

The gown had long court train of

made high without collar, was trim

elbow sleeves were. finished with the

A voluminous tulle veil almost COM

was held in place by clusters Of orange
blossoms. The slippers were fashioned
from silver brocade and instead of
buckles tulle bows were worn with tiny
clusters OF orange flowers.

Grant Memories Revived.
About twenty people invited to the
Longworth-R Roosevelt wedding were
carried back in memory to the day long
ago when they were spectators at the
marriage of Miss Nellie Grant and Mr..
Sartoris Fred Grant, a mere youth
then, was train bearer for his sister.
The Grant wedding was simple COM
pared with the great one of this year.
For that event 800 invitations were
issued by General and Mrs. Grant, and
fewer than $50 guests were present
The Rev. O. H. Tiffany officiated, and
no other cleric was in attendance. The
breakfast was plain, and even the
floral decorations marked the spirit Of
simplicity that prevailed in the early
seventies. When Sartoris took his bride
from the White House the president
Mrs. Grant and the three boys, Fred
Ulysses S., Jr., and Jesse, went with
them as far as New York to see them
safely on the ship.
