passed by the late chamber Of depu-

previously been available. President
Grant in 1869 asked congress to take
up the matter of canal. The only
action was a resolution providing for
an exploration by officers of the navy
and the creation of commission in
1872 to consider their reports. Then
in May. 1876, the republic of Colon
bia granted a concession for the con-
struction Of canal from Colon to
Panama, the terminals of the Panama
railroad, to Lieut.. Lucien Napoleon
Bonaparte Wyse. an officer of the
French army.
In 1894 new French company was
organized and work was resumed, In
1899 the United States congress Gre
ated the isthmian canal commission
to examine all practicable routes and
to report which was the most prac-
ticabie and feasible for canal under
the control. management and owner

mission reported two alternative plans.
one for a canal at Panama and the
other across Nicaragua. 1t estimated
the cost of Panama canal at $780,
378,258 and OF the Nicaragua canal at
$200,540.00O. But because the route
from New York to San Francisco
would be several hundred miles short
er by way of Nicaragua, and consider
ing existing French concessions in
Panama, the commission gave It as It's
belief that the Nicaragua route was
more desirable under the circnm-
stances. The effect of this report was
to induce the French Panama com
pany to offer it's concession to the
United States for $4,000. 900 In Janu-
ary, 1902. The isthmian canal COM
mission advised tho purchase and con-

control. but In November. 1908. ten
months later, the state of Panama de.
clared itself independent. Within a
month treaty had been negotiated
with the new republic by which the
