Show N1CARAGUAN CANAL. Commission Reports the Great M nterway Can be Bui t Tor ia5,000,OO0. Washington, May 21. Tha N4ear-aguan N4ear-aguan canal commission, Admiral Walker, Colonel Haines and Mr. Haupt, are understood at last to have settled the previous disagreement which has so long delayed the report of the com" mission and which for a short time threatened to make necessary the appointment ap-pointment by the president of another commission under the authority con" ferred by the last session of congress. The compromise effected among the commissioners results in their fixing fix-ing the costof the proposed waterway, which is pronounced entirely feasible, at $125,0o0,000. It is believed the report re-port will be sigued and delivered to the president immediately on his return re-turn from Hot Springs to Washington. "The members of the commission had agreed after the elaborate and thorough consideration they have given to the subject, and believe that the last objection to the beginning of the interoceanic waterway had been swept aside and that congress may be relied upon to promptly authorize the canal's construction. |
