The Stnto de partment today made public nn official nb- strnct of the report of the Nlcaraguan Canal commission ns presented by Admiral Wnlker , the head ot the commission. Tbo report itself covers. 136 typewritten pages nnd Is accompanied by eleven appendixes. It Is understood to be ICio Intention of the presi dent to submit the full report to congress at the beginning of the next session. The synopsis furnished to the press today snys : The commission understands that It wns required to consider nil routes heretofore proposed having any merit , that now routes that nppenred to hnvo merit should bo de veloped nnd the entire region of canal possi bilities should bo examined with sufficient thoroughness to enable n just and compre hensive comparison of the various routes to bo made and the most desirable ono selected. With this view , the commission made a careful study of all data bearing upon the Nlcnrngunn canal question nnd organized n largo force. Much delnv to the work nnd greatnnnoy- nnce to working pnrtles we're caused by at tempts nt revolution and by the Rtrnlncd rclntlons between the governments of Nlcn- rugua and Costn Hlcn. The outbreak of the war between the United States nnd Spnln wns also a serious matter. The report goes Into minute details with respect to all points connected with the construction of the cnnnl nnd says , after mature deliberation , the commission has adopted an estimate for the route from Brlto to Lake Nicaragua , called the Chllds route , and from the lake to Creytown , called the Lull route. This line , leaving Drlto , follows the left bank of the Illo Grnnde lo New Dueno Heltlro , creeses the western dlvldo to the valley of the Lnjas , which It follows to Lake Nicaragua. Crossing the lake to the head of the San Juan river , It follows the upper river to near Doca San Carlos , taence , In excavation , by the left bank of the river to San Juan Illo nnd across the low country to Greytown. pass ing to the northward of Lake Slllco. It requires but a single- dam , with regulating works at both ends of the summit level. The surveys have In general revealed better rhyslcal conditions than were hitherto sup posed to exist nnd especially as to the amount of rock In the upper river , , whereby it is possible to greatly reduce the esti mated cost of construction. To determine the proper prices for cx- cnvatlon th-o average of prices actually pnld to contractors on the Chlcngo drainage cnnal , which represent cost of plant , prices paid for work done and contractors' profits , were taken , nnd to these prices certain percent ages were added for the difference In loca tion , climate , etc. In obtaining the estimate for the cost of locks the prices actually paid for building - i ing the government locks at Snult Ste. , Marie I were taken and 33 per cent was added for the difference of location. After giving due weight to all , the ele ments of this Important question , nnd with an earnest desireto , reach logical conclu sions based upon substantial fncts , the commission. believes that a canal can be built across the Isthmus on this route for not exceeding $118,113,700. , Colcjjfji Halns ' qoncurs generally- with "thoi views of the o'tlier members ot tho-commls-t slon , Wrt hls-estlteato ' ' ' ' of thq cost ,1s ' $131- " 61830S ; : . ; , NO BIDS FOR ARMOR PLATES Miiiinfne urerx Suliult | n.

In closing Judge Tarvln said : I know that it was declared by those who opposed us in 1SC that tile cold standard advocatPS own all the. IVite'llisence and all the knowledge' of 'tho couqtry-and that wo -wcr < too ignorant * nnd too stupid to underStand - ( Stand that which , ; was best , for our welfare .and 'that we ougjit ( Vo Jeayj , these matters to' the gold standard people , whnqq only desire on earth was to benefit somebody else at their own expense. But It seems to us , in our feebfe , anarchistic way of thinking , that If there Is anything In this government too ; blg fo thq average lawyer or doctor , or .farmer < or laborer , or merchant or manu- ' facturcr to understand , tlmt thing istoo big for this government and ought to bo out. of It. If .our gold standard brethren have monopolized all the Intelligence and knowl edge as well as all the .money , they ought not to abuse us , but ought to look upon us with sympathy and listen to us with for bearance. Of course , we cannot hope to think with the Intelligence of a gold Htand- ard man , but it does seem to me , with air the certainty possible to the feeble mind ac corded by the gold standard man to the democrat anarchist , that W.llllam Jennings Bryan , George Fred "Williams and Charles A , . Towno are the finest specimens to be found of the youth , vigor , elpqucnce nnd brain o.f American citizenship. If the gold standard brethren can furnish a higher class than these represented then I have failed to fully appreciate or to fully understand the fowl- bllltles of American development. In conclusion I will * y that I believe U to be the judgment and the sense of this con- ventlon that the democratic national con- vontlon of .1900 , of tor adopting a platform made by democrats , ought to place upon It by acclamation as th leader of the democracy in that year the one who led them against such fearful odds In 1806 nnd that In the campaign of 1900. as In 1S9G , the real and only democrats nt this land will be satisfied nnd ought to be satisfied with that for which they contended In 1898 , Uryan and free silver. Ex-Senator Ji ( } . C. BlaokbuiM wns to have opokon this afternoon , but ho niu detained nt home on account of the serious Illness of his wife. Pollen Ing Judge Tarvln. Congressman James M. Hoblnwiti of Indiana made an Impromptu speech. The cct.iventlon then adjourned until 7:30 : p. m. The delcoatcs were late In reassembling ! i for the evening session , nnd It was after S I o'clock btforo the convention got to busi ness. ness.Dr. Dr. Tarvln Introduced Hon. T. S. Oliver of Cincinnati , who presented ox-Governor j Altgcld of Illinois. The most enthusiasm ! prevailed when the Illinois statesman arose i I to address the convention , the delegates rising to their feet , waving lints and cheer ing lustily. Ex-Governor Altgcld of 11- | I llnols said In uart : I "Tho ovlln that result from the gold I standard have net been exaggerated or 1 overstated. Time has sustained the bl- metalllst and that man makes a fatal mis I take \\ho thinks that the American people are ready to abandon this cause , nnd Inas much ns the abandonment of the ratio practically amounts to the abandonment of the cause , that politician makes a fatal mlstnko who thinks that the ratio cnl.i bo abandoned without disintegrating the demo cratic party. Kor every score of wealth- i , worshiping gold democrats who would bo brought to our standard by such nn nbnn- donmcnt cf principle , 10,000 men of deep convictions would leave us. " i The auditorium of the Young ( Men's Christian association was filled Wednesday night by a largo nnd Interested audience to listen to the ambitious efforts of the pupils of Dr. nnd Madame Baettens. Only one pupil failed to appear and the program was carried out with few changes and In a manner which wns far from ama teurish. The pupils of the violin depart ment exhibited a fine system of bowing , which the doctor Instills Into everyone who Comes under his rules. He Is a fine type of the old nnd correct school of playing and the ease with which his young disciples wield the bow Is certainly surprising. The piano department reflected much credit on Madame Daotter.e and the num bers chosen were not only of the very best , but they were' evidently chosen with a view to Interest the audience as well ns to dis play the proficiency of the budding artists. It Is not possible to comment separately on each pupil's merits or demerits , nor would it be advisable so to do , but especial mention Is deserved and in fact cannot be held back from Mr. Ouy Woodard. This young man possesses the requisite essential to the best typo of violin solo playing. He swings a fine bow , and his tone Is s'tipcrb. Ho Is a wonder. His future Is roseate am that he will bo one of the leading violinists of the country Is certain If he keeps on developing In the remnrkablo manner which ho lias already shown.
