Fr.Hnt Good Frellng May Indues Great Britain to Withdraw Ita Nicaraguan Claim*—The Com minion to Malta Ita Iteport In a Month. Washington, Nov. 7.—The Nicar aguan canal commission appointed by the President under an act of Congress dlrectin a complete inquiry into this project with particular reference to its practicability and cost, bos about com pleted Its work and the present pros pect ia that the report will bo handed to Secretary May In about a mouth. The commission lias taken a building on Fifteenth street, formerly used as the German legation, and under the direction of Admiral Walker, chair man, a force of thirty-six computers, draftsmen, engineers, etc., is at work upon the report and the mass of tech nical matter which will accompany it. The commission is laboring to avoid prolixity nnd to bring out the salient features of tills great project, leaving the statistics and details to follow in supplement*. The conclusion* readied by the com mission will not be announced until the report is submitted. It is known, iiowcver, that on the two sulient fea ture*—practicability and cost — the commission will report first, that the project of u canal joining the Atlantic and Pad Hu by what is commonly known as the Nicaragua route, is en tirely feasible and practical, present ing no engineering problems that can not lie met; and. second, that the cost can be presented with u fair degree of mathematic exactness, allowing for excavation, construction nnd ull other items. The report will give this cost in figures, but the amount is not yet known even to the commissioners, as it will depend upon the eureful compu lations now making. The purpose is to make it us near mathematically exact as possible, and not to give a mere opinion of the various commis sioners. Admiral Walker lias already ex pressed the opinion before a congress ional committee that the cost would he within 8125,000,000 and this is understood to be ills opinion still. The eipeclal element of doubt will lie in establishing the unit of cost for cer tain estimates, as there may be differ ences as to this unit, depending on conditions of the soli, climate, etc. For instance, while the commissioners may fix with exactness the total num burof cubic feet of excavation required in such a vast undertaking, it is not easy to fix on fifty cents, or any other sum, as the unit for reckoning the whole or any considerable part of the work. This will be done as closely as possible under the circumstances. The report, it is understood, will he unani mous, as the commissioners arc agreed on the essential features of the cost, practicability, route, etc. the only difference being on the unit of cost on some of the branches of the work. The report will not refer to the po litical questions involved, hut will con fine itself to the scientific and engin eering problems. The political ques tions, it is recognized, are for the Htate department and for Congress. They involve the question of concessions and rights granted by Nicaragua to the old Nicaragua Canal company, and quite recently to a company of Ameri can capitalists; also the question of the right of tiie United States to build the canal as a distinct government enter prise. without reference to private con cessions; and finally the complications growing out of the disappearance of Nicaragua, November 1, as a sovereign nation and its absorption by tlie United States of Central America It is known to be the private opin ion of some of the memhersof the com mission that the canal can be con structed by the government. One of the most serious obstacles urged against the canal us a government pro ject has been the Clay ton-liulwer treaty and the right of joint occupancy and control under it claimed by Ureal llritain. Hut there is a growing feel ing that llie sentiments developed be tween the two countries during the progress of the recent war will go far to remove this obatucle, and will prob ably pnvo the way for a complete un derstanding between the countries.

Dr. Griffith of Kimh City Bay* Rad Tap* I* to Ilia in*. CuicurXATI, Ohio, Nov. 7.—The war investigating commission had an in teresting session yesterday. Lieutenant Colonel Miner, command ing the Sixth Infantry, testified to the movements of his regiment from Port Tampa to Santiago and return, lie regarded the Tampa camp as excellent. There was diflieulty in getting trans portation from Tampa to Cuba. The transport Miami, in which his regi ment went to Snntingo, was not fit for troops. The men would have died in their quarters if the voyage had not been mild, so that the porthole* were open and air thus supplied. living asked about the diet, he said he would recommend pickles and vege tables for Cuba. “The canned beef," he suld, “was nauseating, and the men, who were almost starved, woul not eat it. It seemed to be beef that had been boiled for extracts and was as free from nutriment as chips. The canned corn beef was good, but we did not get it. The Armour and Libbcy beef wus absolutely unfit for use when we got it.” Major f.riflith, of Kansas City, testi fied regarding the camp conditions ut Chickamanga and the hospitals. He had diflieulty in getting enough tents, and when he secured the proper num ber he found the last ones were of poor quality. From private and state sources the regiment* were supplied with hospitnl tents. As u rule, the men detailed as nurse* were unfit. lie attributed the failure at the Csmp Thomas hospital* to “red tape," and “jieaeo for thirty year*," which incapacitated the department for ex pansion for emergency. On* great difficulty In getting supplies of drugs arose from passing requisitions from the division surgeon to the corps sur geon and the surgeon-in-chief. This required a week. He usked the corps commander, on June 20, to have the typhoid patient* isolated. The epidemic could thus have been avoided, but no attention was given to the request. Ho regarded Hies and water a* causes of the infection. The lieer drinking und the unwholesome food as*i*ted in developing typhoid germ*.

Pleasure Was Not All That Took Emperor William to the East. FORMED AN ARMED ALLIANCE. A Hrrret Treaty Is halt! to Have llarn With th# Nultan—Humors of Im portant Concessions ~-'Tli 0 Imperial Vmrtf Leavos Jerusalem for Home. nienriff, Nov. ?. — The Frankfort Zoitung says that It learns that Em peror William's visit to Turkey led to nn agreement by which Germany un dertakes to support tiie integrity of the sultan's Asiatic possessions, for which Germany will receive commer cial and industrial privileges. The puper adds that it is believed tliat this agreement is tantamount to a armed alliance between the two countries. Several rumors as to the real objects of Emperor William’s visit to Constan tinople and the Holy land have been In circulation ever since the intention of His Majesty to visit the Orient was announced, about a year ago. These alleged purposes included important railroad concessions to Germany, the ceiling of territory in Syria to Germany for colonizing purposes, the ceding of the port of Hatla. In Palestine, the ceding the island of Rhodes to Ger many and granting Germany the right to plant a largo German colony along the frontier of Tripoli, This last agreement, it was added, was intend ed to protect the sultan against French encroachments across the Tripoli Tunis frontier and would also avoid granting Germany a concession in Asia Minor, which, it is added, would induce Russia to demand compensa tion. On the other hand, it lias been an nounced that some of the powers have notified Turkey that she will not be permitted to cede any territory to Ger many; and Russia, it was announced from Iierlin last Saturday, was arriv ing at an understanding with Austria and France to provide against the ac complishment of certain Germnn plans in the Orient. IIkykott, Nov. 7.—The emperor and empress of Germany arrived here to day, but they will rcinaiu on board the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern until Monday.

A r«w Pound* of Oil Are round to I.e**eo tbe llitugere of • ferapeO, Nkw Yohk, Nov. 7 —Captain II. Gathemunn, of the North German Lloyd steamship Oldenburg, has just made public the result of experiments with oil and soapsuds in quieting the sea in the vicinity of the ship during a storm. He began Ins experiments In Decem ber, 18U7. on a voyage from Kaltimore to Hremco, and used vegetable or whale oil to good advantage. He al lowed tlie oil to drop from buckets ar ranged in the bow of the ship The waves, which had been breaking over the ship, became remarkably quiet, and the sea within several hundred yards of the ship became calm. The captain used about fj* pounds of oil in an hour during this experiment. In January, ih'js, Captain Gathc mnnn begun trying soapsuds. The mixture consisted of fifteen pounds of green soap and forty pounds of fresh water The soapsuds could be plainly seen floating on the surface of tbe water until a wave struck them and then they quickly disappeared No quieting effect was noticeable on the sea. however, aud when the buckets were empty they were quickly filled with oil and presently the sea again became calm. Captain Gcthcmann reports that lie lias experimented with soapsuds several times during his voyage this year, bnt never found them efficacious. TO MAKE BEET SUGAR.

Nan FrwnrMnn r«l>ilih«ri ta Shut Down on Account of Labor Trouble*. 8an Francisco, Nov. 7.—The stereo type™ in the Report office struck yes terday. The employes of the Post and liulletin remained in their placoa all the afternoon, but these papers waited for the Report. It was 5:3u before the Report's plates could be made ut the liulletin office and sent down to the Examiner office to bo printed. At that hour all three afternoon papers appeared, and there was a wild scram ble for them by the waiting newsboys. The men in the morning paper press rooms have been ordered out by the union, but it is not certain that they will all go. The pressmen count on the sympathy of the stereotypere to help them win their tight, and may try to involve all the mechanical de partments of the papers. The members of the Publishers' as sociation declare that they will stand by the|r agreement not to publish their papers unless all the others cun publish, and it is very probable that the people of bun Francisco will have to go without newsduriug the election time. The pressmen demand an increase of wages and have submitted a sched ule which the newspapers decline to accept. The increased wage would amount to about f40,000 a year to the newspapers. About seventy-five men are employed in the newspaper press rooms in this city. HALF WERE SICK. Copulation Around (jllira MufTcrlog From Smallpox, Santiago, Nov. 7.—-I)r.

He went immediately to work and sys tematically isolated the houses, insist ing on the regiment (the Second im munes) being candied in a healthful location near the sea. /Kvery effort will be made to prevent Hie American and Spanish soldiers from fraternizing, us tiie Spaniards come from Holguin, about thirty seven miles from Gibarn, and are lia ble to carry infection. The whole country between the two towns is thickly populated, and the plague is scattered all along the route. Medical supplies are badly needed, also delicacies for the convalescents, and the situution offers an excellent opportunity for nurses and doctors of the Ked Cross. t’rgo More Polling Place* St. Lotus, Mo., Nov. 7.—Chairmen Akins and Cook yesterday gave out tiie following statement to their respec tive party representatives over the state: “Complications growing out of the change in tiie Missouri election law, by which the number of tickets to be handled has so greatly increased as to make it in many instances a physical impossibility for the election judges to write their initials on the ballots, as required by law, prompts us to urge the chairman of our respective county committees in each county to join in a request to th county court to convene Monday and establish such additional polling places as the num ber of voters may require. It is our opinion that the use of rubber stamp fac simile signatures would raise such complications as might invalidate the election. We therefore recommend that such stamp fac s:mile signatures be not used, but that the county court establish the necessary polliug places in each county. Ship Hum* at Nrs.

The special dispatches from Paris re peat the semi-official statement that the evaeuation of Fushoda is accepted in principle, but thnt other stations in the liahr-El-Uliazal region will be maintained. A semi-official note, issued last even ing, relative to the reports of a settle ment of the Fasboda question says: "The matter is substantially in the same position as when the blue book and yellow book were published. It is not anticipated that France will take further action until Major Mar chand's arrival at Cairo on Thursday, when explanations will bo forthcom ing as to his reason for leaving Fa shoda. ” Oeneral Hanger Tontine*. Lexington, Ky., Nov. 4.—The first witness before tho war investigation commission was General Joseph P, Hanger, who lias had commaud of the third division. He said tho second division camp at Chiokamauga was badly located, being in rocky ground where sinks could not be deeply dug. ** When asked why tho quartermaster’s department could not furnish articles necosary for supplying the army, General Hanger said: “Tho complex system of furnishing supplies to our army is at fault. If there was one de partment to supply all wants of tho army there would bo no clashes and these complications could not arise. At Chickamauga the control of my ^ division hospital was taken from me and given to the chief surgeon of the corps. “I believe General Ilrooke tried to do all he could to bring the camp to a good sanitary condition, but he was surrounded by a medical board which did not appreciate the serious condi tion of affairs. Dr. Iliiidckopcr espe cially thought Dr. Griffith was un necessarily alarmed. I)r. Griffith in sisted that arose diagnosed us typhoid malarial fever was in realty typhoid fever. He examined Chickamauga creek where the intake was located. An engineer officer examined it and pronounced it bad." Not Proparly Supplied. Santiago be Cuba, Nov. 4.—The United Htalcs transport Port Victor was to have left yesterday at noon for the United Htatcs with a number of sick officers and men. Fortunately, just before the hour fixed for her de parture, General Wood, military gov ernor of the department of Hantiago, went on board. To his amazement, ho found no provisions specially suitable to sick persons, an entire luck of deli cacies and an insufficiency of medical supplies. General Wood declares that here after he will pay a personal visit to every transport before it leavos the harbor. He thinks it very strange < that, after all the experience had here in thin line, the medical department in not able to manago its uffairs better, and that tho personal supervision of the commanding general should be ne cessary, Kyle Kepntllntos Ills Party.

Although still an independent, he will oppose the fusion until the state has been redeemed from the element that now controls the party. He charges his Populist colleagues in Con gress with being unpatriotic in not supporting President McKinley in the war against a common foe.
