The New Canal, by Treaty, Must
Be Under Joint Control.
NEW COMPLICATION RAISED.
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.

WAR INQUIRY TESTIMONY.
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.

FORMED AN ARMED ALLIANCE.
A Hrrret Treaty Is halt! to Have llarn

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

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.

PAPERS STAND TOGETHER.

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.

St. Lotus, Mo., Nov. 7.—Chairmen
Akins and Cook yesterday gave out tiie
following statement to their respec

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.

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,

Adem>kkx, H. D., Nov. 4.—United
Slates Senator J. II. Kyle, in an inter
view in the News to-day says: “I re
pudiate the Populist party manage
ment in this state."
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. He says:
“I am an Amuricun citizen; proud of
our country, proud of our President,
proud of our army and navy and proud
of our tlag, and as long os I have
breath to enst a vote it shall be re
corded for my country, coine what
will."
