Favors Nicaragua Route, By
Which Canal Would Cost
$189,864,062—Figures Relative
to Panama Route Are
Smaller, But Commission Fa
vors Nicaragua—Report Goes
'■ to Congress—President Sub
mits New Canal Treaty.
Washington. Deo. 4.—The report of
the Isthmian Oanal Commission was
sent to Congress today. The commis
sion favors the Nioarauga route, and
makes an estimate of $180,804,063 as
total oost of the construction of the
canal through Nioarauga. The esti
mated cost of the Panama ronte is $144,-
384,858, but the report RayB it would
cost $100,141,000 to obtain the Panama
oonoession.
The commission values the work a’-
ready done at $40,000,000. The report
says the Panama route is feasible us a
sea level canal, while the Nioarauga
route must be by looks, but that Lake
Nioarauga will furnish an inexhausti
ble supply of water for the canal. The
Nlcaranga route has no natural harbors
on either end, but satisfactory harbors
may be constructed. Harbors already
exist at eaoh end of the Panama ‘route,
but considerable work must be done at
the entrance of the harbor on the At
lantic side.
With adequate foroe and plant, the
commissio'nestinmtes thaltheNicaragua
oane! oah be completed fin six years.
Ten year^pro estimated to complete the
Pauama oanal. The tu4l length of the
Nicaragua rou* j will bo 183 miles, and
of the Panama ioui,e 4b. The estimated
cost of operating apd maintaining the
Nicaragua canal annually is $350,000
greater than that of the Panama canal.
It is estimated that a deep draught ves
sel could pass through the Panama canal
in twelvo hours, and through the Nica
ragua canal in S3 hours. The Nicaragua
route, the report says, is more advan
tageous for oommeroe. For gulf ports,
the advantage would be two days and
for most of the ports on the Atlantio' and
Pacific! oceans one day. The Nicaragua
route is said to be better for sailing ves
sels on aocount of^favorable winds.

There are people who say that the
benefit derived from the use of put-up
medicines is imaginary. It is not the
case with Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion, which makes weak women strong
and sick women well. A woman may
imagine she’s weak, or may fancy she’s
sick, but her imagination can't add forty
pounds to her weight. The positive
proof of the curative power 6f « Favorite
Prescription w is found in the restoration
of health which is recorded in face and
form, of strength which can be tested,
and weight which can be registered in
pounds and ounces.
The general health of women is so
intimately connected with the local
health of the womanly organs that
when these are diseased the whole body
suffers loss. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription cures womanly diseaaeo. It
establishes regularity, stops weakening
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera
tion and cures female weakness.
W I am very glad to let other poor sufferers
know what Dr. Pierce’s medicines have done
for mo.” writes Mrs. Edwin H. Gardner, of
Beech wood. Norfolk Co., Mass. (Bor 70.) "You

WRECK IN THE YARD.
House Adjourned Todsy lo Meet Again on
Friday—The House Committee on Rules
Announced by the Speaker—Richardson
and Underwood the Democratic Members,
Two Plant System Freight Cars Bunged up
This Morning.
From Wednesday's Daily Herald.
Two Plant System freight cars fig
ured in a smashup this morning about
10 o’clock. Itocoarred in tbe yard ad
joining the Plant freight depot, and
was witnessed by a number of persons
on Washington aDd Flint streets.
An engine was backing into the yard
pushing a string of a dozen box oars.
The engineer’s vision was obstructed by
a great pile of wood on the tender, and
he was relying on signals from train
hands or yard employes. As the result
of some misunderstanding, the line of
cars was pushed back too rapidly,
bringing about the wreck.
There is a great pile of earth and a
buttress of heavy timbers at the Flint
street end of eaoh of the tracks in the
yard. One of the cars smashed against
the buttress and demolished it, and ran
up the high mound of earth. For a
moment the car stood directly on end,
then came down with a terrifio crash,
missing the trucks and making a great
smashup. The car next to it was also
considerably damaged, but did not leave
its tracks. Several, pedestrians were
on the sidewalk within a few feet of
the wreck when it occurred, and these
were seen to scamper for safety with
out wasting any time.
Washihgton, Deo 8.—In anticipation
of the receipt of the first message of
President Roosevelt the members of the
senate today assembled early in the sen
ate chamber and in the cloak rooms ad
joining. The galleries of the senate
were well filled with interested specta
te rs.
There was a very good attendance
also in the galleries of the house when
Speaker Heuderson called the house to
order at noon.
On motion of Mr. Payne, the floor
leader of the majority, it,was agreed
that when the honse adjourned today it
be to meet on Friday.
The Speaker announced the appoint
ment of the committee on rales as fol
io ivs: Henderson, of Iowa; Dalsell, of
Pennsylvania; Grosvenor, of Ohio; Rich
ardson, of Tennessee, and Underwood,
o- Alabama.
HOW THE MESSAGE WA£ RECEIVED.
President Roosevolt’s message was
read before both honses of Congress to
day. Despite the disagreeableness of
the inclement weather the gal
leries of the Senate and House
were crowded. Immediately after the
general business of the konseand senate
had been transacted the message was
presented to the two houses by Maj. O.
L Pruden, assistant secretary to th;
president, and was read by the clerks of
the honse and senate.
The strictest attention was paid to the
reading of the message, hardly a mem
ber of either honse leaving his seat dur
ing the time It was being delivered.
Passages of the message evoked mur
murs of approval, the portioh relating
to anarchy bringing forth the warmest
applause.
II. S. GUNBOAT BDSY.
New York, Deo. 5.—The oottOn market
opened Bteady with prices three to six
points lower on near months on aocoant
of depressing Liverpool oables, and bnt
one to two points higher on far months
On aooonnt of aotive commission baying
and the argent demand from the bear

On the nptarn prominent Wall street

Many other longs sold oat for profits.
Receipts are free at the ports and the
