The Nlcarnsrua Caoal Commission Makes Its Re.xjrt.

WaalitDglon. Nov. 25.—A serious blow has been dealt the Nicaraguan Cana' company's project for the construction of a waterway across the Isthmus by the report of the Nlcaragi.n ; canal commission. Inevitable delay and r further and more thorough Inv* stlgatlc.i of the entire subject aro declared to be necessary before even the englneerb-g feasibility of any canal across Nicaragua can be decided
upon.
A review of the contents and the text of the conclusions of the report of the Nicaraguan canal commission became public Monday morning. This report Is now lying on the presldem's desk, and Is now being considered 1 y hint In connect ion with his annual message to congress. The report Is at such variance with the numerous rumors and predictions which havs from time to time been published concerning It. that It will cause great surprise and disappointment among those who have hoped for u generally favorable report, and who have, therefore, placed credence In these rumors, which usually stated, "on the highest authority,'' that the commission luvored the route proposed by the company, and placed the cost of the canal at about $1 IU.0Ui>,0uU. On the contrary, the report points out that It Is neither practicable nor advisable to attempt the construction of the Nicaragua canal upon the data at present available, and that the undertaking would be Iraught with hazards too obvious to disregard. That the necessary knowledge may be had of the physral and typographical conditions affecting the construction and maintenance of a canal across Nicaragua, upon which to form a tlnal judgment as to the feasibility, permanent e and ccst, the commission recommends an appropriation by congress of JSiXl.UoO lor extensive additional surveys and examinations, covering a period of 18
months.
Etifaiorable to Canal Company. The general trend of the entire report Is certainly very unfavorable to the canal company. The commission refrains from any direct criticism of the company's prospectus, but Its report shows that certain features, which the company has persisted In assuring the public, through congress, were known to be absolutely safe and feasible. If put In execution might Jeopardize the practicability of the whole system, and possibly destroy forever the hope of a canal by means of the Ban Juan river and Lake Nicaragua. The commission considers that too much time and pains were devoted by t.-1 company to ascertaining the topography of the country when it should have paid more attention to the feasibility of the water-way across Nica-
ragua, and Its cost.
Hetter Surveys Are Necessary. The commission refrains from commenting on the company's methods of making Its surveys, and, in a great many cases, the failure to make surveys. Certain features of Us plans are commended The report, however, presents many very Interesting comparative tables, which appear to show the astonishing Insufficiency of the company’s data, the inexplicable smallness of the amount of work It thinks necessary to be done, and consequently a comparatively modest estimate of cost of construction and completion of the canal. The conclusions of the commi ...un are 18 in number. They refer largely to questions involved in the detailed construction of the work. Perhaps the most Interesting portion of the work Is the section which gives u comparative recapitulation of the cost.
