' -i ESTIMATE "BASED ON THE LARGER Senator Morgan Estimates That the Excavating on the Big Ditch Can Be Done for 100,000,000. . Washington, Dec. 29. Copies of the preliminary report r.f the Nicaragua ca nal commission, of which Admiral Walker is bairman,bave been furnished Senator Morgan and others interested in the bill now pending in congress on that subject. Three routes are sjoken of; namely The old low level, the high level, or Menocal route, and the intermediate route, and all of these. Senator Morgan savs. the commission considers feasible of construction. ' For the purposeof arriving at an esti mate of probable maximum cost,' the commission submitted figures on the low Uvei route, which the- senator says is considered the longest and most ex pensive. For this route Admiral Walk er estimates the cost will be $124,000,000 and Professor Haupt $123,000,000, while General Haines added twenty per cent to the figures because of various condi- tions, chiefly the question of the cost of labor, which he thought it was impose! ble to figure definitely. The report, says the senator, shows conclusively that the project is an en tirely feasible one, and that in its con struction thegorvernment has the choice of any of the three routes The senator believes, however, that all of these figures are high, and expresses the belief that $100,000,000 will cover the entire cost of construction LITTLE SAVED FROM TERESA Only About Four Hundred Dollars Worth of Property Recovered. Washington, Dec. 28. Not much of value has been obtained from the wreck of the Infanta Mai ie Teresa, according to a report from United States Consul McLain, at Nassau, who was charged by the state department with the task of recovering such of the property as could be saved. His report just received at the navy department, shows that the marshal of the admiralty court had gathered a lot of miscellaneous articles, such as pieces of ropes, boxes of candles, groceries, canned goods, lanterns, etc. The valuation placed upon them was $400, half of which sum would, under the law, belong to the salvers. The con sul reported that he should withhold from sale an American flag, and in ap proving his recommendation to that ef fect, the navy department cabled him also to preserve with the American flag a British ensign which was among the articles recovered. ' Drydock on Columbia. WA8HiNGTON,Dec.27. Senator McBride has offered an amendment to the naval bill, which provides for the construction of a stone drydock on the Columbia river and appropriates $200,000 for immediate use in beginning the work. ' According to the provisions of the amendment, the dock shall be 700 feet in length, and its other dimensions shall be sncb as to accommodate the largest vessels in the regular or auxiliary navy, either-existing at the present time, or likely to be con structed in the future.' The cost of the dock when completed is not to 'exceed $1,025,000. Provision is also made for a board of naval officers, to be appointed by the secretary of the navy, to select a suitable location for the dock, $1000 being set aside to defray the expenses of such a board. Roberts Likely to be Expelled. New Tobe, Dec. 29. A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: Representative-elect Roberts, the Mor man congressman from Utah, will prob ably be confronted upon his arrival at Washington to take his seat in the 56th congress by a proposition of expulsion because of his alleged polygamous practices. Some of the ablest consti tutional lawyers in the house who have studied this now celebrated case declare there is nothing in the constitution of the United States to prevent Mr. Rob- tan-ta trrm raking Ma seat, bnt thev add that the house, by a two-thirds vote, may expel him on the gronnd that he is living in violation of the general laws which govern the TJnJted States. WORK OF AN INCENDIARY Senator Fulton's Seaside Cottage De stroyed By Fire. . . ' Astoria, Dec. 28. Word was received from Seaside today pf the destruction by fire of C. W. Fulton's summer residence at that Dlace. The flames were first discovered about 2:20 this morning, The whole building was enveloped at the time, and within a few minutes it and the contents were in ruins; nothing being saved. How the fire originated is not known, but as the house was an occupied and there had been neither fire nnm lttit in if far anmn timA it in , thonght to the work of an incendiary. The cottage was one of the most pre tentions at the beach. It was built last summer at a cost of $1200, and contained furniture yalued at about $700. There was no insurance. ' Sheriff Williams left this afternoon to investigate the matter, and if poseible apprehend the guilty parties. ' -' Garcia's Daughter Dead. ; Thomasville, Ga., Dec. 27. Miss Mercedes Garcia,' daughter of the late Calixto Carcia, the Cuban leader, died atthe . Masuni hotel, in this city, this evening, of consumption. Mrs. Garcia and her two daughters arrived here the day General Garcia died in Washington, and while at dinner received intelligence of the death of the bead of the family. The contents of the telegram were never revealed to Miss Mercedes, who was at that time '.failing rapidly. All the members of the Garcia family at present in the country were at the bedside of Miss Mercedes when the end came. The body will be embalmed and taken to Cuba on the warship which the United States has designated to convey the re mains of General Garcia back to his native country. Orecon and Iowa Honored. New York, Dec. '27. The Herald's correspondent at Callao telegraphed that the arrival of the United States battle ships Oregon and Iowa at that port has caused the greatest excitement and en thusiasm. They entered the harbor at 7 o'clock in the morning and great crowds went out to see them during the day. Delegations representing the Cuban. residents of -Peru went to Callao to meet the warships. They presented to each a gold plate. With the - name changed, each bore the inscription : 'All honor to the commander, the offi cers and crew of the United States war ship Oregon, victorious in the naval combat off Santiago de Cuba on the 3d day of July, 1898. This plate is given as a testimonial of the patriotic gratitude of all Cuban citizens of Pern." Buried By Avalanche. London, Dec. 28. Pari of Red Rock mountain, according to a dispatch from Airolo, a village of Switzerland, canton of Ticino, has fallen into Airolo, destroy ing a hotel and several houses. The scene of the disaster presents a terrible spectacle, the debris of the avalanche covering a square mile. Tne hotel, with eight bonses, and 12 other buildings, were swept into a great heap of match wood. A new terror was added bv the outbreak of fire amid the ruins. Three dead bodies have been recovered. It is estimated that the damage will reach $40,000. Admiral Sampson's Daughter to Wed. Gleneidqe, N. J., Dec. 26. The ar rangements tor the wedding of Miss Olive Farrington Sampson, daughter of Rear-Admiral W. T. Sampson, and Henry Harrison Scott, of San Francisco, which will take place January 4, at' the Glenridge Congregational church, have been completed. The ceremony is to take place at 8 o'clock. . Two Pointed Questions Answered Wbat is the use of -making a better article than your competitor it you can not get a better price for it? Ans. As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single scale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the ' public to know your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominent ly before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and rise only the better one. This explains the large sale on Cham berlain's Congh remedr. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take np with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that thy know to be. reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Congh Remedy.
