Washington, Dec. 4. The report of
'lie 1-th nain Canal Commission, submit
ted by the president to congress today,
gives as the unanimous conclusion of
that body that "the most practicable and
'easihle route for an isthmian canul under
tle cjtitro', inanagetnent and ownership
')' the United Staies is that known as the
Nicaragua Route.
The commission estimates the cost of
'..'is canal at .'0(;,.J 10,000. This estimate
i' much in excess of any heretofore made
and is due to increased dimensions and
other features not heretofore considered,
fhe commission also estimates the cost
of a canal by the Panama route at 1 VI,-i-!2."i7!,
according to one route, or f 1-V5,
"s,-'r)S according to another route. As
between the Nicaragua and Panama
routes, the commission sums up a num
ber of advantage favorable to the former.
Is states also that under the concessions
iiiven by the government of Columbia
to the Panama Canal Company that
government is not fre to grant the nec
essary rights to the United States ex:ept
'i;fin conditions mad by the company.

Five Masked Men Robbed tbe Western
Lumber Company of Portland of
-j.7-'S.
Ponri.ANi, Or., Dec. 0. Five masked
men, by the exercise of the coolest kind
of nerve and daring, robbed the Western
Lumber Company of I4,2S shortly he
lure 0 o'clock last evening. The deed
was planned and executed with the most
consummate skill. In a Hash the men
had entered the main office of the lumber
company, at the foot of seventeenth
street , compelled ai! the employes to
hold up their hands, dumped the till,
containing the pay envelopes full of
money into a gunny-sack, and vanished
in the darkness and murky fog that ad
mirably covered their retreat. The men
had chosen their time well. It was the
company's monthly payday. 1'be men
on the Dight crew had been almost
entirely paid ofl. In a few minutes the
rush of the day J5,o",kers for. their hard-
earned coin would have commenced.
Between these two times of danger the
masked robbers acted, and acted quietly
and quickly.
lathe private office at the rear were
W. 15. Aver, president of the company,
and M. F. Henderson, vice-president,
who were unaware that the treasury was
being despoiled. Refund the paying
counter in the main office wero II. V.
Hall, cashier, an i Dan Campbell, as
sistant cashier. The latter had just paid
off two emplort'S when the masked men
entered. To a sharp ciy of "Hold up
your bandi, all of you," enforced by the
Moorish of a handy-looking revolver, the
employes complied and stood looking in
blank amizment at the scene before
them. Two men guarded tho exterior.
Ooe short man covered the two employes,
wtiile the other two did the work, (juick
as a fltsh one of the men ran around
back of the paying counter, ready with
his pistol to meet any "gun play" on
the part of the employes. 1 h rough the
paying window itself a gray-headed
robber climbed, graht ed lie till of money
and quickly dumped it into a gunny
sack that his companion held open.
Then all three started to escaj-e.
Meantime there were two diversions
that threatened to break the successful
course of the robbery. Willie Scott, the
office boy, was near the door and at
tempted to dart out and give the alarm.
He slipped and fell and was collared by
one of the intruders and afterward close
ly covered. O e Moe, the yard foreman,
was outside, and saw the robbery going
on. He armed Liniself with a heavy
club and stood wui'ing for the first rob
ler to come out. Rut he, too, came
under the watchful gz of two of the
members of the party. He was com
pelled to throw up his hands and to drop
the club, with which he hud contem
plated breaking a few heads and saving
the company' nnmey. When these
dilnVnltieS were overcome, the party
vanished as mysteriously a ll.ey came.
No trace of their vi-it w is left save the
absence of the coin. T'le men wore
black and white ina-ki but there was
no clew as to their i.
identity.

MOT. BY ACCIDENT
Startling Story of tbe Death of Barnes
tbe Stockman Object of Mnrder,
Robbery Several Persons Sus
pected of the Crime, Bnt So Ar
rests Made.
Lakeview, Or., Dec.
Barnes, whose body was
5. William
loond near
Wagontire mountain, Harney county,
October IS, and whose death was at
tributed to an accident, was undoubted
ly murdered, the c.bject of the murderers
being robbery. This conclusion is war
ranted by facts s far ascertained. Sev
eral persons are suspected of the crime,
but no arrests have been made.
Barnes, who was a prominent stock
man, was engaged in business at Hawton
Cutte, near Wugontire Mountain, Harney
county, was found dead near the moun
tain. It was alleged then that his horse,
while he was riding over the range, had
fallen with him and tho fall caused his
death. The story was related in about
tiie following manner:
On October 1 Mr. Barnes started for
a day's ride on the range, and as hit did
not return when expected, some near-by
neighbors began a seaic!'., and dicovered
bis horse grazing in an adjicent field,
saddled and bridled as when he was
ridden hy Barnes. Several parties were
notified of the fact and a vigorous search
was niadu hii'h resulted in t he finding
of young Barnes' body some distance
from his premises. It was immediately
surmUed thai his horse had fallen upon
him aud inflicted ii juries that caused
instant death.
Developments, however, indicate an
altogether diU'erent cause of death. It is
well known that Barnes was furnished
financial aid by his uncle a few yeats
ago to enter into the horse business,
which proved to be a successful venture,
and he was prospering, and was known
to have had some money about his per
son about the time of his death. When
his body was found the vest he wore was
missing and his pockets bad been re
lieved of their contents. A search was
made for the missing garment, which
proved fruitless.
Shortly after the remain had been re
moved to Prinevide, Crook County, for
interment, Barnes' house was entered by
thieves anil several articles taken there
from. This outrage brought about inves
tigation and the guilty parties, presuma
bly becoming alarmed, returned the
stolen properly, leaving it in a woodpile
where it was alterwards found. Recent
ly the vest Barnes wore was found near
the tcene of the tragedy, dry and un
harmed, with his pocketbook containing
S5 anil an empty buckskin purse. These
articles had evidently been dropped
there after Barnes' death and the find
ing of his body.
It is now believed and openly stated
that a cold-blooded murder for the pur
pose of robbery was committed. Sus
picion has been placed onceitain parties
who reside in the vicinity, but owing to
a lack of evidence the names of the sus
pected characters are withheld. If the
parties should be arrested and found
guilty they will lie made to pay the
penalty of a dastardly crime, for Barnei
ha 1 many warm friends and acquaint
ances. Tair. Almnst Wlpeil Out.
Wasiiixiitov, Dec. 5. The revenue
reduction bill has been completed by
the republican members of the ways
and means committee, and Chairman
Payne will introduce it before the close
of the session today. It is understood
in addition to the abolition of tbe stamp
taxes on telegrams express receipts and
patent medicine which had been hereto
fore rexrted, will Ite the reduction of
the beer tax to l.t0. The present
tax Is 1 per barrel, with a 7'4 per cent
rebate to 8 "t, so that the reduction
will be 2" cents per barrel. Chairman
Payne ha I t ailed a meeting of the full
ways and m-ans committee fur tomor
row 10 consider the hill.
Tbe decision concerning beer was ar
rived at nfter some discussion and by a
divided vote. It was first attempted to
make the reduction on tea, and this was
not concurred in. and the question re
"curring to beer, the reduction was de
cided upon. The stamp taxes were al
most entirely wiped out witli the excep
tion of the stamp tax on stocks.

Ciii. auo, Dtc. l. A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
American diplomacy leads th world.
The great powers have practically reached
an agreement as to the basis of future
movements in China, and this basis is
that which was proposed bv Secretary
Hay.
Secretary Hay has cabled Minister
Conger to sign for the United State an
agreement which the minister reached
at Pckin. This agreement was sent to
the home governments for their approval,
and with a single exception every power
has already gabled it representative at
Ptkin to sign the agreement and that
power w ill probably do so tomorrow or
the next fay. Thus the concert of the
powers is preserved and a practical and
national basis of settlement has been
reached at last, thanks to the skill and
firmness of the American secretary of
state.
The chief features of the agreement
are as follows :
"It is stipulated that the punishments
to be meted out to guilty Chinese are as
severe as it is possible for the Chinese
government to administer, but not more
severe. Tho government of China is not
to he asked to do the impossible. It is
expected thai under this ob.igatiun the
government will p.:nish severely eleven
ring-leaders in the ait:cks upon the
legations and in the incitement if anti-
I foreign outrages. Some of theee wili he
beheaded. Others will be banished or
degraded."
If Ureal Britain and Germany had
been permitted to have their way the
dynasty would have been compelled to
behead men who are beyond the reach
of the emperor's government men who
are in the western provinces and in com
mand of military forces suflicient to
protect them. Secretary Hay has from
tho first contended that whiie in justice
ail these heads should be taken off, it is
necessary to catch your hare before cook
ing him, and that is was simply absurd
to require the Chinese government to
decapitate men whom it. could not get
hold of. These guilty officials will be
banished and degraded and thus it w ill
be made impossible for them to return
to positions of power.
It is stipulated in the agreement that
the Chinese government is formally to
admit its liability to the powers for dam
ages and for the expense of military oper
ations. This dene the amount of indem
nity to hit paid each nation is to be ascer
tained afterward by mean of careful in
quiries and estimates. This part of the
plan will rt quire much time, and while,
of course, it w ill give rise toopportunitu
for trouble-making powers to precipitate
new complications, it Is fell thai a great
point has been gained hy making the
amount of indemnity a subject of negotla
tiond, as It should Ije, rather than a pre
liminary condition.
