DANGER OF QUAKES.
Ono of Chief Reasons forlCommltteo
Favoring Sea Level Canal.
Washington, May 18. That the
ewthqunke that destroyed San Francis
co helpod determine tho voto of the
senato committee on intoroceanlo canals
In favor of a soa levol type 1b apparent
from tho fact that a feature of the ma-
Jority report is a discussion of tho
effect earthquakes might have on locks
and dams. The majority report In
favor of a sea levol canal was submitted
today by Senator Kittredgo.
The report says that the canal struc
tures would bo exposed to injury by
earthquakes, particularly the locks at
Gatun. If the lock walls should bo
moved, leakage would result and the
gtos would be useless. In case of
fracture of locks, months or years
might be required for repairs, and
meanwhile traffic would bo Interrupted.
It is maintained that the dam at
Gamboa proposed by the majority of
the board Of consulting ono-innm-a. i
not liable to Injury by earthquakes, for
It will be built on a solid rock founda
tion, reinforced with strong walls and
buttressed at each end with walls of
rock, hot aro the Bide slopes of tho
Culobracut likely to bo disturbed,
but an earth dam on an alluvial base
might bo cracked, draining the lock
and ruining tho canal. Tho committee
says:
"At San Francisco, where tho water
pipos woro brokon, tho disatter was
greatly augmented by this came, for
the water could not be hold in tho
pipoi and directed on tho llamos. What
would happen to tho aquoduct, con-
nulls, pipes and valves, burled in tho
concrete walls, used for filling and
emptying tho locks, cannot bo well
conjectured."
It Is stated that ships of nil classes
could bo passed through tho sea level
canal in 8H hours less than tho tlmo
that would be consumed In passing
ships through locks alono. Tho cost of
annual maintenance is estimated nt
$1,8-10 000 for the sea level and $2,
330,000 for the lock type. A sea level
canaUrco from all obstacles could pass
100 warships in leBs than a dav. Naval
commanders and commercial shipmas
ters oppose locks.
The majority arguos that an onemy
could destroy a lock canal much easier
ilan a sea level canal with explosives.
Tho cost of a sea level canal is estimat
ed at $2fiO,O0O,G00, whllo the total cost
of tho lock ranal would bo at least
1100,000,000, and tho cost of trans
forming the latter Into a soa lovol canal
would bo 1200,000,000. Tho conclu
sion1 of tho majority is "that the sea
level canul can bo realized In 10 or 12
years nt n cost not excoeding $00,000,
000 above that required by tho con.
struction of tho multilock canal pro
posed by tho minority."
