VI, Sited rnMMISSION i THE NICARAQUA ROUTE. Report and Recommendation As to the " Isthmian Caul Sabaltted to the Coarress. - By Telegraph to the Horning; star. " - Washington, Dec. 4. The report of the Isthmian Canal Commission was ient to Congress to-day. The com miasion, as -anticipated several weeks tgo, farors the Nicaragua route and makes an estimate of $189,864,063 as the total cost of construction of the canal through Nicaragua. The esti mated cost of the Panama route is $144,233,858, but the report says it would cost $109,141,000 to obtain the Panama concession. The commission values the work done at $40,000,000. The report says the Panama is feasible as a sea level canal, while the Nicara gua route must be by locks, but that Lake Nicaragua will furnish an inex haustible supply of water for the canal. The Nicaragua route has no natural harbors at either end, but satisfactory harbors may be constructed. Harbors already exist at each end of the Pana ma route, but considerable work must be done at the entrance of the harbor on the Atlantic side. With adequate force and plant, the commis sion estimates that the- Nicaragua canal can be completed in six years, exclusive of two years for preparation. Ten years is the estimate to complete the Panama canal. The total length of the Nicaragua . route is 183.66 miles and the Panama route 49.09 miles. The estimated cost of operating and maintaining the Nica ragua canal annually is $1,850,000 greater than that of the Panama canal. The estimated time for a deep draught vessel to pass through the Panama canal is twelve hours and through the Nicaragua canal thirty-three hours. The Nicaragua route, the report says, is more advantageous for commerce save that originating on the west coast of South America.. For the Gulf ports the advantage is two days, and for most of? the ports - on the At lantic and Pacific, one day. The Nicaragua route is said to be better for sailing vessels on account of favoring winds. Hygienic conditions also 'favor Nicaragua. The commission ays the United States should ac quire control of a strip of territory ten miles wide, from sea to sea, to build the canal, f The consent of Nicaragua and Costa Rica must be ob tained to construct the canal, but the report says this can easily be secured. The concessions granted by the Co lombian government to the Panama Canal Company have many years to run and new concessions cannot be granted the United. States. The re port concludes aa follows: "After considering all the facts developed by the investigations made by the commission, the actual situa tion as it now stand, and having in view the terms offered by the new Panama Canal Company, this com mission is of the opinion that the most practicable and feasible route for an isthmian canal, to be under control,; management and ownership of the United States, is that known as the Nicaragua route. BRITISH SHIP LOST. Turned Turtle and Went to the Bottom I With Her Entire Crew. ' By Telegraph to tbe Moraine star, . Astoria, Ore., December 4. The bar tug Tatoosh, which has just re turned to port, reports that the British ship Nelson, Captain Peckam, turned turtle last night and went to the bot tom with her entire crew. The Nel son le(t Astoria November 25. Mon day night she was back at the river's mouth and yesterday was reported to have shifted her cargo. 8he had a bad list to starboard and could go on only bne tack. Yesterday morning the tug Tatoosh went out and picked up the Nelson, passing a hawser. The tug started off shore with the ship, owing to the gale. It was the intention of Captain Bailey, of the Tatoosh, to re main with the ship during the night. The gale that raged last night was too severe for the vessel to withstand and she broke from the tug and. then turned turtle, sinking at once. In the darkness it was impossible for the tug to render assistance to the members of the crew who were not carried down, and all perished. The Nelson carried a crew of twenty-eight men all told. She was an old wooden vessel. She had a cargo of lumber lor Cape Town, Africa. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. BUI Introduced in the Senate by Senator Lodge to Provide Revenue. .

' Waterway The New Hay Paancefote Treaty. By Telegraph to tne Morning star. Washington, Dec 4. Practically theentire time of the Senate to-day was devoted to the introduction of bills and resolutions which will form the basis of legislation for the session. Two of these measures, relating to the suppression of . anarchy .and dealing with anarchists, were allowed to lie on the table so that their author, Mr. Vest of Missouri, may bring them to the early attention of the Senate. The isthmian canal report was transmit ted to the Senate by the President and several billa providing for the con-t struction of the waterway one of them by Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who has led the movement for the canal in the past were presented. Senator Tillman, 8outh Carolina, secured the passage of the House reso lution admitting free of duty foreign exhibits to the Charleston Exposition. At 2:10, on motion of Senator Cul lum, the Senate went into executive session, and at 3:35 adjourned. The President sent to the Senate to day the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty for an isthmian canal. In executive session the new Hay Pauncefote treaty was received and referred to the Com mittee on Foreign Relations. No re marks were made appropos of its pre sentation. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, intro duced the Anti-trust bill whish passed the House during the. last session of Congress but failed to pass the Senate. As introduced by the Arkansas Sena tor the bill is unamended. Two bills looking to the construc tion of an isthmian canal via the Nica ragua route, were introduced in the Senate. The first of these waa present ed by Senator Morgan and is as fol lows: "That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby authorized to acquire from and to conclude agree ments with the States of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, or either of them, for and m Denair of tne united States, for the full control of such portion of the territory now belonging to Costa Rica and Nicaragua as may be desira ble or necessary on which to excavate. construct, govern, regulate, police and protect a canal of such depth and ca pacity as will be sufficient for the movements of ships of the greatest ton nage and draft now in use, from a point near Greytown, on the Caribbean sea, via Lake Nicaragua to Brete, on the Pacific ocean ; and such sum as may be necessary to- secure necessary rights, privileges and such control ia hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated." The other bill was introduced by Senator Perkins. This provides for a perpetual lease by the United States of the right of way across Nicaranga and Costa Rica and confers military police and sanitary palice control of the canal route by the United States. It makes an appropriation of $120, 000,000, of, which sum $13,000,000 is to be expended annually. A non-partisan commission is to be appointed by the President to have charge of the construction of the canal, the mem bers of the commission to be selected from different parts of the United States, and to be paid' $10,000 salary each per year. The appointment of engineers also is authorized. It is fur ther provided that the canal ahall be of the dimensions recommended by the Isthmian Canal Commission. The bill authorizes the President of the United states to make minor changes in the route adopted for the canal and the methods of its construction.

COUPLE ARRESTED IN WILSON Description of the Woman Detained Does Not at All Aaswer to That of the Missing Young Lady-The River Searched by a Diver. By Toieerajm to tne Morning star New York, Dec. 4. Judge Andrew G. Cropsey, of this city, received a telegram this afternoon telling him that his niece, Ella Cropsey, had been found in Wilson, N. O., mad had been identified by her father. ' Miss Cropsey disappeared from , her home in Elizabeth City, N. C, on Not. 20th, and it waa feared that she had been abducted and hidden in the Dismal Swamp. The. case attracted wide attention. Charlotte. N. C . Dec. 4. A special to tbe Observer from Wilson, N. C-, to night says: Mondsv a couple, giving the names of Mr. and Mrs. Mackay Durham, stopped at Ward's boarding house here. Monday evening uurnam was fonnd drank and disorderly on the streets and locked up, and remained in the town guard house throughout the night No suspicion rested on the parties and Tuesday, when Durham was sooer, ne was reieasea irom cu tody and he, with his supposed wife, left in a hurry for-Naahville, N. O. The Couple Arrested. At tim 4nninM th tnwn author ities suspicioned the couple as the Elizabeth , City couple, Miss Nellie Cropsey and Mr. Durham, who dis appeared from that city on Wednes day night, November 21st They were pursued by two of the city's police force on eacn roaa leading out ui wiiinn nn tn Tnrknv creek, about fif teen miles north of here. There hey were arrested Dy ronwuwu eoiwu and Bryant and brought back to town this morning. Miss Tyer, wno waa a piaymnie ui vr;.. Mollis rVnnanv for four vears. mi whn nrtw at school here, was called on to identify Miss Cropsey. Bbetestmea mas ior-iour jira.u. has not seen her. but tbe girl in cus tody resembles Nellie very much; that wnen sne Knew ner, ner nur w lanvthv that hnr- features were identi cally the name." Now Miss Cropsey haa hair a great aeai snorter, sou u Tyer did not at once recognize her, but was sure it was Miss Cropsey, in her opinion. Denies that She Is Miss Cropsey. Before the authorities this afternoon the young, woman said she was a Miss Kersey, and was raised on a truck farm near Chattanooga, Tenn., and that her mother haa been married the second time, and is now bearing the name of Mrs. Elizabeth Clark. Whether she is Mis Cropsey or not is yet to be learned, but If not. she evidently desires to keep her affairs secret. She will be held In-custody until parties arrive from Elizabeth City. The alleged Miss Cropsey says she has only been married a few days, and seems to be deeply distressed. She appears to be about seventeen years f age, is good looking and has an lntel lieent face, with clear speech, and while ling questioned by Mayor Herring, stated many things contra dictory to Durham's statements. She gave her home aa Raleigh and Chatta nooga. The young lady denies having been to Speed or Washington, but said that they had been to Newborn, Plymouth and Bath. It aeemn her memory ia Tery short, as she does not remember names of places she had re cently Yiaited. When she was asked whether or not ahe knew Mr, Wilcox, ahe stated that ahe did not, but after pausing for a moment said she be lieved she had heard of him. Evi dently thia woman ia Miss Cropsey or some one who does not Intend any body to know any particulars con cerning her affairs. Wilson is about 200 miles from Elizabeth City, by rail, therefore the statement that the girl has been Identi fied byher father ia probably incor rect. -1 . Chattanoo&a, Tews., Dec 4.

Not the Missing Girl. Elizabeth City, N. 0., De cember 4. The news from Wil son, N. C, of tbe detention there of a woman partially identified as Miss Nellie Cropsey has created lit tle interest here among the girl's fam ily or officials of the town. It is be- lieved here that this same woman and her companion were examined at 8peed, N. C, by an agent of Chief of Police Dawson several days ago and found not to be Miss Cropsey. though resembling her in a general way. An expert diver spent the day searching the bottom of the river above the pier near the Cropsey house in the hope of finding the body, but discov ered nothing. No clue of value has yet been found, and the strange case is practically in the same position it was the day after the girl disappeared. At 8:45 to night Chief of Police Dawson received a telegram from the chief of police of Wilson, N. C, giv ing a description of the Durham wo man. It does not at all answer to Nellie Cropsey's description. . DEMOCRATIC PLATFORMS. Opinion of National Committeeman As to the McClellau Reeolntions. By Telezraoli to tbe Moraine Star. Lakewood. N. J. Dec. 4. National Committeeman Norman E. Mack, of New York, said to-day with reference to the McClellau and Fitzgerald reso lutions that the Democratic national platform of 1900 would stand until a new one was made, and nothing .but harm and disruption to the party could' come from any attempt to change it until it is done by the repre sentatives of all Democrats in the national convention in 1904, for unless the Democrats of the Eastern States stand by the last declaration of the party, dominated by the Southern and Western States there would be no good reason why the South and West should abide by the national platform domi nated by the Eastern States in 1904 if they should succeed in controlling and dominating the convention . . ALIEN ANARCHISTS. Bill Introduced In the Senate for Their Exclusion and Deportation, By Telecrapn to tne Horninast ar. Washington, Dec. 4. Senator Bur rows to-day introduced a bill "to pro vide for the exclusion and deportation of alien anarchists." The first section of the bill is as follows: "That no foreign anarchists - shall hereafter be permitted to land at any port of tbe United States, or admitted into the United States; but this prohi bition shall not be construed as to apply to political refugees or political offenders other than such anarchists.'' The other sections of the bill provide machinery for the enforcement of this prohibition. leren Tmh In Btd. "Will wonders ever cease!" in quire the friends of Mrs. L. Pease, of Lawrence. Kas.
