port to Ccngress With Simple
Letter of Transmittal,
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., Jan. 20. —The Pres
ient toay sent to Congres, with a mes
sage simply transmittal, the supplemen
tal report of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, in which it is unani
mously recommended that the offer of
the new Panama Canal Com
pany to sell all of its rights, property
and unfinished work to the Unit
ed States for $40,000,000 bo accepted.
They orderer the report printed in the
Conßressional Record and also as a doc
ument.
The report gives in full the corre
spondence Which has passed between the
commisstrm and the Panama Canal Com
pany at Paris, which includes a cable
gram. from the President of the board
dated January 9 as follows:
“The new Panama Canal Company de
clares that it is ready to accept for the
totality, without exception, of its prop
erty and rights on the isthmus, the
amount of $40,000,000, the above offer to
remain in force until March 4, 1903.”
The report states' that the “totality”
mentioned In this message includes fif
ty-six parcels of land amounting to 30,-
1)00 acres, which cover nearly all the
ground required for the actual construc
tion of the canal. It also includes 2,431
buildings used for officers’ quarters,
hospitals, storehouses, etc-, also an im
mense amount of machinery consistinß
of floating plants, tugs, dredges, locomo
tives, cars, etc. It also includes all ex
cavation work accomplished upon the
main canal lines amounting to about $50,-
700.000 cubic yards. The value of the
work already done is estimated at $22,-
595.02 S less contingencies estimated at $4,-
679, 005, leaving an agßregate of $27,-
•174,033- The offer also embraces all of
the existing 70,000 shares of the Panama
Railroad and Canal Company except 1,100
shares held by individuals in Europe and
the United States. Against this proper
ty are mortgage bonds amounting to $3,-
439,000. Os this amount the canal com
pany owns $871,000. It also holds in its
treasury $1,064,000, subject to the sale of
cancellation, leaving in the hands of the
public $1,504,000. These bonds bear 4Vfc
per cent, interest. There also are out
standing $996,000 six per cent, sinking
fund bonds. The transfer also will in
clude three passenger and freight steam
ers of 2,000 tons each. The railroad
company owns an undivided half Interest
in the islands of Naos, Culebra, Perieo
and Flamenco, in the Bay of Panama,
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company be
ing the joint owner- Besides its right of
ways- terminal, wharves and considerable
areas of land, it owns nearly the whole
of the town of Colon, the houses there
being constructed under lease.
Summing up the commission finds the |
total value of the property to be as fol
lows:
Excavation work done, $27,171,033,
Panama Railroad stock at par, $6,- !
886,300. j
Trial, $36,360,333.
Add ten per cent to covt’r omissions,
$3,639,667.
Total, $40,1:00.000.
The estimated tost of constructing the
Nicaragua Canal is $45,630,704 more than
the cost of completing the Panama Canal.
The estimated annual cost of maintenance
and operation is $1,300,000 greater at
Nicaragua than at Panama. The Panama
route would be 134.6 miles shorter than
the Nicaragua route from sea to sea,
witn fewer locks and less curvature, both
In degrees and miles. The estimated
time for a deep draft vessel to pass
through the Nicaraguan Canal was placed
at 33 hours as against 12 hours for Pan- |
Pina, these estimates being the time of
actual navigation and not including de
lays for winds, currents or darkness. If
tlie passage were made without interrup- (
tion, about a day could be saved by the
Nicaragua over the Panama route by or- j
dinary steamers handling commerce be- j
tween our Pacific ports and all Atlantic |
ports and about two days by steamers of
the same class trading between our gulf
uerts and north Pacific ports. The time
advantage of the Nicaragua route would j
be less in the case of fast high-powered
s1 earners, the use cf which is increas- i
Between Atlantic ports and the west
coast of South America, the Panama
route has the advantage of about two J
days and between gulf ports and the i
west eor.st of South America, the Panama
route has the. advantage of about one
day. The trade of the western coast of
pouth America is a very important one
which has hitherto been in European
blinds. The ofUr leceived from the new
Panama Canal Company to convey all its
property, including all its interest in the
Panama Railroad to the United States
' will make the estimated cost of the two
canals as follows:
Niraragi'.a, $181*,864,062: Panama, $131,-
233.358.
Th»> transfer would give title to all the
land now held by both the Panama Canal
Company and the Panama Railroad Com
pany. which cov.-is nearly all lands re
quired for the construction of the canal.
The land held by private parties at Nica
ragua must be acquired and its acquisi
tion may prove expensive.
The question whether the new Panama
Canal Company can make a purchaser a
valid title to the property formerly be
longing to the old company, its predeces
sor. is considered at length. The canal
company is absolutely prohibited to cede
or mortgage its rights under any coosid
eration whatever to any nation or foreign
government under penalty of forfeiture.
The contract with the railroad company
contains a like prohibition and declares
further that the pain of forfeiture will
i he incurred by the mere act of attempt
ing to cede or transfer its privileges to
la foreign government and such an act is
I declared absolutely null and of no value
or effect, but for the purpose of per
mittting the new Panama Canal Com
pany to enter upon the negotiations
which have resulted in the present offer,
Colombia has waived these prohitions
and has authorized the company to treat
directly with the United States with a
view to the use and occupation of the
territory of the former for canal pur
poses if opr government should select
the Panama route for an isthmian canal.
After the old company failed a
liquidator was appointed by the French
c ourt to take charge of its property and
affairs- When the new company was
formed he was authorized to contribute
to it the rights, privileges, plans, docu
! ments.. plant and unfinished work in the
| hands and under his control, and in con
sideration of this grant, he was to receive
• sixty per cent, of the net profits of the
enterprise after deducting all expenses,
charges and stipulated dividends to be
distributed by him among the parties in
interest. This interest of the old com
pany is still under the protection of the
j liquidator and he must be a party to any
arrangement that may be entered into
for a sale and conveyance of the proper
ty, and as he derives his authority from
t*he triuunal that appointed action
requires the approval and confirmation
of the court- The papers befre the com
mision show that the liquidator has
agreed to the proposition, and that he is
acting under judicial authority.
A deed to the properly executed by
the canal company and the liquidator re
quires the approval of the government
of Colombia because of the prohibition
already referred to In the concessions
and for the further reason that the re
public owns 50,000 acres of 100 francs
each of the stocK of the company fully
paid, of which it cannot be deprived
without its consent. Such a transfer of
title thus approved would give to the
United States the same right, title and
interest In the premises that the new
Panama Canal Company now has, but
that would not be sufficient. The exist
ing concessions thus purchased would
be valuable only because their owner
ship by the United States would remove
the obstacles in the way of negotiations
between the two governments for the oc
cupation of Colombian territory by the
United States for canal purposes; but
these concessions are unsatisfactory and
insufficient and a new arrangement must
be made if an isthmian canal is to be
constructed by our government across
the Isthmus of Panama.
The grant must be not for a term of
years, but in perpetuity, and a strip of
territory from ocean to ocean of sufti
cient width must be placed under the
control of the United States. In this
strip the United States must have the
right to enforce police regulations, pre
serve order, protect property rights and
exercise such other powers as are ap
propriate and necessary. The business
relations between the railroad and canal
companies and the Colombian Govern
ment must also bo settled.
The advantages of the two canal routes
have been restated according to the find- j
ings of the former report. There has !
been no change in the views of the Com- 1
mission with refei’ence to any of these
conclusions then reached. But the new
proposition submitted by the new Panama
Canal Company makes a reduction of
nearly seventy million dollars in the
cost of a canal across the isthmus of
Panama, according to the estimates con :
tamed in the former report.
The report concludes as follows:
“After considering the changed con
ditions that now exist and all the facts
and circumstances upon which its pres
ent judgment must be based, the commis
sion is of the opinion that “the most
practicable and feasible route’ for an
Isthmian Canal, to be under the control,
management and ownership of the United |
States ‘is that known as the Panama
1 route.’ ”
j The report is signed by the entire com-
I mission. *
| The State Department will now proceed
,to arrange a protocol with Minister
j Silva engaging Colombia to approve the
transfer of the franchise of the Panama
Company and to make any desirable ex
! tension of time, both in the allowance (
' for the completion of the canal and in
the life of the lease.

1 VICTORY FOR THE PANAMA
ROUTE A LOBBY TRIUMPH
The Frienda of the Nicaragua Route Will
Fight Hotly This Attempt by Railroad
Interests to Defer Action
(By Arthur McEwon in New York Journal)
| Washington, Jan. 20.—1 f the late Collis
i P. Huntington were alive and in Wash
ington tonight, he would be smiling. The
Isthmian Canal Commission, in making
its supplementary report in favor of the
Panama route has done exactly as Mr.
, Huntington would have desired it to do.
Though Mr. Huntington is dead, the
railroad interests which he represented
are very much alive, and as' determined
as ever he was to prevent the building
i of an inter-oceanic canal by either the
Nicaragua, Panama or any other route.
I H3d Panama been popular throughout
the country and strong in Congress, as
Nicaragua is, we should have seen all
! the interests now booming Panama ar
i rayed on the side of the unpopular Nl
j caragua. Anything to prevent action,
I everything that will promote delay—that
I is the policy which animated the oppou- |
1 entß of the Nicaragua Canal. * * *
Every one who can be controlled by the
railroads and Hanna is out for the Pana
ma Canal. * * * The (tone of the re
! port is far from being enthusiastic or in
sistent, and its chief argument—that the
Panama route would cost $5,000,000 less
, than the Nicaragua—is laughed at. In an
enterprise so vast as an intcroceanic '
canal. It verwges on absurdity to figure '
within $3,000,000 of the total.
/ Years have been spent in clearing away]
j the difficulties from the path of the
; Nicaragua Canal. The private companies
. have been got rid of, the Clayton-Bulwer
j treaty is out of the way. and Nicaragua
j and Costa Rico have granted all terri-1
( torial fights asked for. All that is need- |
ed now is for Congress to act and the
United States to go ahead and dig.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
Practical men naturally ask why we'
should begin all over again when there is '
not the least necessity for it —why we
should wade into a new bog of private
| rights, Government concessions, protocols
and treaties,
j Further, there is that tremendous vote
of the House —308 to 2—by which the J
Hepburn Bill was passed two weeks ago. I
That was the voice of the country. Can '
that be reversed by the Panama lobby,
' and the Panama advocates who don't be- !
long to the lobby? Hardly. The most
that the lobby hopes for is to prevent
legislation at this session. And that tclli
the whole story. * * *
! The men who have striven so long to
bring the Nicaragua Canal within sight |
are hardly going to allow their engines '
to be derailed, or even stopped for long,
| because a Panama log has been thrown 1
across the track at the eleventh hour by
hands which have a very familiar look.
There is a good hot battle right ahead.
DEATH FOLLOWED DEFEAT
! W. H. HofFineister Fails of Be-election and
Ehoots Himself
(By the Associated Press.)
St. LoUis, Jan. 21. —William H. Hoft
meister, of St. Louis, ex-Suprenie Re
corder of the Legion of Honor, commit
ted suicide at the Planters’ Hotel today
j by shooting himself.
The onlv witness to the suicide was
1 George M. Ackley, of Kansas iCty. Depu
ty Coroner Bogher took charge of the re
mains.
Mr. Hoffmeister was defeated last
night for re-election as Supreme Recor
der of the Legion of onor by C. T. P.
White and an entirely new Supreme
Council was elected after a sensational
contest.
One feature of the struggle was the
arrest of Otto A. Overbeck candidate for
Supreme Chancellor, (the highest officer
in the order) and leader of the opposi
tion to 'he administration.
Mr. Overbeck was arrested while on
his way to the meeting where the elec
tion was to be held.
I At the four courts a complaint was
1 lodger] against Mr. Ove.’jeeK for carry-
I ing a concealed weapon. Friends of the
Overbeck ticket however procured MV.
Overbeck’s release on bond and hurried
with him to the meeting hall, where
they arrived in time to vote, his one
vote being necessary to win.
Ackley, who says he was in an ad
joining hath room when the shot w r as
J fired, expressed the belief that Hoff
meistev killed nimself because he bad
been defeated in his candidacy for re
election.
“Hoffmeister was drinking last night,”
said Ackley, “and he told me there ’would
be trouble. I knew he had a revolver
and I took it from him and locked it up.
Mv own revolver was in my valise and
this he used to shoot himself.”
George W. Teasdale. an intimate friend
of the dead man. said:
“Mr. Hoffmeistcr’s accounts w r ere in
vestigated by the Supreme Council re
cently and were found to be in good
shape.”
After hearing the testimony of Messrs.
Ackley and Teasdale and S. I. Barnard,
the coroner rendered a verdict of sui
cide.

THE SHIPPING DEALS
Efforts of Companies to Com
bine to Raise the Rates
on Freights.
<By the Associated Press.)
London, Jan. 21.—A representative of
the Associated Press has secured an au
thoritative statemeut regarding the ru
mored shipping deals, which, while con
futing the reports of the amalgamation
of several lines, reveals the fact that ne
gotiations towards a trade agreement
are being conducted on a larger scale
than hitherto hinted at. What has ac
tually happened is this:
Every line trading between England and
America, except one. has agreed to form
a freight combination upon a basis con
siderably higher than the ' rates at pres
ent in force. The one exception, how
ever. threatens to upset the prolonged
negotiations, for today fifteen firms with
drew their previous assent, declaring
that unless this one exception came in the
combine would be valueless. The line
which has so disarranged the calcula
tions, for until today the success of the
scheme was believed to be practically as
sured. is comparatively unimportant and
plies between London and the United
States.
The extent which the proposed com
bination had attained can be judged from
the fact that the fifteen withdrawals do
not constitute fifty per cent of the firms
interested. A representative of one of
who lines rnqHt intimately 'concerned,
said that it looked today very much as if
the whole plan would fall through,
though he admitted that strenuous efforts
would be made to persuade the back
sliders to come in again, and leave the
unimportant exception to fight its own
battle.
The reports of a financial amalgamation
between the White Star, American, At
lantic Transport and other lines are
strenuously denied.
