WORK OF BOARD IS COMPLETED AT LAST Formal Meeting Will bo Held Abroad Before Final Re port Is Made. (By Aaeociatad Press.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. By a vote of 8 to 5 today the board of consulting engineers of the Isthmian Canal Com mission placed itself on record as fav ing the construction of the Panama canal on the sea level. This decision represents the outcome of nearly three months of hard ovork. Karly In Sep tember the engineers gathered from all parts of the world to assist the American engineers in the decision of the momentuous question of construct ing the Panama canal, at sea level or at) a greater altitude, involving a system of locks. The (foreigners came to Washington absolutely without instructions from their own governments and without bias, determined to be glided to their ' decision solely by the facts to be pre sented to them. It was not until last Tuesday that anything In the nature Of a decided vote was taken; and that after all was an Indirect test. Just what that proposition was cannot be stated with absolute certainty, but it Is conjectured that the issue was whether or not a lock canal of a cer tain type should ibe constructed. At any rate the vote disclosed the fact that a majority of the eight Ameri can members under the lead of Gen eral Afbbott, was strongly In favor of a lock canal. Were Against Locks. The foreigners were against the par ticular type mentioned In the proposi tion, but it was not clear that at that moment they were opposed to the whole proposition of a lock canal. The real test came today and the ttnte be tween Tuesday and the meeting tnls morning was consumed in some very strong presentations oft the part of the majority of the American delegates to influence thfir foreign colleagues to accept one of the other Ixk proposi tions. The Amei leans, however, were not unanimous, for there is reason to b?lleve that three of th?ir number, protjably General Davis, Mr. Parsons and Mr. Burr, Joined the foreign del egates In this last vote which recorded tthe board as favoring the sea level canal. The decision was reached about noon and thereby the commission practical ly concluded Its labors. There will be a few more meetings next week, sim ply to deal with small details and to put Into permanent form the results of f tthe board's protracted meetings. The foreign delegates desire to leave for their European homes by the 27th - Inst, It la said" that one of the American members of the tboard will go to Paris to wind up this business, all of which must be done !bfore the final report of the board can be regarded as com plete and ready for submission to the Isthmian Canal Commission. The com mission In turn must record Its own judgment upon the conclusions reached by the board of engineers and there is even now a belief current that that judgment will be adverse to the board's plan. However, there are two more Important steps at either of which there may be great changes proposed, for the commission must pass the plans and Its own recommendations to the president, who In turifmust stamp them 'lth his own approval, or disap proval, and forward them to Congress, iwhlch after all will be the court of last resort, as between the sea level and lock canal projects; simply through the fact that additional legis-( J&jon will be necessary If a sea level canal Is to be built, for the board finds that such a canal will cost from Seventy-five to one hundred million dollars more than the cheapest practi cal lock canal and will be from five to seven years longer in the construction.
