Committee Report President Taft
As Bight On Panama Canal
Estimated Finish.
New York, Nov. 8-The Congres
sional commit tflfl that went to the Isth
mus of Panama lust month, returned
on the steamer Ancon yeste day satid
ft d thst President Taft's prediction
would ba fulfilled and that the canal
would be finished slid open for business
by 1913, As a result of Iheir vit.it Con
gress probably will be urged to pass at
the earliest possible moment legislation
regulating the government of the canal
and setting the question of tolls.
The party included Senator Brandc
gee, chbi mm of the Inter-Oceanic Ca
nals Committe"; Bristow, Cummins,
Page and Overman, and Representative
Higgins. Senators West more and
Tnornton were on the isthmus with the
party, but the former remained there
to nurse an attack of bronchitis, while
Senator Thornton returned to New Or
'eans by another steamer Senator
Brmdegee raid.
"The progress of the work since my
last visit two years agi jg remarkable.
So far as it is possible to see into the
future it 1 oks at though the canal
would be finished and opened for busi
ness in 1913.
''It will be finUhed within the esti
mated cost of $375,000,000, As the so
called slides of material into the prism,
concerning whic'i alarming reports are
printed at intervals. I think little ap
prehension need be felt. The cono-
mi' s resulting from better organiza
tion, greater efficiency in operation,
and better knowledge of muthods of
treating the slides have enabled the op
erating force to excavate the ma'erial
without increasing the estimated cost
of the completed conal."

End of Wreck of Battleship. The
Cause of Explosion Will Re
main Unknown.
Washington, Nov. 8th. The stern of
the wreck of the Maine will be floated
ojt to 8' a and buried; the bow will be
hacked to pieces and hauled out on bar
ges and dumped in the sea. Gen. Bix
by, chief of the army engineers in
charge of removing the tangled wreck
from Havana harbor, has decided up
on this course.
The n't sec ion of the wreck is un
coven d i-n i is in excellent condttiqp.
The bow of the ship, where the explo
sion occurred, is a tangled wreck of
boilers and girders ar.d will not be com
pletely uncovered for at least 3 months,
probably longer, the time depending on
whether or not Congress appropriates
$25 1,000 for the work next month.
"In about three weeks we will start
to trip ti e stem section free from the
bcw." Gen. H xHy said "We have got
enough money out of the last appropri
a tion to sever the wreck into two por
tions, but we nave not ei ough to re
move the cofferdam and tow the stern
out to sea.
"A great part of the bow is covered
with mud and we will not know just
h iw to handle that portion until we
have removed the mud. It is a slow,
tedious job, but when it U removed fi
nally the bow will be in very iimill
pice s The further we get along in
the work the more work we find to be
done.
"All these new theories about the de
struction of the ship are mere guess
work. We know just as much about the
caue of the wreck today as we did thir
teen years ago. Ths original explosion
wan so small in comparison to the ex
plosions that followed from the maga
zines that the first cause probably left
no defini e clue."

resolutions:
Whereas, Broad street west of Queen

by persons owning lands adjacent there
to, or said Broad street has never been
laid out west of said Queen street, the
truth of which is unknown; and, where
as; that part of said Broad street lying
between said Queen street and End St.,

the present time a nanow, muddy lane

and kept in proper repair in the man
ner and to the extent the board of ald
ermen deem beat for the best interest
of the city; the said part of Broard St.
being one of the principal thorough
fares entering the city, therefore be ii

the said part of Broad street lying be
tween said Q leen street and End street

straighten said part of Broad street,
according to and in the manner provi
ded by law. And the city attorney and
city engineer shall render such assist
ance in said work as they shall be call
ed upon to render by said committee.
And, whereas, since the sidewalks
and many of the strtels of the city
have been paved, New street and ad
joining lands have been frequently in
undated and floodei because of the rap
id Bhed of water from adj lining tor i
tory wherein the streets hav been
paved to New street which id a natural
water drain; and whereas, the inhabit
ants of the city linn along New Ss.
have been gn atly inconvenienced and
suffered great damage and the health
of the whole community will suffer
thereby; and whereas due advertise
ment hag been made and the contract
awarded to F. J. M Guire. the lowest

and wh-reas the board of aldermen
deem it neceaaary and btt for the best
interest of the city to pave that part of
