SEA LEVEL CANAL.
It Will Have a Width at Bottom
ot 150 Feet Except in
Culebra Chit.
THE COST ABOUT $250,000,000,
Flan, as Adopted, Would Make Llrann
Bay One of the Greatest Har
bors In the. World.
San Cristobal Is Expected To Become
the Chief City on the Atlantic
Side cf ths Ist!ir.ilsn
Canal.
Washington, Nov. 20. After consid
ering the problem for more than three
months tho board of consulting engi
neers, which was appointed by 1'rosl
lent Itoosevclt, to detornilno upon tho
kind of n canal that should bo con
structed across tho Isthmus of I'aua
ma, decided to recommend a sea lovol
waterway Instead of a lock canal
Washington, Nor, 20. Tho sea-level
canal t the Isthmus, which has boon
votod on by the members of tho con
nutting board of engineers, will have
n width at tho bottom of ICO feet, ex
cept In the Culobra cut, whoro that
width will be 200 feet. The greater
width In tho Culebra cut Is necessary
to allow two hIiIm to ih pppIi other
hafely between the high banks of the
canal which will bo formed by the
ery deep excavation.
Tho plan as adopted by the board
would nmke Union bay one of tho
greatest haibors of the world. Almos-t
through the middle of the bny a hi oak
water will be built and a shorter break'
v liter will bo built from San Cristobal,
which is American territory, thereby
leaving Colon, which belongs to the
republic of Panama, outside of the
American cnnnl works. Under tho
jlnn as adoptftl by the board San Crls-
tooal Is expected to hecoitm tho chief
city on the Atlantic side of the cnlml
imd the promontory on which nrisc
the statue of Columbus will be cov
ered with ofiiclal buildings, docks
coaling stations and .VI the works nee
canary for an Important harbor.
The cost of the sou Icel canal Is 08'
ttnuted by tho engineers at about $"50,-
floo.ooo. Although this amount seems
much larger than the amouiu neces
nary for the construction of tho lock
cau.il, It is claimed by the advocates
of the a level canal to be in ronlity
only comparatively slightly higher. It
was pointed out In the meeting of the
board that a lock canal would nocos-
sitnte between $30,000,000 and $40,000,-
000 ns payment for tho private
grounds and lamia belonging to tho
republic of Panama which would bo
inundated by the construction of tho
lock system. This Item In tho view
of tho majority of the board Is entire-
1 done away with by the adoption of
the urn level canal.

810,000 gallons of whisky furnished a
spectacular fire entailing a loss of $1,
000,000. Loss fully covered by Insur
ance. The main bonded warohouso
was burned to tho ground. A steady
northeast wind which blow the flames
toward tho Youghlogheny rlvor saved
the town of llroadford, tho buildings
of tho H. C. Frlck Coko Co. nnd tho
II. & O. railroad station from destruc
tion. Smoke was first seen Issuing
from tho third story of tho building,

nged to save the buildings nearby nnd
the calls to the two othor towns wero
withdrawn. Tho ruined building and
Its contents were still burning flercoly
at midnight, but the structures sur
rounding It have been so thoroughly
waked with water that no further
losses nre feared. It Is supposed that
the fire started either from spontane
ous combustion or from a spark
thrown hy a passing locomotive down
ono of tho nlrshafts. The A. Overholt
I Co. Is ono of tho largest manufactur
I ors of whisky In the world. Tho plant
Is practically owned by H. C. Frlck

whisky had already been sold and wns
being kept In storngo for tho owners.
