Chicago, Sept. 29.—“George Ehle, an American engineer, with a party of young college graduates, in four months has made discoveries about the Panama Canal which the French engineers failed to make in fifteen years. His information makes it possible to solve the baffling problem of the Chagres River freshets, by diverting the stream to the Pacific Coast. It also releases $20,000,000 for excavating a sea-level waterway. This announcement of theengineer ing work thus far doue by the United States Panama Canal Commission has been made before the Chicago Press club by Chief Engineer John F. Wallace, who recently returned from the isthmus. “In their explorations,” said the chief engineer, “Resident Engineer George Ehle and his college lads en- dured hardships that it took Ameri- can pluck to overcome. They spent four months in the tropical jungle tracing the course and source of the Chagres River, whose spring freshets, sometimes forty feet high, so far have proved an insuperable obstacle to a sea-level canal project.” By the uee of data collected by the Eble party, Mr. Wallace said that it Chagres from the Caribbean slope to the Pacific sidaof the isthmus, This could be done-at an approximate cost of $16,000,000, releasing $20,- 000,000 of the $36,000,000 destined for the construction of locks.
