NCARAGUA ROUTES TH HOST FAVRED Probable Vo'e of the Isthmian Com- mission, President Will Use Forecast of the Report in His Message. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. WELLINGTON Ho- | TEL, WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—It was re- | ported to-day that burglars who wished | to gain access to the forthcoming reports of the Walker Isthmian Canal Commlis- sion had entered the Corcoran building, in which the commission has its offices, and had broken open the desk of Lieu- tenant Commander Staunton, secretary of | the commission. Lieutenant Commander Staunton when seen to-night sald that when he attempted to cpen his desk a day or two ago he discovered that the lock was broken. His impression was that it was the work of burglars who for some purpose were seeking to get ad- vance information as to the conclusions of the commission. He sent for a lock- | smith, who persuaded him that the desk | had not been broken open, but that the | lock had become disarranged in the | | course of usage. Tne Inciaent created | | great excitement among the members of | the commis who are in constant | dread lest enemies of the canal get the | results of their work ahead of Congress. | The report of commission is being | | closely guarded, and it is said that some | | of the members of the commission are | as yet unacquainted as to what the re- | port will be. The best information ob- is that the commission ce e of 5 to 4, and possibly 3, will recommend the tainable her by a vote of thority that President McKinley has been given information as to the most prac- ticable route, which he will use In his message. , in line with the report, will advoc the adoption of the Nica- raguan ro e ratification of the Hay- Pauncefote treaty; the construction of the canal without fort tions and the adop- tion of tolls discriminating in favor of the United States, Costa Rica and Nicaragua only so far as coastwise vessels are con- cerned and leaving the canal open to all the shipping of the world. It can be stated positively that the final the cost of the Nicaraguan been completed. Engi neers are still working on that, whereas long ago they were called off the Panama work. The approximate figures of the due to the fact that the canal is to have a depth of thir- ty-five feet—five feet more than that recommended about two years ago. Again this cost is saild to be a rough estimate of $150,000,000 for the Panama Ca- nal to be completed with locks, to which must be added the figures at which the Panama company will turn over its prop- erty and concessions to this country. This has recently been placed as low_as $25,.- 000,000, making the total cost $175,000.000. But if the commission should recommend the Panama route there is no likellhood that the company would settle for any- thing like that figure. The commission will resume its session in this city on Thursday and it s expected to remain at work throughout the week.

OBILE, Ala., Nov. 19.—The dead I&F\& body of Ella Dubose, daughter of VA Mrs. J. M. Dubose of this city, reached here Sunday from Boston, Mass., near the harbor of which seaport the giri met a horrible death in the rig- ging of the schooner Myra B. Weaver. Two others perisheé with her in a fright- ful storm that raged on Vineyard Sound on Friday, the 9th of November. The funeral took place to-day from the bome of her mother. There was a con- stant stream of callers at the house from early morning till the hour of the funeral and the little coffin was buried from sight under a mass of white flowers. The little girl was universally beloved and the burial was one of the saddest here for many months News of the tragedy reached the parents of the dead girl after the {ll- fated schooner, a dismantled wreck, had been towed to a wharf in Boston harbor, the girl and two seamen still swaying rigging, from which it “had been impossible to detach them until the vessel was moored to a dock. For an hour or more hundreds, if not thousands, of persons crossing the East Boston ferries, and on both the Boston | and East Boston shores, saw this awful spectacle, perhaps never before witnessed in_the harbor of a civilized city Near the North ferry is Leighton's wharf. Shortly after 1 o'cleck the tug- boats Mercury, Zetes and Juno brought to the wharf the wrecked Weaver. Lashed to the rigging, high up on a broken mast near the crosstrees, was the partly nude body of Ella Dubose. A rope about the walst was fastened to the mast- head, and as the body swung back and forth the head and arms almost touched the feet. Below the head hung down the brown hair of the girl. Why was the body not removed before the schooner was made fast to the wharf? was the question on every witness’ lips. The wreckers sald that, as there was a hole in the boat, and as it was floating only because of its cargo of lumber, it was impossible to board the vessel and long THE BoDY IN HE RIGGING,, THE WRECKED SCHOONER, HER HANGING STARK FROM THE REPRODUCED FROM A PEN AND INK SKE CAPTAIN AND THE Y MASTHEAD IN BOSTO CH.

The mate and three of the crew, hold- ing to part of the rigging, were rescued The two seamen whese bodles became en. tangled in the lower rigging were John Heyman and Charles Magnussen, the for- mer a native of Finland and the latter of Norway.
