Panama Canal Cost Estimates Drift With Time
Washington reports show Senators and Representatives debating the canal price with no firm total. Colonel George W. Goethals bets the final figure may not exceed 250 million dollars, excluding the purchase price, while others cite estimates from 140 to 184 million. Congress has appropriated tens of millions, with about 50 million already spent and 1.89 million left unexpended by July 2, 1907. Goethals warns the needed spending may rise as work continues under heightened forces and enlarged plans.

Russian Reformer Reports at Carnegie Hall
Prof Paul Milyukof, a leader of the Constitutional Democratic party, spoke at Carnegie Hall before Bishop Potter and a New York audience. He argued the Duma failed to advance freedom, citing repression since 1827 and class conflict between landholders and peasants. He noted 2217 political executions in two years and that the Duma’s power would curb the czar’s authority. The talk reflected Russian reform debates and the party’s parliamentary aims.
