DELESsEPs, PANAMA CANAL.

DE LESSEPS' PANAMA CANAL.
 Evidence aceumulates that De Lesseps' Panama canal is, so far, not great success. Indeed, in view of the facts it may fairly be doubted that it ever will be- The latest ac- count of the great work is that given by Mr. Theodore Growney, practical engineer who has been for two years employed on the canal and has just returned to San Francisco
 Mir. Growney says that there has been an enormous expenditure of money without any commensurate results. Every step taken in the prosecution of the great enterprise has been characterized by prodigal waste and in conceivable mistakes. The company spent a large sum of money in building up the town of Colon, at the Atlantic terminus, which should have been devoted to digging the ditch. The town would have grown of itself with the progress of the work. It is essen tially French in it's architecture, population, language, and, in fact, in all it's characteris- tics.
 The engineer goes over the whole twelve sections of the canal and gives the condition of each, and the summing up of the whole is anything but encouraging. Colossal blunders have been made in the original estimates which put the costs far beyond anything that has yet been conceived of. Up to June 29, 1884, according to the engineers estimates, $50, 900, 900 had been expended. The route through the Emperador section was changed after s, ,O0O, 900 had been wasted in experi- mental work.
 The most extraordinary blunders seem to have been made by Count de Lesseps him self in his estimates. For instance, De Les seps contemplated perpendicular cut on the Culebra section 283 feet deep. It has been ascertained, however, that the banks must have a slope of at least 54 degrees, and this will involve the removal of many millions of cubic feet of earth over and above the amount contemplated in the estimates The cost of this cut was fixed at $10,000, 900, but it will exceed $20,O00,0O
 The first division of the canal extends from Colon to Gatun, seven miles. It was SUD- posed that all the digging on this division could be done with dredging machines, and the contracts were made accordingly. At the end of two miles, however, the machines struck a coral reef, whose existence was not suspected, and they could do nothing more until a passage was cut through the reef. The dredges were hoated over the obstruc- tion at high tide, but the canal has not yet been cut through the coral. The machinery is wearing out and great deal of money will have to be expended in replacing it before much effective work can be done.
 Mr. Growney has no hope that the canal will be completed within the century, and he says that if De Lesseps were to die the whole project would collapse. This is very proba- ble, and De Lesseps is so old that he cannot be expected to live and be active much lon
