There are many conflicting re-
ports regarding De Lesseps' Panama
canal. Some accounts give doleful &C.
counts of the fatality of the climate and
the terrible mortality among the labor
ers, and of slow progress. But others
are in q different vein. A prominent
American ship-builder, who has recent
ly returned from Panama, reports that
the work on the canal is progressing
with satisfactory vigor and rapldity, and
that it will be completed within five
years. The average expense of excava-
ton is at the rate of So per cubic meter,
and the total cost of the excavation
alone is estimated at 5000, 000, 900.
This is about $50, 600, 900 more than the
estimate of De Lesseps, but the diver
gence is less that the average difference
of the estimates of American engineers
from the figures of the distinguished
Frenchman. The very large amounts
already expended arc a guarantee that
the enterprise will be pushed to COM
pletion. The same unfavorable reports
attended the construction of the Suez
Canal, but it was pushed to completion
and is now very profitable.

Gus I can defend myself" replied the captain
with some pride.

mission"
The sergeant of the police court squad was

be made to secure evidence for the purpose
of having him extradited.

Illinois is one of the very few states,
if not tho only one that is entirely out
of debt. Previous to the adoption Of
the constitution of 1948 it had a heavy
load Of liabilities, but that instrument
provided for q perpetual tax of two
mills. By 1870 the debt was practi.
cally paid, and the tax provision was left
out of the revised constitution adopted
that year. After the Chicago fire the
state took off the hands of that city the
Illinois & Michigan Canal, on which it
had a lien for deepening it. This OF
course involved the state in some liabili.
ties, but the charter of the Illinois Cen.
trail Railroad provides that it shall pay
to the state Z per cent. of the gross
earnings on its original line in Illinois
per year. and that has gradually extin-
guished the debt.
