The Panama Canal Company.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-The Times, in Al
editorial, says q clear, full statement Of
what has been done by the Panama Canal
Company is given BY . thoroughly informed
correspondent this morning. The most
conspicuous fact is the disparity between
the outlay required to complete the canal
and the money in the hands Of the com-
pany. Ii 10 within bounds TO estimate
that 700, 000, 900 francs are necessary in sd-
dition to the 730, 000. 900 francs already
secured, in order to complete the excsvs-
ton and pay the current interest charges.
The correspondents conclusion is, that at
the present rate Of construction, ID will be
impossible TO finish the canal for years be-
yond the time fixed for its completion.
The problem Of providing against freshets
Of the Chagres river ia q Of the most
difficult with which the company has to
deal. The present plan is to construct N
immense dam, costing 100, 900, 900 francs.
The chances seem very much against the
completion Of the canal in the lifetime of
DeLesseps.
