be done over again everv season. As
the contract with the French Com
pany compels them to bank the earth
when discharged through the shoot
pipes the loss does not fall on the
American contractors, who have the
contract for dredging. Slides occur
in heavy 1ains all along the line. At
Culebra, where the canal has to be
cut 36e feet In depth through tie Gems
ter cut, the rain has washed back
rocks, mud and debris, and the work
of cutting through the hard limestone
Is delayed in consequence. Engineers
estimate that it Will take at least ten
years to finish this cut, with no draw
backs. The general feeling at the
lsthDlus is that the canal will never
be completed by the French Company,
and it is doubtful if American capital
could be induced to finish the work
because of the insecurity due to the
frequent revolutions, from climatic
and other causes.

slider whore il will lead him to until
too late to save himself. Conditional
numbers are thrown repeatedly, and
the stranger, to save his stakes, keeps
doubling his investment, which in a
short time reaches the size Of his purse.
Som the victim, becoming
frightened, decides to withdraw from
the game, but he is told that he will
forfeit his money by doing so. It is
also explained that should conditional
numbers be shaken out certain mum
Der of times more the player will be
entitled to the return of all his coin,
less a half-dollar, which the game
keeper takes as its percentage. The
game keeper generally limits the
number of conditional mum bers to be
shaken to arrive at this result accord
ing to about what amount he believes
the victim has in his possession. To
coax the victim on, the boosters tell
him that ne can not lose--that all his
money will be returned to him, and
that, should he shake winning NUNS
Der, he will get as many times the
prize as he has invested half-dollars.
In the hope of getting back his coin
the unfortunate man again risks his
money, which by being doubled re-
peatedly, reaches probably into the
hundreds. About the time when all
his money is up the game keeper tells
him: Nov, sir, you Understand that
there are two blank numbers upon
which, should you be unfortunate
enough to fall, you will lose your en-
tire stake" The player, frightened
half out of his wits at his recklessness,
shakes the dice, and they are counted
by the game-keeper. A booster
picks up the dice as they are counted
and pushed away, and the total is
announced, being reached so rapidly
that no one has had time to verify
how correct it is. The number an
nounced is invariably one Of the
blanks upon which call the stakes
are lost" The victim wants an ex-
PLANTATION. He believed that he was
to get his money back less a small
percentage for the game. The crowd
about the game press him aside and
resume betting. The victim is be-
wlldered, and the game>keeper begs
him politely to withdraw and come
around some other time when the
game is not in full blast, and all the
explanations he wishes will be made
to him. The victim by this time real
ICES that he has been robbed and goes
away. Sometimes he complains to
the police authorities, and these, who
frequently have bsen fixed by the
gam bier offer him no consolation but
you should not have gambled. We
see no redress foryou. This method
of doubling up is called "jebbing,"
from jeopardy, the position a player
places himself in when he gam bles at
game. frequently men have been
known to lose thousands of dollars by
being "jebbed' at case. The other
games played during fair time are
equally dangerous and as impossible
to win at.

The Z anama Canal.

The great Panama Canal scheme is

cost, and is meeting such unexpected
obstacles, that its general collapse is

engineer, just from Colon, says that
there are unmistakabIe indications
that the money is giving out. Not
nearly SO many men are employed,
nor are the operations on so liberal
and gigantic a scale as formerly.
Many Of the Jamaicans have left on
account Of the late instruction,
when they were SO roughly handled
by the Colombians, and they are just
beginning to get over their terror Of
the place. A drawback not taken
into much account by the French En-
gineers was the prevalence Of heavy
rains during The rainy season. The
rain descended in torrents, washing
back the earth INTO the canal and
compelling the dredges to do their
work over again. It is estimated that
fully one>third OF the dredging has to

An English Girl Shot in Mexico.
Pail Mall Gazette

A lady recently made an application
at Lambeth police station with regard
to her daughter. She stated that the
girl when very young went out to
different places with a troupe of per-
formers She had not heard of her for
two years, but had been informed that
she was dead. She was afterward in-
formed that according to advices re-
ceived, that the girl had been shot in
Mexico, where, with others, she had
been performing. Mr.. Chance di~
rected that further inquiries might be
made into the matter, and Sergeant
Underwood got corroborative evidence
that the girl was shot. The report of
the case appeared in the newspapers.
and the attention of Lord Salisbury
seems since in consequence to have
been called to the matter. Lord
Salisbury communicated with the
authorities of Scotland yard, and in
quire was directed to be made in the
l. division, IN which district the agent
and the applicant resided. It has been
ascertalned that the girl had been
shot as stated, but the story is some
what altered, it being reported that
while sitting at dinner she was de-
liberately shot with a revolver by a
man who was afterward tried and
sentenced to long term of imprison>
ment. 1t is stated that at 81 the girl
would have been entitled to consid-
cradle fortune. The matter, it also
appears. has been taken UP by the
British consul of Mexico, and it is ex-
pected very shortly that further in
formation will be received.

business, and could easily compete
with Germany and France in supply

increased five fold by careful culture

The Northwest Rebellion.

There is little change in the condi-
non OF affairs in the Northwest as
shown in official reports. The Indian
uprising is attracting more attention
IMAM the halt-brccd insurrcctiom, and
members OF the government admit that
they arc greatly alarmed for the well
larc or the helpless settlers. Battle
tord Is again surrounded and camp
fires are constantly burning. Signal
fires have been lighted ut different
points, which fact is looked upon with
alarm. The government dcnics the
report that it is disposed to effect q
settlement with the half-brccds and
Indians by treaty. Sir John MacDon-
aid states that he will first put down
the rebellion and then listen to what
the rebels have to say.
