He Thinks the Ditch VIII 30 Dug But
Doesn't Really Know Much About 1t.
NEW YORK, April lS.-Mr. John Bige-
lows long expected report on the Pana-
ma Canal is quite VOluminOus, but the
gist of his conclusions is In the following
paragraph: Long as my story is am
conscious tnat | have answered none Of
the questions about which the members
of the chamber are most curious. | nave
not Ventured an opinion as to the time
when the work will be completed, nor as
to it's total cost, nor as to the revenue it
can earn, nor even rs to the probabilities
of the required means being provided
for it's prosecution. To determine
wnen the canal will be fin
ished one must know first how much
work is yet to be done; second, how much
money the company will be able and dis
posed to spend annually upon 1t, and
third, how many labOrers or their equlva-
lent in machines it can command. That
information has not yet been revealed to
man. No one living can even give any
thing more than guess as TO the amount
OF work TO be done. No one knows
whether the company will decide TO build
a dam or carry Oti the waters OF the Cha
gres some other way. NO one knows
what slope it Will be necessary TO give
the cut at Culebra, nor what distractions
the wOrkmen may have to encounter
from subterranean water courses as they
descend. All these uncertain ele-
ments are rendered more uncertain
by the financial situation of the company.
1t is about entering the market for a new
loan Of 600,000,000 francs. The price it
will have 10 pay for this money Is uncer-
tain, and the price Of a future loan, if one
should become necessary, is still more
uncertain. Mr.. Bigelow says that the
canal will now be prosecuted to its com
pletion, without any very serious inter
ruptiou, is fairly to be presumed, for too
large proportion Of its cost has already
been incurred to make retreat as good
policy as to advance. Even if abandoned
by the company the contractors them
selves would probably find il for their
interest TO combine and finish it.

journment Looms Up in the Dim
Distance and the Calendar is Piled

WASHINGTON, April 1S.--The calendar
of the House has grown TO such propor-
tlons that the more important commit
tees are becoming alarmed at the waning
chances for action upon their preferred
measures and are about 20 make efforts to
secure assignments OF entire days for
their consideration. Several motions will
be made tomorrow to suspend the rul es
and pass the bill to regulate the promo
tion of graduates Of the Military Academy
and the bill to make parcels and light
merchandise mailable as special delivery
matter.

haps two days. IL will be followed by tho
diplomatic appropriation bill.
The Public Lands Committee may. un-
der the newly conferred power, call up
during the week one or more tOrieituTo
bills.
A number Of bills changing judicial dis
tricts will be called up by the Judiciary
Committee tor action Saturday.
1t is probable the House will adopt an
order setting aside Tuesday nights instead
OF Fridays, as at present, for consideration
of private pension bills.
SENATE RIGHT OF WAY.

UNDER THE DOME.

Some Old Junk I'm the National CapitOI.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-There are
more things twixt the dome and the cell
lar OF the Capitol than are dreamed Of by
the Capitol guides. Down under the
dome itself is the most interesting spot In
the building, its very centre and core,
where George WashingtOn's body was to-
lie after death; but George Washington
wouldn't lie there, and so we have to 90
down to Mount Vernon on a steamer in
order TO see the place where he does rest.
/ went down into the crypt OF the Capitol
the other day preceded by te-haired
negro, who unlocked the successive doors.
1t is "A circular chamber with square cor
ners, and is almost filed by rectangu-
lar wooden platform, on which
the bodies OF Lincoln, Garfield, Chase
and sumner, and all the
other dead statesmen whose remains had
lain in state in the Capitol, rested in the
rotunda directly underneath the Goddess
of Liberty on the dome. The very
simplicity Of these white washed walls
and this plain rough platform is i'm
pressiye. Ia chamber near the crypt 1
saw the original model OF the Goddess Of
Liberty which stands in bronze on the
apex Of the dome. The model is all in
pieces, but the head is fairly we'll pre-
served, although it's nose is gone, and you
yet a good idea of ITS size. Now come up
stairs into the sub-rOtunda, commonly
called the crypt, and let us all look at the
attempt at American art which Thomas
Jefferson suggested and Mrs. TrollOpe ad-
mired. jefferson, you remember, thought
that the builders OF the Capitol ought not
to copy 80 closely the architectural deco
rations Of the effete East; he suggested TO
the architect that pillars made to look
like big bundles OF tall cOTn-stalks would
be "A good feature. The architect had the
idea faitntully--yes, too iaithfully--wOrked
out, and here are the pillars TO this day.
Each Of them looks like a stack in a Cali
fOrnia field, with all the ears OF corn
standing right straightu upon end in arrow,
the whole being bound together with a
rope. They are very peculiar, to say the
least. Under the halls and corridors OF
the visible portions OF the Capitol are the
catacombs-miles upon miles Of clean,
well-painted passages, through which run
the heating and ventilatng pipes and the
electric wires, and where the gas lights
are never turned out. There is little
world Of life down here, Of which the
great world above knows nothing. Day
and night the great fans 90 round at
dizzy speed sucking I'm the fresh air,
which, passing over hot or cold water
pipes seven miles long cOled into a cham
Der twenty feet square, is forced into the
nails and corridors and committee rooms
above in immense quantities. The heat
ing and ventilating apparatus is by no
means perfect yet, but it is vastly inn
proved over what 10 was ten years ago.
In one OF these corridors is very tne
metal working model Of the Tehauntepec
ship railway, with real water, real ship
and great map OF the world. sWhen
/ Congressman come down 20 the bath
/ rooms in one corner Of the basement they
/ are gently led around to the Eads corridor
and glibly shown just how the thing VIII
