dred Million Francs for his Canal.
PARIS, March In. De Lesseps in his report to
the extra meeting Of the Panama Canal Co. TO-
Gay, states that the in.wtl Of opponents OF the
canal, which resulted In compelling the company
TO borrow money at higher rate OF interest
than was expected, Is the cause Of the
increased cost and OF the Intimidation OF
certain Of the companys CONTRACTORS. Referring
TO the number OF cubic metres excavated In 1887,
the report states that owing TO the prevalence OF
the rainy season and the dif1culty In procuring
workmen, NJ. De Lesseps Can hardly insure the
competition OF the canal in 1889. The directors
have been induced TO agree to the construction OF
locks by means OF which vessels OF the largest ton
mage may traverse the canal In $780, before the
work Is absolutely completed.
The financial statement shows that 10000 600
francs were in hand on January /, 1883 Pending
the decision OF the government regarding the lot.

third issue Of bonds. OF 1000 francs each to the
value OF 6O0,0OO,O 900 francs, the repayment OF

actor called at the White House yesterday, he ex-
pressed q strong desire that the President should

The Street Accounts for 1857.

The Street AccOunts for 1857.
INFORMATION FURNISHED By THE DISTRICT CON-
MIssIoNERs TO THE FIRST CONTROLLER.
The Commissioners have written to the nrst
controller in reference to his request for further
information respecting the account for streets,
District OF Columbia, 1887, from May to June go
1857, as follows:
THE EXPENSES FOR STREET sPRINKLERs.
Audit No. 42,952-The contract Tor sprinkling,
sweeping, and cleaning the paved carriageways Of
the city applies, OF course, only to the paved
streets. 1t is the unpaved streets that particu-
referred to We're purchased primarily for use on
14tn street and 9TH street. These might be classed
as suburban streets, but certainly not as county
roads. Moreover, the use OF the carts has by no
means been restricted to these streets. They have
been used on 14th street southwest, on street
southwest, on street southwest, on South Capitol
street and elsewhere, where owing TO- special con-
ditiOns ii is necessary TO lay the dust. In other
words they are for general use These carts have
never been used by the contractor for street sweep
Ing SO far as his work is concerned, he furnished
all materials for carrying out his contract as re-
quired.
Audit No. 44,O79-The foregoing remarks apply
TO this case also. The small sprinkler was found
to be Inadequate for the service OF l4th street. as
the distance necessary to travel to obtain water
was so great. For this reason o larger cart was
purchased as per voucher. This cart was parttcu-
larly used on 14th street, it Is available and In
tended for use wherever required
DEFECTIVE COPY OF CONTRACT.
Audit No. 43,496-The retain copy Of the con-
tract contained no Limitation on the work. This
limitation was accidentally omitted 1t was pre-
sumed that the copy forwarded TO the Treasury
Department was defective In the same way. For
this reason no order extending the WORK was made.
All order can be made by the Commissioners, II
necessary, in order to complete the papers.
HARD ROCK ExcAvAT1oN.
Audit No. 42,967-In the partial measurement Of
June 18th, all previous payments on this work,
no distinction was made as to the character OF the
material excavated. This point had, however
been raised by the contractor early In the progress
OF the work, and the District Engineer had noted
the character OF the material as work progressed.
The contractor claimed that the material was
rock, and claimed the contract price for rock ex-
cavation, viz, 81. 20 per cubic yard.
The material was unQuestionably not ordinary
excavation, and the contractor had 10
resort TO blasting TO remove It; on the
other hand, the material could hardly be
classed rock In the sense that such word
is usually used In engineering specifications
After considerable Investigation q compromise
was effected and the material was clasSed as
"rOtten rock" with an extra allowance OF 18k
cents per cubic yard or IS cents bulk. The COM
promise effected was only q lair and proper one,
but probably resulted In considerable saving to the
District.
Audit No. 43.ele-The foregoing remarks apply
to this case also
