meetings the strikers were in good spinS over
their success" and when the question whether
the strike should be declared off" was raised
it was unanimously negatiyed in every case
Their claim that they are on the road to Vic'ory
is based apparently on the fact that some Oh
the tied-up lines have not yet tried TO reSuhe
business and that none of them has yentured 10
run cars after nightfall. The fact that tne
question of success OF victory came up 1or ior-
NAL ;ction five days after the strike was De-
gun is in itself confession of virtual tailure'
That such will be the result grows every hour
moro apparent. Already the ranks oil the
strikers have been broken, and day or two
more will doubtless see a rush of the men to
secure the places which otherwise will soon be
beyond their reach.

PANAMA FINANCE.

The Panama Canal directors are making
desperate efforts to keep their enterprise afloat
until the next general elections in France.
Boulanger is now their political patron, and his
triumph, they assume, win open the way for
Government Intervention and financial sup
port from the National Treasury. What is in
dispensable is a temporary reorganization Of
the company by which bankruptcy can DO
averted and capital be furnished for con-
tnuance of work on the Isthmus this year.
The Bankruptcy bill has been revised in the
Senate with special reference to the require
ments Of the company, so as to enable it to
Iiquidate its obligations without being declared
insolvent; and arrangements have been made
with the Banque Parisienne for the immediate
issue of so, 600, 900 Of preferred shares. Sub
scriptiOns for these shares were opened on Mon
day under new title for the old company. The
object of these manoeuvres is apparent. Neither
the present Ministry nor the Chambers can DO
depended upon to come to the rescue Of the
company. A Boulangist Ministry and Re
dictionary Assembly may prove moro hoSpitable
to the schemes of reckless SPECTATORS.
NJ. de Lesseps's original estimate of the cost
Of the Panama Canal was $40, 600, 900. The
expenditures TO date are $3.50, 900, 900, with
floating Indebtedness that is variously esti-
mated. An official report issued last year by
the Colombian Government stated that only
Vne-ffth Of the requisite cutting had been
done. The ultimate cost OF the canal even
with the saving effected by the locks, cannot
be estimated with any degree Of assurance
but it is apparent that even il the needed cap
ital be furnished, the investment can never
prove remunerative one. NJ. de Lesseps cal
culated that the traffic Of the canal would
amount to 500 900 tons annually, or 9 0, 900
tons day, which, on the basis of a total cost
of S240, 600, 900, left margin for profit. The
suez Company has found it imprachcabie to
accommodate traffic Of 5000, 600 tons year
and is now enlarging the canal. Even il the
probable tonnage OF the Panama Canal had not
been grossly oyerestimated by NJ. de Lesseps,
it would seem equally impracticable to accom-
modate the traffic which he contemplated In

ord.r 70 render the investment profitable But
,ho c,,oz Canal is tide-level waterway,
,vhareas the Panama Canal is to have four
locks; and the annual tonnage OF such water
way. in the Judgment of English and American
engineers. cannot exceed 10000 The
modification of the sea-level plan may material
" redu,e tbe cost of construction, but it also
restricts traffic and wipes out one-third OF the
estimated income. Indeed, if it be possible to
complete the waterway with system of locks,
the ultimate enlargement and deepening Of the
emf will he inevitable before remunerative
traffic can he accommodated. Even then a
MARGIN Of profit presupposes the bankruptcy of
the original company, and possibly seyerai
subsequent stages Of insolvency.
French investors have shown themselves to
he as credulous and visionary to-day as their
ancestors were ITO years ago, when Laws
Mississippi scheme capdvated the sordid am
bitions Of all classes. Public credit was i'm
haired then, National finances were thrown
into hopeless disorder, general impoverlshment
ensued and revolutionary impulses were ere
ated The economic and political effects Of
the collapse of the Panama bubble can hardly
fail TO be equally serious; and with lack OF
civic courage that is characteristic Of the
French people. legislators are unwilling to face
tbe situation, but are indirectly aiding the pro-
meters Of the illstarred enterprise to tide over
the crisis and to keep the company afioat until
the ensuing elections.

PASS THE COPYRIGHT BILL.


To-day will doubtless be decided the fate OF
the earnest efforts that have been made during
the present Congress to secure international
Copyright. motion will be made to fix day
for the consideration of the bill. II this shall
be successful, its passage may be regarded as
assured, as large majority Of the House are
believed to favor it. If the motion shall fail
there is no probability that it will get another
chance with the session so near its close.
It is to te hoped that there will be no attempt
to Obstruct the progress of the measure, even on
the part Of those who may not favor it. IL is
but fair that bill which is supported by every
native interest concerned that fully compre-
bends its scope, should have hearing before
the House Such little opposition rs there may
be comes only from one or two minor interests
through misapprehension Of the bill, and from
Eng n publishers.
IL ought not TO be necessary to appeal to self
interest In urging an act Of righteous Justice,
but the case OF international Copyright can be
shown, il need be, TO be as strong from the
point of commercial advantage as IL is from
that of abstract morality. II is a good
bill to pass, not only because It is
Just, but because the bill will benefit Ameri-
can publishers and printers, and Is earn
estly demanded by them; because it will be the
salvation of the American author and Of Ameri-
can literature and because all this will be ac-

Some interesting experiments with electricity
were made on Mr.. Barnum's animals at bridgeport
last Saturday They were probably Oh small
scientific value, and certainly had no bearing on
the use Of electricity for executing criminals
It was curious, though, TO watch the enects OF
the electric current on various animals apd the
experts who went up TO witness the experiments
must have felt repaid for their trouble. The
morl,evs behaved like frightened children, but
curious withal, while a big baboon was made
nearly frantic. A dog was also put into such
state that he showed symptoms Of madness ana
had to be killed. The stolid hippopotamus didn't
appear to mind the thing at all. The elephants
proved The most interesting subjects, and seemed
to enjoy their new sensations hugely. Even the
greatest force that could be applied with tif

rubbed their legs and squealed with dehght
Their resistance was IL 900 ohms, but the OK
neriment gave no indication Of the strength Oh te
cnrrent that would be required to kill an elephant
