The Panama Canal.

NEW YORK, Sept. IGN. Eiffel Of Paris
tower fame, who has a contract for the
Panama Canal locks, was recently con-
suited concerning the feasibility of convert
ing the canal into a ship-railway. Sir Ben
jamin Baker, who is Superintendent OF
Construction of the new ship railway.
from the Bay of Fundy to the Gulf
of st. Lawrence, which is now in
course of construction at Amherst. Nova
Scotia. says: "In order to build the railway
a considerable portion of the excavations
already made would have to be reflled. L
estimate that the lowest possible cost IN
completing the canal would be 500, 900, ,000
wwile two years ago De Lesseps made an
estimate of $50, 0,000,0 600. 1t is, in my opinion,
quite impossible by financial combination
to raise money sufficient to complete the
Panama Canal, either as a canal or ship
railway. The latter scheme would involve
an outlay of $4,000, co.," He regards the
Nicaragua Canal plan as feasible.
