GREATEST GRAVEYARD IN THE
WORLD.
Thousands of People Buried Along the
Isthmus of Panama.
1St. Louis Republic.

More men have died and are buried
on the Isthmus of Panama, along the
line Of the proposed canal, than on any
equal amount of territory IL the world;
1t was in 1887, the year before the
final collapse of the canal scheme came,
that chance took me to the Isthmus," "
as it is more usually described. How
many people are buried out in Monkey
Hill? Certainly 5000 or 5000; proba-
bly, 1900 or IS, 1000, but it is'a all mat
ter of guesswork as to the exact num-
Der. But the ground about Aspinwall
only holds small percentage of the
men who have died on the Isthmus.
The city of Panama, Of course, lays
claim to the largest number of burlals,
but I can say without exaggeration
that the entire line of the railroad and
canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific
is continuous graveyard. At Matochln
alone over $500 Cinnamon met their
death in one day. That was 25 or 80
years ago, while the Panama Railroad
was being built, and long before work
on the canal was begun. Ten thous-
and Cinnamon had been brought from
China to work on the canal. Over
one-half Of them were camped at what
is now Matochin. Smallpox broke out
among them, and the mortality be-
came so great that the Cinnamon: al
ways easily excited, became panic
stricken, and, preferring to die by
drowning, ran down the steep sides of
the hills near their camp and threw
themselves into the Chagres River. AS
I have said, $3.50 Of them drowned. 1t
was because of this fact that the name
of the camp was changed to Muer-
techino, muerte meaning dead" IN
Spanish and Chino signlfylng China
man. The name has since become
perverted to Matochin. It is COM
mon saying, believed by many on the
Isthmus, that every tie on the Panama
Railroad represents dead man.

campaign he made an attempt with
q feeble force 10 cXtricate Pemberton,
but was repulscd May II, 1868, at Jack
sou and retreated to Canton. After
Bragg's- defeat at Chattanooga in No
vember he took command Of his army,
occupying position at Dalton, Ga,
which was burned by Sherman early
in May, 1864, whereupon Johnston
fell back successively to Resaca, Ala
toona Pass, kernesaw Mountain and
Atlanta, in turns fighting and flank
ing. This retreat has been variously
regarded. Gen. Johnston's friends, in
Guiding nearly all of his old soldiers,
think it was one of the mastery per-
formances Of the war, while others re-
gard it just as the Confederate author
tiles then did. Failing to tatisfy the
expectations of the authorities at Rich
mond. he was on July Il ordered to
turn over the command to Gen. Hood.
Near the close of 1865, Sherman hav-
ing burned Atlanta and marched
thence to Savannah and started bis ar
my for Columbia, Johnston was di-
rected to assume command Of the army
ofthe Tennessee and all troops in the
department of South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida, and to concentrate all
available forces and drive back Sher-
man" The force which he could con-
centrate was wholly inadequate, and
he was unable to check the march OF
the victorious army, though lie made
a gallant and last attempt at Benton
vile.
Having learned that Lee had sur
rendered the army of Virginia to Grant,
Johnston surrendered the forces under
his command to Sherman April %, at
Durham's station, near Greensboro, n.
c. He has published Narrative of
military operations directed during the
late war between the States" which he
offers as his contribution towards the
material for the future history of the
war. It is valuable work, but some
times loses force through the captious
spirit of Gen. Johnston, who very easily
took offence and replied in eNtense to
structures on his military career
whether they were just or unjusO and
censuring Mr.. Davis very severely.
HIS LIFE SINCE THE WAR.
Gen. Johnston after the war be-
came successively president OF
railroad company in Arkansas, of
an express company in Virginia and
an insurance agent in Georgia.
He was elected to Congress from the
Richmond district in 1877, and next
saw public life as commissioner of rail-
roads, which office he held under Pres
ident Cleveland's Administrations: He
lived in Washington city since he lost
his office under the present Admins
tration. In person Gen. Johnston was
a man of slender build, of not more
than medium height and with kind
ly, pleasant face. He was unobtrusive
in manner and invariably courteous to
all persons with whom he was brought
in contact,

This means Methodist population of over
25, 100000, gain of p per cent. during the
decade. To properly realize the marvellous
growth and strength of Methodism today,
few more statistics are necessary. There
are over 100000 children in Methodist
Sunday schools the world over. OF these,

they invariably refer TO questions of polity
and not of doctrine. The evangelical Ar
minianism of Wesley, which insisted on
the doctrines OF original sin, general re-
dempticn, repentance, justification by

day.
The choice of Washington as place Of
meeting was most fortunate. Not only be-
cause of its beauty and Importance as tbs
national capital, but because it is so near
Baltimore, the city so closely identified
