Monday. The honest and sturdy electors of
WaynetOwn focked to the polls and did their duty.
There was no bribery at this election, something
which so often disgraccs such occasions in un.
fortunate monarchica countries, but each free born
citizen cast his unawed and unniuenced ballot
which made him a sovereign. Had there been
one more liberty-cndowed citizen To cast a free.

The agreement with Mr.. Wyse provides that
the new company shall be organized not later
than February %, 1898, with sufficient capital
TO resume the work. Otherwise the agreement
falls through IL may also be invadated by
the iuudator's failure to continue to protect tho
property. This means simply that unless the
canal officials, in the face of universal disre-
mite can summon fresh capital to bolster up
their failing project, the Colombian seizure will
be deferred until 1898. In any event, PreSi-

The report, it is true, is sorry reading beside
some of NJ. de Lessepss rosy cOncoctions. The
Colombian demand for a specie deposit OF
S6. OOO. 900 was manifestly intended to dis
courage applications for a new concession, and
seems not to have been pressed. But Mr.. Wyse
places the cost of completion at S120,00O,OOO
the exact sum originally estimated by NJ de
Lesseps to cover the entire work. He believes
the canal can be opened in five years, and that
within ten years the profits would suffice TO
pay progressive proportionate share to the
stockholders of the old company, as well as a
dividend on the shares of its successor. The
tide-level waterway project was abandoned long
ago. 1t is now proposed to establish system
of locks, fed by an artificial lake of 10000
acres. The canal, if it is to be finished at all
must be finished in this way. But it is doubt
full whether a new association can be formed

CHANCE FOR THE PANAMA CANAL.

Lieutenant Wyse's report to the Panama
Canal liquidator holds out faint hope to in
vestors in the enterprise. A few months ago
it looked as though the Colombian Government
meant to forecose its agreement with the com
pany. This required the completion of the canal
by March 1892, and empowered the Govern
ment in case of failure, TO seize the entire work,
including all except the movable part of the
plant. AS S2SO,000,000 had been. spent up
10 the date of suspending operations, this would
have been a pretty windfall for Colombia.
President Nunez was known TO favor foreclosure,
and the National Congress was all ready to
sanction it, when Lieutenant Wyse appeared on
the scene. This present report shows that he
has achieved signal success. Tho concession
has been prolonged for Zen years, and the COM
pany has a fighting chance for its life.
Colombia's action will meet with general ap-
prevail An immediate foreclosure, it was clear,
would have been strongly resisted by the canal
company. international ill-feeling might have
