CONCESSIONS and forfeissrcs possible in
the event OF the non-com pletion of the
canal within 10 yearo from 1887. The
provisions regarding those matters were
exceedingly strict. The concession
given in 1887 would be absolutely for
feited in 1897. What title did the com.
pany have In the canal route? There
was nothing TO mortgage and nothing to
sell. The CONCESSIONS gave no title and
no sort of property rights to the COM
pany.
Taking up the question of the physical
construction of the various portions OF
the canal the senator went on to point
out the great difficulties that would
have to be overcome and to argue that
the estimated cost OF the minor canals
forming part OF the whole system were
too low and in one case-that of the
canal between Lakes Msuasua and
Nicaragua the estimate was me-e guess
work.
Turning then to the meeting OF termi-
nal points of the proposed canal, the
senator insisted that the estimates
affecting the work at those places were
much too email. The engineers naid
S2,500,000 would be required to make
the harbor at Grey town on the Atlantic.
whereas he had heard naval officer
Say $40 900. 900 would be required.
AS to Brito the Pacific terminus, the
place was not even q roadstead it was
simply q stretch Of sand on the ocean.
Regarding the statement that the con-
struotion of the canal would give work
to deserving people. the senator quotes
from report that Jamaica negroes were
the only Ones that could do the work
under tho climatic conditions existing
there. The whole thing appeared to
Mr.. Turpie as having every indication
of being q gorgeous bubble.

speech, the senate, at 4:l5 p. M, went

to an active life and came to t,eir last
breath, and the mounds underWhach they
sleep are decorated with tropical blooms.
But the greatest living volcano Of all the

earth held q convention to elect king,
and Etna- was there, and Hecla was
there, and Stromboi was there, and
Vesuvius was there, and Fusiyama was
there, and Mauna LOa was there. The
discussion in this convention of volca-
noes was heated They all spouted i'm
passioned sentiment. Some were candi-
dates for the throne and crown because
of one pre-eminence and others for 9TH
er super critics. But when it was put
to vote by unanimous reclamation XII
lauea was elected to be king of volca-
noes All the natural forces of the
earth, all the vapors, all the earth
quakes, all the hills, all the continents
voted aye. And that night was the cor
onation The throne was of lava. The
scepter was of smoke. The coronet was
of fire. And all the sublimities and
grandeurs and solemnities of the earth
kneeling at the foot of the burning
throne cried out, Long live Kilauea
of the Hawaiians!" And voice from
heaven added mightiness to the scene
as it declared, He toucheth the hills,
and they smoke. .
