when the first Sunday school bad

passed beneath the triumphal arch
which had been erected near the lake,
the last end of the procession was Just

park. The children marched silently
until the head of the procession reached
.he reviewing stand. and then at sig
nal from the leader simultaneously the
notes of the "Star Spangled Banner"
that most inspiring of songs, rang out
strong and clear. and the words were
taken up by each separate Sunday
school until 10000 lusty young throats
IN unison were singing the national an

NICARAGUA CANAL INSPECTED
Commission Finds the Work in First GLASS
Condition.

Chicago. June ia dispatch TO the
Times Herald from Washington, refer
ring TO the work Of the commission APP
pointed TO inspect the route and pre-
liminary work on the Nicara guam canal
saws the engineers reached Greytown,
the eastern terminus of the canal, on
May 10, aud began an examination of
the property and improvements of the
canal company at that port. one OF
the most important of these is break
water 200 feet long, which extends
out into the sea. The construction of
this was begun In December, 1889, with
the result ms predicted by engineers,
of increasing the depth of water in the
bay, so that the depth on the bar is
twelve feet at the present time. Not
witbstanding the repeated efforts of the
engineers to prevent the ravages of the
teredo Oh the timbers of the breakwa-
ter the commissioners find that the
wood was badly eaten.
That portion of the canal already
built, extending west from Greytown
toward the San Juan River, was found
In splendid condition. The embank-
ments on each side have stood the eff
fleets OF the weather remarkably well
and show no serious effects from the
rainfall The hospitals and other build
ings were found In n good state of pre-
seryation. The railroad which the ca
nal company has built along the route
for the transportation Of material and
men has already been thoroughly in
spected and found in good condition.
The crumbling 'i,e earth from the
cliffs and the washlngs from surface
drainage have not been as disastrous
as expected and 1t Is said this oblec.
ton, so often urged against the feast
billy OF the canal, has fallen fiat
While the canal passes through very
wet region, where the annual precipI-
tatiop is nearly twcnty-six feet, the
effects of the movement of such an
enormous quantity Of water have not
been bad and give no indication tba;
the sides of the canal will be washed
down In few years, an objection 80
often urged against the project.
About two weeks ago the canal co,n-
mission moved on from Greytown 20
Lake Nicaragua and after visiting
Grauada, the principal lake city, and
Nicaragua, the capital, passed from
Nicaragua to the Pacific along the
route Of the canal, n distance Of about
fourteen miles. This section OF the
route offers no obstacles to the con
strpctioD Whatever and will simply be
q matter Of excavation.
