member of the court, had ever heard
foreign music before. They were de-
lighted. The EMPRESS Dowager was

pf the band told me that her favorite
piece was "Marchtig Through Geor.

II Hung Chang, who was then in dis.

came shortly before I arrived In Pekin,
and was put up ct the palace by q
Swiss merchant, through whom It was
purchased. When it was in order he
wound 1t up and sent for the Empress
Dowager. She came into the room with
her ladies In waiting, took her seat

1t appears that work on the Panami

evidently are merely occupying the
ground, with a show Of activity, In or
Ter that French rights will mot be for

The general facts stated by Consul
Wintersmith are Of interest. He thinks
that the canal can be completed BY an
outlay Of $10o.0oo.000 under improved
Methods OF construction such Is are
applied at the present tins to canal
and railroad work. The entire survey
I'd route of the canal, from ia

,ne-half Of the distance, or. say. TWEEN,
;y-two miles. A great amount OF work
,as been performed on other portions
If the route and the greatest dificul
les have been partially overcome.
1t appears that the De Lesseps syndi
.ate expended nearly $500. 900, coo on
this work. at least one-half Of which
was squandered uselessly OF stolen out.
light. Some Of the extravagant ex.
~penditures are described In this re
port. Vast rows OF substantially con-
structed tenement houses were built
or the accommodation Of laborers on
the canal. As the work progressed a
few miles these buildings were vacat-
ID and became worthless and new
buildings were erected. Thrifty and
ronsiderate contractors would have
provided portable boarding houses and
barracks that could have been removed
rom point to point along the line Of
obstruction.
Costly residences for the governor
nd superintendent, immense hospitals
and other buildings were erected. a
mansion costing $4,000 was erectet

cost for bis son. The old man made q
royage to Panama and stayed four days

estimate Of $100.0O0,0o0 e the cost OF

1t might be accomplished for half tn
money or less.
