mining expert of large practical ex-

pretty thoroughly few years ago, and
reported that in there the eastern and

been concentrated" The opposition
of the natives and the extremely
rugged nature of the country have
heretofore retarded it's development.

PANAMA CANALS CONDITION,
British Consular Report Upon the Statu,
and Outlook.


The British consular officers at Pa
mama and Santa Martha describe in
their last reports the present condi-
ton of the work on the canal across
the isthmus and of the railway con-
Meeting the Atlantic with the Pacific,
says the London Times.
The New Canal Company, formed in
Paris in 1894 to continue and complete
ten lock canal rising to maximum
altitude of 1873 feet, s inches, in place
of the original sea-level scheme of M.
de Lesseps. has made good progress
with the small capital at its disposal,
and the reduced canal trough, or
cunette, in the Emperador and Culebra
sections is now assuming definite pro-
portions.
Although the end in view was the
final completion of the canal, it could
hardly have been supposed that this
great undertaking could have termin-
ated and the canal opened for mari
time traffic with only e2,5OO, 600 of
which only about half was to be spent
on the canal proper.
The work is of a purely experiment
al character, in order to demonstrate
that a lock canal is feasible. 1t con-
sists of watercOurse 9St feet wide at
the surface, with half that depth of
bed. About 100000, 600 have been
sixteen years ago for the purpose of
the canal and have been spent in one
way or another.
The railway from Colon to Panama
was constructed in 1855 by company
registered in New York of which Mr..
Aspinwall was the leading spirit. The
concession expires in 1866, and costs
the company s25O,OOO a year. Almost
the wLOle of the shares are held by
the canal company.
During the ten years preceding 1893
the company paid an average dividend
of - per cent per annum; but during
the last four years the net earnings
have been applied to the purchase of
three large ocean-going steamers and
otherwise to improve and protect the
com pany's interests as carriers.
The traffic has decreased recently
owing to small crops and the competi-
tion of tramp" steamers that carry
produce through the straits of Magel-
Ian at cheap rates. But there is an
increase in the traffic from the Allan
tic to the Pacific owing to improved
arrangements with steampship COM
panies on the Pacific coast. Last year
nearly 100000 tons of goods and 1o3 900
passengers were conveyed by the rail
way.-TwO Republics.

IT is a source of modification to all
true Americans that, while we have
such vast wheat crop and other pro =

Now that the inspiration of the mo-
ment has cooled into settled conviction
one may safely speak of some of the
lessons of the recent Christian Erdeay.
or Convention.
Tha first lesson apparent to all was
the old adage of Chaucer: Like shep-
herd, like sheep" The societies whose
pastors and leaders are well known for
their honest, constant interest in the
G. e. cause, because of the spiritual
help it is to the people, were the best
represented at the convention. Shirley,
Deerield and West Branch, each four
teen miles distants were t. hstter re.
presented than some of the societies
nearby. Friesburg, ten miles away had
thirty delegates on the floor.
The law is an established fact.
The truth is a sad one, even in the
extreme. Who viii! suggest a remedy2
The second lesson, came in the form
of an eml basis of the old saying that
''you II never make something out of
n0thing.' The a who conviDees
the church of this and arOuses her out
of the awful lethargy Of false economy
into which she has sunk, will have his
name enshrined by a grateful posterity.
The matter of fact way i'll which this
age pays its tens Of dollars for taxes
and its pennies for gospel work, and
does so with a suspicion of something
being wrong, is a very sad omen.
The committee iDiudiciously ordered
all preparations for this convention to,
be made ON the most economical scale
possible. This was a sad blunder.
Rev. Mr.. MacMinD, rightly spread a
little tempered sarcasm on this short
sighted policy. Until we honor all di-
vinely appointed or chosen methods Of
reaching the unsaved, by giving them
our heartiest support, we will eve
reach the youth of this electric age.
A third lesson presented itself in the
eXcellency of the addresses and papers
read. The educational value of these
conventions cannot be over estimated.
Let us aim at always securing the very
best talent, and the very best attend.
ence to profit by it.
A fourth lesson was that furnished
in the lunch room at 6 z. M. We were
all surprised at the power in a little
persistent good will in and entertaining
committee That noble half dozen de-
serve a great deal Of credit for the COM
forts which they insisted on Supplying,
even contrary to the rules of the Union.
May the Holy Spirit guide the coun-
sells of Pastor MacMinn, and bring him
and his people to realize many Of their
high ideals i'll the service of God.
THE PRESIDENT.

1t was just sixty years last Sunday
June 20th), since the young Princess
Victoria was notified at Kensington
Palace that by reason of the death of
her uncle, King William ", she was
Queen of England. Eight days later,
June 2Sth, 1887, her coronation took
place at famous Westminster Abbey.
Victoria has ruled for a longer period
than any other sovereign of Great Brit
ain. George Ill. had a reign of sixty
years, but the last ten years of it was
under q regency, as the sovereign dur
ing this period was blind and hopeless
ly insane. The supremacy OF Queen
Victoria in this respect, therefore, is
without question, and it can also be
said for her reign that it was the most
notable in all that contributes to the
greatness of a country and the prosper
lily of the aristocracy. There were
troubles, but its achievements were
glorious, and during its continuance
Great Britain became a vast empire,
and the title of the ruling sovereign be-
came Queen of Great Britain and Ire
land and Empress of India. In all that
a sovereign can do, in a government
like that of England, Queen Victoria
