The Suez Canal.

Admiral Camara's maneuvers about
the Suez canal reawakens interest in
the canal-One of the greatest engi-
neering feats in the history of the
world.
NJ. Ferdinand Lesseps was the orig
inator and builder of the canal. His
genius, his perseverance and his faith
made it success in the face of SEEM
ing impossibilities. The engineering
commission was signed at Cairo
Egypt, Nov. 10, 1854. The work was
commenced in November, 1860. The
canal extends from Port Said, on
the Mediterranean, to Suez, on the
Red sea. The whole length of the
navigation is SO geographical miles.
Of the whole distance &c miles are ac
tually canal, formed by cutting. IA
miles are made by dredge through
the lakes, and eight miles re-
quired no work. The canal has
a navigable depth of 26 feet for
a width of ~ feet at the bot
tom, and has width at the top vary
ing according to the character of the
cuttings; but in 1896 arrangements
were made with Egypt for widening
the waterway. For five or six miles
there is a passing place to enable
large vessels to moor for the night.
or to bring up to allow others to pass.
All movements of vessels through
the canal are regulated by telegraph
from Port Said, Ismailia or Suez, Just
as trains in the United Stated are ham
died by the train dispatcher.
The cost of the whole enterprise
was over $105, 200, 900. The canal
may be regarded as highway for
steamers 400 feet in length and 80 feet
beam. A vessel is considered FORUM
ate that passes through the canal
within As hours. In 1875 the British
governments purchased 175, 500 shares
from the Khedive of Egypt at the
price of nearly $40, 600, 600.
The canal is now owned principally
by the English and French. The
grand opening of the canal took place
Nov. II, 1869. The canal is now prac-
tically conducted by joint commits
sian, of which England, France and
Egypt are the leaders.

President Mckinley was major in
the civil war. Secretary Alger had
attained generals rank. Both,
therefore, had practical experience of
military matters, and should know
something about the business of rails
ing and equipping an army. They
should have known better than to put
untried civilians in important posi-
tons in the quartermaster and COM
missary departments, merely because
sordid senators and representatives
asked them to do so, when they could
have found plenty of veterans famil-
lar with those duties and able to
perform them without the blunders
and costly delays of which we have
heard so much since the army began
to assemble.

SuIncy hcrau
Up to date the great state of Illinois
has failed to pay the amount due the
volunteers. Governor Tanner was
very quick to dance, but the admins
tration is slow about paying the fid-
dler. The governor likes to get in the
glare of the calciums, but the prosaic
matter of settling the bills does not
appeal to his soul. The governor was
the first to offer troops, and they were
called to Springfield on state author
ity; but Illinois is the last to pay her
honest debt to the boys in blue. All
the other big commonwealth have
settled with their soldiers weeks ago.
The volunteers were paid at the rate
of 81 per diem from the time they
left for their camps till they were
either formally mustered into the

GEN. WHEELER is 81 years of age,
yet few days ago he climbed tree
as nimbly as boy of II, and seated
on lofty branch calmly surveyed the
defenses of Santiago through a field
glass. Wheeler, the Dubuque Tele-
graph continues, is finding in the
war with Spain the rejuvenant which
Ponce de Leon vainly sought in Flor
ida, and it might be added that
Wheeler doubtless has much clearer
conscience than he did the last time
he was at the head of an army.

THE Boston Herald hits the center
when it says: There is no reason for
he persistency with which the Ha-
waiian annexation scheme is urged
except the good and sufficient one that
if time is given to the American peo-
pie to think over the matter and to
inform themselves of the motives of
those who are pushing this project
ahead, they will never consent to its
adoption. What is there that we can
do with Hawaii in the way of using
it as military or naval basis after
annexation that we cannot do at the
present time? Absolutely nothing"
