THE PANAMA CANAL.

| I IHILE the project for constructing ship
| w canal across Nicaragua remains in condition
"A that may be best described open for dis
cusson, the Panama enterprise is moving ahead
slowly indeed but with sufficient momentum to JUS
| ty fear that if something is not speedily done or
our part it may be completed while we are yet talk
ing, and the great waterway will be under European
instead of American control.
According to a special correspondent OF the Lon
don Chronicle, whose is not given, but who is
described by the Chronicle as British resident OF
Colon and thoroughly experienced and competent
engineer the outlook for the successful accomplish
ment of the great undertaking of De Lesseps is by
no means discouraging.
In his report he says the work at present is going
on but slowly and the progress is small The enter
prise is hampered by the ntrgues OF the mpecunious
Government of the republic and the opposition of the
Panama railway, but nevertheless something is being
done and the labor on the canal is never wholly
stopped.
1t is estimated there have been expended upon the
canal about 100000 pounds sterling and that about
f6oooooo of this represents work actually done,
while about 100000 more represents experience
bought and paid for" shop machinery, buildings and
appurtenances which necessary, and therefore of
value to those who may undertake to complete the
work within the next ten years. 1t is added, however,
II the WOrk were TO De DeSun over again with the
knowledge and experience possessed, all that has
been attained thus far could be duplicated for about
fifteen millions of pounds, and this is regarded
as not unreasonable estimate to put upon the prop
erty of the canal company upon the isthnlus.
Regarding the possibilities Of the work from an
engineering point of view the correspondent says:
II favor sea-leve canal which believe be more
feasible here than lock system canal, and quite
economical of construction. Either be built;
but the sea-level canal will undoubtedly give the
greater degree of satisfaction Under competent d-
rection the Panama canal can in my opinion, be
peted as a sea-evel canal for twenty-five thirty
millions of pounds sterling, and the work. if taken in
hand vigorously, would be completed in ten years
maximum"
From this showing, made upon what is presumably
competent and impartial authority, it appears that
the French enterprise is by dead. Whether
it will revive full life and draw from European cap
talists enough money TO complete it will depend
upon the course taken by the United States with
spect to the Nicaragua canal There will be no need
of two waterways, and if our project is pushed for
ward the French scheme will be abandoned as I'm
profitable. If we continue to delay, however, the
Panama enterprise may be carried out. We shall
then see the consequences of hesitating in great
movement of this kind. The waterway will be
opened, but not by American energy nor will it be
operated in American interests

PACIFIC SLOPE MEN.

OMETHING Of an old story is that OF the
\ wonderful rush of the Oregon around the
Horn and her arrival at the Floridan coast II
mt condition to at to the fighting line OF the
fleet OH Santiago. 1t has been recounted many time:
and explained in many ways. Credit for the srea
performance has been given to the naval architects
who designed her. to the men who constructed her
to her gallant commander Captain Clark, and to heI
skillful engineers. Now, however new explanation
OF the feat has been put forth, and as it from
Chief Engineer Milgan himself it is of interest, not
withstanding that the story is more than twcetod
tale.
The New York Commercial Advertiser quotes the
chief engineer having said in recent speech: cat
one port Captain Clark told me he wanted to make
the next port in ten hours fourteen knots hour
l told him / didn't think the men could stand the
strain Soon afterward l found there meeting
among the assistant engineers they insisting that they
could make the port in ten hours; and did.
The stood three watches at the engines and two
in the freroom. Most of our men are Pacific Slope
men,"
That incident deserves commemoration among the
records of the war. There are thousands of brave
men in the armies and navies who follow
wherever their leaders go, and obey without hesita-
ton every word of command. The engineers Of the
Oregon, however, showed a courage and ardor OF
PATRIOTISM ABOVE tnat After tneif OnlCeIS Hdd de-
cided that a certain work desirable in itself would
impose too great strain upon them they held a
council of their and insisted upon undertaking
the task Their enthusiasm had its way, and their
physical manhood the results showed proved equal
to the strenuous task their valiant souls had
prompted.
Due attention must also be given to the statement
of the chief engineer, Most of men are Pacific
Slope men," Among the people of the East there is
a vague theory that the mdness of the Pacific climate
and the absence of what they call the bracing rgors
of winter tend to weaken the muscular and the
vous strength of the white race-producng a sort of
low vitality like that of the inhabitants OF tropic
countries.
multitude of victories by Californian champions
in all forms of athletic contests has demonstrated time
and again the alseness of the theory, but it still
wives 1t is fitting, therefore, to impress upon the
public the fact that the heroes of the engine-room
who carried the Oregon through that record breaking
feat were Pacific Slope men, and that they endured
the terrific strain without breaking down at any point
from the time they steamed away from California
til they forged ahead OF other warshps at Santiago
and won the honors of the battle that destroyed the
feet of Spain.

THE CRETAN PROBLEM.

I the outbreak OF fanatic violence in Crete,
~ sulting in the killing of a number of British
- soldiers well as the footing of the British and
the German consuates at Gambia, the reported al
lance between Great Britain and Germany will be put
to test that will soon make known the public the
| extent to which the two powers have agreed to
operate in international affairs.
1t is true the treaty reported does not directly
refer to the Crean question to any other problem
growing out OF the rapid degeneration of the Turk
sh empire. Such issues, however, appear to be
sariy involved in by of their close relation
to the affairs of Egypt and Syria that are the main
and essential features OF the agreement 1t is clear
that if Great Britain is to be assured quiet posses
sion OF Egypt and German interests Syria are to be
guaranteed peaceful development the two powers
will have to act with a united force in maintaining
order in Crete and in all adjacent parts of the emp
of the Sultan.
Whatever motives of selfish gain may have moved
the British and the Germans to arrange their re-
ported alliance it clear that joint action on their
part in Crete would be in the interests of humanity
and the welfare of the oppressed people of the island
Events have proven that the Sultan is incapable of
fulfilling his treaty obligations and protecting Chris
tians in his domnions. Nor since the disastrous re-
suit of the with Turkey can Greece be expected
to do anything to prevent the anarchy and slaughter
arising out OF the antagonism between the hostile
races and religions among the inhabitants. AS it
necessary for to intervene in Cuba so now it
Is necessary for power of rstclass strength to
intervene in Crete.
Experience has shown that little reliance can be
placed upon the much Wanted concert of Europe"
That institution is yet inchoate and confused
to act with vigor upon any issue. The reported al
lance between Great Britain and Germany however,
furnishes exactly the power that the time and the
occasion call for. A combination controlling the
greatest feet and the greatest army in the world pos
sessing unlimited wealth and made up of the two most
masterful and vigorous in Europe, could easily
settle the Crean problem-and such is their prestige
among nations they would hardly risk war in do
ing it. for It is not likely that any power or combina
ton of powers would interfere with them
This situation of affairs gives new interest to the
old problem. The world has heard so much of Cretan
instructions for three generations past it would pay
the possibility that it may bring to light the terms Of
the new coalition and the allies make Joint
demonstration of their power in the Levant The
crisis is like that of the suspense in theater when
tor long time ordinary actors have gone on deve-
opng plot and the climax has been reached and the
audience waits for the stars to appear in their dom
inant roles In the Cretan tragedy the scene is all
set the supreme issue is reached What will Britain
mia and Germania do when they step forth upon the
stage?

We again defend the position of the
marshal during his term of Office and

but uses that discretion which the

We will not in the future attempt a
defense of distorted articles, for the
people will be ready to see in which

question whether the fair name of

good purpose. We brand such state
maliciously false and without justifi-
been for two years past more orderly

There is no need of law and order

without protection, although the for
nation of such society as was sug-
gested at the last meeting is certainly
all right theoretically. But is it prac-
tically? We do not exactly love to
