No further reports have been current

however, apprehension is easily excited
by the Pope'S slightest sickness and his

The Isthmian Canal commission, for
which Congress appropriated a million
dollars to inspect the several proposed
routes for an the inter-ocesnic canal
through Central America, as previous
ly stated, has made its reports, in
which it is ated that the Panama
route was not considered. People IN
familiar with the ways in which
things are done 10 this country, look
upon this statement as passing strange,
in view of the fact that the Panama
route is more than q hundred miles
shorter than any Of the other routes,
has an excellent natural port at each
end, and is partly completed. Those
more sophisticated, however, are not at
all surprised. They know that now, in
the United States, more than in any
other country, things are not what
they seem.
