EXPLORING THE PANAMA CANAL
Graphic Account Trip View the Waterway Undertaken
by Captain William CoaIes of New York. Queer
Foundation of De Lesseps Palace.

A trip through part of the Panama
canal in a naphtla launch was feat
accomplished recently by party of
amateur explorers under the guidance
of Captain William Coales of New
York.
1T was a great canal trip and one |
did not expect to take" said Captain
Coales the other day to reporter of
the New York Times. 81 saw more
queer sights than were ever set down
in the reports made to the governments
of the various countries interested in
the isthmian canal problem. We saw
wild natives, crocodiles, and in the
Jungle on either side Of the canal the
tropical growth was just crowded with
cranes and large herons, all of beautl-
full plumage.
1.-THE way we came to make the trip
was peculiar. Fifty years ago l went
on a journey around Cape Horn to san
Francisco. We went in clipper, ana
1T took. over three months. thought
on the fiftieth anniversary or that trip
that | would go down and cross the
isthmus and then come up to san
Francisco. went OH the steamer ORR
zaba in April, and when we got to
Colon | met some young fellows, and III
taking about sea trips one of them
said why, there is an old naphtha
launch belonging to Wardlaw. Say we
rig it up aud take a trip up the Panama
canal
81 know something about naphtha
launches because | had been tinkering
around that kind of machinery for
years We got out the launch and, aft
er fussing around for couple of hours,
got it working. Then the question came
as to who were to make up the party.
Robert Wilcox, who is engaged in busl-
ness in Colon. offered to go. His busi-
ness is trading with the Indians. He
KNOWS their iargOn like book. Henry
M. Shearer, who is in business in Cali,
Colombia. was also of the party. Cap
fain Smith of the OriZaba also wanted
to join the expedition. Then we took
along the purser. Mr.. Spencer. and he
took along half II ton OF ice and many
other good things.
"The first thing we had to do was to
go and see the alcalde of the district
about the trip. because we were told
that Indians near the end OF the canal
were very wild. The alcalde told It's we
had better carry on our launch the
American and English flags. We rugged
the American flag ut the stern and the
English flag at the bow and at 10
O'clock one pleasant morning started
from Colon.
II forgot one member of the crew.
He was a big Jamaica darby feet
3 inches. Before we got through the
journey he was the most valuable of
the crew. Captain Smith took the
helm, and Wilcox looked after the en-
CINE. and | kept a weather eye ont.
Around a small point not far from Co
lon there is the mouth Of the Chagres
river, which crosses and recrosses the
canal. 1t was at 10 o'clock on the
morning of the 18th of April when we
rounded the point which has been
made partly solid ground by hundreds

London, Sept. 26.-Charles T.. Yerkes,
the American railroad magnate arrived
here yesterday and immediately began the
holding of conferences regarding his Lon

engaged in a critical struggle with the,

for another underground electric railway
in London will be considered when parlia-
ment resumes its session in October.
The Morgan route is practically the
same as that Of the existing district rail-
way! Of which Mr.. Yerkes recently OBJ
tanned control and which he says, will be
equipped with electric traction in eighteen
months Mr. Yerkes declares that If par
lament authorizes a rival line it would
positively ruin the district railway. which

given to lay an opposition line. which

THE GOMBlNE.-THE PEOPLE.

The packers combine is an accom-
plished fact, all the big packing houses
now being directed by one head, not
withstanding the statute against COM
binations in restraint of trade. The
whole dressed meat business of the
United States is now of the trust, for
the trust and by the trust. When the
packing houses were operated separ-
ately, it was for the money there was
in the business, and mammoth estab-
lishments were built up, the owners
becoming wealthy, some of them i'm
mensely rich. From the standpoint
OF the people who furnish the cattle
and hogs from the ranges and farms,
and the people who consume the
dressed product, it doubtless looked as
though the packers, in their indepen-
dent state, were getting their full
share of the meat in it's passage from
the hoof to the kitchen. But the ma
MIA for combination and the power to
cinch the people from start to finish
seized them, and now the stockmen
have but one buyer for their stock
and the consumer but one seller from
whom to purchase their meat, and that
buyer and seller one and the same per-

A naval officer engaged in ordnance

awakened his wife by starting UP in

''She must have a new jacket! /
must manage to get one for her!'
The wife, knowing her husbands s
slumbers had never before been dis
turbed by the requirements of her
wardrobe, became vastly agitated and
gripped him by the arm.

son, with the power to pay what he
pleases on the hoof and ask what he
pleases for the dressed article
Considering the immensity of the
business, the power thus acquired by
this combination is alarming. The
desire for such power may be, as some
trust defenders contend, philantMopic,
but that is open to grave doubts No
man has ever been known to secure,
or attempt to secure, a monopoly Of
any product except for the purpose of
making money out of it by it's absolute
control.
That this is the object of this mo-
nopoly there can be no reasonable
doubt. If the packers. operating in
dendently, not being satisfied with the
colossal fortunes they accumulated at
the expense of the people, have COM
bined to absolutely monopolize and
control the meat product of the ma
ton, it is as certain as death that an
additional tax. in TIE shape of higher
prices for meat as compared with it's
cost, is to be imposed cn the consum-
ers-the American people. It is up to
them to say what they will do about
it-be and remain at the mercy of the
combine without a protest, kick and
howl and do nothing, or get to work
and organize every where for their
protection. Organization by a few
capitalists has put the people in jeop-
ardy of haying to pay exorbitant
prices for one of the main articles of
food, and organization by the people
must be the means to thwart the ra-
pacity of the few.
Organize to combat the combine by
buying from the stock raiser as much
as POSSIBLE through the butchers or
ganization, and to carry the question
into Congress for the passage of such
laws against restraint of trade as will
restrain.
