of the representatives of twentv-fO1r countries
for the purpose of discussing the plan for an In
teroceanic canal between the Atlantic and the
Pacific oceans. De LeSsepS was chosen presi-
dent. and the congress decided that canal
should be built.
Since then there has been no time when efforts
were not being made to bring about the compile
tion of the great work 1t done on the spot
at the money exchanges and in the council
chambers of many countries Although the
Panama Canal seems to be a myth TO many per-
sons the report of a civil engineer who recently
visited the work shows that great deal has
been accomplished. The iSthmuS along the line
of the railroad. he says. is covered with dwell
ings, Sidings, contractors plants and material
for construction of every description. The dwell
lugs are built of galvanized corrugated iron, and
could house twice as many officials and work.

buildings erected by the original canal company
include one group for hospital purposes. which
cost S2000.0oo. The company has also branch
hospital at Colon. and a sanatCrium on the isl
and Of Taboga, which resembles summer hoteL
The writer SAYS also that the reports OF ex-
tremely unhealthy conditions of the isthmus are
unfounded- He says that the railroad and canal
employees now living on the route OF the canal
are perfectly free from any unusual diseases
The new company was organized in 1871. II
employed three thousand men IN lSS9 and TINS
force was increased by one thousand men tne
next year. In 1897 the working force numbered
thirty-siX hundred men.

RIVER STfAMfRS AGAIN IN
COMBINATION
Ruinous Rate War Terminates for Down
Stream Business. Steamers Still Cut
On the Upstream Traffic.

The general impression Is that the war
will probably continue there dh,II the end
Of the open season.
One Of the reasons that Is said to have
aetuated the companies to restore the old
rate on the down river business was
pressure brought to bear by officials and
others who wer afraid the low rate would
cause the KIondISs country to fill up with
men who cOGid Ant nothing to do, The
low rates prevailing on the upstream bu,I-
ness will, Il Is thought, have good effect
on Dawson. II viii have a tendency to
reduce the population Of that city so as to
make Il commensurate with the business
needs.
