a NATURAL ROADSTEAD
/ From Mirafores the canal route extends
| a distance of more than four miles
through a low swamp country, following
the Rio Grande to the Panama Bay at
La Boca where a large and substantial
wharf has been constructed \ dredged
channel two hundred feet vide extends
from the pier about four and a half miles
to the six fathom line in the bay; two
miles of this channel are through fats
which are bare at low water. Beyond
this is a natural roadstead, sheltered by
sma.4 islands.
From Culebra northward the line Of the
canal is marked by vast accumulations OF
machinery of every possible kind. It
would impress the natural observer that
everything had been bought by thousands
when only scores could by any possibility
be required. Some Of this material may
be utilized. but a great portion Of it IS
worthless

Of l 2-5ths degrees from the temperature

1t was said there was nothing unusual
in these fluctuations, as the temperature
in such cases generally falls one or
two degrees in the morning as compared
with the previous night, and the higher
temperature for the "a hours is not
viewed with any alarm. 1t shows that

climax is reached.
The Crisis.
When the crucial point will be passed
is problematical, as it is not known
positively where or when the typhoid
was acquired. Senator Hanna was first
taken i'll three weeks ago Saturday and
the physicians figure that if he has had
the fever ever since then the crucial
point should be reached Sunday. This,
however, is only guesswork, in view of
the uncertainty of the origin of the dis
ease. The senator's stomach is in bet
ter condition and he is taking nourish-
ment much more satisfactorily than
heretofore. Many inquiries are being
received regarding the senator's condi-
ton, and many callers are sending cards
of sympathy. Senator Beveridge was
among the early callers Saturday morn
ing.
