THE rsTHMIAN CANAL.
About $1,000 Laborers, Half of Whom
Are Skilled, Are at Work.

Chicago, Oct John F. Wallace,
chief engineer of the Panama canal,
delivered an address on ''The Isthmian
Canal" at banquet given him here
Friday night by 400 members Of the
illinois Manufacturers association at
the Auditorium hotel
Mr.. Wallace said, in part: "The
work before us now is to determine
the most practical plan and whether
the canal is to be on the level of the
sea or above. Estimates on canal
90 feet above the sea level have been
placed at $144,O00,OO0 for con-
struction work, $40000,000 to France
and $10,000,000 to the Panama
government. On my arrival in Pana-
ma three months ago I placed eight
parties in the field for exploration pur-
poses. Were we to choose the plans
providing for 80 feet above the sea
level number of dams would be nee
essary. After considerable investiga-
ton we found that solid rock neces-
be found less than $50 feet below the
surface of the earth. With the sea
level canal one dam at the Pacific end.
Of the canal is all that is necessary.
While the cost of the latter form Of
construction is higher, the results
would be better and the canal could
at any time be changed. AS yet it
has not been definitely decided which
form of canal will be accepted, as the
canal commission has not received the
report of my investigations.
Nothing serious is expected from
the labor problem, as has been re-
ported. About 10000 laborers, half of
whom are skilled workmen, are at
work at present. While the efficiency
of their work is not as great as can
be secured, still it is adapted to the
climate, as the cities bordering on the
canal are almost uninhabitable to out
siders because of their poor sanitary
conditions"

were aware of the exact moment of
dissolution. -
The attending physicians despaired
of the senator's life six weeks ago, but
such was the vitality exhibited by
their distinguished patient that even
they were surprised and the public
was at times led to cherish faith III
an ultimate recovery.
On Sunday last, however, all hope
was abandoned after last unsucceSs-
full attempt to administer medicine
and nourishment. Brief intervals were
followed by longer durations of uncon-
sciousness until Tuesday morning,
when the venerable statesman sank
into a state of coma from which all
efforts to rouse HIM proved futile.
During the last hours there was not
a movement of the body and only a
scarcely perceptible pulse evidenced
the final struggle.
There were present at the bedside
when death came the senator's son.
Gen. lockwood Hoar; his daughter.
Mary Hoar, and DR.. Warren r. Gill
man, who for weeks has been in al
most constant attendance upon the
senator.
Intelligence of Senator Hoars de-
mise was first communicated by telc-
phone from the residence to the press
by DR.. Gilman. Immediately after
prearranged signal was transmitted
on the fire alarm system and the long
dreaded tidings were conveyed to the
Leople of the city by the tolling Of the.
church bells. t
Arrangements were made to notify
the public in this manner when the
physicians attending him decided tina.
the venerable legislator was on his
death bed.
Senator Hoar had been in i'll health
since last winter and even when at
tending the sessions of the senate he
was obliged to exercise extreme, care
lest his exertions should overcome
him. At that time he was troubled
with lumbago and the death of his
wife in Washington proved such a
blow that he never recovered entirely
from it's effects.
Toward the close of the last session
Of congress he was frequently absent
from the sessions of the senate and
remained at his hotel
He came to his home here soon aft
er the adjournment, apparently recov-
cred from the attack of lumbago. Late
in May he attended the biennial cele-
bration in the town of Sutton, Wcr-
cester county, and made a speech of
more than half hours duration in
the open air at the dedication of a
memorial tablet to Gen. Rufus Put
nam on the site of Putnam's birth
place. Mr.. Hoar made an historical
address. eulogizing Gen. Putnam as
one of the country's greatest men.
A few weeks later Senator Hoar
spoke at a special session of court
when eulogies were delivered on the
life of Col. f. B. Stoddard, a life long
friend of the senator, and he also
made an informal afternoon address
at the English high school on the oc-
casion of the presentation to the city
of some copies of Stuart's portrait of
Washington by the Daughters of the
Revolution.
This was Senator Hoar's last ap-
pearance in public life. During the
latter part of July and up to August
II he remained in his home and much
of the time stayed in bed He receiv-
ed visitors daily and dictated many
letters to his secretary.
