Headquarters in De Lesseps House.
1.-The commission established it's head
quarters in the old De Lesseps houses at
Colon, and from there made daily trips to
the various points of Importance along
the canal line, usually passing the entire
day at the more important places. The
weather was fairlyl good, and, although
there were heavy rains at times, they
were not permitted to interfere with the
work of the commission.

There is no sickness of consequence at the

by the commission was mild type Of ma

the new republic.
Sanitary Conditions Fairly Good.
Sanitary conditions were fully examined
into by the sanitary experts accompany

matters were found in fairly good condition.
The large hospital at Panama, belonging
to the French company, will require some
repairs and renovations; later, probably
some engagements, but 1t is In reasonably
good condition, more so than was perhaps
expected. Keen interest Is felt by the IN
habitants of the isthmus in the movements
of the commission and the prop sed legis-

with more promises out than an angel
from on high could have redeemed. Mr..
Cleveland iloundored through the whole
-four years and returned to private life
execrated by ninc-tenths of his former
followers, aud a man without a party.
His reply 10 Il all was an application OF
the story OF the Indian and the wlgwam:
Cleveland not lost. party lost. Glove
land here" At any rate, MIR. Cleveland
and his party were separated. and
through the medium Of lectures and
newspapers he Is engaged now In telling
us all about It.
Well. why not? asks the Washington
Star. A democratic national conven-
ton approaches. and In soma quarters
there Is a demand for the return OF Mr..
Cleveland TO leadership. With all his
faults and failures. there are those who
love him still. Does he love them? Is
he willing to try his hand again? Sure!
He Is aiding his friends all he can.
Criticism has pointed out the matters
that need clearing up. and he is address,

cry now Is, let the democracy return Ia

CONDITIONS NOT THE SAME
There Is n Vast Difference Between
the Political Outlook Of 1884
and That Of 1904.

The democratic papers which are trac-
Ing fancied semblances between the
social and economic conditions OF 1904
and those which existed In 1884. when a
democrat was elected president, are
astray. The republican party was In
power then. as now. and an assasslna-
ton three years earlier. In both cases,
sent the vice president 10 the higher Of
fee. In both cases II va an ohio man
who was killed and a New Yorker who
succeeded him. but the s%imilarlties do
not extend much farther. while the con
trasts are striking and decisive.
In the early days OF 1884 the silver
menace was Just coming M. while the
greenback peril had not yet been entire
ly eliminated. Weaver. the g%rcenbaok
party's presidential candidate. had re-
,oiyed 800 900 votes In the election Just
previous to that year. which was the
largest poll eycr scored by a presidential
nominee for that party. Butler, the
grcenbacker. was To poll 1874 900 votes la
1881. The gold reserve In the treasury
was small. and a getting smaller.
Bankers were uneasy over the outlook.
In May, 1884, several bank wrecks took
place In New York city, melting some
thing like n panic on Wall street. The
opposite conditions, In every respect,
prevail to-day.
As regards the strictly political con-
ditions. says the 81. Louis Globc-Dcm
ocrat, the contrast between 1904 land
1854 Is equally marked. Unlike 1881
