hama, Japan, is 1000 miles, and
through the Panama Canal it would
be reduced to 1O,O88 miles. From
New York to Shanghai, China, the
saving in distance through the canal
would amount to 1889 miles. To the
Oriental countries the saving is thus
not so great as along our own coast
and to our Pacific Ocean possessions.
owing to the fact that China and
japan are nearly opposite us on the
globe. But to Hawaii there would
be a distinct saving of 6,5S1 miles.
Saving in time and distance does
not mean so much to sailing vessels,
but it is very important to ocean
steamers. With coal at three or four
dollars per ton wholesale, the saving
In money from a trip through the
Panama Canal would quickly mount
up into thousands of dollars. It is
estimated that from New York to
San Francisco the actual saving in
coal for the average freight steamer
would be $4,000. The saving in time
would be even more important. a
steamer on this line makes only about
two round trips a year through the
Strait of Magellan, but through the
Panama Canal at least five round
trips a year probably could be made.

GENERAL NEWS
The Lesser Events of Last Week.

Judge White, holding a special
term of the Supreme Court of Brook
Ign, N. Y, has decided that the law
forbidding employees to work longer
than eight hours a day is unconsti-
tutional. He granted writs of mar
damus to compel the city to pay
$4,000 which had been withheld OF
street-paving contracts under the
contention that the contractors had
violated the labor law.
The Secretary of War has issued
a general order designed to prevent
cruelty to horses in the military
service. 1t is as follows: "Any al
teration in the length or shape of the
tails, names or forelocks of public
horses by docking, banging or clip
ping, is hereby prohibited, and only
such reasonable trimming and pluck
ing as may be necessary to prevent
shagginess of appearance will be per-
mitted."
Ex-senator Vest, of Missouri, who
died last week, was the last surviving
member of the Confederate - States
Senate. When Augustus E. Maxwell.
of Florida, passed away in May, 1905,
he left Mr.. Vest as the only living
man whom he had been associated
with in the upper branch of the
government upon which the South
staked so much. Mr.. Vest was one
of the comparatively few men who
had the distinction of serving in the
Congresses of two nations which
could not find room together on this
broad earth. In the armies and N
the legislative halls of the Confed-
acy he remained until the Cenfed-
Acy was no more. Then he went
back to peaceful occupations under
the old flag, and was so thoroughly
reconstructed that for twenty-four
years the reunited nation knew nc
more gallant champion than he.

Value of the Panama Canal to Commerce

The value of the canal to the COM
nerce of the world can be readily I'M
derstood by any boy or girl who will
ritter to a common map of the world.
Both the United States and Europe
will reap great benefits from it. By
the present route, steamers sailing
from New York to San Francisco
by way of the Strait of Magellan
must cover some $1,000 miles, includ-
ing the usual stops required for
coaling. When the canal across the
Isthmus of Panama is opened the
distance will be shortened to 1924
miles-a saving of nearly 5000 miles.
Steamers bound from European ports
would find almost equal advantages.
Those sailing from Hamburg to San
Francisco would have their present
route shortened by 5,649 miles.
Steamers sailing from New York
to Australia and New England now
go by the way of Cape of Good
Hope. By going through the new
canal this route would be shortened
between $500 and 5,175 miles, accord
ing to the port they were bound for.

board must now pass through the
