 SHOW SIZE OF CANAL
Ditch Will Cost Nearly Three Times as Much as Suez Canal-Machin- cry StreWn Everywhere.
 How Negroes Work.
BY CHARLES H. cocHRANE.

Colon. Panama November 30.-(Special) The first Encouragement to the engin- eers who were sent down to look over the ground by the United tSates canal com mission must have come with their primal glimpse of the chaos left behind by De Lesseps and the New French Panama Canal company The route of the ditch is a few meters less than fifty miles long, running from Panama Bay northwest to Christobal Colon, or Aspinwall. The work done by the former expeditions had been confined largely to the highlands, connect ing the mountain ranges of the two con- tinents, in the center of the isthmus, and here the fatal story of the enterprise was written in eloquent and discouraging lines on the hillsides and in the valleys.
 The exact length of the canal as now laid out is 499 miles, of which r on the Atlantic side and S1a on the Pacific side are through low, marshy ground. The remainder is more or less elevated. The French companies excavated about S0,OO0
 GOO cubic yards of earth, or double the quantity removed for the Chicago drain age canal and four-fifths of the total dug at Suez. Extensive as this cutting and digging has been, about half being avail able for the present enterprise, yet it seems like few spadefuls in proportion to the work lying before the commission. The excavation made extends nearly the entire length of the route. but the main effort was made on the first twelve miles on the Atlantic side, adjoining Colon
 At every point the extravaganza of the officials in charge of former efforts is apparent Lack of system, unbusnesslike methods unfavorable conditions, insuffi- cient preparation, and downright hard
 luck" crop out on every hand. The graves of 7500O workmen, negroes, Americans, Frenchmen and Germans, men engaged in all classes of the work, line the hillsides and fill the valleys as a mute testimonial of the conditions under which the work was first undertaken, and which will have to be overcome before It's successful com pleton is in sight.

stupendous, because of the magnitude of the work and the conditions. yet with time, money, energy and the undoubted ability now engaged, these can be over come. The moral difficulty of inducing engineers to remain and work in such a God-forsaken country. where one is roast ed by day and chilled by night, as we'll as deprived of civilized society and means of recreation to say nothing of the dangers of yellow fever which no known means can suppress when the swamps are laid open is much more serious, and would seem to deserve more attention than 1t has yet received. Perhaps unintellgent laborers can be induced to come In from the nearby tropical states, by the offer of good wages, even though half of them rest under the soil before the canal is opened, but the men of brains needed to direct the work aren ot so reckless of their lives and happiness, and wholesale resignations of these would seriously inn pede the undertaking.
 However American engineers and con tractors have pride in accomplishing what they set out to do and in succeeding where others have failed The sort of men who found the Chicago drainage canal and New York subway easy problems. will not hesitate at the job of severins two continents, no matter what the diffi- culties, and feelings of national and pro- fessional pride may keep the heads of de- partments at work where money consld- erations would fail
