The Expenses on the isthmus.

Gle Sam has entered upon the isthmuS
but he realized that well enough when
he began. 1t is business matter and
in spite of the great outlay involved
will prove one of the best investments
any government ever made. The COM
mission has pretty well exhausted the
first appropriation, and as it does not
propose to violate the law by SPEND
ing money in excess of the appropria-
ton il must not be allowed 10 suspend
the work.
The $4,000, 900 appropriation winch

sion was granted in June. 1902. 1uii
report of expenditures up to June 80
1905 shows that $4OO9.543 had been
Maid out. In the four months since
then. however, about $5.OOO,OO0 has
been expended. The detailed report
elbows that to June 80, last, about $685.
900 had been charged up to the general
EXPENSES" of the commission, the spe-
cial commissioners and the engineer
ing committee Approximately $685.
900 had gone for salaries in the de-
partment of administration, $67 900 in
the department Of government and SAN
itation and 1921 900 in the department
of construction and engineering. In
teresting items of further expendi-
ture were $2OSOOO for sanitation and
s169,0OO for hospitals. incidentally it
may be remarked that the sanitary
work has been so successful that since
Sept. 20 not a single case of yellow
fever has been reported, notWithstand-
ing the fact that $50 in gold is offered
for the first case reported. The
charge to Waterworks. sewers and
roads is $4,000 and to police and
prisons $4,000. Machine-shop ex-
penses, repairs of equipment and con-
struction and repairs of buildings ac-
count for $54S,O0O.
The largest items on the list are
$694,0OO for "canal construction" and
$1,OS7 900 for material and supplies
purchased, but the latter item does
not include a further sum of 100000
spent b. the bureau of supplies on the
isthmus. OF other items the $155,000
paid for Panama railroad stock is the
only one worth mentioning. 1t is evil
dent on inspection that most of the ex-
penditures have been for preparatory
work. AS soon as Congress has final
ly adopted plans, and the preparations
for the real Rigging have been fin
ished, the items of "canal construc-
ton" and material and supplies will
account for the bulk of the expendi-
lures.

Progress Of Reform in Russia.

In spite of the continuation of
riots and mob outbreaks which dye
with blood the streets of Russian cities
and villages, it is not to be denied
that substantial progress toward bet
ter things is being made in the I'M
happy empire of the Car. The rum
blings and eruptions of the revolution
may continue for some time before
tranquility is restored and the day of
fair treatment for the Jews may be
some distance in the future and the
extremists may continue their excuses
for an indefinite period, but there are
definite signs, nevertheless. that Rus
STA is emerging from the darkness of
the Middle Ages. Witte is the man of
the hour and is giving evidence that
he regards the revolution as an ac-
complished fact and that he will sup
