Canal Digging a9,l Mind

There is much mud in the city Of
Colon, Panama, and all because Of
that blood in the eyes of Editor Bynoe
Of the Colon Independent Mud, mud
everywhere, and every item and article
il the columns of the Independent is
rounded out with a reference to mud.
For instance, this chronicle of a news
event.
Wednesday morning a team suddenly
went into one Of the deep holes in the
street in front Of this office. The driver
fell off his seat into the mud.
Presumably the Colonies ought to be
happy in their mud, for it means that
something IS doing. Every student of
civil war history has read Of the IA
nous "Burnsides mud march along
Stafford hills, in the state of Virginia.
Now Virginia Is not land Of mud.
Burnside happened to be compelled to
march his army and haul his guns and
wagons along a single road, out and
back, after winter rain had soaked
the top soil like a swollen sponge. The
tread of men and horses. and the roll
of wheels soon churned this soluble
red earth into a pulp, through which
soldiers waaed ankle deep. Two days
sun dried UP the mud, and Virginia
never again saw repeated the mud
spectacle of January, 1868.
The editor Of the Colon Independent
should cheer up. He blames the mud
carnival all on the United States gov
ernment, whereas the real villain Is
the soil of Panama, which can't stand
UP under prosperity. This is the In
dependents latest tale of mud and
woe.
In many places deep holes have been
made by the wheels of vehicles, so that
the poor animals that haul them are
often unable to go through, but, are sub
jected to most brutal beatings by cruel
drivers The business of the street is
practically suspended, as approach to the
buildings in which merchandise is kept

risk. All this is bad enough. but there
appears to be no disposition on the part
Of our masters to remedy this great evil
Mr.. Poultney Blgelow ought to come here
now, OF, better still, President Roosevelt
ought himself to date his visit forward
or ought at least to send his ominous and
inevitable Tart with instructions not to
refuse again to see the brilliant results
OF naughty neglect and incompetence.
No doubt the citizens Of Colon and
the whole republic Of Panama would
have Uncle Sam stop canal digging
and enter upon good roads and pave
ment campaign. The truth is that the
little country was not ready for the
greatness thrust upon her by the canal
enterprise. In Colon and other bust
ness centers a hundred wagon wheels
now turn where one turned before.
Everywhere there is mud, but where
mud is there is business also, business
with money in it. That is why Editor
Bynoe should cast his eyes skyward
and resolutely refuse to see mud or let
it be mentioned in his columns.

OF the Calamity at San Fran
cisco Felt in the Vote Upon
the Panama Canal Plans in
the U. s. Senate.
SEA LEVEL PLAN
WOULD BE BETTER
In Case Of Earthquake ON Isthmus-
Lock Towers Would Lean
and Warp.

Associated Pr,sss to The Evening Times.
Washington, May 17.-That the
earthquake which destroyed San
Francisco was an important factor in
determining the vote of the senate
committee on interoceanic canals in
favor o ia sea level canal. This is
apparent from the majority report in
favor of a sea level plan submitted
today by Senator Kittridge.
Upon the subject of the danger from
earthquakes on the isthmus and the
possible effect on the two types of
canal proposed, the report says:
Canal structures that would be
most, exposed to injury by the passing
of an earthquake or violent movement
1.-THE earth's surface, are locks pro-
posed by the minority, whose walls,
many hundrs7s of feet, or even two or
three thousand feet long would, at
least some of them, be more than
seventy-f1ve feet high and entirely
unsupported on one side save for a
part of the height by water.
If these walls should be moved
at all, the natural and probable re-
suit would be in their leaning and SO
prevent the closing of the gates an
injury for which the suggestion of ex-
ira gates on hand would be useless.
for no one could guess the extent of
the movement. But the most likely
eject of such shock would be the
fracture of these locks, in repairing of
which much time, months or years,
might be required. and thus cause the
interruption of traffic or the abandon
ment of the canal.

KING ALFONSO IS

BIRTHDAY
Twenty Years Have Passed
Over Head of spain's
Youthful Ruler.

Madrid. May 17.-Today was the
twentieth birthday of King Alfonso
and the anniversary was celebrated
In the customary manner in Madrid
and throughout the kingdom. A few
weeks hence the youthful monarch is
to wed Princess Ena of Battenberg,
on which occasion the festivities will
be on scale of great magnificence.
In view of the near approach of this
event today's celebration was of
milder character than it otherwise
would have been. At present all
Madrid is busily engaged in preparing
for the popular festivities that will
attend the royal wedding.
Unless some unforeseen event oc-
ours. King Alfonso's wedding day will
go down In history as one of the most
brilliant, gorgeous, splendid and hos
pitable in the annals of pageant-loving
Spain. Already every effort on the
part of those responsible for the cere-
monial management of the court are
hard at work preparing for the great
week. In view of the nations history
during the past decade there is a
special incentive to make the event
as grand and spectacular as possible
in order to show by example that the
ancient splendor of Spain is not yet
to be numbered among the things of
the past ,.zt7
The festivities will be on a grand
scale. There will be receptions and
balls. pageants and bull-fghts, and
Madrid will TEEN with immense
crowds of visitors, not only from all
parts Of the kingdom, but from all
parts of the world as we'll.
The lord chamberlain has issued
his invitations to be present at the
wedding of their sovereign lord"' and
he also has sent out to all the courts
of Europe requests that they may be
represented. These invitations are
.couched In the quaint formula which
still obtains at the ancient royal
courts. After stating that on the 1st
of June, 1906. the city of Madrid will
