state of dilapidation A party of five Jamaicans
worked three days upon one of them with rather
Indifferent results when the got impatient and
with friend got permission to go at the other him
self. They two, in day and half did fully as
much as the five Jamaicans had in three days.
The reader may brush up his arithmetic and figure
out for himself the ratio of efficiency. These ia
maicans certainly present a striking contrast to
the negroes from the Southern States, and few of
these latter who were working with gang of ia
maicans two three years ago. were held in
good deal of contempt by the Jamacans because
they showed their bosses some respect and when
told to do a certain thing and "get move" did so
instead of standing their dignity and going
slower rather than faster. The Jamaicans decided
that the Alabamans were easy and proceeded to
act on that idea out of labor hours with the result
that big ALBANIAN proceeded to show them the
difference between his attitude toward them and
his boss. Three or four of the Jamaicans
laid up went to the hospital while our friend
from Alabama went back to work usual the
next day.
The handling of one of the gangs of Jamaican la
borers and getting them to do anything like fair
days work requires the most monumental patience
and tact of any task that know Of and these vir-
tues are certainly not possessed by many of the
foremen on the Isthmus I remember seeing big
Irish foreman who was trying to make such gang
work. He had successfully handled gangs of Ital-
ians and various other imported foreign laborers
but these were too much for him; he had sat him
self down on pile of ties with ludicrously re-
signed expression, remarking that it use
wasting any energy cussng them trying to make
them accelerate their motions a whit There were
seven in the gang and they were carrying ties for
some track construction. The number unfor-
tunate for they having an awful time trying
to decide which division should have three and
which four men.
Two men with a cross stick end in
front and one holding the end of the tie could
easily carry tie, and doing when I
rived upon the scene. The other four had two
cross sticks so there four to tie that
one good man could shoulder and two could easily
carry. The three could not bear the idea that they
were working harder than the four, and the discus
sion was very warm. They all stopped work and
wrangled among themselves while the Irish fore
man sat and looked on with emotions that seemed

If these laborers had the wisdom to take proper
precautions so as not to unnecessarily expose
themselves to discomfort and disease, the labor
problem upon the Isthmus would be much simpli-
fed but as matter of fact they use no more sense
than lot of children, doing the thing that the i'm
pulse of the moment suggests with little or no re-
gard to consequences. AS an actual fact it was
found that they would not when left to themselves
take the trouble to secure sufficient nourishing
food to keep them in good working condition
They would eat little fruit whatever could be
secured the cheapest and prepared with the least
trouble, with the result that their illnourshed
bodies could not properly respond even if the ind
vidual had the mental energy to try
When, however, the Commission began to issue
rations as part pay they did generally find sufi-
cent energy to eat the food rather than to throw it
away, and of course the result was much improved
service.

LITER4RY GAzINE SECTION

One OF the very prevalent maladies has been
pneumonia. laborer would in at night
sweaty and soaked with rain and instead of put
ting on dry clothing he would throw himself down
in the coolest draft he could find and in a few
hours would often be found in high fever.
Among these people well developed case of
pneumonia is a rule, fatal
If case of small pox appears, instead of report
ing it and having it cared for and the exposed
ones vaccinated, it would be concealed; and |
would not dare say how many cases were taken
from one big ramshackle building in Colon during
the epidemic.
OF the present progress of the work I think one
hardly speak too highly. There was a strong
feeling at one time that the only way to push the
work along to let contracts for sections of the
work. and believe this done to some extent
but the contracts proved too high to be considered
After the resignation of two engineers who were
selected from private life and who, doubt, were
either of them quite capable of building the canal
if given the chance they wanted, it became appar-
ent that some one must be chosen and put in
charge of the work who would feel more than a
personal interest and responsibility in the matter
do not care to discuss the work done nor
the motives of either Mr.. Wallace or Mr. Stevens
in resigning. Each did some splendid service and
each had reasons satisfactory to himself and to
many others for resigning. These designations
seemed a misfortune at the time but the develop
ments since seem to show conclusvely that the
work is in the right hands
I remember hearing a good deal of doubt and
criticism expressed when it was first suggested to
place the work in the hands of the army engi
neers. However, when stop to look the
records of country will find that when
West Point man has been placed in charge of any
task, no matter how difficult he has generally
made good.
This case is certainly no exception The gen
eral conditions better than ever before, partly
of course in the natural order of things. lot of
the men who willing to do as little work as
possible and draw much pay have been elimi-
mated.
shall attempt account of the record of any
of the men at the head of affairs now, but suffice
it to say that there are several the job who, if
necessity demanded, could take charge of the work
and make good.

The principal characteristics of the Jamaicans
are their extreme and rather ludicrous dignity and
pride in being British subjects or "Objecs' as they
usually express it, which is, perhaps only equaed
by their laziness. comparison of the rate at
which they work is perhaps furnished by the ex-
perence of a man of my acquaintance who was
interested a year or two ago in the repairing of
two cottages built by the French.

to be amusement and strong desire to go in and
break few heads, or try to. Finally the matter
was settled in a way for time by the negro who
seemed to be the leader going off and sitting down
by himself leaving two divisions of three men each
to proceed with the work. From what can learn
the British consul is of the most overWorked
men down there, for these aborers run to him with
every grievance or fancied grievance and insist

BALTIMORE, April 9.-Two squads

other. led by Captain Eberfeld, from
Richmond, arrived here yesterday in a
rainstorm. Owing to the weather con-
ditions the scheduled game between the

postponed.
Pitchers Orth, Hogg, Glade, Chesbro,
Newton, Doyle and Zeller were sent to
New York this afternoon By Manager
Griffith, Jack Kleinow and Trainer
Mike Martin accompanied them.
Hughes, Neuer and Manning are the
only pitchers now with the team. Those
who went to New York will do light
work at American League Park until
the opening of the season, as Griffith
does not wish them to take any risks
in the games scheduled in the North
before the season opens. After today's
game the Highlanders leave for Prince
ton TO play the Tigers.

Htucker had mid-season curves, speed

no w%alkover, as Pitcher Dugan of the

Three safe drives in the seventh broke
the deadlock and gave the National
League club the one run necessary to
win. Rain caused the game to end in
