THE PANAMA CANAL
By Frsdric J. Haskin.
K---PAYLNG OFF.

vocated the payment of all hills for iapor and otherwise in American gold and silver. He thinks 1t would he cneaper and more satisfactory, but re- sards the matter as settled in favor of continuance of the present policy.
 Inere Is almost a total absence of paper money on the Isthmus Except TOT the VI and $2 bills paid out to Americans on the pay car in making cnanse, and that brought here by the tourist, one sees but very little paner money. There are two reasons for this. One IS 1t soon gets into bad condf- ton owing to the dampness of the cIi- mate and to the fact that 1t is often carried in q negro's hat crown; and i've form in which a Chinaman. spar- : away.
 When the canal force was first or- ganfzed nearly all of the West Indians s wanted to be paid of in English sov- ereigns- They were rather insistent upon 1t. But when they found that a se gold piece was worth about I4 cents more than an English sovereign, the sovereign was no longer in demand Dfsbursfng Officer Williams has also had a great deal of trouble educating the Jamaicans and the Barbadians up to the point of buying money orders when they send their money home. They are a suspicious race and think signing an application for a money or der might be signing away a birth right. So they send the bulk of their money home in American paper, when they can get it, in the open mails. The security of the malls in the West In- dies fs not to be compared with that of our own postal service, and the re- suit Is that a large percentage of the letters are mysteriously relieved of their money before they reach their ownersl
 For q long time Disbursing onicer Williams he'd great difficulty in keep ing gold enough on the Isthmus to meet his monthly bils. The Panamanian bankers would charge him all sorts of percentages for 1t, but he finally out generated them, and now has the sup ply of gold under his own control, thus saving thousands of dollars every year. Mir. Williams has one of the best wheels within the big wheel on the Tsthmus. The pay ssytam he has inaugurated is conceded to be ten years ahead of anything in the United States. He was brought from the Chicago and North western, where he disbursed s36. 900, 900 a year, to his present position, where he disburses $27.000. GOO.
