"While graphing with the
swamp they would have to make
the Culebra Cut through solid
rock many feet deeper than at

feet, or will be at its maximum
point, right down through solid
rock. Under sea level plan the
cut would have to go at least $50
feet. At present the rock is solid

but what might happen If the cut

not undertake to say. They would
rather not run the chance of a
fissure and a slipping of the rock.
And then there is the question
of diversion of the rivers. Already
it has been necessary to take one

of a hill while formerly 1t ran
around the other. The cost of this
was about 100000 a mile. In
case we constructed a sea level
canal there would be 81 of these

keep the canal from sitting and
clogging, and the cost of diverting
81 rivers at the rate of 100000

Jailer Turnbull grew uneasy this
morning when he heard the dis

out the corridors of the Jail. Now,
cats are not uncommon at the Jail.
There are between ten and fifty
furry pets meandering about the
gloomy steel cages of the prison
during all hours of the day.
So, when Mr.. Turnbull heard
the shrieks, he merely settled
down in his chair the deeper, and
tried to continue his interrupted

in short time the sounds issuing
from behind the blue bars were
worse than ANY caliope that ever

An important matter connected
with canal administration is soon
to be presented to congress for it's
consideration. This concerns the
commissary, which is maintained
on the isthmus. The minister
from Panama has presented to our
government the complaints of the
native merchants at Colon and
Panama. The latter claim that
there has been a violation of
treaty obligations in the establish
ment of the commissaries. Some
section of the treaty is inter
preted by the Panama minister as
a promise to the Panamanian mer-
chant that he should have the
right to exploit the negro labor

The complaint against the COM
missary is merely the complaint
that 1T takes the profits from the
Panama merchants. The United
States authorities run these COM
missaries at cost They furnish to
the canal employees, white and
black, wholesome food at very rea-
sonable prices. In fact, 1t is re-
ported by Representative Stevens
that the Panama housewife can
buy in better market than the
housewife to the butler of the
butler of the millionaire living in
Washington, d. G.
That the white employees of the
canal should not be exploited is
regarded by the Panama mer-
chants as bad enough, but that

and native negroes should not be
