crept up the watercourse until about
opposite the buffaloes, which were
now lying down. Cunninghame peered
cautiously at them, saw there We're

tours toward them. There were
patches where the grass was short
and other places where Ii was three
feet high, and after good deal OF
cautious crawling we had covered halt
the distance toward them, when one
of them made us out and several rose
from their beds. They were still ar
least 200 yards off--a long range for
heavy rifies-but any closer approach
was impossible, and we fired.
Both the leading bulls were hit,
and at the shots there rose from the
grass not half dozen buffaloes, but 10
or so, and started at a gallop paraIlei

COST OF PANAMA CANAL.

New York Sun.--A revised state.
ment of Panama canal finances shows
the total amount expended on pur.
chase and construction to Oct. 80,
1909, as $1S1,231, 071.s4. This is
practically one-half of the present
authorized bond ISSUE Authority has
been given for bond issues amounting
to 1876, 2O0,0S0. The actual issue to
the first of this month has been
$S4,631 $3.50. From the sale of these
bonds ss7 ,309,594.s3 has been realiz ID.
Deducting the proceeds of tond
sales from the total expenditure, there
remains s93,s21, 477.O1, which has been
paid out of the general fund of the
treasury and is reimbursable from
further bond sales If such a course is
deemed necessary or desirable.
Authority rests gith the treasury to
issue bonds to the amount of $685..
921.477.01 for reimbursement of money
already paid from the general fund,
plus further issues to the amount OF
s196.647,522.99 for the conduct ana
completion Of the work. This makes a
total of $500 569, 900 for bonds author
lied but not yet issued.
Disbursements on constructive ac-
count have been as follows:
During fiscal year 1905. s 3,s1S,s1o.s3
During fiscal year 1906. 19,379,373.7 II
During fiscal year 1907. 27,19S,61S.71
During fiscal year 1s0S.. 3S, 1923. 04
During fiscal year 1909. 31,419,442.41
During first four months of
fiscal year 1910. 11.046, 4O3. IA
The more costly work of construct
ing dams and locks is yet to come.
When that Is under way, the monthly
drafts will probably show consider
able increase. In 1880 ". de Lesseps
estimated the cost of a sea-level ca.
nal at about $685. 100000. with eight
years as the time needed for its com
pletion.
Experience has shown his error, as
