Sllipload of Dynamite.

When the steamer Phyllis recent
ly arrived at the Panama canal zone.
her cargo is said to have received
even more respectful attention than
that of the steamer that shortly be-
fore arrived in Colon loaded to the
rail with American congressman. The
Phyllis had aboard 100000 pounds
of dynamite. Each of the 20,640
cases of fifty pounds each was picked
up from the hold by a man who pass
ed it UP on deck to another man, who.,
in turn, passed it up to third BY
whom it was sent on long skid and
allowed to slide towards the dock. No
attempt was made at pitching the
cases from one man to the other.
Every wide-awake man was stationed
at the end of the slide to prevent any
case coming his way from rendering
him and the water front unrecog-
nizable as a result Of hard bump
against the dock. A portion was
placed on lighter for shipment to
Porto Bello. The remainder was load
ed on train of seventeen cars to be
taken to various points along the
line. Unlike the construction trains
that run within sight of one another.
the dynamite train entered no block
on the railway that was not free OF
trains and while it was in a block no
other train could enter. The timer
ary was so planned that the train of
explosives entered the Culebra cut at
noon, when the laborers were at din.

gotiated with the greatest care.
