President Jackson to visit the 18TH
mus and report on the various canal
routes proposed.
First report to the United States
government: BY Biddle in 1886, fav-
oring the Panama; route. He had
been 80 struck with it that he re.
turned to the United States without
examining the Nicaraguan, Darien or
Tehuantepec routes. No action fol-
lowed.
First railroad built, from 1849 to
1855, more than half as long a time
as has been taken to build the pres.

thousands that it al said q laborer
was buried under every sleeper on
the Panama road.
First actual canal building begun:
In 1878 the Universal Inter-oceanic
Canal Company incorporated in Paris
by Ferdinand de Lesseps, who had
built the Suez canal.

First regular traffic across isthmus:
The spells Of conquest sent back to

to Savadera, a Spanish engineer, one
of Balboa's followers, who was about
to forward his plans to King Charles
