CANAL BUSINESS GROWS.
Traffic Thru Waterway Assuming
Enormous Proportions.
(Special Correspondence,


Washington, May 10-Government Of
icials who are concerned with the OPP
GRAFTON of the Panama canal are en-
couraged over the reports from canal
traffic in March. Complete figures on
the March business are available and
they show that it was the greatest for
any month since the canal was opened
A total of 1876 vessels passed thru
the canal. carrying 635, 05T tons of car
CO. This is between one-third and two
ffthS more vessels than had used the
canal in any preceding month and 1885,
100 more tons of cargo than had
passed thru in any previous month. In
fact, 1t exceeded previous records by
40 per cent.
s6o6.316.56. bringing the total amount
Of tolls levied on barges and vessels
passing thru the canal TO s2,S11 .675.29.
This growth Of canal business still
leaves much to be desired But when it
is remembered that much Of the worlds
commerce is interferred with by war,
1t Is apparent that the growth tends to
presage a big canal business when
times become normal
The eastbound traffic or that from
Pacific to Atlantic, much exceeds the
westbound.
From Aug. IL, 1914, the cargo carried
eastbound amounted to 1,933,321 tons
and that carried westbound amounted
to 1,31269S tons. OF the eighty east
bound vessels in March, four passed
thru in ballast and Of the f1fty-six
westbound vessels. six were in ballast.
Principal commodities in the car
goes carried thru the canal include
barley, coal, copper. general goods.
Humber. iron and steel manufactured
goods, railroad material. nitrates. oats,
crude oil. refined petroleum, sugar and
tin. A large share of the business is
between the Atlantic and Pacific coast
ports Of the United States,

"A number Of US were going over on

lingering in the dining saloon. chatting
with my friends, when the first explos-

had happened. Shortly the ship listed
perceptibly. I shouted to the others to
close the ports. Some OF US went to
our berths and put on life belts.
"On making our way to the deck We
were informed that there was no dan
ger and we need not be alarmed, but
the ship was gradually sinking deeper
into the water and efforts were made
to launch the boats.
Fifty or more persons entered the
first boat and as It swung from the
davits 1t fell suddenly. l think most
OF the occupants persisted. Other boats

Mr. Gauntlet said that he heard only

was over in twenty minutes.
