piftin Facts and Lieut.
Charles C. HHHj
From the New YaSUHKtBt
One- of the most re
ports hitherto made on fMJHkna canal
will shortly be placed iaHMHMk; of the
\ary Department by aMßftWlarles C.
Rogers, intelligence oftia|ffl|Kfcai-d the
United States steamer CaknnT
tVhile the Galena lay at. anchor off Colon
,’ ;.„rles ( "f the
of the enterprise. Amoiig others of
theiK'irty were M. Henri Cottu, administra
te] of the canal; M. Jacquier, director gen
eral of the works on the Isthmus; M. Hutin,
from the head office in Paris, and M. Ro
cnii-e, secretary to M. de Lesseps.
The trip commenced on March 10 and
lasted seventeen days. During that time
Lieut. Rogers saw every foot of the canal,
tailed with the contractors on the works,
with the laborers, and both with those peo
ple who were enthusiasts on the canal’s
prospects and with those who were opposed
to it and little sanguine of its ultimate
success. In cases where lie doubted the in
formation given him he went practically to
work on his own account to verify the fig
ures and estimates stated.
The report will cover the work on the
canal from the close of 1885 and
thehe year of 1888, and a full and
detailed account of the present organization,
administration, financial condition and
many other interesting pouffe* connected
with the enterprise.
A reporter found Lieut. Rogers on board
the Galena, moored in the North river. The
Lieutenant was naturally unwilling that his
report should see the light of publicity until
it reached the Navy Department, but he
courteously gave what information he con
sidered of public interest without reference
to his official manuscript.
‘•Can you give any exact figures as to the
amount of work completed and that re
maining to be done*’” was the first question
put to him.
“Estimates of the total excavations neces
sarv to complete the canal is now placed at
105,090,000 cubic metres. Out of this up to
date the amount completed is 31,920,000
cubic metres, leaving 73,170,000 cubic me
tres to be excavated. Up to the end of 1885
18.417,318 cubic metres had been excavated.
During 1888 11,727,000 cubic metres were
added.”
THE QUESTION OP TIME.
“And the question of time of the comple
tion of the canal?”
“I put it down at seven years. That is,
without there being any hitches and every
thing working in perfect order. M. Ferdi
nand de Lesseps has quoted the most san
guine figures as to the possible output in the
coming two years. To my mind there will
be no increase on the present output. In
the first place it is easy to see that the deeper
the works get the more difficult becomes the
task of removing the rock and soil. The
difficulty of the Culebra Mountain has not
vet been solved. During my stay on the
Isthmus I tried to get M. Charles de Les
seps to give me some idea of the time it
would take to complete the canal. He was
rather guarded in his reply, saying; ‘ln two
years the canal will be completed from
fcolon to Kilometre Forty-four, and from
La Boca to Paraiso. As to the Culebra, I
leave you to form your own conclusions. It
is a great and difficult work.’
“The serious question in the Culebra is
bow to avoid the accumulation of sediment
and the vast land slides which it is subject
to. Last year 78,000 cubic metres of earth
were washed away or fell into the bed of
the canal, and, according to the rate of ex
traction of 1886, it must have taken the
work of six weeks to make good the dam
age. The hillside on the left is a mixture
of sand alluvium and conglomerate. During
the rainy season the surface deposit be
comes saturated with water, and the in
creased weight, coupled with' the incline,
causes the deposit to slide over the smooth
surface of the clay the into canal excava
tion works. The clay in turn contracts
during the dry season. Largo fissures re
sult, and hence"another source of landslides.
The natural wash of the sides by’ the heavy
rains, torrential in character, is another
cause of deposit. Worse than all this is the
fact that up to the prasent time the moun
tain on the left side of the cut is found to be
moving bodily toward the axis of the canal
at an annual rate of from twelve to
eighteen inches, owing to the cutting away
of its lower support.
NO CERTAINTY.
“In such an uncertain climate and such a
soil as that of the Isthmus there can be no
certainty as to any estimated work being
accomplished in any given time. The geo
logical surveys are incomplete, and there
fore they work more or less in the dark.
Over and above this the realization of any
predicted rate becomes more impracticable
when the company’s 1,000 francs —bonds
have n market value of only 450 francs.
Granting that the lower portions of the
canal arc easy of excavation, the sections of
Obispo, Emperado and Culebra. pi-esent
many obstacles besides rocks. Were all
the money necessary for the completion of
the canal subscribed to-dav, and were both
men and machines worked to their utmost,
it would require seven years to finish the
work. The contractors have all engaged to
complete their work in 1889, but there is no
penalty attached to their failure so to do.”
LABOR TROUBLER.
“Is not the labor question liable to trouble
, the canal company ?”
“Yes, I should say so—certainly. The
pav of the laborer on "the canal is one and a
naif Mexican dollars a day, or 9 bout 90c. of
our own money. There are r.ow 10,840 men
engaged on the work and 926 officials. The
laborers have been principally drawn from
Jamaica, but the British government have
ot late been discouraging the natives from
going to the Isthmus, largely on account of
t.ie very large number who return homesick
and without having saved any money.
* here are about, 500 New Orleans colored
men ()n the works, most of whom have come
i on the coasting trade schooners. The canal
1 company have now been compelled to im
port Kroomen from the West coast of
Africa, and 300 of these are now on trial.
A number of Southern Chinamen have also
lately arrived. The men work in the dry
weather from twenty to twenty-two days
out of the month. They quit work on Satur
and for the most part do not come buck
tnl Monday or Tuesday. During these holi
oav.s they drink bad liquor and gamble.
Ims gambling takes most of their money,
cut it cannot be suppressed, as the govern
ment derives a revenue from it. The direc
tor general said that the company could
tm>iiy do with another 10,000 workmen.

-.-Os (~ the that this
money was due, but my authority was a
most trustworthy person.
“On one occasion I asked Mr. Jacquier
wbat money was at the back of the $45,000,-
000. He evaded the question by saying that
he was not the financial manager, but only
the director general of the works. Howev
®j", 7 6 S ross expenses of the canal are about
80,000,000 per month, and therefore the
sum they now have, even without the mort
gage payment, would not last much longer
than fifteen months.
1 ‘Admitting the canal completed, how do
you look upon it as a speculation for the
shareholders?”
“On the most sanguine figures of the
canal company itself lean show that they
cannot possibly pay any kind of return on
their capital. In 1870 the traffic of the Suez
canal was represented by 486 ships, amount
ing to 435 911 tons and yielding a revenue of
5,159,237 francs. In 1885 it had increased
to 3,624 vessels of 8,985.411 tons and paying
the company 62,207,439 francs. The canal
company and their subscribers base their
hopes of success on these estimates. M. La
vasseur, a member of the Institute of
Fi ance, baa estimated that on the Panama
canal opening in 1889 the total tonnage pass
ing through it in a year would be 7,250,000 f
M. Amedee Warteau, chief editor of the
Journal dullarrr, places the figure at 7,536,
982. This estimate is, of course, ex
travagantly high. However, in order to
prove a failure on the figures of the com
pany itself Jet us take as a basis 7,500,000
tons passing through the canal in a year,
and presuming that the tariff is 15f; per
ton, as I understand it will be, the annual
receipts would be 112,500,000f. Deducting
the probable expenses of administration
and repairs this revenue would not remuner
ate a capital exceeding 1,200,000,000f., or
$240,000,000. For this sum it is not possible
to construct the canal.
“Considering the 73,000,000 cubic metres
yet to be excavated, and that the 30,000,000
of cubic metres, plus the installation, have
already cost $134,000,000, and remembering
that the excavation alone is not the only
source of great expense, it is not unreason
able to assert that the final cost of the canal
will not be less than 2,000,000,000f., or
$375,000,000.
LAND GRABBING.
“How much land have the French
acquired on the-isthmus?”
“In the original act of concession by the
Colombian government to the Interoceanic
Canal Company it was agreed that the com
pany should have the right to a border of
•200 metres of land on each side of the oanal
and to 500,000 hectares (1,235,571 acres) of
public lands in such parts of Colombia as
the company should choose, the title to such
lands to be surrendered to the company as
the canal progressed. The first surrender
was of 150,000 hectares of land at a time
when the Colombian government conceded
that one-third of the total work was com
pleted. Besides this the company has
acquired other lands as follows: At Colon,
27 hectares; at Panama, 226 hectares; at
Taboga, 2 hectares; from the Panama rail
road, 707 hectares, and in land bought
alongside the canal 1(5,061 hectares, amount
mg in all to 14,023 hectares, or 34,652 acres.
On Oct. 9, the Colombian government in
creased the grant from 150,000 to 2.50,000
hectares, conceding that one-half of the
work necessary for the construction of the
canal had been finished. It was a diplo
matic move on the part of the canal com
pany to lead the government to such a con
clusion. The formal signatures to this title
were made on Dec. 30 last, so that the com
pany now owns 250,000 hectares (617,785
acres) of public lands, with the mines that
may be found therein, and in places already
indicated as the company shall select. This,
with the other lands acquired, represents a
total ownership to-day of 264,023 hectares
(052,438 acres) of land, besides the border of
200 metres on each side of the canal itself.”
A Queer French Story.
From the New York Star.
A queer story is published in which the
former queen of the opera bouffe stage,
Hortense Schneider, figures.
It appears that in a small town not far
from Bordeaux, a “scratch’’ company some
thirty years ago gave the ever popular
“Tour de Nesle. The receipts surpassed
the manager's wildest dreams, and the mem
bers of the company were so elated that
they began “gagging” in the most unblush
ing manner; but the audience accepted
every interpolation in the best of faith.
Finally, the Schneider herself, who was
playing the part of a page, found in the
property room a pair of immense rustic
boots. She made the next entrance with the
boots —not on her feet, but in her hands.
She gave them to Buridan, who placed them
on the table; then Philippe d’Aulnay took
them and made his exit, with one boot un
der each arm.
In the next act “Marguerite of Burgundy”
entered holding the boots in her hands, and
passed them over to “Gaultier d’Aulnay.”
All the characters took them in turn—“Or
sini,” “Landry,” and even the “King of
France” made his entry on horseback, hold
ing the boots by the straps.
The audience was taken by storm, and
could not sufficiently expi ess its delight at
such rare and refined humor. At the fall
of the curtain the entire troupe was called
outs, even including the supers.
The next year another company visited
the same town, and again the “Tour de
Nesle” was placed on the bills. The house
was crowded, and the actors did their best,
but in vain. Before the end of the first act
murmurs of discontent were heard, then a
hiss, and finally such au infernal rumpus
was raised that the stage manager was
compelled to whistle down the curtain be
fore the piece was half over. Then the
lights were blown out, the seats broken,
arid the mayor had to send*a force of gen
darmes to the scene of action to restore
order.
The unfortunate manager was complain
ing to the owner of the theatre when the
Mayor, who was present, charged him in
strong terms with being the sole cause of
the disturbances. The astonished impresxario
replied that he was ignorant of having given
the public the slightest cause of off ease.
“It’s useless to prevaricate,” replied the
official in a rage; “your conduct i shame
ful, it’s shabby in the extreme. You have
not only deceived the spectators who paid
for their seats, but you have mutilated one
of the chef d’oeuvres of the French stage.”
“How so?”
“How so? Why, you’ve cut out the
boots.”
