the r ~' 7 '*TiWnip|T 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. THE FINANCIAL PUZZLE, ci t ' Je caila * company stand flnan "l“ Aspect to financial matters I found it *7 difficult to obtain ill fori nation. As far 1 could ascertain the amount available “r expenditure hereafter on the canal, on - lin e) 1 1 of this year, amounted to 238,020,- tr 01 ®4 , ’>JW6,461. The total exi>endituro that date amounted to $134.084.729.

The -.-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.” “medical. ~~ 'DARBYS Pmplflariic Flnii. For Bums, Scalds, Cuts, HEALING. Wounds, Bruises, etc., it in invaluable and gives in- CLEANSING. Stant and permanent rc lief.
