Since the inception of the ('anal it has been realized that the deter- minizng time element, in connection with its opening, was the success of the Culebra Gut, but it was never thought that such obstacles as have arisen would make the success of the great undertaking a matter of doubt.

This vir tually means that the crest of Cule bra Heights is actually moving to ward the cut, or canal proper, and NO FORCE ON EARTH CAN STOP IT. Rain Aiding Slide. The seriousness of the present slide is aggravated by the fact that the rainy season is just setting in, and this is not only expected to re tard the work of checking the crack’s advance, hut also of expedit ing its forward movement. At the present time the engineers refuse to attempt any estimate of the rapid ity of the crack’s movement toward tjie canal. It may be days, it may be weeks and it may be months, but they all agree that when It finally arrives Jit the canal proper with its millions of tons of earth it will be the most se rious setback that the American toil ers have yet encountered. There are some, in fact, who do not hesitate to say that it will prove an irrepar able diculty. These slides', which are first no ticeable from a crack in the fissure of the earth’s surface some distance back from the cut proper, are due to the geological formation of the Isth mus'. The material through which the cut passes consists very largely of sedimentary volcanic ashes which through the ages have solidified to varying degrees of hardness. It is rarely ever hard enough to be termed rock, and the great irregularity of the stratification and consistency of the material, particularly where it rests on harder, underlying rock, pre sent conditions which make heavy slides absolutely certain ' Broadly speaking, the moving mass comes down into the cut either by sliding or crushing and continues to move until the natural angle of re pose has* been reached. In many cases, supposedly in the present case, the slide is assisted by surface drain- »ge water which, seeping down. the sliding action and make- preventative measures of almost no avail. Over 100 Slides. Since the construction of the canal started there have been more than 100 slides of varying magnitude and varying damage. In some of these as much as from one to forty-seven areas were effected, earth from that area sliding down into the cut, nulli fying to a large extent the excavat ing work that ha-' been done. All this mass of earth has to be hauled out and in some instances it I means a second digging of the cut into which the earth slips. The engineers, according to the War Department, are doing all in their power to minimize the effects of the slides when it does arrive, but according to all report?* it will prob ably be the worst setback the en- gineers have yet encountered. And it may mean a serious delay in the opening of th«» canal which severs the two continents, and the completion of which will stamp Americans as the greatest enginee In history.

WASHINGTON, May 4.—Discussion of the wool schedule to-day showed the Republicans divided over the question of what sort of a substitute should be offered for the Underwood rates in Schedule K. Standpatters believed the report of the tariff board too indefinite to base an accurate scale of tariff duties upon it, while the progressive faction in sisted that as the Republicans wore declaring for a tariff commission they should accept without equivocation the findings of the Taft tariff board. The Progressives took the stand that the Payne rates on wool were too high and they supported the Dem ocratic rates. Representative Gardner of Massa chusetts, Republican, who has Veen leading the fight for tariff revision based on the findings of the tariff board, declared he believed that the Underwood rates on the better grades of woolen cloth were too low.
