the stoppage of Work fourteen years
ago. which forced the liquidation of the
old company, a preceeding which es-
tended over several years, and which
resulted in total inactivity on the isth-
mus. It was the same trouble which
landed Charles de Lesseps, son of the
great engineer, in prison under a crimi-
nal sentence. According to stories cur-
rent here, Charles de Lsseps was, the
premier grafter of the world, for it is
related that he exacted a commission
of 5 per cent upon every ontret made
by the company. All accounts—and there
are men here who were famillar with
the Ine and outs of the affair—agree in
placing the larger share of the blame
upon the shoulders of this man, who
seems to have set the pace for the reck-
less dishonesty which evolved the dis-
aster. Others merely followed where
he led, and the French quickly devel-
oped the trait of appropriating to their
own use 80 cents on every dollar which

This house was erected on Cristobal Colon Point by the French Canal com-

realise the enormity of tt aH.
The world at large little appreciates
what a riot of grief this strip of deso-
late. miasmatic land has witnessed.
Neither letterpress descriptions nor
photographs can impart an accurate
idea of it. Seen with the naked eye, •
gaguged by personal observation, how-
ever. it stands out glaring and inde-
fensible. Upon every hand, from the
moment one enters the mouth of- the
canal at Colon until, after traversins
its route. he emerges at the Pacific
entrance. there obtrudes upon the saze
indisputable evidence of a most Wicked

company. We did nothing toward se-
curing the necessary rights, however,
and in May, 1878. Lieutenant L N. B
Wyse secured from Colombia a formal
canal concession. It is that grant,
with certain modifications and addi-
tions. which is now in existence, and

The trouble with us has been that we
have too strenuously and persistently
pursued the phantom of a canal over
the Nicaragua route, so, in a msasure,
we must share the odium thiwreck

France by our own dilatory prodedure
the opportunity to disgrace herself.
One can not properly apprecit this"
canal enterprise—now headed toward
consummation—without understanding.
In outline, its history. That ground has
often been traversed' I shall no more

find a "western passage" to Asia failed. "
His voyages and his trials served the
one great purpose, however.- of stimu-

which he had dreamed. Vasco de Gama,
who sailed from Lisbon in 1487 and
reached •Calicut,” India. In 1498, having
been the first man to round the Cape

In this De Lesseps, without inerimi-

the undertaking was such a simple
one that everybody might pile up
riches to his heart's content, and still
the canal would be opened within the

If undue optimism was De Lesseps'
original crime, a fatal lack of investi-
gation was his second and greater of-
fense, for he led France into the thing

choate state. The great engineer could
entertain no proposition except that of a
