So many semi-barbarous onslaughts, from high and low quarters, in every shape and style, have been and con tinue to be made on the Panama Ca naPprojeet, that the formidable indi vidual and national opposition, which Count de Lesseps encountered in the old world, has been, and is being re peated in the new. But the great en gineer came out victorious in 1869, and in 1889 the same laurels of tri umph will crown his venerable head, whitened with the snow of many win ters. In 1869, he broke open the sixty-one mile wide barrier which na ture had placed between the wate'rs of the Mediterranean and Red seas; in 1889, the forty-six mile wide American isthmus will submit, and allow the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to meet, kiss, and freely min gle to and fro. The Engineering News and American Contract Journal of New York, of Au gust 28th, which I have here before me, contains an article on the Panama Canal which deserves consideration, and calls for some remarks. The au thor shows impartial judgment, and a sense of fair play, far superior to that which the criticisms of our American editors and contributors are wont to display. But the best man should win, and I, for one, am determined that De Lesseps and his canal shall 1 have fair play, and I trust that there j are many persons- animated by the ! same spirit. As I happen to have in I my office the official statistics of the work, you will kindly excuse me for j correcting a few errors. Your readers will undoubtedly be glad to hear the ! truth about this vast enterprise. I The latest extravagant production 1 in the shape of criticism is from the ! pen, (or head) of a Mr. E. E. Olcott, ' M. E., which, I presume, means 'Me- ' chanical Engineer." He may be a ' great man, in his own limited sphere, 1 for aught I know; but if his new achievments are to be no better than the one to which I allude, I am afraid he will never get out of the httlewell he bored, and then had the misfor tune to fall into. But maybe, bis con tribution to the Engineering and Min ing Journal, of New York, was aiming at something he is anxious to reach at any cost; he mentions money so often that he must be fond of it. However that may be, I have deemed it right to answer him, not with the intention of helping M. de Lesseps; he needs no help, in the engineering line, at least. But my purpose was, in the first place, to show the numerous blunders he has made willingly or unwillingly, and to point out to him, that modesty, which is so prominent a characteristic of the great engineer, does not seem to be one of Mr. Olcott's virtues. In the second place, I had to satisfy my feel ings of honor and truth; it is the duty of an independent journalist to rectify errors, no matter where he may meet them. I take this opportunity to ask you to publish a denial of the latest rumor, to the effect that the actual amount of subscription to the Panama bondsfalls short, by $42,000, of the $300,000 offered. I can vouch for the untruth of this report. There will be at work on the Canal, five boring machines, with a monthly capacity of between 2,500,000 and 3.000,000 cubic metres. From 1884 until now, the average cube extracted per month has been 1,500,- 000 cubic metres. Another error into which American editors have fallen either purposely, or unknwingly, is in the estimate of the amount of money expended. The Engineering Neus and American Contract Journal is right; $100,000,000 is pledged; in other words, counting the supplies, and the plant to be delivered, $120, 000,000 will be paid, by the end of this year. But we do not usually eat the chicken before it is hatched. Capital ists, economists and shareholders, know what, six months of a years' credit means, when it is a question of millions. The monev actually paid at this time is only $60,000,000; $120, 000,000 was the amount of the first issue, with the clear understanding that the shareholders should be pre pared to double it, if necessary, in order to hasten and finish the work at the appointed time, July 18S9. The same thing occurred in Egypt. During the last two years of the construction of the Suez canal. 55,000,000 cubic metres were extracted each year. The great engineer came up to time and astonished the most sanguine share holders. Now that his creditors have renewed their confidence in him and his work, the American Isthmus will have to obey, and in 18S9, or even in 1888, let the tides of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans swell to and fro. As for our own incompetent critics, he has neither the wish nor the time to notice them at all. The reply to the call for the other $120,000,000, making $240,000,000 in all. was so spontaneous and prompt that it ex ceeded all expectations. Truly, the great captain is well backed by an army of French shareholders, and this is the best answerthat our newspapers, editors and contributors, can get, in order to be reassured, silenced, or just. "The total number of subscribers." says the Engineering News, "was over 100,000." I only quote the figures as 1 find them, for they are not in iny statistics. Anyhow, when the call for the new loan was made, De Lesseps got it readily the greatest engineer that the world ever saw, got what he wanted, pluss cheers upon cheers, for himself and his colossal enterprise. "My love, what magic spell is thrown Upon your face? Its charm I own. Whence came thy pure and pearly teeth? Thy rosy lips? Thy perfumed breath?" She said, in accents sweet and clear, " "Tis only SOZODONT, my dear." THE EXPRESS ROBBERY. The Amount Found to Far Ex ceed First Etimatcs. St. Louis, Oct. 29. D. S. Fother ingham, the Adams express messenger whose car was robbed last Monday night, is still in the citv, and has not yet been arrested, although he is accompanied wherever he goes, by a detective. He was in close communi cation with the officers of the com pany this morning, and it was giyen out that he was assisting them in ob taining a clew to the identity of the robber. It is believed, however that he is being carefully examined by the detectives, and the stories told by him at different times compared with a view to finding inconsistencies and obtaining evidence that he was an accessory to the robbery. The sus picion is expressed that several em ployes of the express and of the rail road companies carefully planned the robbery, with the knowledge of Fothenngham, and divided the nioufy between them. It was stated at first that the amount stolen was slightly in excess of $50,000, but claims have already been presented to the com pany which swell the amount to $S1, 000. A majority of these claims have been settled, and as the others are proved will be paid. Miscellaneous. CT-OAPITAL PRIZE, 75 OOP zrf Tickets only 98.
