The const’^Hfcion of the Panama Canal, to fumlalfarwater way for ships between the Atlantic and ParlfloOeeans has been in projtreet for lastly years under French management. Millions of money have been spent—much of it wasted—and thousands of laborers hare fallen efetlms to the wicked cli • mate, yet enly one fifth of the required work has keen completed.
