' Collapse Of A Ureat Canal. .
United States Consul Virquair, station
ed at Aspinwall, in his last official report
to the State Department, gives a striking
picture of the present condition of affairs
along tho line ot the Panama Canal. The
decadence of Colon (Aspinwall) and the
almost entire prostration of all business
at that place aiuce the. collapse of tec
canal becomes more and more apparent."
It very often happens t'la't not a solitary
vessel ia to bfouod ia the harbor, a
thiiiSt-thaTwas never known there, even
orevious to 1880 and after 1800: and yet
it is but abort wbi'e ago since vessels
- were obliged to be anchored out for dayg
"in waiiing for dock room at which to
unload their respective cargoes.
The local traffic of the isthmns during
the timeHbat work vras being pushed on
the canal had reached vast proportions.
, The line of the canal, between Colon and
-Panama, about fitty miles, was a vast
bivouac, where the most energetic of all
nationalities and races had congregated
to amass wealth, and many have done so,
especially among the Chinese portion ot
it. Wagts were high, princely salaries
were'paid, money was made easy and ex
pended most freely. - Day- time was not
... enough ; the nights themsel vr s were turn
- cd into day, and, literally speaking, the
twenty-lour hours of -the day were a
constant drift on various industries. The
expression the most fitting 13, -"it was
Usdtaoi let loose," and ibe people can not
Lave any idea of what 1 be isthmus was
in 1885. 1880, 1887 and part of 1883, un
less they have seen it.
Forty towos have sprung np on the
line in almost as many miles, every one
f them thriving, a real bee bive of peo-
pie; in fact, all of them bent, col. only at
changing the physical aspect of land, but
in turning a tropioal jucgle of heretofore
" a death dealing clime into a new Babylon,
for never was there ouch a confusion of
tongues and a conglomeration of races
from all over the world. These people
' fighting back the diseases manfully, dying
at once wi'hont a murmur, or living in
ppite of clime, lives of the most reckless
Dissipation when at leisure. It is not a
wonder that so many died ; it is a wonder
that so maay have lived. Indeed, it can
be truthfullv taid, that "grim death
got exhausted at the task" and retreated
- to his lair. The isthmus bad become
' habitable ; before the advent of this reck-
: less throng it was not. "And what has
become of it ail? Vanished, Hie peo
ple have all gone, business is dead on the
line, the local traffic is dead, the line of
the canal, once only a short while ago
the livoliest place on the globe, is aeaa
:. the rank upgetauon of the. tropics
" rrowin? denser, it seems, for the rest it
baa had, bidding from view railroad
-trains, dredges, and all the paraphernalia
of the canal contractors, who left their
imnlements of all sorts as if work were
to have bten resumed in the morning.
Colon and Panama still live, but that
is all. mere! v bv-wav stations for the
traffic, across the isthmns eastward and
westward between two hemispheres.' In
Colon rents have fallen ott 500 per cent
in three months, and are still on the tie
ciine. The Panama Railroad, which in
1888 paid 23.50 percent of dividends,
- will in 18S9 av onlv 0 per cent. This
line in 1888 carried 1,800,000 passenger
(4,000 every day) ; this year it may cairy
probably 500,000, it so many.
But the transit traffic has not suflered
on the contrary, it is the only local traffic
which 10 a short six months bas 80flrecl
loss ot nearly 110,000 tons of imports-
' that is to say. this mucb has been lost to
- the local lrado. As a result nearlv two
tl'irn of the business bouses in Colon are
: closed up and bankrupt sales are a daily
occurrence.
Europe Uniting to Suppress the Slave
. .. Trade. - "
It most alwavs be" remembered that
. some of the wont evils of slavery are
connected with the domestic life of the
Turks. The mutilation of children for
' the purpose ot supplying negro eunuchs
for the haiemspf what may be called the
. : upper elates tbrongbout Turkey, Persia
and Central Asia bas been again and
; . again condemned in words, but is still
curried on with the tacit assent and
practical co operation of Ottoman officials.
. This monstrous inquity is not a necessary
lnninnt rf f siaan Itnnn lift. Trt TnHin
' where Mahommedanism exists in its
strictest form, the practice is almost un-
known under English rule. Ifthesulttn
and his ministers really mean what tbey
fay in the law now published, they ought
to begin the work or reform in their own
. : households. ' Meanwhile fashion keeps
up the trade In this particular braich and
offers a high premium to the enormities
of the slave-dealers. The law now pro
mulgatcd by the fi no is nioiuly va;u
able not so much because it promises any
. effective action on the part of the Turks
. - for the suppression of the slave trrti as
because it strengthens the bands or the
European powers in taking further meas
- v res to put down what is now formally
. declared by the sultan himself to be, root
and branch, an illegal ana immoral traf
fjc. The recommendations of the Brus
sels conference, which has snsnendpd its
labors during the Christmas holidays, are
-looked for with much interest. .Public
opinion bus rapidly advanced upon the
question 01 the slave trade, and even the
most reluctant of the powers can hardly
. refuse to consent to an effective right of
search in the iiast Atncan seas,where the
J.'orte has agreed 10 principle to the pro-
mbition ot toe traffic in ''black ivory.1
It is interesting to note that the French
..are not behini hand in suggestions for
:. putting dowa' the-s!uvo trade by sea.
- If. de Lavcleye pointed out the other day
. mat France bad admitted the principle
of the right of starch by the treaty with
England 10 November, 1831. But he
forgot, apparently, to mention that, when
, the question of carrying oat that pnnci
pie arose afvw years later, M. Guizot
was at raid to press it upon tie French
L-hemberc, and induced Sir Robert Peel
and Lord Aberdeen to waive, the strict
' performance of the treaty obligations.
. France, however, like all the rest of the
duii'j, nus muveu uunog me past uny
years, and is "hound in honor now to do

The worst case of inhumanity that ever
occurred in Lane county is reported from
tear Cottage Grove. Friday eveninsr,
Februarv 14th. Mrs Millie Waud, wife
of Kd. Waud, aiud at her home about two
mil:s fiom Cottage Grove, from neglect
tud staivation. About three weeks ago
she gave birth to a child. When the
cl ild was bnt Tour days old, her husband
Itft her and wcDt to his father's house,
uhioh was but a few rods distant, leaving
her in the house with her three children,
tl oldest a bov of about four years. It
i said that Waud's father, two brothers
and a sister were in the bouse near by,
I, ut none of them went to see her. and for
tix days she had no one but those little
i !.il.lreu to wait unon lier. Several times
duriuz the first three days she got out of
Ivrl and eraw.ed on her bauds and Knees
to the stove to build files but after that
she was scarcely able to move, and after
livin? that wav" u davs she was fonud
by fie neighbors in a dying condition.
A" physician was called, but it was too
1 tte to do her anv eood. The neighbors
slate that Waud refused to give his wife
tho medicine kit for her bv the physician,
but threw it away and injected morphine
in ber arm. Oace, when some wuiky
had been lett for her. he drank it him
se;f. It was not until tho phyieia
threatened to Drosecute hlra :f he gaye
hur any more morphine, that he let her
alone. There was some talk of lynching
wbei t e facts were learned, but the
threats were not earned into effect. No
punishment can be too severe for xnch a
mn Mrs. Waud's maiden name was
Milhe Branstetter, and wjien'sbe lived in

She was married to Waud here several
years go. lie has been a victim of the
morpbins l.abit for a long time, and after
their mairias:e it is slid he soon made her
a victim, and before her dath she nad
