' 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. .

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 thw cltv was a larce. healthy young lady 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 cl.aaatd so that bpr fii.nds would scarce ly recogulza her.
