T b e thought o f com- muuicutlou betweeu the oceans being iu European bauds was distasteful to our statesmen. Iu 1852. when the Panama railroad was being built, a captain o f a com pany In the Fourth regiment o f ln- fnntry. Ulysses S. Grant, crossed the isthmus at Panama on his way to th i new Callforuia post. A n epidemic of choleru broke out. costing the lives of eighty men. and the general hard ships o f the transit deeply impressed Captain Grant with the ueed o f a L»ct ter passage. Several Am erican exploring parties had been on the Isthmus, and in 1854 Lieutenant Arthur Strain, with tw e n ty-seven companions, attempted to penetrate the Jungle.
