Washington, Dec. 2. The renewed
attention being given to the proposed
iHthmian canal at thi time lend es
pecial interest to a dic.UHioii of the
itreat canal of tlie world, presented by
the department of commerce and labor
through it bureau of statistic.
The Suez canal i URiially considered
tlie most important example of slni
canals, though the numlier of veel
tasing tiirougii it annually doe not
equal that paing through the canal
connecting Ike Superior with the
chain of great lake at tlie south. In
lengt h, however, it exceed any of the
other great hip canal, it total length
lieing 00 mile. The original cost was
95,000,000, and for !the canal in its
present form slightly in excess of 100,-
000,000. Tho revenue of the canal is
apparently large in proportion to it
cost, tlio Statesman's Yearbook for
1001 giving tlie net profit of 1899 at
64.153.CC0 francs, and the total
amount distributed among the share
older 61.538.02K francs, or about 10
per cent of the estimated cost of f 100,
000,000.
The canal connecting the Hay of
Cronstadt with St. Petersburg i des
criWl a a work of great strategic and
commercial importance to Huia.
Tho canal and sailing course in tlie
!av of Constadt are about 16 miles
ng, the canal projier lx:lng about six
miles and tho boy channel about ten
mile, and they together extend from
Cronstadt, on the gulf of Finland, to
St. Petersburg. The canal was opened
In 1800. The total cost is estimated at
about 110,000,000.
Tho next of the great ship canals
connecting bixlies of salt water in the
order of date of construction in the
Corinth canal, which connect the gulf
f Corinth with the gulf of Acgina.
Tho canal reduce the diwtance from
adriatic port about 175 miles and
from Mediterranean ports about. 100
miles. It length is alnnit four miles.
There are no locks, as l also the case
in both the Sue and Cronstadt canal
The work was begun in 1884 and com
pleted in 1803 at a cost of about f 5,-
000,000.
The Manchester ship canal, which
connect Manchester, England, with
the Mersey river, Liverpool, and the
Atlantic ocean wa opened for traffic
January 1,1894. The length of the
canal is 35 miles, tlie total rise from
othe water level to Manchester leing
00 feet, which ia divided between four
seta of locks. The total cost of the
canal is given at 175,000,000. The
revenue in 1001. according to the
Statesman's Yearbook, was (121,128
pounds, and tlie working expenses,
483.2R7 pounds.
Two canal connect the Baltic and
North sea through (Jermanv, the
first, known as the Kaiser Wilhelm
canal, and having been completed in
1895 and constructs! largely for mili
tary and naval purposes, but proving
also of great value to general mercan
tile traffic. Work upon the Kaiser
Wilhelm canal was liegun in 1887, and
completed a above indicated, in 1895
Tho lentgh of the canal is 61 miles, the
terminus in the Haltic sea being at
Kiel. The total excavotion amounted
to about 100,000,000 cubic yards, and
tho cost to about 40,000,000.
The Welland canal connects I-ake
Ontario and Ijtke F'rie on the Canadian
side of tlio river. It was constructed
in 1883 and enlarged in 1871 and again
in 1900. The length of the canal is 27
milt;, tlie numlier of locks 25, the total
rise of bx kage 327 feet, and the total
cost about 125,000,000. The annual
collection of tolls on freight, passen
gers and vessel averages about $225,-
000. ami the canal i open on an aver
age about 240 day in a year.
Tlie canals of Sault Ste.' Mane,
Mich., and Ontario, are located adja
cent to the fall of tho St. Mary's river,
which connect I-ake Superior with
Ike Huron ami lower or raise vassela
from one level to the other, a height of
17 to 20 feet. The canal belonging to
tho I'nited State wa beaun in 1853
by tlie state of Michigan and opened in
1855, tlie length of the canal lK-ing 5,
(174 feet, and provided with two tandem
lockR, the original cost lieing f1,000,-
000. Tho United State government.
by consent of tho state, liegan in 1870
to enlarge the canal, and by 1881 had
Increased its length to 1.6 miles. The
state relinquished all control of the
canal in March, 1882. In 1887 the
jrovernment further enlarged the canal
The Canadian canal, 1 miles long,
was built on tlie north side of the river
during tho years 888 to 181)5.
Wash in ton, Iec. 2. Dr. Ilerran,
tlie Colombi-n minister, has silenced
all the members of the Reyes party
nd the Iiolivar commission. The
Colombians are now holding warm con
ferences, in which they are attempt
ing to find out just what steps should
Ins taken to bring the South American
republic out of the present squabble in
the best form. General Reyes is
known to have undergone a change of
mind a to the best method of looking
after hi country's interest here. War
talk did not make any impression upon
the United States. It is now presumed
that Dr. llerran's advice is to be taken,
and an attempt will now probably be
made to bring Colombia out of the
muddle with all the money p'lssible
The return of Panama to the Colom
bian union, and the retraction of all
the steps taken by the United States
government, are so far out of tlie que'
tion that they will probably not be
suggested.
Reports from the United States min
ister at Bogota and other sources that
war talk in Colombia is becoming more
widespread call attention to the fact
that even if General Reyes mission to
the United States accomplishes no
other puriiose, it will serve time for
the Colombian armies to mobolize and
equip in case a campaign should be
undertaken against the isthmus. It is
now conceeded that the passage of
troop by land from Colombia to the
isthmus is not impossible.

P05TOFHCB FRAUDS.
Figures Telling What the Government
Lost by Corrupt Officials.
Washington, Dec. 2. The amount
of money secured by the corrupt offic
ials and their confederates is email,
as compareil to the total loss to trie
government. To illustrate: There is
no evidence that Louis received any
compensation from Ault & Wiborg,
yet during the first year of his ad
ministration tlie expenditures for can
celing ink increased over $10,000.
Barrett received but $6,000 from
Arnold, yet that company defrauded
the people out of over $3,000,000.
Machen probably did not receive
more than $20,000 from the Groff fas
tener. Yet the government has paid
approximately $130,000 for that de
vice, which represents a net loss, since
the department continued, by the
terms of the contract for letter boxes,
to pay for the original fasteners.
Beavers and his associates received
loss than $20,000 from the automatic
cashier. Yet the department ex
pended $74,275 for this wholly un
necessary machine.
The total amount that the perpetra
tors of these frauds themselves received
cannot be definitely learned, but it
will aeereeate between $30,000 and
$400,000, wbile the loss to the gov
ernment, considering the unnecessary
supplies that have been purchased
and the inferior quality of those fur
nished by fraudulent contractors, can
not be estimated w ith any degree of
accuracy.

VIRTUALLY SHUT OUT POWERS.
Russia and Austria Propose to Have Ac.
tual Control of Macedonia.
London, Dec. 2. The Chronicle
learns of a curious episode. "When the
appointment of European officers to
the Turkish gendarmerie in Macedonia
was proposed, Great Britain asked that
three English otlicers be appointed,
thinking that each of the other powers
would require tbe appointment ol a
similar number. The government of
Austro-Hungary, however, demanded
the appointment of 180 Austrian offi
cers, and uussia asKeu ior an equal
number of Russian officers, the obvious
intention on the part of Austria and
Russia being the exclusion of all other
powers from any real share in the
control of the gendarmerie.
The Chronicle savs the directors of
the Macedonian relief fund have re
ceived advices that pneumonia and
pleurisy are working havoc among the
refugees in the burned villages as the
results of exposure and destitution.
Russia Branching Out.
London, Pec. 2. The Times' Pekin
correspondent says that small bodies
of Russian troops are patrolling the
country around Hsinmintun, the ter
mination of a branch line of the rail
way between the great wall and Niu
Chwang, on the pretext of suppressing
brigands, although the region is per
fectly quiet and peaceful. The Chi
neso are daily expecting to hear that
the Russians have occupied the rail
road there and have resumed military
occupation of the country down to the
great wall.
