This is the modest requirement of the United States Govern. ment, and they find some difficulty in spotting the right man.
The ideal of the Panonm Canal Commis- sion is to let out the actual work of con struction to an association of contractors, each momber of which will bo an expert in serae branch of tho work, on a percentage basis, but the ideal is not so easy to realise. The Government wishes to reserve for itself on the isthmus the organisation of sanitation and engineering; thero is at tho present moment a completa staff organisoi for this purpose. The control of the quar ters and commissarint department, which has been so carefully devised to safeguard the health of employés on the isthmus,- will also be retained under Government control, the elaborate labour-saving con. struction plant will be placed at the dis- posal of the continetors, but under the solo centrul of the Canni Commission; the Papana Railroad Company, which to-day is owned by the Goverment, will remain under their jurisdiction.
30,000 WORKERS.
The Commission will ask for a sum of £800,000 as security from each group of competing contractors, and this sum should be ample guarantes of bona fides.
The contract being made on the basis of percentage on expenditure will given fuirer flexibility to the deal, and modifcations of any nature can be made without prejudice to the contracting parties.

Fully $4,000 men are on the pay-roll of the Commission; add to this between four and five thousand on the books of the Panama Railroad and a number of, jude. pendent West Indian blacks who work spasmodically on the canal, the actual number of men-labouring in the interosty of the canal naounts to just on 30,000. This army is fed, housed, and evan amused
by the Chaal Commission, who have re-
ceived reward for their carefully ne plans by the satisfactory increase in the
work done.
In February 1997, 900,000 cubic yards of earth were excavated from the caval; in March the figure was 1,100,000 cubic yards. Compare these figures with 1,600,000 cubic
