Tho Work ofl'liis Immense Artificial vt'ntcrw.-iy I. Strnilily Ailvnnclng. I'rnm the New Orleans Picayune. "There is not the slightest doubt that the Panama canal will be an accom plished fact within ten years," said Al fred Ahrllng. chit engineer, of Stock holm, Sweden, who Is stopping at the Cosmopolitan, to the Picayune repre sentative last night. Mr. Ahrllng spent three years as one of the civil engineers of the great pro ject, and only recently severed his con nection with the new Panama Canal company, which Is now prosecuting the work, he says, with a force of about two thousand men. "The work Is being now advanced with great adroitness and remarkable economy and system," said he to the Picayune man. "And I am free to say that If the first company hud husband ed Its $300,000,000 which it expended on this project the Panama canal would be very, very near completion today. Thero was a great deal of waste, as the wot Id knows pretty generally, In this llrst management, nnd the evidences of this waste are, In fact, to be seen even unto today. M. Hutin Is now the director general, and 11. Mauge the manager-ln-fhlef. Their administra tion thus far rollects greatest credit upon their ability and judgment. With tho means nt hand, which arc com paratively slender, they are accomplish ing wonders. They have spent about $3,000,000 .up to date, nnd If the funds hold out a little longer there is no doubt that tho work will be successfully brought to a close, and it cannot be possible that the funds for the enter prise shall not be forthcoming, "The work Is now being concentrated upon the mountain ridge between Era perador and Merofloures, a stretch of which Culebro. Is the center and about the highest point to bo cut through. The hills along here rise to a height of some six hundred feet, and about two hundred feet have been shaved off this altitude. They are of a sandstone na ture, and blasting Is done to advant age. The entire stretch yet to be cut through Is about nineteen miles, for the canal on the Atlantic side has been completed to Uolilla, nnd on the Pacific to Meroiloures. "The water-level plan, which was that llrst ilgured on, has been aban doned, and the canal will have, accord ing to Inter and better-advised engin eers, to be divided by seven locks, sta tioned at Intervals. This h done for the reason that the difference in the tide of the Atlantic and the Pacific Is something In the neighborhood of twenty-two feet. The tide on the Pacific coast rises to twenty-four feet, while that on the Atlantic rises to only two, and It would consequently result that, If the water-elevel plan wore adopted, there would at one time bo an ungov ernable Hood pouring In from the Pan ama entrance on the Pacific side, nnd at another nn ebb which would leave the ships high and dry on tho land. "There has consequently been devised a series of locks. Two are placed at tho Atlantic and Pacific outlets, and there are Ave of them In the interven ing space. To Pohlo, on the Atlantic side, the canal is Illicit with water from the guf, and to Merofloures, on the Pacific side, the canal is filled with the water of the Pacliie ocean. The lock is opened at Panama when the tide Is coming In, and allowed to fill the canal, and when It begins to ebb it Is closed down, allowing the water to remain Inside. The same tiling Is to be done on the Atlantic side. The Intermediate sections, which are held In the embrace of the locks, are supplied by the water of the Itlo Orande and Chagres rivers, "There will be sufllclent water when these works nre completed for the heav iest ship In existence or ever to be made, as science calculates. The depth of the canal will bo fifty feet. "It Is hardly possible that the Intel ligence and capital of the world nre going to nllow this huge enterprise, which means so much to the commerce of all nations, to lag for the lack of funds. It Is too nearly completed, and there is n possibility of its completion in tho too immediate future. If the work Is continued under such direction as that It at present enjoys, the time is not far distant from Its completion." THE UII'IIO.IIPTU DOCTOR. lie Itoliovcs the Hiill'oriiig .Million aim nnd Receive) n ilcnltliv Fee, From tho Detroit Free Press. "For a time," said a man who is now an employer Instead of an era ployo, "I was manuger for on Kastern company mining copper in the upper peninsular of this state. It Is a de lightful part of the world In summer nnd some of the stockholders used to be with us nearly ull the time during the hot months. "Among those, who took 'this vaca tion the most wus a little bachelor millionaire from Boston. In my opin ion he was tough aa a pine knot, but a confirmed hypochondriac. He nlways had a chest of dru with him that would stock a young drug store und It was an off day when ho did not tako from three to ten, different kinds of medicine. He seemed to live In con stant dread of being carried off sud denly by some of his recurring mal adies, and It came to bo a standing Joke among some of us who knew his peculiarity. "But ono day he was doubled up In earnest. He wont fishing, lost his lunch, nte heartily of the rough faro at a minor's shanty, took cold and had a severe attack of acute Indigestion. I never saw a man more frightened. He was perfectly sure that the last call had come. He had men hustling In all directions to telegraph for tho best doctors to be hod. But it was plain that ho never expected any of them to reach him, SI "Thero wjih a smooth fellow that wo called Parson loafing nbout the plaou. He was as cultivated a rascal as ever lived on his wits. I hurried him Into a black suit of mlno over fresh linen, had him shaved, put the Uostonlan'B own plup hat on him and told him to follow mo. At the bedside 1 Introduced him under the name of a distinguished Chicago physician nnd remnrked how lucl.y It was that he should be In tho section. Parson proved a star. Ills perfect coolness restored confidence. Ho pronounced It a slight attack of something no one ever heard of, but peculiar to the reclon and never fa tal. Then he mixed up a dose of red pepper, cheap whisky and peppermint, told the patient to swallow It right down, nnd then had nothlnc more to do than to keep the poor fellow from strangling. This and tho old bachel or's Imagination saved him. Otherwise he would have died from fright. Par fl'in solemnly charged a $200 fee, A month later I received this watch. I will never bo rich enoueh to want a finer one." FORTUNES LOST HY GAMIIIiEKS Millions Tlint CliniiRO Ilnmla on tho Turn of n Curd. From Tld-nits. Uenson, the Jubilee plunger, thought It worth while to write or have written for him a book telling how, In 1S87, he spent nnd gambled away a fortune of 230,000. Yet Benson's wns by no means a record; Indeed, if a list of the biggest losses In a single year by gamb lers were compiled it would be found thnt Uenson would not be In the first hundred. The famous Lady Castlemalne was one of the most notorious gamblers of her day. Pepys, In his amusing diary, tells us that In a single night her losses amounted to over 23,000, and that, too, In a time, be It remembered, when money had two or three times Its pres ent purchasing power. Nell Gwynno, actress and court fa vorite, beggared heself times over and over again at the gaming table. Her contemporary, the Duchess of Mazarln, niece of the famous cardinal of that name, raised In many ways large sums of money, always to lose them in the card room. Charles James Pox, as well as being a great statesman, was a notorious gambler. He lost enormous sums, and managed to get through several for tunes. His own estate and fortune passed out of his hands very early, and then Lord Holland paid for him 140, 000 to rid him of his debts. Fortunes that came to him afterward by marriage were similarly gambled away in the gambling clubs of St. James and Pall Mall. Fox always took his beating like a man; he was the coolest gambler of a gambling age, and watched the turn-up of a card on which thousands depended with an apparent stole Indifference. The clubs at the end of the last cen tury were hot beds of gambling. Lord Stavordale lost 11,000 at one sitting at Almack's one night, and was rising to go when the winner offered to throw him the dice for double or quits; Lord Stavordale did so and won. At the Cocoa. Tree, a famous club In its day, there was In 1780 one famous evening, of which the records are still preserved, when a sum of 180,000 de pended on a single hazard. As an instance of the enormous sums lost oven early In this century, it mny be stated that the club known as Crick ford's was started in 1S27 by a fish monger of that name; by keeping a hazard bank he retired In 1840, twice over a millionaire. To come to more recent times, the late Lord Waterford lost on the turf, and by his eccentric wagers of Immense sums, tho precise amount of which It would be Impossible to set down. Tho Marquis of Hastings plunged till he became at once the terror and the Joy of the racing fraternity. His losses on "Hermit's Derby" were considerably over 100,000. "When Mr. Ablngton Calrd died it was computed that his losses on the turf alone amounted to close on half a mil lion. FOREST CITY. Rev. W. A.

Now York, Feb. lO.Tho most Interest ing featuro of today's stock market was tho manner In which It .regarded the Spanish minister's resignation. In vlow of tho sensitiveness In the recent past to everything connected with tho Cuban question, its disregard of tin Incident In volving bo acuto a phase of feeling Is notoworthy. Tho vlow taken of the sub ject on tho street Is that tho possibility of the danger iti It had been avoided by the llrm and prompt manner In wnlch the Incident had been treated by tho government. Prices advanced from tho opening of the market. Higher quota tions from .London gavo nn Impetus to tho opening rise. Thero wus no general setback from tho opening to tho close of tho market. The only thing approaching It was an occasional pause In tho nd vance, but this was simply duo to a. fall ing off In tho buying and not to heavy offerings. Upon a lenewal of activity the upward movement begun again. Ad vances were not uniform and were not .simultaneous. Considering the volume of tho trading for tho day tho rlso In some stocks was notably small. In those who show largo gains tho advances wcro nindo nt different times, first ono and then another stock or group of stocks being taken up nod pushed. Total sales were 393,900 shares.
