A meeting of shipmasters was held at Melbourne on September 23 lor the purpose of devising some means to recompense Cap tain Drew, of the schooner Awarua, and his Maori crew, for the loss they sustained in abandoning their sealing , cruise so as to rescue the survivors of the ship Berry Castle from the Auckland Islands, on the coast of which they were wrecked six months ago.

The Victorian Pilot Board held an inquiry into the cause of the collision which took place between the s.s. Manapouri .and the s.s. Palmerston in the Yarra on July 26. The evidence given was to the effect that the Manapouri was going slowly down the river in charge of Pilot Paxton, bound for New Zealand, and experienced great difficulty in getting round Humbug Pvcach. Whilst she was turning that bend the Palmerston, which was going to Circular Head, and was in command of Captain Richardson, overtook her, and, in endeavour- Ing , to pass the Manapouri, struck her abaft the main hatch, and tore away her stanch lons and rigging. After hearing evidence, and taking a day to consider it, the board censured Captain Richardson, of the efceamer Palmerston, for committing an error of judgment, but did not charge him with default. . ■■■>..:

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1887.

Tor the cause that lacks assistance, For the -wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that w« can do.

M. DE Lesseps, according to our cable despatches to-day, has reported that the Panama Canal will bo opened in three years, and that the work of wideninganddeepeningitwillthenbeun dertaken. This statement, it is hardly necessary to say, is made in connection with a demand for anew loan. The fundsof the OanalCompanyarenotquite exhausted, but they are running low, and the great canal-builder, is impelled to buoy up investors with the assur ance of success in order to get more money. Ardently as we wish success to this great enterprise and admire the indomitable pluck with which it has been undertaken, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that the enormous sum of has already been spent upon the work, and the opinion of the best authorities in the United States is still dead against the belief that it will suc ceed. "No doubt a good deal of the opposition in America arose out of the railroad interests on the Panama isth mus which the canal will destroy, and possibly some of it is attribut able to that jealousy of foreign enterprise on the continent which caused the disastrous failure of Maximilian's attempt under French patronage to found an empire in Mexico. Still neither of these reasons would account for the vast sum in ex cess of the estimate which De Lesseps originally made for the construction of Ihe canal, nor for the repeated postponement of the time fixed for its completiou. We can more fully under stand the gigantic nature of the work when we compare the expenditure up on it already with the cost of the Suez Canal. The waterway that gave the French engineer his world-wide fame was finished for less than £19,000,000, including the payment of interest during i construction, and already a sum aearly

three times as large has been sunk in the huge ditch at Panama, yet only a small part of the work is done. The Suez Canal is 92 miles long, while that at Panama is only 47 miles. The engineering difficulties in the way are still very formidable. The " Scientific American" of July 16 states :—

All the work done for a twelvemonth and even longer has consisted of the dredging of the soft material by contractors paid by the cubic yard ; men not in anywise identified with the project and having no inteiest in eicher its success or failure. Meantime, the projectors have been consider ing the really formidable problems on the solution of which depends the final accomplishment of the worlc. Fore most of these, is tho control of the torrents that at various times pour down the sides of the mountains, and which, if unchecked, make all hope of maintaining a canal vain ; and still another is the obstacle interposed by a mountain which has been found to be moving slowly into the very path of the canal. Add to these the deadliness of the climate, and the im portant difference between the mean level of the two oceans which the canal is de signed to connect, and ib is not surprising that the engineers in charge of the enter prise, skilled engineers as they are, have nob been able to discover a practical means of accomplishing their purpose.

The difference in ocean level referred to above is represented by a tide of only two feet on the Atlantic side and twenty feet on the Pacific, and the current caused by the difference of level would, accord ing to some engineers, alone be destruc tive of the canal even if opened through.

The " Scientific American " believes that the French people who have so long pinned their faith to M. de Les seps will finally become sickened, and refuse to furnish more funds, and that the enterprise will then be abandoned, no other country or private association deeming it worth while to take it up. We differ in toto from that opinion. That the first shareholders will lose their money seems almost a foregone conclusion. But we are not even now sure that tho enthusiasm of the projectors of the canal and the simplicity and comfort able means of the French peasantry will not carry the work through under the present auspices. Certainly no English or American capital could be obtained upon such terms. But if the offc-repeated predictions of the American Press that the work must come to a standstill were realised, some financial combination would surely be formed to turn the past expenditure to to account, and make a rich profit out of the losses which have been so patiently borne by the present share holders.

STANLEY'S TROUBLES.

A cable message which we published yesterday stated that the Uganda tribes were greatly excited at the ap proach of Mr Stanley and his followers This may be accepted as the fore: runner of serious trouble. The route taken by Stanley does not necessarily take him through the Uganda country; but the bloodthirsty savage who holds sway over that region will not hesitate to go but of his way to attack the Stanley expedition in the hope of gaining trophies in the shape of skulls, valuable goods, and fire-arms. When Speke and Stanley first visited Uganda, Mtesa was the emperor. In 1862 Speke spoke of him as a "youth ful prince, vain and heartless, a whole sale murderer and tyrant, one who de lighted in fat women." Twelve years later Stanley spoke of him as "an in telligent and distinguished prince, a powerful emperor, with great influence over his neighbours." He wore, a black robe, with a white shirt belted with gold. He had a body-guard of 3,000 well-armed and well-drilled troops.' His strength was considerable. Stan ley reported that on one occasion, dur ing his visit, he took the field at the head of 150,000 warriors. .

Since then Mtesa has died, and his son Mwanga—the bloodthirsty tyrant before alluded to—reigns in his stead. Mwanga is by all accounts a violent and drunken ruffian; his men are brave and ferocious savages; and their cupidity and lust of blood being ex cited, they may, unless they are placated by gifts and overawed by superior weapons of destruction, anni hilate the expedition now on its way to the relief of Emm Pasha. So far as the object of the expedition is concerned, it seems that it will matter little whether the German scientist is " relieved " or not, as he has declared his resolution not to abandon the peril ous work which he has undertaken. Should the question unhappily arise— " Who is to relieve the relief party f the British Government will doubtless at once send a military expedition by way of Zanzibar, which would serve the double purpose of bringing Mivanga to his sober senses, and asserting British authority over the large tract of the East African coast lately ceded by the Sultan of Zanzibar. In that work Germany would doubtless give a help ing hand. It is to bo hoped, however, that Stanley's knowledge of the natives, combined with hi? tact and firmness,' will secure the expedition against the possibility of disaster. His method with African natives has always been based on llichelieu's motto: " First, all means to conciliate; these failing, all means to crush." -He has placed it on record that no African " savages will molest a traveller who approaches them without arms; but the relief expedition is well armed, and that may be the reason of the excitement among the Uganda people. Stanleys journey has been a long and harass ing one. He expected to have finished last;, and now, when he has almost reached his goal, there comes this exciting news of probable opposi tion by a powerful savage chief at the head of a formidable army. Further news will be awaited with intense [ anxiety.
