Ionai‘lcial Results rum The Panama
l usual—What it Will lave.
'The Panama canal being new prac-
tlcaily assured said s New Y0r.ker "it
is interesting to acts the lines of traitlc
i that will possibly make use of the new
‘ gateway to the Pscliilc. Naturally the
United States will reap the greatest
benetlt from the short out to the west.
coast of America and the far east. but
Europe will also profit by the shorten-
ing of steamship routes to many piac es.
“The greatest saving of distance will
be ottected by lines running from the
east coast of the United States to the
Pacific coastports of this country and
to the west coast of South and Cimlrai
America. A steamer going from New
York to San Francisco by the plenum
route, by way of the Strait of Magi-Hull
allowing for calls at the usual coal
lug polls. covers 13,090 miles. by the
Panama route it is only 5. 294 miles
about iWoiitths of the dlfltantfl. To
Guayaquil. Reader by the st. .1 ttrom
this port is 10. 200 miles. while. ' v' 1y
of Panama it is 7 ,342 miles less. or a
little more than one-fourth the distance
Even as far south as Valparaiso. Chill.
the Panama route would be shorter by
3.829 miles.
”vessels from Europe to the same
ports would shorten their trips mater-
ially by using the isthmus canal. To
San Francisco the voyage from ilam
burg for instance would be reduced by
.1048 miles, to Guayaquil by 5. 200 and
to Valparaiso by l. 543 miles. The lines
from New York to Australia and New
Zealand could cut down theil mileage
greatly by going by way of Panama. iii-
stead of by the Cape oi Good Hope
route as at present. The saving would
vary from 5.175 miles in a voyage to
Wellington. New Zealand. to 2, 20"
miles in the trip to Adelaide, South
Australia. The long rtin lrom St. Vin
cent Cape Verde. to Melbourne, with
out a stop. a distance of 9.751 miles.
would be shortened to 0.512 miles be-
tween Panama and Wellington, New
chland.
“To China and Japan the saving in
would not be so great as Is generally
supposed. Fioni New Yolk to Yoko-
hama. Japan by way of 8110'. is 13. 040
miles, while by way of Panama the dis
tallco would be 10,088 miles; to Shalig
hill, China the Panama. route would hi
only 1,330 miles loss than that by Suez.
To other ports in China and to Manila
the distance would be about the slime
whether the journey were made by thc
Panama or the Suez canal. To the lia-
waiiau islands howcv.cl the saying cf
ict ted by the Panama route would be
6, .in miles.
"The ciliti’ item in the opt-rating cir-
pcnscs of freight stcaiilcls~ is coal, and
shortening the voyage incails so much
coal saved. The uvcrugc long distance
liclghtcl bums about .20 ions 01 real 0
day to steam 200 to; 50 miles: so it will

Again, on long voyages so much coal
has to he carried that considerable
room which could be uscd for il‘cignt

"Steamers on the shortened routes
could also make. at icrai iiiulo trips in

than 83.000 in coal ultiilc WtIliltl beef-
