A Letter From the Isthmus of Panama. Empire, Canal Zone, Puuama, Nov. 18th, 1900. Editor President's fleet arrived in Galon Harbor the evening of November 14th, 190G, tho FiBsMent being on board tho flagship, Louisiaaa, Mr. Roosevelt remained on board during tbe night, and tag the schedule, was supposed to disembark tho next morning at o'clock, but with a disregard for tho itinerary which had been arranged for him tbat characterized bis entira Ms- it, the Presideit arose at flve o'clock the morning of the 16th, and insisted upon landing.

His special train, consisting of but three cars, the private'cars, La Fiance and lltipulica tic Panama, and one biggage roach, were waiting at the' Colon station of the Panama Railroad," and tho President, wilh his party, Mr. and Mrs. Sbonti, Chief Engineer Stevens, President of the Republic of Panama Ammlor and Mis. Aruador, boarded the-trnin and started on the President's first trip across the Isthmus, in a driving rain. At every atutlon he was enthusiastically received by the although the Jamaican', being British subjects, were rather disappointed In him, as he wore a i of white, with a widolrrimmed Panama bat, and they ox- cted to ape Ihe 1'resident ot tho Unittd States in the uniform of a General, at least.

Ilia journey ftom Colon to the City of Panamn wus wiihout event. At Paimum ho proceeded to his suite of rooms ut the Tivoli, a fino new hotel, comparing favorably with ihe best hostol- ries of the states, und lo the evt-ning was tendered a reception by the officials of the Puntiina Republic. Friday morning dawned, i the rain still falling in tor- reuta, anil at clay break tho President was astir and ready f-r his inspection of the nctual canal work, nud his rpecinl fUrted "roiu Panama at 7.30 and entered the i a Prism at Pedro Miguel, and pro- ceedoil by stages through to Empire, tha Prenldeut leaving the train, and climbing through tbe mod tc the t'innt steam sriovc'8, and elumbering up on them, with (tie officials rif his party pat following, Interview ing steam shovel men aod michanion, i i i how well they were Satisfied with their fiuart- food, WUBCS and so forth and i notes of a i in the nature of a com- plaiut. At noon he returned from Em- piro and took luncheon i the Chief Engineer, John F. Stevens, aod Mrn.

Slovens, at their Oulehra residence, after which be returned to Panama to the Tivoli, where 111 the eieniog he tendered a reooplion to the hearts of departments. Thus iiiidod his i day, aud not a minute wusted from the time he Bet foot on tho Isthmus The rain having continued i the entire stay of tho President, a landslide at Paraiso, i of no very serious nature a train or two and blocked all traffic from Panama to Colon, and tbs President bud to return from Panama to Empire hy the triciih of Oanal Commission, they connect with the main Hue of the Panama Riu road, and thence his Fpicial returned to Go'on where a reception and ball was held in hia honor. Hero the President made ouo of his famous "improvised" speeches in which he very i a i a stated that he was positive that the "Cnnal i uo built," aod declared himself moht i in of it, pruned the men wtiri came down and had tho courage to f-tay in this country, for he stud, a briously You do have some rain here Somebody in the crowd called out to him, "How about Poultnoy Hitjelow, Mi Kopfceiolt?" und the. way laughed, and showed that splendid not of teeth his was caution, und while he never mentioned the name of Poultney Bine- low, he such evident allusions to a finders and petty trlflors thnt there was little doubt whom was referred to. The President teels thoroly (spelt accord ing to the Roofovelt simpifleil spelling method which rifts to'io into effect here on the Isthmus) convinced a Poultney Bigelpw is merely an agitator, th all his mHRKzine articles on "Paniiua, the Human Siddf" and BO forth, arc BO much not vvorfh rcadiog.a? they are for the mott part untrue and exaggerated.

In speaking of his trip to the Isthmus the 1'rosident saul that For a- President of the United States to lenve the United States is unprecedented, but how aboul this job of i i the Panama Canal, is it not alao unprecedented?" During his stay in the Canal Zone Roosevelt did not wuit for the officials to show him where to go, ho led the way himself. Always in tin) lead, and generally covered with mud, with a wet bedraggled party hustling to Keep up with him, the President investigated here ana pried there, noting sanitary conditions in particular, he praised aod condemned impartially At one place he left the train, find commanded the rest of the party to proceed into Colon, and ho went on a tour of investigation alone, nod when tlie special arrived at Colon, Captain Shanton, Chief of Police and the secret service rrmn started hot foot back to Mt. Hope in search of a truant President. One a a ffict was that, at no time was the Pieaident out of touch with Washington for more than an hour at a timo. Ho had one special aide, whose duty was to keep in touch with Washington and report anything which might he of interest from either end.

Another instance of Mr. Roosevelt's utter disregard for the plans which had beon so carefully laid out was that Mr. Tubby, Chief of tho Di.ision of Material and ftupplief, had made arrangements to entertain the President on two occasions, and had prepared sumptuous repasts, and Mr. Roosevelt preferred to go on one occasion to dine with W. Q.

Beird, General Manager of the Panama Railroad, and on the other he had already started on his tour of inspection before the time he wan cine to leave Colon, and so the Chief of Supplies was disappointed on both occasions. For somu reason (he President terminated bis stay on the Istbmus one day earlier than was intended, but he said that he mnst hustle away as "He bad a job of his own in the states that be must get back to." Mr. Roossvclt is going to suggest that Americans who have been engaged on the Isthmian work for a certain length of timo and have made good, re- cehe an insignia to show honorable service. defined "Making good" as "Doing just a little more aud doing it a little better than is absolutely necessary." During his speech at Cristobal Mr. Roosevelt mild he was much pleased with the prevailing cpirit oo the Canal, an in- stancce being at Pedro Miguel, where, one of the steam shovels bore the inscription In large letters, "We'll help you dig which pleaded him immensely.

On the whole the President is more enthusiastic than ever about the in- tor-oc'aoio canal and he will do all io his power to bring it to a prompt and successful conclusion. He left Dock In the steamer from the Flagship Louisiana, smtd the heartiest kind of chcnrs from the Americana, having RutisHed Minielf and everybody coooerneu and having instiled new life into the Canal Zone, and tbe men digging the ditch.
