—dq 1 PANAMA CANAL OPEN TO TRAFFIG Steady Stream of Barges Passing Through. DUE T0 MEXICAN REVOLT Closing of Tehauntepec Railroad Causes Tremendous Congestion of Interoceanic Trade and Colonel Goethals Renders Assistance. ‘Washington, May —TFor the first time in the world’s history water Porne traffic is now passing through the Panama canal, according to the reports that have been received at the headquarters of the Panama’ railroad in New York forwarded here. Although conirmation of thg report has not reached the Washington office | of the isthmian canal commission it is- known that ample provision had been | made by Colonel Goethals for the. fn- stitution of water service, limited at first strictly to barges, beginnmg not later than May 10. As a matter of fact according to the Panama railroad.reports, the serv-, ice actually began last Saturday and a steady stream of barges in tow is [ now passing through the c¢anal. Ocean Congestion Causes Start. The tremendoys congestion in in- ter-oceanic commerce caused by sus- pension of service on the Tehaunte- pec railroad in Southern Mexico, .as an incident to the rebellion, brought about this rather premature opening of the canal to trade. Several of the great freight liners which, in conjunction with the similar service on the Pacific, maintained trade lines between Europe and the Far East via Tehauntepec, have re- cently appeared at Colon and Panama offering for transshipment overland cargoes far beyond the capacity of the Panama railroad. Finding that Colonel Goethals was willing to assist them by clearing an adequate channel for barges, at least, through the Cuharacha sljde, the com- pany obtained barges that have been used for harbor purposes at Colon and Panama’ and established the service.

Fishermen who for several years have spent hours during the open season fishing from the cribs at the Warfield dam, fearing the approach of the game warden, bccausc of the false belief that to fish within 300 feet of the fishway was illegal, have no morg cause to feel anxious. While the sign at the dam reads that fish- ing within 300 feet of the fishway is illegal, Inspector S. IC Bailey said to-. day that for the benefit of the wor- ried anglers he wished the announce- ment ot be made that 50 feet is the law limit. The cribs are just-out- side the limit.
