The Ancon ieft her berth at Cris- tobal at 7 o'clock this morning and made her way to the end of the deep water channel from the Atlantic to the Gatun locks, She went through these locks, which hi lift df eighty-five feet, in seventy minutes. She continued through the waterway from deep water on the Atlantic to deep water on the Pa- cific side without incident. She was due at the Pacific side at 6 o'clock this evening. Leaving Cristobal the Ancon passed several vessels at anchor in the har- bor waiting to follow her through the canal and thus make the first commercial use of the waterway. The decks of the Ancon were crowd- ed with guests of the Government and officials of the canal administra- tion and the Republic of Panama. The party included Col. -Goet! vu. 8. A., builder of the canal and Gov- ernor of the Zone; President Porras of Panama and C@pt. Hugh Rodman, U. 8. N., superintendent of trans- portation, In conformity with a promise made by Col, Goethals, the peace flag of the American Peace Society fluttered from the foremast df the Ancon, Be- neath her decks, however, were two huge pieces of artillery which are destined to form an important part in the defences of the waterway. The celebration attending the open- ing of the canal was only lical and suggested little of the international significance of the event. With the official Panama celebration set for next spring, even the United States was not oflictally represented to-day except by the» men who have long | been in the Canal Zone, All the seventy-four regular officers and men aboard the Ancon appeared in white uniforms and the ship itself glistened with new paint, over waich fluttered signal fags and the eos of all nations.
