PANAMA CONGRESS.
The whole course of cogitations, and of pro-
teedngs, on the part of tile cidevant President,
and his own Secretary of State, in relation TO this
most eccentric project, is, in the opinion of the
writer, Of character so novel and unaccounta-
BILE, that he earnestly begs the public attention. to
tire most prominent circumstances attending its
origin, progress, and final abortion.
The writer proposes to iay5 before the public for
consideration, all the extracts from official docu
ments, which he deems material for full informa-
ton upon this subject.in making compilations,
he proposes TO observe the regular chronology OF
events, whenever il can be conveniently done, as
being the best calculated to facilitate the due con-
temptation Of the subject, and 10 conduct the mind
TO proper results. With this view, he will begin
with extracts from the first treaty, concluded up
on the projected meeting OF the Panama Con-
gpess.-DurIng the year 1922, treaty for a meet
ing IN Congress, at Panama, of GIfhe Reptib-
lies, ,chieh had arisen ont of the cideUdnt Span
ish Colonies, was concluded between Colombia
and ChiIi--n 1923, between Colombia and PERU
during 1925, between Colombia and GuateyaaiR;
and between Colombia and Mexico Tbs9F W.

hetween The Southern Republics, upon that sub
ject, as far as is known to the writer and all,
which accompany the Presidents Message of
blarch 10, 1926, communicated on the 18th of the
same month. The consent OF three Of the Repub-
lies was still wanted TO complete and to legitimate

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a.
Tie Canal Laborers-We learn that the
laborers who recently arrived in this city
from England and who had entered into in
dentures TO serve the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company for four months, for the eX-
penses of their passage, were brought up on
Thursday last before Judge Cranch, on a
writ Of htbeas corpus These men had posi-
lively refused to comply with their engage
ments upon their arrival in this country, on
the ground, as we learn, that they could not
make themselves slaves, and were under no
obligation to serve the company, and had
therefore been imprisoned. These new-ian-
gled notions of American liberty were, how
ever, wholly subverted by the decision of
Judge Cranch, who has rcmanded them to
prison, there to remain till they consent to
comply with their solemn engagements, and
thus discharge the debt Which they have vol
unfairly contracted.-C Chronicle.

ADRuANop1E, Aug. 81


Yesterday morning our army took posses
sion of this second city Of the empire. The
few Turkish troops that had been left to de
ieud the city had already left it and dispersed.
Some Cossacks were sent Ill pursuit Of them.
The greatest tranquility prevailed at our en-
trance, which was favored by the finestweath-
or. Many of the inhabitants had come to
meet US, and on entering the city the whole
population locked together to see the t:oops.
4 division of liulans formed the van guard, a
battalion of Chassers Infantry with two
batteries. followed, and then the whole army,
with the commander in-chief riding at their
head. The band of each regiment played
the Russian National hymn, and as the Gene
ral drew up at the old Seraglio to let the ar
my detile before hIm, they greeted him with
a loud hurrah 4 general establishment seiz-
ed the Turks at the sight of our troops pass
ing through them, with an order TO them
wholly unknown. We, too, were surprised
in our turn 10y seeing ourselves hemmed IN
the streets by several thousand men in orien-
tai costume. After the army had been dell-
ed, several battaGons were drawn upin differ
ent markets and squares In the interior of the
city, and the General took up his quarters in
the old Seraslio. A deputation of the nota-
bles, headed by the chief Mollah, as Also all
the Censuls residing here, waited on him.
The fist prayed for his protection, thanked
him in the name Of their fellow citizens for
the Judicial powers left them, and promised
their fullest operation in maintaining the
public tranquility. We enjoyed the most
friendly reception, and found every where
greater progress in civilization than is usual
" expected among Turks. The old fanatical
zeal is scarcely to be traced, aud only the
lowest class continue to despise the adherents
Of another creed
