AT THE COAL MINES.
SCRANTON, Pa, May 4.-Work at Trip mines
was suspended last night, the men having been
threatened with violence if they continued and
another company of soldiers has been summoned
to protect the public safety. Trouble is not an
tcipated at the mine but the men fear they will
be set upon and waylaid when alone and uupro-
tected. The men i'll the employ of Morris &
Weeks go armed to the teeth, and say they will
make desperate resistance should any attempt
be made to modest them. The men in the en-
ploy of Hill g. Fellows, reported fleeing to the
woods for safety have returned to work. The
miners are getting more and more anxious to
resume work. The WilkeSbarre coal and iron
company will resume work to-day in all their

only way to bring about general resumption,
as the council will take no definite action in the
matter. Prominent coal operators predict that
there will be an immediate resumption.
THE DARIEN SHIP CANAL SURVEY.
AsPINwALL, May 2.-Commander Selfridge
thinks that the Napipi route survey, which has
just been completed, successful for the purpose
intended. The distance from Capca bay to the
Atrato, along the bends of the Napipi river, is
sxty-nine and half miles, and on a straight
line twenty miles from Atrato. Some of the
party proceeded to Vegra village, ten miles fur
ther up, for provisions. The Napipi flows
through a mountainous country. About thir-
teen miles from its mouth it divides and obtains
an additional supply of water from the Dognado
tributary 1t is proposed TO make thirteen locks
from Dognado, eighteen miles from Atrato, to
construct a tunnel through the mountain, and
descend to the Pacific by nine locks. The sur
vey occupied tweniy-seyen days. No intelli-
gence has been received from the explorers up
the Cue. IL is certain that they are not the
rfU hn Darp flo riu from
Atrato. The elevation in that direction is likely
to exceed that previously announced regarding
the route via Tugra, which is impracticabe.
The party from the United States ship Guard
will return as they came. Those on this side
intend to take a direct line from the headquar-
tiers of the Cue. Great hardships were encoun-
tered by the party all along that river two
thirds of the men being stricken down with
fever, and over twenty seamen and Macheleros
under medical treatment at Boca Paya Only
four men and one officer were able to do any,
thing. The entire party will return to the
United States in the steamer Resaca in a fort
night. 1t is still hoped that the route via
Tugra will be successful.
