Denomination Of Richmond cigar Makers

RICHMOND, Sept 16.-The cigar makers IN
several factories in this city struck last week
for full union wages, which were conceded by
all the employers except those who sent
North for workmen To-day large number
of new hands arrived from Buffalo, and were
met by the strikers at the depot, who en-
deayored to dissuade them from going to
work. The newcomers, however. went to the
factory and prepared to 60 to work. The
demonstration Of the strikers, while not actu-
ally threatening, was OF such character as
to cause the employers of the new hands to
call for detail OF police at their factory to
guard against violence Tonight the strikers
and a large crowd OF sympathizers are parad-
ing the streets with music and Transparent
ces advertising the factories which ha W ac-
ceded to the demand for wages, according to
the union list. No trouble Is anticipated.

the run being about eight hundred and
navigation Is necessary Had the General Har-
ney sailed right along she WonId have reached
Norton sound about the eighth, the time the
Jeanette should have arrived there. There
fore it 10 probable that the Jeannette was
the General Harney, instead Of In Kotzebue
sound. This is, In measure, confirmed by
the fact that MiehaeIovski fSt. Michaelsi
where the Jeanette was to have taken extra
provisions and coal on board, is situated on
the southeastern coast OF Norton sound. The
meeting OF the exploring party In such lati-
tude on August would Indicate that they are
very likely to reach their winter quarters
safely before the ice begins to close.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Address Of Nathan Appleton at Chick
ering Hall Statements Of Senior
De Garay Of Mexico.
New York Tribune. September II.

IA6W IOER IEIDul6. s5sDL1hDcE Hi
A fair audience assembled last evening In
Cnickering Hall to near the Hon. Nathan
Appleton, OF Boston, who WAS one OF the
Americans at the recent international con-
gress at Paris. present the subject OF the
inter oceanic canal across the lsthInuS OF
Panama
Mr.. Appleton began by describing his ex-.
perience In connection with the opening Of
the Suez Canal in 1862 and his first acquain-
tance with Ferdinand dc Lesseps, whom ne
called the most extraordinary man OF the age.
He continued: The idea Of q canal across the
fsthmus OF Panama is ABOUT as old as the
discovery OF the continent. But l will only
relate my connection with 1t for the last ten
! ears and the steps leading up to the con-
gres3 at Paris. At various times since 1871
surveys Of the Routes have been made. Inc
great explorers of the region, whose opinions
were regarded as of weight In the congress,
have been Americans. It was fn 1876 that the
French began to take interest Ia Panama
canal, and the civil society to further 1t
as a speculation was formed. Lieut.. Hyse
was one OF the principal promoters OF this.
When NJ. de Lesseps took up the matter his
first movement was TO purchase from this
society Its rights TO a concession from the
| government of a route beside the Panama
| Railroad for $4,000 to be paid for princi-
paIly by stock in the new company. 1t was
| in anuary that the call for the congress was
| Issued, and 1t met In May, with nearly one
hundred representative men from various
| governments in attendance. 1t was called by
NJ de Lessegs, the one man who. by his past
| achievements In connection with the SueZ
canal had q right to call It. The work was
divided among four committees. The fourth
| or technical committee had the most iTnpor-
| tant work, that OF selecting the route. -Four
| teen routes were considered. Those regarded
| as Of importance were the following:

RUSSIA.

LONDON, Sept 15-The st: Petersburg
Golos considers the present q favorable op-
portunity for Russia to consolidate n, ner
strength in Bokhara. The Gotos says; we
would admit England's right to occupy CaDul
and Candahar. provided Herat was trans
ferred to Persia and Russia received 2 strip
OF territory on the left bank Of the Athreck,
which would serve as basis for her advance
ON Merv.
The Vedomosti, a Russian semi -ofncial u
newspaper, suggests that the opportunity is
a good one for Russia to deal India deadly
blow In Central Asia.

Peter Cooper was then introduced by the
chairman, and related some interesting anec-
dotes of the difficulties ne had overcome In
some Of his enterprises. He was followed by
Senior Francisco de Garay, Of Mexico,
uhe is In the city ON his return from Paris.
He characterized harshIy the Intel national
congress, saying that 10 the four public ses.
sions there was not q word about the canal ;
that the final vote was taken without an
opportunity for expression Of opinion, and
was carried by the force OF NJ. de Lesseps,
"whom 1t is impossible to contradict,
If he won't let you speak" Senor de
Garay called the Panama route the worst o.
all, and showed many OF the absurditles OF
engineering involved In it: such as cutting
900 feet deep or tunnel fifty yards high; al
lowing the Chargers river to plunge seventy
feet into the canal, a river as large as the
Thames, and one which rises eighteen feet In
an hour In the rainy season. He spoke OF the
vast number OF men who lost their lives In
building the railroad and OF the far greater
cost or the work there than at the Iehuante-
pee route The latter he favored, and declared
that his claims were not allowed hearing at
the congress. He further stated that NJ. DC
Lesseps had said that the Panama canal
would cost 400 ,000, 900 francs, whereas the es-
innate Of engineers at the congress was ,3o0,.
900 900 francs, and maintained that the scheme
was altogether discredited now In Europe
While favoring al interoceanlc canal, ne was
opposed altogether to the Panama route.
