FIRE IN sh- Mines.
VIRGINIA, New, July "A fire
broke out in the old winze of the
Imperial mine on the 2100-foot
level at 6 O'Clock last evening. The
men were imm ediately hoisted out
OF the Imperial mine and the alarm
. spread to the adjoining miGes. The
smoke and gas rushed through the
long drift to the Bullion and Ex-
chequer, overwhe ming three men,
who are still missing. Their names
are Donahue, Perry and Cochran.
1t is not known what fate has be-
fallen them, but probably they
have been smothered by the smoke
and gas. The drift to the Yellow
Jacket new works has been bulk
headed.

1 Canal Ps"ject-A Note Of Waru-
ing.
NEW YORK. July 2.-The Times
says of the Isthmus Canal: For
ourselves, we owe our immunity
from international broils, our
peaceful prospects, our freedom
from the paralyzing burden of
standing armies, to the doctrine
that nations. as well as men,
should mind their own business.
Europe Is an armed camp, and it's
military expenses sap the resources
of her vatious nations, because
each insists upon a concern in the
affairs of the others, and all have
i common or conflicting interests,
in one direction or another, OF
which they are extremely jealous.
1t would be an evil day
when any such conflict of in
ternatlonAl interests should be per-
mitted to obtain foothold on
this hemisphere. The United
States Is especially concerned to
prevent 1t. The Isthmus canal
looks much like an entering wedge
to cleave place for European in
terests, with all the contentious in
which they are continually in-
volved. AS a French enterprise or
ap European enterprise, it will be
menace. AS an American enter
prise, 1t might be blessing. Our
I commercial concern In it is far
II greater than that of any other ma.
II ton. Our political coucern in it
II dominates all others. The present
4 project, under the existing auspices
n and with the prospects distinctly
N foreshadowed, is opposed to our in.
\ terests In every way. We should
give it no cOuntenahce, and should
not fail TO provide ourselves with q
distinctly defined and strongly for
tilted vantage ground from which
to meet the questions of the future
ii 1t goes on.
