London: NJ. Rectus, aid-de-c9mp of
the minister Of war, has been ordered
to Panama TO witness the preliminary
operations for the construction of a
canal.
Dublin, Dec. 2i.-Graye apprehen-
sions have arisen that the trial OF the
traversers will have 10 be adjourned,
owing TO the non attendance Of a sufli-
cient number of jurors. OF the "a re-
tained, five may be cast aside; one is q
government Official, exempted from
serving by act OF parliament; another is
man at present residing in Scotland;
a third person is living in America;
fourth is n man who never was in Ire
land, and tifth is an invalid whom 1t
would be almost impossible to convey to
Ireland. Several Of the jurors have put
in afiidayits containing declarations by
doctors that they are unfit to serve
owing to the condition of their health.
A few more will claim exemption rs
being beyond the statutory age. Thus
with all these objections, and the prob
ability of the absence of men who would
rather incur the penalty than serve,
there is n fair likelihood OF legal dis
cussion being raised on the constitution
OF the jury, on the ground that as the
panel OF AZ men contained the names
OF persons by statute exempt, the whole
proceedings must be quashed.

London, Dec. 2i.-Further corre-
spondence relating TO the Fortune bay
dispute is published. 1t covers n period
from August -, 1878, to June II, 1880,
and includes Lord Salisbury's dispatch
of April 3, 1880, declining to entertain
the claim for compensation, and Presi-
dent Hayes message, with Secretary
Evarts' report of May 18th. 1t en-
braces dispatch from Lord Granville
to Sir Edward Thornton, dated June
9th, describing an interview with Low
ell, United States minister, who re-
marked that much deeper and strong
er feeling on this question existed in
the United States than was appreciated
in London. Lord Granville replied in
n conciliatory manner, but observed
that his government could make no
concession which was not perfectly
justified.
Lowell, on being asked whether he
had any suggestions to make, replied
that he had none, and that he had only
to conform to the language of Evarts'
note. Lord Granville then inquired
whether it was possible to separate the
questions of the Interpretation of the
treaty, and the attack on the fishermen.
Lowell replied that he feared it was too
late, but he would ask the question.
A dispatch from Lowell to Lord
Granville, June II, communicates the
great qualification of Evarts at the ex-
preston by Granville Of the friendly
disposition Of the cabinet, and adds:
The president will be quite ready to en-
tertain any considerations tending to
relieve the question from its present
difficulties. 1t mentions in conclusion
that bill was then before congress
giving the president adequate discrc-
tionary power TO meet an accord be-
tween the two governments in regard
to the fishery rights of the United States
under the treaty.
