Italian Canal Diggers Strike and Cause
Apprehensions OF Serious DinieuItiea.
BosroN, October 2O.-A special from
Sandwich to the Journal says; The Italian
canal men to-day have q new scheme
afoat for securing their dues. The Chief
of State Police this morning learned from
one Of the interpreters that the men pro-
posed to take into their custody the con-
tractor, Dreisback, and remove him to
their barracks and hold him as hostage
till their claims are satisfied. OF course
any such attempt will be promptly met by
vigorous action on the part Of the State
force and the special police sworn in by
the selectmen. The Italians promise good
behavior and there Is no reason TO appre-
hend any lawless acts declared against
public orTprivate property, unless hunger
should render them desperate. The food
on hand will last two days. II is further
learned, regarding the financial condition
OF the enterprise that unless Fisher, the
chief contractor, advances $500, 900 before
the 25th inst, his contracts forfeited, and
the control OF the operations reyerts to
the Company, which thereby saves ST.
800, 900 margin. This result is what Presi-
dent Goddard is Thought to be striving for.
Contractor Driesback then expects to re-
ceive all the necessary funds direct from
the Company. He says $1,000 would tide
over the present trouble. Private advices
from New York say that President God.

New York, October l9.-The Sun reads

NEw YoRK. October 2O.-Dr. Tanner
said to-day: "Iam making arrangements
with DR.. W. B. Richardson, of London, to
fast there. DR.. Richardson has gained
considerable reputation on account Of tie
stand he has made against the use Of
alcohol as medicine. have told
him that would do the forty-day's
fast again in London, and he Is to issue a
challenge TO the brewers, distillers and
doctors. They may select six men, as near
my age and physical condition as possible.
They can take wine, beer or any spir.
ituous liquor during the fast, and I will
take water only, and we'll see what the re.
suit will be. l am sure they can't stand
1t, and the reason is plain. When tasted
l lived on myself; on the decomposition
OF my tissues. l lost half pound per day
in tissues. It was as nourishing to me
as half pound OF any other
animal tissue. Now, as | said, alcohol
checked the decomposition OF tissue. Sup.

death"

New YoRK, October 20.-The numerous
letters and kilograms received yesterda,
by the Republican State Committee, anc
the constant rush OF visitors, are fair indi
cations OF the work that Is being done II
this State. There were good eyid ences be
fore the Indiana election that New Yorh
would give Republican majority, bpl
since the defeat OF the Democrats In The
West the situation Is greatly improved
here. The Democratic are not offering SO
firm resistance now as before, while the
desertions from theirsideare more numer.
GUS. The information received at head.
quarters, however, shows that the 'still
hunt" methods OF the Democrats are OF q
desperate character, and Republicans are
warned to relax no efforts.
Special requests have been sent to Re.
publicans in the interior closely to scru.
tiniZe the poll list, as information has
been received OF attempts at colonization
OF Democrats from adjoining Republi.
can States. Secret agents sent out from
the Democratic national headquarters are
now traversiDg the interior, and des.
perate attempt will be made BY them to
carry New York without any regard to the
means used. Mr.. Barnum has probably
made the same threat about this State
that he did about Indiana, that che would
carry 1t Tor Hancock or wipe 1t of the

There is great demand from the inter.
