yesterday the case Of Widow Oliver against
Ex-senator Simon Cameron was called.
Mr. Kiddle, the widows ex-attorney, but
on the Senator's side on this trial, said that
one of his colleagues, Col. w. A. Cook, was
dangerously sick, and the other, General
Butler, was far away. The former he hoped
would be better by the time the case was
reached in the term commencing next
Monday, and the latter was expected here
on the 25th. The case was therefore con-
tinued for the next term, with the under
standing that it would be called at the end
of this or the beginning OF next month.
3 THE IsrHMus QUESTION. 1855 "
The Star OF this evening says: "The
Navy Department has information that the
United States steamer Adams has estab-
lished coaling station OH the west sideUf
Isthmus of Panama at Gull OF Dulce. The
Kearsage has established u simiar station
on the east side of the Isthmua Advices
which are contained in the Press dispatches
about the movements Of the United States
vessels in the Isthnfis waters continue 10
say that the local governments are indlg-
nant at the course which is being pursued
by this country and ave loud in their de-
nunciation. This Is not true.
"The same influence that instigates all
that comes from. Panama on this subject
the Panama Railroad Company-is now
very busy in tryingto create the impres-
sion that international complications may
arise from what has been and is being done
by the United States 1t nlisrepressnts
most completely both the intentions Of Il. is
Government and the manner in which
these intentions are carried out, and it can
be stated on the best authority that nOth-
ing las been done that is Objectionable or
likely to lead to any complication, and,
further, that nothing will be done that
woald tend in that direction. Ia.
"a coaling station has been established on
either side of the lsthmus; one at Chirique
lagoon, and the other at the Gulf OF Dulce.
The United States has coaing stations all
over the world Tie advisability of hav-
ing them at the points recently selected
is evident If no government is interfered
with and no government raises objection to
their establishment, it will be u hard mat
ter for the Panama Railroad Company TO
make the public believe tnat the United
States is interfering in an unwarranted
manner in tile affairs of the Isthmus
"There is no uonbt that the sea coaling
stations would not have been established
ut 80 early a date if subject OF an inter-
oceanic canal had not assumed its present
importance. Establishment of sch sta.
ii IL was contemplated as nearly as last
summer as reference to It's files Of the s al
will show, Steps have, however, been taken
t, prevent any complications. The whole
| matter viii be maue public at early dates
The Panama Railroad Company is boun
up with De Lesseps' scheVe for canal and
is doing all it cn to lead off anything
that looks like encouraging canal b. any
other route. The United States has taken
no STEPS in behalf Of al y particular r uts
or an proposed inter,ocealiic railway orshiI
canal"
