New York, Jan. 1.-The Paris cor

Lesseps' methods of raising the wind
by his isthmus canal operations. The
real purpose, the true inwardness of the
scheme lies in the nineteenth article of
the contract or notarial act of the as
sociation constituting the company.
This states that ten per cent. of the
shares are to form a privileged series
Of the stock for the founders of the
company. If the whole stock should
be realized this privileged portion would
amount to about 10000, 600 francs, or
SO, 100000. Was there ever a more
barefaced announcements In truth,
De Lesseps is a flash man; his pecu-
MARY needs are great. He not only
wants money, but he wants much of it.
His liabilities are great, but am much
mistaken If he has not this time torn
of rather too much of the veil which
has hitherto hung over his schemes.
The total immigration at this point
for the year ending yesterday was
800, sos. This aggregate is altogether
unprecedented in the history of the
board of emigrant commissioners,
whose statistics 60 back as far as 1S47,
Five steamers arrived at Castle Garden

gers in the steerage. In 1879 the total

Washington, Jan. LIT is under
stood that the president will not ap-
point secretary of the navy, on ac-
count of the great difficulty of getting
suitable person to accept the position
for so short time. 1t is stated that

president can designate other officers to
act for ten days each, and in accord
ance with that opinion it is believed
the other cabinet officers will each in
turn be designated to act as secretary Of
the navy. In this event Attorney Gen

the customary republican simplicity of
tho chief magistrates Official life, and
makes the gold laced member of the

White House. Mrs. Hayes was, as
usual, assisted by the ladies Of the cab

this reception were several young Ia
dies now her guests at the White House,

reports as saying that the retrograde

government would endanger the throne
of King George, and the revolution
could scarcely be confined to Hellenic
territory. Moreover, he said that If
Greece in attempting to annex Thessa-
ly and Epirus should be reduced to a
position Of serious danger, France,
Italy and England would surely help
her. Russia, too, could not abandon
her Greek co-religionists to their fate
should their existence be imperiled.
