THE PANAMA CANAL.


Ex,secretary of the Navy Thompson. chief Of
the American syndicate having In charge the con-
slruction Of the Dc Lesseps Canal across the
Isthmus Of Panama, arrived in this city from the
West yesterday, and he'd an important conference
with the Mcssrs. seliGman, the financial agents in
this country Of the company.
MIR, Thompson subsequently said to Graphic
reporter that all stories nbOnt sickness among the
lnborers ON the Isthmus and the bad condition Of
affairs connected with the great scheme were
almost without exception grOundless, and were
originated by those inimioal to the undertaking.
On the contrary, he said that work on the canal
was being pushed ahead MS vigorously rs possible,
and that already great deal had been accom-
plished. About three thousand laborers arc now
employed and recently an American hrm-Measrs
SlayRn & Lynch, Of San Franoisco-had secured
contract 70 dig eight miles OF tho canal on the
Aspinwall side, aud will begin operations immo-
diately. Other divisions, Mr. Thompson said,
would be given 10 other contractors, who, with the
most improved machinery, mostly ofAmerican in.
vention and make, would soon make remarkable
changes along the entire route. So fur rs prneu-
cable the greater portion Of the supplies and ma
terias are being purchased In the United States,
and Mr.. Thompson l. firmly convinced that the
canal win DO opened TO the commerce Of the world
In seven years from the date Of the commencement
Of the work. Nelg York Graphic (WedHtsddy),
