The suez Canal Agreement.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-A Paris CORE.
spondent of the Times says that there is
reason to believe that the basis ON which
an agreement is likely to be reached be.
tween the Suez Canal Company and the
English shipowners is that the admins
tration of the company shall be A per
cent. English and 56 per cent. French,
that England as well as France shall be
the seat of administration, and that all
differences that may arise shall be settled
by English tribunes. This is stated to be
the English proposal, but De Lesseps will
not accede to it.
A Cairo dispatch says that it is under.
stood there that the legal advisers of the
Egyptian Government decidedly oppose
De Lesseps' claim to his right to widen
the Suez canal without permission of the
government.

A PIRATICAL CORREJIDOR
HE sWOOPS DOWN ON A SHIP
WRECKED SEA CAPTAIN.

The Island of New Providence the
Scene of the Outrage and the Victim
an Amerlcan-Serious International
Complications Threatened-The Cap
tain Virtually a Prisoner.
PANAMA, Nov. THE American bark
Azor, Capt. Haines, of and from Boston
for Aspinwall, with cargo of dressed
lumber, was wrecked few weeks ago on
the Island of New Providence. The Cap
tain, who is part owner of the vessel,
made an agreement with some men to
save what could be got out Of her. Subse-
quently Mr.. Bailey, an American, and
two other merchants purchased the sal
vaged lumber, which was regularly sold
at public auction. After the sale had
been effected and the money paid
the Correjidor interfered, and, find
ing that Capt. Haines refused to
divide with him the money re-
ceived, as he had succeeded in compelling
such division in the case of another
American vessel wrecked thereabouts a
year ago, declares the sale to be ''cancel-
ed" and determined to refer The matter
to San Andres for decision by the court of
that department, or the authorities of Bo-
gotta. The Captain and principal pur-
chaser finding themselves deprived of their
property, determined to visit Colon, to
represent the matter to the United States
Consul. Then the COrrejidor prohibited
the purchasers leaving New Providence,
and put them under bonds of 5000 each,
and required the Captain to give security
for 81, 900 that he would not go to Jamaica
by vessel which was about to leave.
On finding himself in this predicament
Capt. Haines determined on flight. He
took small boat and went to Corn Island,
where he hoped to find some vessel to
convey him to Jamaica, where he could
take ship for Boston. Prior to this all
vessels had been notified not to receive
the Captain under penalty of a fine, or
Imprisonment. The matter has been
brought to the knowledge of
President Cerevera, at Panama, and
the agent of the General Government,
on the isthmus. Mr.. Rice, the United
States Consul at Aspinwall, has moved
actively in the matter, and forwarded full
particulars to the Department of State at
Washington. The question is a most seri-
GUS one, and promises to occasion much
correspondence. To add to the trouble
Mr.. GOOdsell, the United States Consul
General at San Andres, died whilst these
high-handed proceedings were in pro-
gress, thus leaving Captain Haines en-
tlrely without protection. Mr.. Rice has
since appointed an agent who will obtain
further evidence for transmission to the
United States and aid in decision of the
affair.

Stronger than Horses.

Mervine Thompson, the champion Cana
dian wrestler, gave an outdoor exhibition
of his great strength last evening. He said
that he would pull against any team of
horses in the city or county, and would
give 800 to the owner of the team if the
horses succeeded in pulling him from a
ladder. Thompson quickly removed his
coat, vest and hat. A harness resembling
pair of shoulder braces, only a great
deal stronger, was thrown over his shoul-
ders and around his waist, with two large
straps left dangling from the small of his
back. Then lying face downward upon
the ladder. fixed in horizontal position,
securely lashed to a telegraph pole, he
grasped round of the ladder with both
hands and placee his feet firmly against
another fiat round at the foot
of the ladder. A team was hitched
to these straps, and then commenced
the tug of war. The large pair of horses
started, strained and tugged. But in
vain. The man could not be pulled from
his position. Aftor making three or four
futile attempts, this team was removed
and heavy pair of sOrrels attached to
the man. They, like their predecessors,
could make no impression, and the man
of muscle did not exhibit the faintest
sign of weakening. Finally one of the
employees of Mr.. Webster took the animals
by the head, and they again exerted their
well-trained muscle. This time the large
eyener to which the whiffletrees were at
tached snapped in twain like a pipe-stem.
This settled the contest. The crowd in
attendance were we'll satisfied that the
boast of the stranger had been made good, q,
and cheered him heartily.

A Singular Seizure.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. I6.-The facts OF
a singular seizure have just been made
public. Commodore Russell, under orders
from the Navy Department, seized the
monitor Monadnock, which was being
constructed at Villijo, and removed it to
the navy yard. The Navy Department
made contracts for the construction of the
vessel with Phineas Burgess, OF New
York. Each contract was for separate
work. The last contract, $4,000, was
for completion and equipment for one
years service. Secretary Thompson an
nulled this and it was not renewed by his
successor. Under the second contract
Burgess holds approved claims against
the government for $2l2, 200. His repre-
sentatives were holding the ship against
these claims and with the expectation
that they would be allowed to file final
account, when the vessel was seized and
carried off. No reason has been assigned
for the seizure.

Settled by Arbitration.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The union prin-
ters in the evening newspaper of1ces
struck to-day for an increase from 80 to 40
cents per 1000 ems. The Post and Mail

union men left. The papers, however,
will be published as usual. The Graphic
refused to allow the increase, and all
hands resumed work. The other evening
papers gave union prices.
The EUeRiRg Post SAYS of the strike of
its cOmpOsitOrs- s.The weekly earnings
of our cOmpOsitors under the present rates
average as high as those of the weekly
Offices, even since the recent advance in
those establishments; that, in short, there
Is nothing IN the state of the market to
justify the strike. 1t is simply an at
tempt to force wages up by a combina-
ton In one city and in one particular
branch of business. We have further to
add that we are prepared to assure per-
manent employment to competent hands,
at our present rates, and expect in very
few days to have all that we need"

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The Manchester
Guardians commercial article says that

Liverpool of strong market there makes
sellers less uneasy, but buyers are not
eager, and the business transacted has

the colored murderer of Josiah Harding,
was hanged to-day at 1:14 O'Clock. He
made confession during the morning to
Rev. Benz. Isor, his religious adviser. The

ate his dinner about II O'Clock with great
relish. He was led into the Jail yard

was painless.

LrNooLNs BODY NOT MOVED.
Denial of the Story that the Coffin's
Resting Place is a Secret.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 16.-A sensa-
tional dispatch from this city in relation
to Abraham Lincoln's body, appears in
Chicago paper of this date. Its state
ments are some Of them positively untrue,
and many Of them unauthorized by any
one having a knowledge of the facts. The
whole article is calculated to mislead the
people into believing that the body of Lin
coin has been removed from the mas
siye structure in which they supposed
it to be resting. The State ReqiSter, of
this city, some time ago, in response to
the question, 'EWhere are the remains of
Mr.. Lincoln deposited at present, and are
they turning to stoneT published the fol-
lowing answer over the signature of j. C..
Power, custodian of the monument:
"A few days previous to the dedication of
the monument, on Dec. 10, 1874 the body of
Mr.. Lincoln was taken from an iron coffin,
put in lead one and soldered perfectly arr
tight, and then put into a wooden one made
ofnarroW strips of red CEDAR and all put in
the marble sarcophagus in the catacomb of
the monument. When the would-be robbers
visited it on the evening of Nov, Z 1876 thev
removed the lid and end pieces of the sarco-
phagus, next the door, and drew
the wood and lead collins, with the
by officers of the United States secret service
who attempted to capture them, but were
unsuccessful. Everything remained as the
thieves left it until the afternoon of the sec
ond day, when every screw in the wooden
coffin was examined The creases in Them
one and all, were found to be fiiod
with rEst, proving beyond doubt that
neither the wooden nor lead collins
had been opened. All was then pushed back
into the sarcophagus, and 1t was cemented
perfectly tight, as it had been before the visit
of the thieves. The remains have never been
removed from the monument from that to the
present time, and all is absolutely safe AS
to indications of petrification, the idea of any
substance in an air-tight, leaden inclosure
turning to stone, no matter where it may be
placed, is too absurd for moments serious
thought This statement ought to settle all
doubts as to Lincolns body resting in the
tomb prepared for it by the people and ma
tiOn."
An Associated Press reporter called on
MIR. Powers to ask if he had any reply to
make to the dispatch referred to above.
He said that his card embraced all the
facts as the public was entitled to know
them, and that he had only these words to
add:
mo part of the remains of Abraham Lin
coin has been seen by mortal eye since they
were soldered up in lead coffin on October
., 1874, two years before the attempt of the
thieves to steal the body. As L have already
SAID, they are absolutely safe, just as they
were placed in the coffin MANY wears apO -
