A rose-coored report of the years work on
the Panama Canal was read in Paris yesterday
at n meeting at which NJ. de Lesseps presided.
Only one stakeholder had the assurance to
question the accuracy of the figures read off,
and to demand an inquiry. He was promptly
suppressed This is the way tie matter will be
managed until the death of de Lesseps, so
strong is the Frenchmans faith in the distin
guished engineers word. After his death,
however. Frenchmen will learn the truth about
this big ditch.
By painful coincidence Mr.. E. j. Abrahams
and two Deputy United States Marshals met in
the Fifth Avenue Theatre yesterday, and as a
result, the theatrical man who produced The
Mkado" after Judge Wheeler said not, passed
last night in the Jail which also yawns for
Rosenfeld and one or two others in the same
line. 1t is very sad that these managers should

their fate helps in the slightest degree toward
the establishment of just international copy
right law, they will not have suffered in vain.
The soop-Of-war Omaha, which the present
Administration has been examining carefully
for some months to see if there are not some
traces of fraud about her. sails to-day for China.
A good many persons of patriotic and rev.
erental turn of mind think that since the
Omaha was detained so long for no reason, it
would do no harm to detain her little while
longer for a good reason--tO take part in the

China would certainly not suffer materially
by slight modification in the Omaha's orders.
An excellent suggestion was made at the cit
izens' meeting held to raise money for the
Grant monument in effect that the time in which
the subscription lists would be open should be
limited. This would doubtless add to the zeal
and enthusiasm with which the money will be
offered. good start WIS obtained yesterday,
over $1,000 being raised after midday. The
TRIBUNE will heartily cooperate with other
agencies in receiving subscriptions to the fund
and seeing that they are promptly forwarded
to the treasurer.
That swift steam yacht, the Stiletto, is not to
hold without dispute the honors of the recent
regatta of the American Yacht Club. Mr.. Jay
Gould, owner of the Atalanta, protests that the
Stiletto did not follow exactly the course pre-
scribed for the race; that if she had, the
Atalanta would have won. The owner of the
Stiletto denies the charge but as he is blind
his word will have to be SUI ported with evil
dence. 1t is case of IL did /" ant @you didn't"
which yachtsmen always dislike to have raised,
but which will have to be settled before the
owners of the ATLANTA and her rival can be
quite happy.
The report by cable that the cholera has
srossed the Pyrenees and is now in Southern
France only states what probably occurred
Dome time ago. The authorities of European
6itics invariably conceal the existence OF any
dread disease among them until concealment
y no longer possible; so it Is safe to infer that
ehOlera has existed in the South of France for
noeks. Indeed. Captain Mason, United States
