Just long enough TO ascertain who he was and
what was HIS business, a few minutes altogether.
When he was released, he made complaint about

DE LESSEPS'S SHAKY SCHEME.
DIsCHARGING LABoRERs ON THE CANAL
ABOUT 1000 MEN HAVE BEEN DROPPED IN THE
LAST TWO MoNTHs-THE FRESHET IN
THE CHAGREs RIVER HAS SUB
SIDED

Panama, Dec. &C.. via Galveston.-The work
the Canal continues, although on some sec
tions labor has been reduced. Altogether some
1000 men have been discharged during the past
two months, owing to disputes between the Canal
Company and contractors.
1t is not expected that more worRmen will be
dispensed with. The highest authorities consider
a total suspension of work as improbable Such
a suspension could only be occasioned by the COM
plcte failure of The reorganization scheme now
under consideration in Paris There are now
about 5000 laborers actually engaged the
works. There is foundation for the report
recently circulated that 70 per cent of the men
now in the employ of the company would be
discharged at the end of the year.
The floods on the Isthmus, caused by the over
flow of the Chagres River have subsidized. The
running of trains the Panama Railroad was
resumed Christmas Day.

BROKERS sPOILING FOR A FIGHT.
USING UNKIND LANGUAGE ABOUT WELL
KNOWN MAN.


KNOWN MAN.
At one time yesterday duel seemed imminent
between Joseph A. o'Donohuo and Herman Seilcken
both members Of the Coffee Exchange, the former a
well known and active Tammany politician and can
didatc for Collector Of the Port, Mayor Governor
etc. The day wound up with instructions from Mr.
O'Donohue to his counsel to bring suit for de-
famation of character" against Mr.. sellcken. with
damages put at 100000, and a promise by Mr.
Scflcken give 81 900 to any reputable charitable
institution in this city, If Mr.. o'Donohue would
really bring the suit.
The atmosphere of the Coffee Exchange was sui
phurous because Of article published in The
SUM- to the effect that legislation and litigation were
about to take place to put stop to the wild and
haphazard gambling in coffee that a bill was to be
presented IN the Legislature to take away the charter
Of the Exchange that decision in recent case OF
arbitration upon contracts which resulted in the June
corner was nothing but Bill Tweedsm over again
that President W. II. Crossman allowed an Illegal
vote in the case; that patent cable dispatches from
Rio Jancro and d" washedn sales are plentiful; and
that Mr.. O'Donohue had resigned vice e-president
because he had been nsulted by President CrossmaH
The article was criticised with severity the Ex-
change.
Mr. scilcken was so embittered that he declared
that the man who inspired the article is a liar,
a scoundrel, and blackguard and he would probably
be coward enough not TO father it, Subsequently he
became even more bitter and some Of Mr. ODonohuc s
friends carried the news TO him that Mr. Seilcken
applying unpleasant expressions TO him. Mr
O'Donohue at communicated with his counsel
Mr.. scllclen afterward asked If he had heard
that Mr.. O'Donohuc intended to sue him, and he
smiled and said: II he will do will give 81 900
to any reputable charitable institution in the city"
But this did not lower the curtain upon the scene
and the mOmbers continued to discuss the matter with
much animation. President CrOssman, when asked
for HIS opinion, said ." don't think 1t dignied to
discuss that matter but will say this In my iudg
ment the Objectionable article was inspired by man,
whose name won't mention, who has tried to reach
certain Office and has failed by disappointed man,
full Of pioue, spite. animoSy, and malignant venom.
This mans methods Of retOrt are well known to
every member Of the Coffee Exchange"
Many OF the members expressed the opinion that the
matter would result in dissolution and reorganization
of the Exchange.
