THE PANAMA CANAL.
American Capitalists to Complete Z
Great Interoceapic Waterway.


NEW YORK, December 7th.-A syndicate
of American capitalists has been formed in
this city to complete the Panama Canal.
They have arranged to put up S75 000, goo,
and expect to finish the work within two
years. The syndicate was formed through
the exertions OF James D. Leary, famous
for his exploits with the monster raft of
logs launched IN Nova Scotia. Other mem
bers of the syndicate are Morton, Bliss &
Co., Eugene Kelly, and the men who are
already interested in the American Dredg-
ing Company. The latter company has a
$l7 ,000 600 contract for dredging the Colon
end of the canal, and has performed
S12 OO0 600 worth of work on the contract
The President of that company is H. B.
Slavin. The new syndicate has made its
proposition to the Panama Canal Com
pany, and it has been accepted The
matter will come up for ratification in
Paris on December 18th, where it is ex-
pected the contract will be finally COM
pleted. The French Government has in
formally approved the agreement.
The American Dredging Company, which
has yet 5000 900 of work to do, was
formed nearly six years ago by II. B. and
NJ. A. Slaven of San Francisco, who had
used their big Atlas dredger in deepening
the Sacramento river. Its capital is 50 ,0OO,-
GOO, and it is said TO have declared 100 per
cent dividends within two years. The
Slaven Bros. are generally credited in we'll
informed circles with having made about
100000 on their investment. Since the
death of NJ. A. Slayen, over year ago, H.
B. Slaven has represented the Slaven inter-
est 1t is the principal members of the
American Dredging Company, who form
the present syndicate which Leary repre-
sents, and for which he proposes to COM
plete the great inter oceanic waterway.

THE NAVY IN ACTION.
Three War Vessels Ordered to Proceed
to Hayti.

WASHINGTON, December 7th-Secretary
OF the Navy Whitney to-day issued orders
directing that the United States steamers
Galena, Richmond and Yantic, now at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, be made ready for
sea at once. Rear Admiral Ghersrdi will
command the squadron and as soon as
ready will proceed to Hayti. He will be
instructed to take no part in the troubles
going on there between the followers of
General Legitime and those from the north
,ern sections of that island, but will content
himself with seeing that American inter
ests are protected and that no ports are
blockaded to American vessels.
Secretary Whitney does not think our
commercial interests there should be af-
fected by newspaper blockade of these
ports. He declined, however, to state
whether the release of the vessel Haytian
Republic had been demanded by the State
Department or whether Admiral Gherardi
would receive instructions to enforce such
demand.
At the State Department no information
could be gathered on the subject, the off,
~cials declining to give any news. They
aver that such news is confidential. The
general impression is that 3 demand for
the release of the Haytian Republic has
been made and the vessels go there to en-
force the demand if necessary.
ANOTHER VESSEL ADDED.
WASHINGTON, December 7th.-Late this
afternoon orders were issued tothe Norfolk
Navy Yard to prepare the United States
steamer Ossipee for sea at once. She is to
Join the other vessels under Rear Admiral
Gherardi at Hsyti. 1t was also ascertained
definitely that the Government had de-
manded the release of the vessel Haytian

WANTS TO BE A GRANGER
a Michigan Senator's Dreams of BucoIi,
Happiness.

WASHINGTON, December 7th. Senator
Palmer of Michigan denies that he will be
member of Harrison's Cabinet. In con-
versation with a Star reporter to-day he
said: II wouldn't take Cabinet position
under any circumstances. | wouldn't
have it if 1t carried with it salary
of $50 600 a year, with nothing to do.
| am tired of official life, and want
rest. l think l will devote myself

am tickled at the idea of being a horny
handed toiler of the soil. Don't laugh
Wouldn't look well in brown blouse and
blue oYeralls, with white patches in con-
spicuous places And then, think how
nice it will be in the warm summer
weather-when the fresh breezes blow
through the green forests of Michigan-to
sniff in delicious odor of new-mown hay,
while the ear delights itself with the har-
monious buzzes of the bees as they wander
knee-deep in clover and gather il the crude
honey which will fetch at least nine cents
per pound at the store. Then there is an
other sound that stirs up the farmers tym-
panum-the dinner horn. What mem
ories of corned beef, and salt pork, and
cabbage and-beans stir me up when hear

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
Sherman Explains His Position on the
Electoral Count Law.

WASHINGTON, December 7th.-Senator
Sherman, in speaking to-day of the report
OF the result of the vote for Presidential
Electors in the several States, transmitted
by the Secretary of State to the Senate yes
terday, under the terms of the law of 1887,
said his objection to receiving the report
was based on his conviction OF the useless
ness of the proceeding. If it was not IN
constitutional, it was Unconstitutional.
He said he had opposed the bill all the way
through on this ground. If it was intended
to be an expression of power by the Senate
to control, in any way, the right of State
to declare the result of vote in its juris-
diction, it was clearly unconstitutional. If
it were merely to have the result published
or declared, it was extra constitutional, in
that the same thing was otherwise provided
for. 1t was on this ground that he desired
the report referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, in order that it
might there be decided how 70 dispose of

Senator Stanford Comforting with San

SAN DIEGO. Decem ber 7th.-Senator Le-
land Stanford and wife arrived last evening
in their special car, where they spent the
night. At o'clock this morning a COM
mlttee from the Chamber of Commerce
called upon the Senator and laid before
him the measures requiring national legs-
lauon. The most important was an ap-
preparation necessary TO improve the har-
Dor. Senator Stanford said he considered
the demand very moderate and promised
to use his best efforts to secure it. He also
said that he intended to do as much for San
Diego as for San Pedro.
The party then drove in carriages to the
Chamber of Commerce, where another
committee of members escorted the guests
about to look at the exhibits. Mrs. Stan
ford exclaimed in surprise at the variety
and perfection of the different displays of

The Senator talked informally to all the

with the hearty reception he received. 81

The New Labor Organization In Opposi-
tfon to the knights.

CHICAGO, December 7th.-The Times to-
day publishes the text of an address issued
by Thomas B. Barry, outlining the aims
and purposes of the new organization which
he proposes TO form, and which is to be
known as the Brotherhood of United La
Dor. In the address Barry says he is not
advocating the formation of this new order
for the purpose of fighting the Knights of
Labor or to crafty his personal ambition,
but to establish honesty in, and place the
labor movement on a basis which will
make it forever almost impossible for
cliques and rings TO be formed to destroy
in months the labor of years.
This organization, it is stated, will be es-
tablished on decentraliZed basis. 1t will
leave to the trades or central branches COM
plete jurisdiction and control over their
own affairs. If disputes or controversies
arise between the members and their en-
ployers, they will be settled by those most
conversant with the trouble, not by those
who know nothing about the cause of COM
plant. The order will maintain friendly
relations will all legitimate organizations of
labor.
1t wlll,n says the address, "draw the
line closely on scabs and scabism. l will
urge study of cooperation and the means
OF bringing it into practice, and will insist
upon members giving fair manufacturers
the preference when purchasing the neces-
saries of life. 1t will pursue progressive
educational policy
The cardinal principles Of the Brother
hood will be land, currency and transport
alton reform. First-The right of man to
the use of the earth second, the taking
from usurers and Shylocks the right to con-
troll our currency third, the Governmental
ownership Of the means of Transporting
persons and freight and the taking of these
engines of human happiness out of the
hands of stock gamblers and spectators,
and to operate them for the benefit of the
producer and consumer. While seeking
settlement of these questions, the order
will labor for ameliorative measures, such
as reduction of hours of labor to eight per
day, the prohibition of child labor the aboli-
ton of the convict contract system on ma
tional, State and municipal works, the pro-
hibition of foreign labor under contract, the
publication of politics through the adop-
ton of the Australian system of voting,
etc.
All the details of the plan of organ.za-
ton have not yet been decided on, but il
will be more of federation than acompact
national body like the knights of Labor.
In it there will be no money at the disposal
of the general or federal officers, for Barry
claims that the accumulation of large sums
of money at one central point, as in the
old order, is one of the greatest dangers to
labor organizations.

HARRIsoN's CABINET.
Eastern Sentiment In Favor of Pacific
Coast REPRESENTATION.

coast representation.
PHILADELPHIA, December 7th.-The Led
ger has Washington special indorsing the
claim of the Pacific coast to a Cabinet posi-
ton. 1t says: California Oregon and Ne
vada have been at least loyal to the Repub-
lican party, if not steadfast in their adher-
ence to it. Their material interests are
large, diversified and peculiar, and in some
respects may be said to be somewhat in
conflict with the interests of States east of
the Ohio river. The great distance be-
tween the two oceans precludes that init
macy so essential to close personal acquaint-
ance among people, and without which
there can be little of that warm feeling of
relationship that prevails among contigu-
GUS States and communities whose inter
ests are homogeneous if not identical.
To place ploper and fitting representa-
tive of the Pacific coast in the Cabinet
would not only strengthen the Republican
party in that section, but would result in
removing many preudices that exist be-
tween the two coast lines, as Cabinet
officer would be able to intelligently and
truthfully present to the Executive and
Congress the real feeling of the people and
the actual interests of that vast country
lying west of the Rocky Mountains. These
views are given as belonging to representa-
tives of the Pacific coast. They are favor
ably entertained by the Ledger'S CORE
Spondeut

WAsHINeToN, December 7th.-The testi-
mony of Thomas Tyrrell before the Aque-
duct Military Court of Inquiry to-day Gre
ated something of a sensation. He worked
in the tunnel as journeyman bricklayer,
and later had been employed for some time
by Emery as a foreman, and later still as
foreman for Palmer & Brennan
In answer to question as to how the
packing was done, witness said it was just
thrown in dry-just stones, and once in a
while a bucketful of plaster was "slob-
bered" over the top. Witness said that
Inspector Lucas was present, and not only
saw the dry-packing thrown in, but
ordered it to be done.
"At one time," said witness, Lucas said
he was not getting enough money out of it,
as he had to divide with his superior
officers"
Witness said he did bad work deliber-
ately when Inspector Lucas was standing
over him and ordered him to do it. He
had seen Lucas watch loads of muck,
which were supposed to be removed from
the tunnel, dumped in as packing and

Come to This Coast,

WASHINGTON, December 7th.-The Ford
committee on the importation of contract

this afternoon, and determined not to visit
San Francisco for the purpose of taking ad-
ditional testimony. Representative Morrow
Of California, one of the members of the
committee, was desirous that tie commit
tee should go to the Pacific slope and in
vestigate the Chinese question, but ii was
decided that this would take too much
time. The committees bill will require
intending immigrants to give notice to the
United States Consular officers of their in
tention to come to this country, and will
require them to secure immigration Ger
tificates from our representatives abroad as
an essential prerequisite to their landing at
any port in the United States. The present
tax of 80 cents on each immigrant will be

WASHINGTON, December 7th.-A. P.

believes to be the absurd decision OF the
late Judge Of the United States Court for
Alaska, private parties have secured
possession and control of the Govern
ment wharf at Sitka and monopo-
lie the coal trade. He says the vessels
fuse to land coal for anybody but the par

Governor asks that the senior naval officer
stationed there be authorized to supply the
