he was was the centre Mr.. O'Brien was able
to speak with vigor In Dublin, this was a
mere squirt and it had since been followed
by. severe prostration necessitating Mr..
O'Brien's confinement to bed during Satur-

The Panama Ditch.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Times's cores
pondent at Paris telegraphs portion Of the
report made by NJ. Rosseau, who was sent
to Panama in 1886 by M. de Freycinet in be-
half of the French government. which. the
correspondent alleges, the government has
heretofore kept secret.
The report saws the Panama canal enter
prise is feasible. but it is problematlcal
whether the work will be finished unless the
project is simplifed. In any case the work
has reached such point that it ought not to
be abandoned, and, therefore, France
rather than obstructing. ought to assist as
far as possible in its completion. Nj. Rous-
seau says, however, that before deciding to
assent to loan the government should re
quire guarantees that the project Will be
simplited.
The Times's correspondent contends that
M. de Lesseps has shown distinct willing
ness to adopt the necessary modification and
has slackened the work on the canal during
the last fifteen months with that very OBJ
ject. In view of this the correspondent says
he fails to understand Premier Tirard's 0p-
position to the canal.
