largely of English workmen, who came over
here at the beginning of the season and pre-
vented the Brotherhood from getting better

the matter of strike assessment recon
niended the following which was sdopted:

have lately heard OF an old minister who
had retired from active service, but who
still retained his seat in his former pulpit
while candidates were preaching there. He
always offered the closing prayer, and after
asking the Lord to bless his servant who had
broken the bread of lie TO bis people that
day, was accustomed to add. land may be
shine as a star OF the first magnitude forever
and ever" But it happened one Sunday that
a very dull and ordinary preacher occupied
the pulpit, and the good old minister was
unutterably bored. When it was time for
the prayer be offered the usual petition that
the Lord would bless his servant who had ad-
dressed the people that day, and-here be
paused. His faith was not strong enough to
allow him to conclude the sentence in the
customary way; so the conscientious old man
added firmly, And nay he shine as star Of
considerable magnitude forever and ever!n-

to hold the reception in the governors recep-

occupied for that purpose. The governor
said he had not thought of the matter, but

The committee waited until noon yesUer-
day and called again, and found that the
governor had left the city and would not re-
turn until this evening 1t was then con-
cluded to hold the reception at the halt and
arrangements have been made accordingly.

He urged them to petition the government
to come to the assistance of the company.
At meeting of the cabinet yesterday two
schemes in connection with the Panama
canal were discussed One of the schemes is
to defer the payment of interest on the bonds
until the canal is in working ORDER and to
put the present company in liquidation and
form new company whose shareholders shall
have priority. By the other scheme it is
also proposed to defer the payment of inter

present company is TO continue TO exist and
be authorized to grant new company, at a
fixed price, the concessions necessary to COM

only treated with the presen. company it is
uncertain whether it would agree to the sub
