THE PANAMA CANAL.
A New Company Proposed-Bou
langer's Interest in the Ditch.

"A New Company PrOpOsed-BOu-
langer's Interest in the Ditch.
PARIS, Jan. 6.-The Petit Journal
states that meeting of Panama canal
bondholders have addressed a letter to
NJ. Gle Lesseps, offering him the chair
manShip of new canal company to be
formed by shareholders in the present
company. The Journal says the new
company will have a capital of several
million francs and will take over the
concern from the old Panama company
Gen. Boulanger, in addressing depu-
tatioD of Panama bendholders, which
waited upon him to-day, said: "You
may rest assured of my support. l do not
desire to enter on the discussion of bourse
questions, but know that in regard to
the Panama enterprise, the government
and chambers morally entered into en-
gagements which they have not full
filed" Thereupon the general SUBJ
scribed for twenty-five additional shares
of the canal stock. The debate in the
American senate Oh the Panama canal
excites ill-wlll here. A friend of M.
De Lesseps declares that when De
Lesseps, in 1877, asked the American
minister, Gen. Noyes, for an explicit
statement of the views of the American
government, Gen. Noyes replied that,
while he thought that Americans viewed
the project with suspicion, he was un-
able to obtain an official statement from
the government.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-The Japan
Herald received here by the steamer
City of Pekin to-day, has advlces from
Seoul under date of Dec. 6. to the effect
that the Chinese government has sub
mitted three demands to the Corean
government and threatens that if the
latter shows any disposition to object
to them, measures will be taken to force
the Coreans to acquiesce. The demands
were that the king be deposed and the
crown prince be elected instead, with
his father as regent; that Corea shall
declare herself to all treaty powers to
be dependent of China, and that
Chinese officers be placed at Fusiu.
Juensan and Jenchuan to exercise dip
lomatic functions. The Corean premier
memOrialized the king demonstrating
against such course. at the same time
offering his resignation. Judge Denny,
the kings confidential adviser, also
wrote letter to the king in which he
stated that on the day when China
attains her objects as regards Corea,
both nations will have been brought
under the rule of other powers.

WANT AN EXTRA SESSION.
Iowa Jobbers Seeking Railroad
Legislation.

SpeClaJ 10 tn6 GlOUe.
DEs MONIES, Jan. CIV. II. Torbert,
of Dubuque, president of the Iowa job
bers' association. has written the gov
ernor as to the advisability of calling a
meeting of the executive committee, or,
if necessary, a meeting of the members
of the aSSOciation,;to devise some means
aud take some action toward suppress
ing the alleged violations and oppres-
sive rates of the Iowa railroads. This
call for meeting of the jobbers has
been construed by some. who have been
given information concerning the pro-
posed meeting, that it was forerunner
of an extra session of the legislature.
The governor gave it as his opinion
yesterday, as also did Secretary Aims
worth, of the railroad commission, that
a meeting of the Iowa jobbers would
have no tendency toward calling an extra
session of the legislature. 1t has been
proposed by Mr.. Torbert that the meet
ing be called for the 10th Of January,
though those closely connected with
questions at issue between the railroads
and the commissioners so far as the
state officials are concerned appear to
make light of the possibility of an extra
session of the legislature. There is
flavor about the correspondence being
carried ON which leads to the belief that
there would hardly be any other rem
edy for them and the commissioners
than to urge the necessity of an extra
session. Then also the decision of
Judge Brewer in the case recently tried
at st. Paul may have some bearing on
the subject. Whichever way it may be
decided, one notable feature of the sit
uation in Iowa is the disposition of the
jobbers of Sioux City to Withdraw from
this movement for an extra session,
This division in the ranks of the jobhers
is likely to become wider and to have
great influence in deterring the gov
ernor from convening the legislature.

SANGUINARY SAMOA,
Another Collision of Soldiers Near
Apia.


BERLIN, Jan. 6.-Official advices from
Apia confirm yesterdays announce
ment of an encounter between Mataa-
fa's followers and the Germans. On
Dec IS the German gunboat Adler, with
the German consul on board, proceeded
to Lanly, Mataafa's chief position, with
the intention of negotiation for the dis
arming of the insurgents in conse-
quence of the destruction of German
property and insults to German sailors.
A party of men was landed, and while
on their way to the Vailele plantation
they were suddenly attacked by party
of rebels. led by an American named
Klein. The Olga, Adler and Eber
landed more men, who succeeded
in repelling the natives and de-
stroying some of their villages. Lieut..
Sieger and fifteen men were killed, and
Lieuts. Spengler and Burchard and
thirty-siX men were wounded. The lat
ter are doing well. Other accounts state
that the Germans retired to Vailele and
held it against the greatest odds until
reinforced. Mataafa's loss was ten
killed and thirty wounded. The Ger
mans bombarded Vailele, Letoga, Lanly,
Mataafaga and Mataafas. Mataafa now
holds a strongly entrenched position
near Apia, where great excitement pre-
walls. The European women and chill
dren have been placed on board the
men-of-war. Business is at a standstill.
Expecting further German action Mat
aafa has obtained supply of ammuni-
tion. He declares himself ready to APP
pear before the commanders of the
British and American men-of,war.

STABBED IN THE NECK.
A Sensational Cutting ARRAY This
Morning.

A rather sensational and mysterious
stabbing affray took place on Payne av-
enue early this morning, in which John
Quinan,an employe of the Northwestern
Fuel company residing at De Soto and
jerks streets, was seriously wounded.
1t was shortly after IL o'clock when a
party, of which Quinan and Ed Kenny
were members, left the saloon at De
catur and Bedford streets to go home,
but on their way they met party of ac-
quaintances with whom all stopped
to talk but Quinan, he continuing
on his way. After a few moments con-
versation Kenny followed, and when
about five blocks distant flom the sa-
loon he stumbled across the PROSTATE
body of Quinan, who was lying upon the
sidewalk, on Payne avenue, apparently
in an unconscious condition. Officer
Gebhardt was summoned, the patrol
wagon called and the wounded man re-
moved to the Margaret street police
station, where he was attended by DR..
Cogswell. He was found to be seriously
cut on the cords of the neck, though the
wound is not necessarily fatal
one. He was taken to the city hospital
still unconscious, but the physicians
considered his inability to speak in a
great part due to the liquor drank at the
saloon. His assailant is believed to
have been a man who has long held a
grudge against him, and for whom the
police are looking. The name of his
supposed assailant was carefully con-
cealed by the police.

ASHLAND, Wis, Jan. Z, 4 a. NJ
Maurice E. Gaffney, whose term of
Office as clerk of the county of Ashland
expires at noon to-day, shot
himself through the brain at
1880 o'clock this morning at his resi-
dence. Gaffney's wife was aroused by
the shots and arose in time to see
her husband fall down the stairway
dead. He was short in his accounts about
$4,000, and the board of supervisors
served an order upon him to turn over
the money at o'clock to-day. Gaffney
did not have the funds to make
up his defalcation and worried over
this fact, together with severe
illness, he became respondent.
Gaffney was two years ago
elected clerk by the largest majority OF
any man on the Democratic ticket.
He was very popular and
the news of his suicide was
scarcely given credence. His wife is
nearly crazed with grief ana his friends
are appalled,.

Bostonians Give Their Pride a
Thrilling Send OFF.

Boston, Jan. 6.-John L. Sullivan
started for Toronto at 8 o'clock this
afternoon. When his carriage reached
the depot the crowd cheered the cham
pion, who acknowledged the compli-
ment by lifting his hat. When he
started to enter the depot the crowd
gathered around him. and he had con-
siderable difficulty in reaching the car.
The champion said that he was confident
he was going on wild-goose chase.
''They will want everything" he con-
tinued, ".and we don't propose to give it
to them.'' Jack Barnett and Dan
Murphy accompanied him to Toronto.
AS the train rolled out Sullivan came
out on. the platform. and his appear
ance was the signal for a prolonged
cheer from the crowd.

A REVERSE FOR LEG1T1ME.
The Haytian Rebels Gain a Great
Victory.

PORT AU PRINCE, Dec. 23.-Since the
release of the Haytian Republic three
days ago to the United States steamers
Galena and Yantlc, an officer and boats
crew, regularly relieved, have been
constantly kept aboard of the Haytian
Republic, and that ship kept constantly
under the shotted guns of the two
United States war vessels. She will be
accepted tomorrow, as it is expected
that her condition will be the same as
when she was captured, all parts of her
machinery having been delivered. The
Haytian gunboat Grand River left last
night late, flying the French flag, for
Mole st. Nicholas, now in the hands of
HyppOliteS, to cable to Martinique for the
French fleet toprotect Port-au-Prince.
1t is understood that Legitime's general
commanding his main army was de-
feated at Hinche, ten miles from the
San Domingo frontier, and arrived last
night with report of the defeat. He
is now at the French legation under the
protection of the French flag, as the
rage of the people is feared when they
shall have learned of the defeat, and it
is believed that the French minister
will Immediately dispatch request for
the French men-Of-war. A jubilation
mass was held this morning at st.
Joseph's cathedral for the election of
Legitime to the presidency. Legitime
and his ministers and suite called
yesterday on Admiral Luce, returning
his official visit of the previous day.
Several cases of yellow fever exist ON
the ships in the harbor and in the city
itself. Every precaution possible in
the present state of affairs is being
taken, and the health of the crews of
the Galena and Yantic remains excel
lent. The Haytian Republic is being
thoroughly fumigated, as no attention
had been paid to her since the fatal case
of yellow fever that occurred some two
months ago. The Yantic leaves for
Santiago De Cuba to-day. at noon. to
send dispatches to the United States
government regarding the situation and
to coal. The Atlas steamer has not vet
arrived with crew for the Haytian Re-
public. When they arrive that ship
will be steamed or towed to Kingston,
Jamaca, where they will coal and a
ballast cargo will be taken for New
York and Boston.

DEFEAT FOR BISMARCK.
Liberals to Consider the Release
of GeffCken.

BERLIN, Jan. 6. = The unexpected
ending of the Geffcken affair puts even
the Morier dispute in the shade. The
government press preserves an awk-
ward silence, the Norddeutsche Zeitung
only noticing the release of Prof.
Geffcken in corner of the local news.
But the Konische Zeitung returns to
the charge, declaring that the purpose
of Prince Bismarck's report to the en-
peror has been attained by the discov-
cry of the unworthy intrigues of those
who desired to dethrone the chancellor,
and for which Getfcken allowed himself
to be used. The Liberal newspapers
hail the result as great event, consid-
ering it moral defeat for Bismarck.
They highly praise the independence of
the German judges. The mass of the
people appear to disapprove of the gov
ernment's tactics in the Geffcken affair.
HAMBURG, Jan. 6.-Prof. Geffcken
received many congratulatory visits
to-day. He goes to the Riviera in the

ESCAPES MIRACULOUS.s
An Awful Wreck in Mississippi,
But Nobody Killed.

BROOK HAVEN, Miss, Jan. Ga
south-bound passenger train on the
Illinois Central railway was wrecked at
6:35 p. m. at Cedar Hill swith, two miles
south of this place. The train was run
ming thirty miles an hour and ran
into an open swith, telescoped
boX-car loaded with lumber,
and completely wrecked the en-
gine. The baggage, mail, smoker.
ladies' car and sleeper we're all derailed,
the smoker being turned bottom up.
The mail, baggage and ladies' cars
were thrown at right angles across the
track. Engineer Jarvis and a negro
firemen were badly shaken up and
somewhat bruised, and one OF two pas
sengers were slightly scratched. A pas
senger describes the wreck as the worst
he ever saw, and says the fact that no
one was killed is simply miraculous.
The wreckage will not be cleared be-
fore morning, and all trains will be de-
layed.
