PANAMA, May 24.-The unfortunate
consequences of the canal smash are be-
coming more marked every day, and the
deplorable condition of affairs has but one
outlet, and that by the emigration COM
missioner sent by the jamaican govern
ment. He has already sent away 1000 people
and issued tickets for 5000 more. These
will leave by the earliest steamers. The
people are congregated at the different
depOts with their tickets in their hands
but without food and shelter and the trop-
ical wet season Is in its full energy. After
all the distressed foreigners shall have
been removed, there will still be much suf-
fering and want here, which cannot be
even ameliorAted until the resumption of
work in January next shall put money
in circulation.
When the City of Rara leaves Colon there
will be no steamer in port, q circumstance
almost unparalleled in the history of the
port since II was first visited by steamers,
and became known by the name of Aspin-
wall. The ChiliAn government, il is re-
ported, has determined to order for imme-
diate delivery ten Krupp guns for the de-
fense of the coast. A voluntary public
subscription is being raised in Salvador TO
pay OF the old claims of the British bond
holders, which have long been unheeded.

CHATTANOOGA, May A-In the South
ern Presbyterian general assembly to-day
several members who voted against the
action of the assembly in adopting the Co
operation report filed written dissent,
stating the assembly should have first re-
ferred the matter to Presbyteries for an ex-
preston of opinion. The report of the
standing committee on foreign missions,
while approving cooperation in foreign
fields, discOurages every union of mission
aries or churches where ''the distinctive
features of our government are surrended,
and those entering into such unions will no
longer be considered our missionaries" :"
This report was referred 20 a special COM
mittee to report at the next assembly. A
telegram was received from the northern
assembly at New York, giving their action
on the cooperation matter. The telegram
was referred to a special committee.
This committee reported THIS evening the
following answer to the northern general
assembly: I'VE concur in the action of
your assembly, as conveyed in your tele-
gram" This report was adopted, those
who opposed the joint report last night
being excused from voting.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-E. l.. Baker,
United States consul at Buenos Ayres, in a
report 10 the department of state, says the
cattle industry Of the Argentine Republic
is in such languishing condition a law
has been passed Offering guarantee of
per cent. for ten years on the capital en-
ployed in the business of exporting fresh
or preserved beef. The report says it is
understood several establishments are pre-
pairing to take advantage of the guarantee
and are going into business on large
scale, with a special steamer fitted up for
traffic and warehouses in England and
France. Great things are expected from
this law by the ArgeDtiheS, but Consul
Elker says he does not believe it will hurt
the United States beef shippers much, un-
I'll new methods are adopted for the pre-
paratiOn of beef for expectation. The

lie is estimated at $4,000, 900 and horned
