tude of their enterprise, are proceed
ing very quietly and in COLI
Servative manner entirely unlike the
management OF the Panama canal. The
contracts and sub-contracts, with de-
tailed specifications, are being very
carefully and thoroughly prepared. The
recent change of location of the Atlantic
terminus of the canal has solved the
problem of Grey Town harbor. which
will be made one of the best harbOrS on
the coast, and the breakwater for its
protection has already been commenced.
The borings from the big divide cut have
arrived in New York. and determine
exactly the condition of the rock to he
removed. 1t looks now as though the
entire work would probably be divided
into three divisions. The harb0r of
Grey Town and the dredging up to the
first lock will constitute the Atlantic or
eastern division, the locks and divide
cut and the great dam at OchOa and the
balance of the work up 70 the lake
making the central division, and the
district from the lake to the
Pacific constituting the third diviS-
ion. The contract for the Pa
citic division, it is un derStood,
will go TO a strong California syndicate.
The Nicaragua Canal company has
great many applications for contracts
on all divisions and parts of the work,
from responsible parties. A strong Eng
lish syndicate is DESTROYS of taking the
divide cut and the eastern locks. A
dredging contract for the eastern divi-
sion is practically closed. and the
dredges are being built. The health of
the entire party of Americans salts

sibly be done to push the work is done

night drenehed to the skin by
Iain, which was failing heavily, bare
headed, shoes unhUttOnrd, and i'll pit

while going to the grocery last evening
she was seized by two men, hustled into
q covered wagon, which was standing in
an alley,and driven to the house of Mrs.
BrOuthers III the southern part of the
city. Here she was put into the same
room she occupied When she was there
before, and was told to go to bed. She did
not retire, however, but when everything
was still III the house she stole down
stairs, escaped by the back door and
ran through the rain TO the home of
Sphinx. She says one of the persons
who Ut her in the wagon was Charles

for his subject the man who says he can
drink when wants to and quit when he
wants to. He proved the fallacy of such
Il statement by the example of his
past life and earnestly entreated those
who were in the habit of making this
statement to come up and sign the
pledge, and to this appeal tine audience
heartily responded. Capt. Whelan has
excited great deal of interest in his
work, and if the audiences continue to
increase in proportion it will necessitate
an enlargement of the seating capacity
