Gentlemen, the opposition OF RUSSIAN

NKw York, Sept. AFTER q suspension
of nearly five years work is TO be resumed
on the colossal Panama canal project some
time next month. French and American
capitalists have been quietly preparing the
way during the last few months. and now

Of the first necessities was the passage of q

francs, instead OF 9O0. 00o, 600 francs. as es-
timated By the French commissioners.

bonds for 100000 francs. OF this
amount, Xavier Boyard, who represents
the canal company in this country, says
