The movement, 1t is asserted, had

Paris Dec. 21.-At a meeting of the

who recently returned here from the

tor of works, resigned their Offices
The report presented at the general
meeting of the shareholders of the
Panama Canal Company here this aft
ernoon, reviews the negotiations for
the sale of the canal property to the
United States. and says:
The decision of the Isthmian Com
mission was evidently due to a mis-
understanding, which must be dissi-
pated. We shall ask you to give us
full powers to negotiate with the
government of the United States,
under the reserve of submitting
for your approval the figure upon
which the representatives of the
American government agreed, and the
mandatory to whom we shall entrust
the continuance of the negotiations.
Our negotiator will be instructed to
notify the American government that
we are prepared to set aside the valu-
ations which have been considered as
the price asked and which have been
judged unacceptable, and we offer to
take as basis and point of departure
of the discussion we solicit and which
we believe will not be refused, the fig
ures and declarations contained in the
conclusions of the isthmian commits
sion s report. We shall, however give
our mandatory power to close the dis
cussion by proposing a fixed price We
hope this simple, categorical offer will
exercise favorable influence upon the
future negotiations.
I'VE regret that M. Hutin and M.

Mr.. Rayner, without considering the

THE JOHN BROWN PAPERS.
Letters to and From the Raiders
Companions to Re Published by
RickmOnd Papers.


Richmond, Va, Dec. 21.-The Rich
mond papers will tomorrow print
what are known as recently discovered
John Brown papers," which were
found in lot of rubbish in the state
library. 1t cannot be said that they
throw any additional light on the John
Brown raid into Virginia, which re-
suited in his arrest and execution.
There is not a scratch of John Browns
pen among them. They are of two
classes, letters to Brown and his fell
low prisoners, and letters from the
prisoners to persons throughout the
country. The prisoners, 1t is supposed,
never saw the letters sent to them,
and the letters written by them were
not mailed. Those to Brown and his
associates are for the most part sign
ed with initials only, and no promf-
nent persons can be identified with
them. They are largely from corre-
spondents in New England, Ohio and
Indiana. Two letters to Brown from
his sister, Elizabeth, are both poetic
and pathetic, and 1t is evident she
had no conception of the fate that
was in store from him. From marks
on all, 1t is shown that they were in
spected by Andrew Hunter, of the
prosecution, or Gov. Wise. What
value there is in the letters to
the prisoners, II any, lies. in
their showing the widespread sympa-
thy through the North with John
Browns desperate venture. The letters
from the prisoners tell nothing. Search
is now being made for a carpetbag OF
Browns, said to be hidden In the roof
of the capitol building and to contain
his diary and some of mis- documents.
Many, however, doubt the existence of
such an historical treasure trove."
Several letters in the upturned batch
and written from the North, express
pleasure that Brown had been captur-
ed. 1t is not at all certain that some
OF the letters have not been published
before. In not few cases the letters
to Brown and his band are written In
red ink
