SAYS CORBETT IS A COWARD NICARAGUA CANAL COMMISSION Baport Very Unfavorable to lb Ca nal Company. New York, Nov. 28. A special to the Herald from Washington says a serious blow has been dealt the Nicar agua Canal Company's project for the construction of a waterway across the Isthmus by the report of the Nicaragua canal commission. Inevitable delay and farther and more thorough inves tigation of the entire subject are de clared to be neoeasary before even the engineering feasibility of a canal aero Nicaragua can be decided upon. The Herald correspondent is able to make public the review of the oontents and the text of the conclusions of the report of the Nicaragua canal commission. The report is now lying on the presi ARMENIANS' DANGER THEY ARE NOW THREATENED WITH A FAMINE.

A letter from Martin Julian, manager for Fits simmuns, was received in this city to niuht It is dated Houston, Tel. Julian charges Corbett with cowardice, and savs Juhu Keenan, of New York, is an euomy of Fitislmmona. He said "As rt'gards Fitssimmons crossing the line and going to Hot tfpriogs, will say that it was utterly impossible to safely cross anywhoro. The entire town was uuurdud, and we oould not have crossed without being killed, as such threats were made to us. In con elusion, I will say that I have already claimed both the middle-weight and heavy-weight championships of the world for Fitzsiuimous, who is tbe only champion; that Fitssimmons stands ready to defend both titles against the world, and all oomera, pro viding they be white men, for from 5.000 to 110,000, first come first served. "Should Mr. Stewart fail to drag Corbett out of the hole he has cowardly crawled into, then Fitssimmnus will be only too pleased to fight Maher or any other man living. To further show how willing we aie fur fight, 1 will leave the selection of a referee to tstuart aud Corbett. I will sign ar tides blindfolded. If Corebtt wants to prove he is not a coward, be will ao oept Stuart's offer for a fight near El Paso for a purse of $30,000, which he agrees to divide between the two men should he fail to bring the fight off the dsy selected, without iuterforeuoe of any kind. That ia the fairest proposi tion ever made, aud I do not think Cor bett will ever accept it, because he is too faint-hearted to go up against a msn of Fitssiiiinious' caliber in a fair aud square fight, where orookeduoss and put-up jobs are not tolerated." DUMAS THE YOUNGER. Death of the Novellat and Iramatlet at farla. Paris, Nov. 39. Alexander Dumas is dead. Ho died peacefully at 7:45 o'clock this evening, urroundod by hi family. While hi physician and frieuds had become convinced that his csm was hopeless and death only Question of time, it was not expected the end would come o soon. A bul letin issued at 8 o'clock stated that the slight improvement in the condition of the patieut, which was manifested yes terday, wa found to be maintained to day. Boon after this Duma fell asleep and awoke at 6:30. He feebly uttered few word to those about hi bedside, and then sank back and died. Presideut Faure aud ox-Empress Eu genie had made frequent inquiries re garding the oondition of the distin guished patient since his serious illness was first made known. Alexander Dumas was born in Paris, July 38, 1834. He was a son of Alex auder Davy Dumati Ho began his literary career while a boy of 17, with a book of trivial poems, "Poohos de Jeu nesse." Abandoning the imaginative romance of his father, be applied him self to the study of society, and sought by verisimilitude to make good hi de ficiency in dramatic construction. His work treat mostly of the equivocal aspects of French life. the numerous rumor and prediction which have, from time to time, been published oonoerning it that it will cause great surprise and disappoint ment among those who have heretofore plaoed credence in the rumor which usually stated that "one in the highest authority" laid the commission favored the route proposed by the company, and plaoed the cost of the canal at about $110,000,000. The report point out that it is neither practicable nor advisable to at tempt tbe construction of the Nicara gua canal upon tbe data at present available, and that the undertaking would be fraught with hazzurda too obvloua to disregard. That the necessary knowledge may be had of the physical and topographs oul oondition affecting the construc tion and maintenance of a canal across Nicaragua, upon which to form a final judgment a to tbe feasibility, perma nency and cost, the commission recom mends an appropriation by congress of $350,000 for extensive additional sur vey and examination covering a per iod of eighteen mouths. but there seem good reason for believ ing that the property destroyed, tbe number of live sacrificed and the ter rible outrage committed are fur be yond anything hitherto estimated or described. But tbis i not all. People compe tent to pronounce an opinion upon tbe subject say that, with the coming of winter, there will be many more death from exposure and famine, and euator Wilson Will Try to Secure Two . Additional Terms. Washington, Nov. 38. Senator Wil lson ia going to try and secure some action by the present congress looking to carrying out the provisions of tbe law establishing the circuit oourt of appeals, relative to tbe establishment of two additional term in tbe circuit. It appears that the oourt ha not held any term in any other state than Cal ifornia, and all tbe litigation of the states of Oregon, Washington aud Ida ho, as well as Montana, which i brought in that oourt, compel tbe par ties interested to travel great distance to attend tbe courts. Tbe selection of two judges in California oould not, of course, have anything to do with this, but there are men who think that per haps if the judges were distributed among the other state, it 1 prouaoie that the intention of the law might be carried out relative to term in other states. Senator Wilson will not try to designate where these terms should beheld, though personally be would like one to be in Spokane, but he is in terested in having terms twice a year in the Pacific Northwest, so that men who have litigation before the court are not compelled to travel great dis tances to attend to their business.

John Twi7oHf ordering their Henry Barrow., widely known , the fleets away from Turkish waters, as the sultan earnestly requested, seem to be determined upon keeping them in the vicinity for an indefinite period. A portion of the British Mediterranean fleet, will soon leave Salonica bay for Smyrna, where the power are muster ing their fighting ships. The warships of Grout Britain, expected to rendez vous at Smyrna this week, will consist of nine battleships, four cruisers and With the data at bund, however, the ! four smaller boats. The rest of tbe commission makes a provisional esti mate of the cost, $183,473,893, or nearly double that of the Maritime Ca nal Company's unconditional estimate I of $0,0893,600. The oom minion makes j its estimate "provisional." Tbe com-: missioner say the existing data are in-' adequate as a basis for estimating the oust of many structures. Some por tion of tbe work may cost more; oth ers less. The report further say the official estimate by tho oom pany of $09,893, 660 is insufficient for the work; that "in several important oases the quan tities muBt be greatly increased, and in numerous cases the united prices do not make proper allowance for the dif ference in oost of work between the United State and Nicaragua."

The Marquis of Salisbury, it is understood, has com pleted his reply to Secretary Olney'a note regarding Venezuela. The mar quis was busily engaged upon it dur ing the most of last week, and numer ous papers dealing with the subject wore sent to the Hatfield house from the foroigu office. It is expected the answer will be delivered to the United States ambassador, Thomas F. Buyard. No Further I'ropmela. London, Nov. 37. Nothing is known at tho colonial office here of the alleged statements of the administration of British Ouiana that the imperial gov ernment is preparing to assert its rights by anna. Newspapers reaching here say the legislature of that colony had been acquiescent to the proposals of the secretary for the colonies, Mr. Cham berlain, to increase the oolouiul forco by two inspectors aud another Maxim gun, the legislature also notifying the government that it is prepared to vote anything the oolouiul secretary oousid ored necessary for the defense of the colony. No further proposal, how ever, has been made by tho imperial government. There has been uo change in the boundury dispute, and the gov eminent, it is added, will not tolorate Venezuelan aggression beyond tbe Schombergh lino. Othorwise it is stated that the warlike statement rinted in certain newspaper are not founded on facts. Salonica bay fleet will, it is expected, remain oft that poit lor the present, ready for any emergency. France has already at Smyrna one battleship, two cruisers and two smaller snips. Italy' flag floats from two battleships and two cruisers and four small oraft in the waters of Smyr na. Russia has two cruisers on the way to Smyrna, in addition to a pow erful fleet cruising in the Western por tion of the Black sea. The United States has been represented at Smyrna by tvro cruisers, and Gormany ha one small gunboat there, but it ia rumored that two German battleships are on their way. Austria has off Smyrna one battleship, two cruisers and two small gunboats. Of course, this is not a "naval demonstration." It is sim ply a concentration of the foroign fleets at a point agreed upon apparently be tween the powers. TO MODIFY SHIPPING LAWS. The Our Hold of Foreign Nations on arrylng Shipping Trade. Taooma, Nov. 37. Cramp, the Phil adelphia ship builder, is engaged in se curing reliable data regarding all the steamship lines plying between the United States and foreign countries, aud has lent here for information re garding the stenniBhip lines radiating from Puiret sound. The firm intends to present to congress reliable informa tion showing what a great bold Eng land and other foreign nations have upon the currying trade of this coun try, the object being to secure the pas sage of more favorable shipping laws, which shall make American shipbuild ing more advantageous aud profitable. The firm believes that a greut com merce is soon to grow up on the Pa ciflo ocean. Charles II. Crump stated to L.

Keturn of Admiral Klrkland. New York, Nov. 30. Rear-Admiral W. A. Kirklund, who, it is officially reported, has been recalled from his command of the European squadron, "because of certain indiscretions," was a passenger on the steamer La Bour gogne, which arrived here this after noon. The powers at Washington are said to be displeased because of a letter he wrote to President Faure, of France, his personal friend, congratu lating him upon his election to tbe office of ohief magistrate. The ad miral was seen as he left the ship. He seemed in a happy frame of mind, and was willing to talk on almost any sub ject but that of his rumored recall. A Linotype Content. Chicago, Nov. 20. A oontest for the championship on the Mergentbaler lin otype machine took place in this city today between George W.

Green set 70,000 corrected solid nonpareil in seven hours, to Taylor's 64,037, smashing all previous records. Mr. Green holds himself ready to do feud against all comers the title which today's victory gives him. At the close of the oontest, Mr. Green received a challenge from Reilly, of Boston.

Tbe lecture was on the subject of "Liberty," its under lying idea being that the safest road of liberty and government was that which did not interfere with individ ual liberty, and did not attempt to leg islate in matter of personal customs aud habits. It was an elaboration upon former speech he delivered in New York, explaining why he was a Demo crat aud why every true lover of liber ty ought to be a Democrat.
