The Nicaragua Canal Company will very soon take the first practical step to- ward the construction of the proposed canal connecting the Carribean Bea with the Pacific Ocean. A party of forty sur- veyors and their assistants, under the immediate control of Civil Engineer R will leave New York next Sat urday for Nicaragua for the purpose making extended surveys of the canal route. hundred laborers will added to the party when they reach Greytown, the Eastern terminus of the canal. The surveyors will at E. Peasy, of One be proposed location of the make additional borings after determin- ing the sites of the locks, dams and em- bankments, A railroad will also be located to be built as soon as the construction of the canal is commenced. The railroad is to extend from the ocean harbors to the unimpeded navigation on eitherside of Lake Nicaragua. The proposed route of the canal extends from the harbor of Greytown, on the Carribean Sea, to Bri to, on the Pacific. Its total length is 170 miles, of which 39 miles will be excava- ted canal, 45 miles navigation by Lake Nicaragua and 86 miles by the river san Juan (the outlet of the lake,) the ba- gin of the river San Fraocis:co and through seven locks. The lake will be connected with the Pacificby a canal about 16 miles in length. -—— THE LARGEST BOILER EVER BUILT IN AMERICA. The Dickson Manufacturing Company, Scranton, has just completed the largest boiler ever constructed in America. It is to be used in the Calumet and Hecla mines of Michigan, from which during the past month $777,000 worth of copper has been taken. The boiler is the tenth one purchased by the company during the present year. It is 35 feet 4 inches in length, 10 feet 6 inches wide, aod 11 feet 6 inches high. It would quire one man 2200 days to boiler, It weighs 45 tone, and is of 1 horse power, The boiler is made steel from the Otis steel works at Cleve. land, One sheet used weighed two tons, The steel from the “crown sheet” to the ‘wagon top” 18 1% ind diameter, that near the valve is’; of an inch, and all other parts 9-10 hin diame ter, There are the boiler, a dou with the flues, and stay bolts and rivets are used varying io length from 6 inches to 16 inches, 0 “hand holes” for the purpose of cleaning the boiler, which may serve to illustrate its im- size, copper re- the (O00 1 build of “es in Is f an ine 198 three-inch tabes in ble fire box There are J mense np A SUFFERING | COAL. The present stock of coal in Cincinnati is a half million bushels, while the nsual CINCINNATI FOR stock at this time is three or foar lion bushels, mil- The low stage of water in the Ohio river, which is the chief source of supply for soft coal, makes it impossi- to add a bashel in that way to the stock. The railroads are not at a'l pre- pared to supply such vast quantities as are consumed here daily, though in case there is not very soon a rise in the river their equipment will have to be eslarged to prevent actual distress. Maoufaciur ing estab ishments are now in trouble over the short allowance and high prices and all are intensely interested in a rise in the Ohio River. Te It would be agood thing if all the world could lie down to sleep every night in as contented and peaceful a frame of mind as Lord Balishury seemed to be 1n at the Mayor's bangnet in Lon- don last week. The Prime Minister made a speech in which he surveyed the world generally, ineluding America, and announced to bis bearers that he saw no war clonds in sight. The Afghan fron. tier and the New Hebrides difficulty had both been settled smioably, and Ayoub Khan, the escaped Afghan pretender, bad surrendered to the Indian Governs ment. Mr. Joseph Chamberlin could be relied upon, he thought, to bring the ancient fishery dispute to a satisfactory conclusion, He also took a very hope ful view of the situation in Ireland, and complimented Mr. Balfour, who was pre- sept, in a way that must have made that gentleman feel very uncomfortable. The new powers of the Government, he said had been in existence only a few months, yet there was already a marked improve: ment in the condition of the country. The law was in the dteady’course of sue oessful operation. We sincerely hope at Lord Balisbary's predictions of hase "i prove true, It must be con.

COAL MINERS IN ARE ACCUSED WITH THE OF THE BREAKERS Hazleton, Pa., Nov. 21.—The coal ons are trying to show that the starving miners oun strike are responsible for the two coal breakers buarped late Saturday night, and a loss of property agg egatine pearly $150,000. The operators indulged in a good deal of wild talk yesterday, and had much to say about appealing to Gov. Jeaver for protection. The sheriff of the county was asked for protection, but he could not see the slightest ground fo his NDIGNANT. I'HEY BURNING bar the accusation of incendiarism, and The striking miners deplore the fires and were indiguant over even an impo tation that they should be charged with causing them. The men are opposed wu making trouble of any kind, knowiuvg well that if they were the cause of any breach of the peace the operators would take advantage of it and swear in more the strikers. After a lockoat of eight weeks the strikers are found in a very destitute condition. It is true the idle men received generous support from Knights of Labor and their friends, bu! it has proven entirely inadequate, for every dollar received for relief§15 have been lost in wages. The end seems as far off asever.

They report that the condition the miners is fast becoming critical there is but little expectation among of of i the men of securing work in the banks, and a large number are moving away. There are now between 7,000 and 8000 miners in the Monongheia valley, daring the last three months not more than 0 have secured a fortoight's employment. The reason of this is when the river falls below a navigab stage cosl cannot be shipped, andas cosa mining is the only business of the Mon- everything and steady that “ ¥ i wogabela valley, is paraly- zed. Not a coal boat has left Pittshar bh last. The dro has allowed the river to fall so no empty craft could reach the pits. Con sequently pearly all the pits bad to shat down. In the neighborhood of Eliza beth the miners appear to be in a worse plight than at any other river point. “The hutting down of the mives has slagna- ted business and the little stores with which the miners dealt have been in bad way, because of their inability collect any money. - A dispatch from Hazelton says Pardee says he will positively not give in the present struggle with the striking miners if it should last twenty years, He declared that his works may rot and in twenty years coal would be worth enough to cover the loss. He says he always claimed right to conduct his busi- ness as best suited him, and he would continue to claim that right, Mr. Pardee says further willing to give his men the increase in wages which is guaranteed by the in- crease in the price of coal, whieh would be four and a half per cent. Had the men kept at work he would have paid in wages during thetime the strike has been on $125,000, whereas only $10,000 has thos far been gent bere for the re- lief of the strikers, - i» nen A fireat Mound City, Ill., on Monday destroyed thirty five buildiogs.
