Beyond advertising for tenders for @leaning some ten miles on the line of the canal and for building two houses, nothing has been done for the past weeks of any importance to chrontele. Some 1,200 laborers have arnvedifrom the interior of the republic, abd as many as 2,000 more are expected early in January. It is said that as soon as the dry season has fairly sot in, quite a rush’ will be made gn the line of the road, as tho mackipery and other requisites have arrived at Colon to commence oporations. ates from Lima are to the 0th of November. Affuirs in Peru seem to have assumed a most appalling condi- tion. Pierola’s most intimate and trustworthy friend, Gen. Caceros, has also forsaken him and declared him- self superior general and political and military chief of the departments of theCentreina proclamation on the 24th of November. In this proclamation Gen. Oaccros states his action in as- suming the office was guided solely b the desire to promote that union the country which he considerod necessary for its success and to destroy she powerof Pierola, whichhad become in element of discord. As amatter of course, Caceros is actuated solely by persounal motives. He is disgusted at the success of his former subord nates in the south who have seized command in more habitableand profit- able regions than those Pierola . had iny,“And ho is now disinehemd to surrender Montero.

For this state of Peru itsolf the union under whosoever may be elected, which will destroy the pretext of Chili, and give to the United States the advautage which it requires, and of which it will know how to take advantage.

Attempted Murder and Suioide. Special Dispateh to The Boe. WaverLy, Nob., December 23, — About 11 o’clock yesterday forenoon attention was drawn to tho inner office of the postoffice by loud shrieks from a woman. Two or three men rushed in and discovered George Tray- erse, the husband of the postmistress, in tho act of plunging a knife into his wifo's bosom. Traverse was seizod and as this was done he made a wicked slash at his throat with the knife, cutting a gash about two inches long. Mrs. Traverse was found to been stabbed five times, of which one cut in the left breast was the most severe. She was immedi- ately rendered surgical aid, and it 18 not thought the wounds are fatal. Traverse did not inflict serious injury on himself when he cut his throat. He was taken in charge by the offi- cers, and aiterwards taken to Lincoln. The cause of thetrouble is supposed to have been jealousy. Traverse left his family some yearsagoand returned recently. During his absence Mrs. Traveree was appointed postmistress, which office she now holds. Traverso is believed to be entirely in fault, and groundlessly jealous, have The Jeannette.

As has already bden told, Melville and ten men were met by three Yakuts, The Yakuts are good-natured nomads, very skillful 1n caring for disorders and maladies caused by cold. The party could not have fallen into better hands. It must be remembered, how- over, that from Barchot, where they were discovered, to Yakutska, the distance is 2,000 versts, or 1,400 nules, with no regnlar means of traus- portation vast. Twenty days are re quired to get there, but.as those who went to the rescuc started three days ago the time necessary to find the party and bring them back to Yakuts- ka will be abcut two months, Nor should it be forgotten that although the whereabouts of Melville and his party is pretty well known, that of De Long, who sent forward Nindeman and Noras out of his party of thirteen, is not known and that for the succor. ing expedition to reach him will take affairs the only remedy is to defend in |®@ long time over a country where there _are no roads, 'The distance from Yakutska to Irkutska is 2,818 versts, or 1,900 miles, with hampered post, which will re- quire at least twelve days to transport twenty-four persons, The government of ~Yakutska sent Tchernaieff (not General Tchernaie! of Seraa, who will receive the instrue tions of the government and orders for fresh expeditions in eight days by try. ‘‘I remain, gentlemen, yours very truly, 8.

On the 1st of Dacember the Chilean civil tribunals were to be installed in Lima and Callao.

There will” be no further news, then, from the Jeannette party themselves, in less than three months, as the telegraph wire does not extend beyond Irkutska. From Irkatska to St. Potersburg will take them proba- bly a month, traveling as rapidly s 'msnih]o, although they wlll proba bly be 'in St. Poterabury by April and New York by May.” This is all the information T have received to date. In case the government should wish to communicate directly with the Jeannette, I beg to say that Gon Anontchine, governor of Eastern Si beria is now in St. Petersburg, but that his representative during his ab- sence is Gen.
