Activity in Panama Canal Circles.

Colon, Colombia, Aug. B.—Advices received here from Paris announce considerable activity in that city regarding Panama canal matters. As already cabled, a large number of laborers are required for work on the isthmus. The rate offered them, however, is only equal to 42 cents in gold. Mechanics are paid in proportion.
