cALToN VS.. STANFORD EFT AIS.
A Lengthy Case-AfRdavit Filed by the
Defendant.

SAN Francisco, July 2.
Chas. Crooker fled an affidavit yesterday
in answer to Mrs. Cations application in her
suit now being tried at Santa Rosa against
Stanford. Croker & Huntington, in which
size asked for custodian to be appointed to
receive and hold bonds and other securities
involved in the suit, and now in the possession
Of the defendants. Crocker, in his answer
asserts that all Of the defendants are pos
sessed of real eetate and other property far
exceeding in value that claimed by the plain
tiff
He denies that the defendants are borrow
ing money in this State on all the available
securities of their companies and says the
floating debts of tho Central and Southern
Pacific Companies are smaller now than at
the time of Dalton's death. He says it is
also false that the defendants have used $685.
O00, 900 worth of bonds in the Central Pacific
sinking fund, but says 0s0 Southern Pacific
bond were sold for par and the accrued inter
est and the proceeds invested in 1921 bonds
of the Southern Pacific of New Mexico at the
rate of s25, 900 per miless while the Southern
Pacific was mortgaged $4,000 per mile.
regarding other stocks, it is claimed by Col
ton that the defendents were willing to de-
posit them in any reliable bank that the court
might indicate till the termination of the
suit. The discussion over the answer will
p robably last several days.

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE PANAMA CANAL.
The story as Told by q. s. Naval Offi-
Ger.
WAsHINaroN. Luly 2.

WASHINGTON, July 2.
Lieut. r. NJ. q. Brown Of the navy. who
recently joined the Laekawanna At the Paci-
ie station, has made report to the Secretary
Of the Navy on the condition Of aud progress !
of the work on the Pacific Canal up to date.
CALLAo, July 2.
The original estimated cost of the work
was six hundred million francs and the time
requested for its completion seven years.
Nearly half that time has elapsed and as
nearly as can be found out Lieut.. Brown says
not far shurt of sixty million fancs has been
expended exclusive of twenty million expend-
ed on the Panama railroad.
There is a clause in the original charter
providing that in case the railway should be
sold to any other corporation one half of the
purchase money shall revert TO the United
States of Colombia. II a question whether
such q sale has already been made by the
government, but the canal company claim
that the railway corporation remains the
same. Probably compromise will soon be
made with the United States of Colombia,
the writer says, where ~ the railway company
will become a French company.
Lieutenant Browns report as to the prog
ress in the work on the Panama canal con-
tained the following:
Nobody can safely predict that the proposed
method Of controlling Chagre's river will be
satisfactory. The problem where to put
sixty million cubic metres of earth from the
billy sections is a difficult one That mate
rial costing SIS. .000, 900 had been allowed TO
sink into the soft marsh and was covered up ;
that some of the material has already been
condemned and sold to vessels leaving Colon
for ballast. From the best information OBJ.
tainable only one thirtieth Of the actual work
necessary has heen accomplished. Forty
one hospitals have been constructed, costing z
over s., ,0O0, 900 and accommodating 400 pa
tients, but the capacity will have TO be in
creased. The most serious OBJ.
stacle TO the completion Of the canal is
Chagre's river. Ii is small during the dry
season, but becomes q torrent almost uncon-
trolable during the wet season. During the
great food of November, 1879, the railroad
was covered with water nearly Is feet deep
from Colon to Emperado for thirty miles.
Another such flood would in few hours un-
do much of the work between Colon and
Emperador. Instead of being an assistance
in utilizing il as part of the canal a. origi-
nally proclaimed, the river has become the
greatest drawback.
Lieutenant Brown considers the completion
Of the canal according 10 the present plans as
very doubtful, as 1t certainly will require
more time and money than was estimated.
He thinks canal with locks would be more
feasible, but the net profits would be much
less.

THE MEETING.

Contrary to the expectation of Regis.
ter Reilly, Edward Kearney and other
leaders OF Tammany, John Kelly. who is
still at Saratoga, did not return yester-
day, and therefore has not issued a call
for a meeting of the Committee on Or
ganization to expel ex-senator Grady
and indorse Cleveland and Hendricks.
Friends Of Mr.. Kelly say that he will
issue a call for a meeting early next
week and that he will advocate the in.
dorsement Of the Democratic national
ticket.
The Tammany Hall General Commit
tee will meet a week from tomorrow
and ratify the action of tho Committee
on Organization, provided it has in
dorsed Cleveland and Hendricks. New
York Herald, Sept. 4.
This throws considerable light on the
telegram published in yesterdays SENrI.
MEL, which was so full of Mr.. Grady's
rhetoric. 1t appears that Mr.. Grady is
likely to be 'ired," which circumstance,
perhaps, fred him to eloquence. Maybe
he is posinga as amartyr, and as such strikes
a sympathetic chord in whatever follow.
ing he may have. We believe that Mr..
Grady will be as potent in shaping the
decision of Tammany Hall in regard tc
Cleveland this time as he was when he
''bucked" SO hard in the National Con
vention-but we shall see.
