PANAMA CANAL DEBTS.
A Bill to Authorize Postponemeut of
Payment.

A Bill TO Authorize POStpOn6me eut or
Payment.
PARIS, Dec. lin the Chamber OF
deputies to-day NJ. Peytral, minister of
fiuance, submitted bill authorizing the
postponme It for three months Of the pay
meut of the Panama canal company
Liabilities, including interest and redemp-
ton bonds. He said that the lottery fo
prizes attached to the bonds issued under
the Law OF 1888, would continue in accord
ance with the guaran -ees of that law.
Postponement of the payment of interest, lie
aid, would not apply 10 bonds whicn had
NOT been issued Dec /. This
d d4rogation of the civil law appeared
to the government. just fed by the interest
attac led to the proj9ct. The proposed delay
would give time to consider fresh arrange
men,s fos relieving the company's embar-
rassmeut He urged that committee be
imme lately appointed to consider the
measure. NJ. Tremel thought that the
danger ws not imminent, and did not
justify the interruption of the business of
the chamber. NJ. Gourirand opposed tie
bill. He censured the managers OF
the canal, and said it would be impossible
to leave the work Of construction in their
hands any longer, as they had been gull y
of emplo ing misrepresentation in order
to attract capital. M. Peytral insisted upon
urgency for the measure. Delay would
render it useless. NJ Kergariou expressed
fear that the government would be the
loser in guaranteeing the operations Of the
canal company. NJ. Floquet said
that the government simply asked
for committee. They would re-
main master of the committees decision.
The government were solely solicitous for
the small boJdhoIders. II the chamber
should reject the bill. the company would
be bankrupt. IL they adopt it, the com
pany would be given time to make other
arrar meuts. Urgency for the bill was
then granted by vote of 333 to l55
