Poughkeepsie, Nov. 16 (Special al-There seems to be
not the least desire the part Of the Democratic
members Of the Beard Of Supervisors OF Dutchess
County TO complete the canvass Of the vote IN that
county before the first Of next year. They are
struggling hard to kill much time as possible now
In the hope that when they finally through with
the canvass and forced from the face Of the
turns to acknowledge the election of Gilbert A. Deane

next session Of the Legislature that the Democrats
will be able TO control the Senate the organization.
The Board Of Canvassers did not meet here until 80
this afternoon and they remained I'm session until after
D O'Clock. outside OF the city Of Poughkeepsie there
only six towns remaining iD which the vote had
net been canvassed and had the Democratic members
OF the board acted cnergetcally did the Repub
can members the work of the canvassers now would
be completed. The Democratic supervisors read the
returns with painful slOwneSs and hestated and
stumbled at the slightest provocation. +. Wright
Vail, the Democratic obstmctonst, continued his work
Of introducing useless resolutions and talking upon
them for the sole purpose OF killing time.
The returns which read to-day, with one or
two exceptions had to be sent back for correction.
These "crrors' occur with such frequency in tho
districts where the Democrats had majority Of the
inspectors and the election officers and there is such
perfect uniformity about all Of those errors that
1t looks as though there was wellaid plan 10 have

juggling would be presented To-day the examination

efforts TO get these reports in that the Democratic
game might be exposed Against eighteen Democrats

FINANCES OF IHE PANAMA CANAL.
THE LIoUIDATOR SAYS THE UNITED STATES
WANTS TO GET CONTROL OF THE


ENTERPRISE.
Paris, Nov. 16-M MonchlcOurt, the liquidatOr Of
the Panama Canal Company in his report to the Seine
Tribunal, says that the agreement which has been
reached in the negotiations with the United states OF
Colombia in regard TO the canal by Lieutenant Bona
parte Wyse does not meet the hopes of the iquidaor
lie trusts however that tee Government OF Colombia
will accept notifications of the agreement after new
company shall have been constituted. The negot1a-
tons of the Credit Foncler with the French Govern
ment in regard to the formation of new Panama
Canal Company continue. II the Government refuses
10 intervene in the affair the great enterprise is de
nnitively condemned. II is known, continues NJ
MonchcOur in his report that the United States Gov
ernment is watching for a favorable opportunity 10
obtain control of the canal at n small cost, without
taking into account the services that have already
been expended in the undertaking.
The only way out Of the difficulty, NJ Monclicourt
declares for semofcal pressure to be brought to
bear on the Governor of the Credit Foncier TO induce
him TO bring the matter to satisfactory issue. The
report dwells at length the enormous difficulties
which present themselves in the attempt 10 realize on
and TO distribute the canal companys assets. 1t
closes by saying that the best means to overcome
these difficulties is for the Senate and the Chamber OF
Deputies TO pass a law assmllatng the difference in
