TRYING TO SAVE THE PANAMA CANAL.
PETITIONS TO THE FRENCH SENATE FOR THE
GnvrpNAIrNrr No r.r.ur.-....--.

GOVERNMENT TO INTERFERE
ale Courier des Etats-Uniss publishes the latest
official information in regard TO the present status Of
the Panama Canal IN France Many conflicting dis
patches have been received recently concerning the
probabilities Of seeing the undertaking revived under
the direct patronage of the French Government or Of
the Credit Foncier. great financial establishment en-
ioyng, like the Bank Of France semi-orcal charac-
ter. Lee Courier des Etats-Unis" explains exactly
how the situation stands at present It gives the text
Of the committee report the petitions addressed to
the French Senate by fourteen different groups OF
stock and bond holders Of the Panama Canal Company
The petitioners asked that the Governor of the Credit
Foncer NJ Christophe, should be authorized to place
himself al the head Of new company to be con.
sttued by him. and capable Of furnishing the neccs
sary funds for the completion Of the Panama Canal
while preserving the rights Of the present investors in
the enterprise
The report of the committee OF the Senate saws
plainly that the Government cannot interfere with
the business of financial and industrial schemes Of
private character. When, IN 1883, the Parliament
authorized the Interoceanio Canal Company to issue
loan Of 720,0oo00O francs In bonds, II took care to
stipulste in the law Of June s that all the bonds
issued should bear the notice without any guarantee
responsibility on the part Of the state The Senate
would be going contrary to established principles there
fore were II to ask the Government to entrust TO the
Credit Foncier the duty of taking up the work Of
pletlng the Panama Canal. STILL the committee, in
consideration Of the large capital invested by French
people in the undertaking and without pronouncin1
itself In favor OF any solution whatever proposes to
show the senates sympathy toward the petitioners by
forwarding their petitions to the Minister Of Finance
The Senate approved the committee report, and 1t
remains to be seen what will be adopted by
the Government At any rate II is WE'LL known fact
that NJ Chrstophe the Govepor Of the Credit Foncier
has repeatedly declared that he would not undertake
the work OF saving the Panama Canal enterprise unless
he should be invited to attempt 1t by written and
official request Of the French Government.
