PANAMA TNTESTIG1TION.
The Report Recommends Certain Limita-
lions on the Mail Contract.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Panama
Pacific Mail Investigating Comlnittee met
this afternoon and adopted Il report pre-
pared by Mr.. Storer Rep.. o., on the
work of the committee.
The report recommends that in the
future in all. ocean mali contracts the
Postmaster-General insert clause pro-
yiding that whenever IL is found that
carriers enjoying the benefits OF the con-
tracts enter into any combination in re-
stralnt Of trade and competition, the sub
sidy shall cease
The committee finds that there IS no
exclusive right TO control transit across
the isthmus vested in American citizens
or corporations or limitations upon the
natiC1ality OF stockholders. The commit
tee was unable TO trace any corrupt use
Of money TO influence Congress or the
executive branch, and says it may be
that no investigation az this time would
suffice even IL corruption had existed.
Comment Is made upon De Lesseps'
visit 10 America, and the change Of SEN
timent that followed though failure of
Congress to act on Grapes resolution is
excused on the ground of lack OF time and
apathy. Such contracts as existed be-
tween the Pacific mail and the Panama
railroad are declared inimcal to Amer.-
can commerce. and hope Is expressed
that eventually American citizens will
control one isthmus route.
