Four hundred holders of bonds and
Shares in the Panama Canal met today
and passed resolutions in favor of a re-.
organization of the company on a purely
commercial basis. A suggestion that ap
peal be made to American capitalists in
the interest of the enterprise was ap-
proved unanimously. The meeting re-
solved to form an executive committee
with 25, ,000, 600 francs capital and appeal
for state aid. Count Keratry was APP

Campaign Against the Newspapers.
The government has begun a cam
paign against foreign newspaper cores
pondents in Paris. Today dispatches
from Berlin, Budapest and London an
nounced the insinuations OF Cocarde
transformed by Paris correspondents of
newspapers in those cities into open sug-
gestions that either Baron Morenheim or
Count Menabrea, formerly Italian am
bassador, was influenced in favor of the
Pan ma Canal company by the bribe of
100000 francs. Herr Wedell, CORE
spondent for several dailies, was notified
that he must leave the country M.
Seliche, correspondent Pesth-Hirlay,
was arrested for telegraphing the
report in question to Budapest. Several
other correspondents are notified that
they will be expelled from France for
the same offence.
London Comment on the Situation.
LONDON, January 14,-The Paris COR
respondent of the Times says: 'sSome
Panama shareholders have called a meet
ing for Sunday to consider the obtaining
of a renewal of the concession and re-
sumption of work" The News cores
pondent suggests that the campaign of
slander against President Carnot has
been instituted by women who have beed
discouraged socially in consequence of
the exclusiveness of Nine Carnot's recep-
tons.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
further writes: '"The Pope's letter to
Count Albert de Nun contains only
yelled reference to the Panama scandals.
1t calls upon all Frenchmen to put pri-
vate interests and political discussions
aside in common defence of the estab-
lished form of government as the only
means of religious peace and civil har-
mony.''
