THE PANAMA CANAL.
Trying to Induce Americans 70 Invest q Large
Amount In That Enterprise.

New YORK, April l3-M Le Comts
De Keratry, Frenchman, is In New
York TO convince Americans that Q
canal across the Isthmus Of Panama
built by France and controlled BY
the French government, would In no wise
menace the continued supremacy OF the
United States or be contrary TO the M
roe doctrine. He Says he is authorised to
offer to American investors chance 70
invest $1,000 600 francs IN the new conn
pany, so that the United States may Be
heartily with France In the enterprise,
and the canal may be truly an interna-
tional triumph.
He said The recent contract made
with the Colombian government put our
new company on the same status Of De
Lesseps Of 1880. This new company IL to
raise 200, ,00O, 900 francs In four equal parts,
and the first block OF $4,000, 900 francs
already raised in France will carry the
work Of levelling Mt. Culebra, and from
that on all will be easy" The dam at
Campana, which has so impeded the work,
Is TO be turned to advantage.
"It WILL" said he, mot only protect our
works from floods, but will furnish US
power for the hydraulic cannons we shall
use TO batter down Mt Culebra, which has
no granite In its composition and will go
to pieces like putty before the mighty
streams of water.
Eight years will see the work finished,
and our profits, estimated at 27,808, $40
francs, will b. divided As follows: 2,730, ,354

THAT DYNAMITE PLOT.
Belief In II Strengthened by Further DIscov.
cries Of Bombs.

BROOKLYN, April lS-The belief in the
alleged dynamite plot to blow up K. v.
Crandalls putty and alum factory In
Mashpeth, l.. l., confessed by Otto Eek
holdt, a former employe at the works, who
is now IN Jail charged with arson, was
strengthened yesterday when another largo
quantity of dynamite was found concealed
in the engine room.
Constable Hook and two deputies es-
corted Eckholdt through the factory In
search of more bombs The floor Of the
engine room was taken up and upon q
beam under the floor was found an old
rusty tin box, about q foot square and
four inches deep.
The box was fitted with a paddock, but
the hasp was broken, and at either end
wire had been wound to keep the cover
down. Within was found dozen bags Of
dynamite, each about eight inches long
and an inch in thickness. They were
cyndrical in shape and the covering looked
to be linen cloth. oiled and smeared with
some yellow substance.
1t is generally believed that the gang, of
which Rupprecht is the ringleader, had
other plots to destroy property on Long
Island. They are known to be a desperate
set of men.

Committee Meet the Board of License Com I.
missioners.

missioners.
Yesterday afternoon at 80 the commit
tee OF ten appointed by the Retail Liquor
Dealers Association met the members Of
the Board OF License Commissioners at
the latter's rooms In the post office build
ing.
The members of the committee were:
William Nerr, John r. Donahoe, M. j (.
Higgins, Thomas Rock, Kasper Kern, I.
f. Butler, William Butterworth, Robert
Hubbard. Thomas Brown and Albert
Haigh. MIR. Nerr, who acted as chairman,
said the main object of the committee
calling on the commissioners was to get a
more explicit explanation OF sections hve
and seven OF the circular sent To the deal
ers by the comm issioners. The sections
rend - follows:
kith.-.rhat no partitions Of any nature
whatever will be allowed in any licensed
place.
Seventh.-The place where liquors are
stored or kept must have but one entrance,
and that must be by trap from within
the licensed premises. This applies to
those places where the liquors are stored
In the cellar. There Will be no objection
to an entrance also from the sidewalk.
The committee thought that the orders
were rather sweeping and II they could
not be modified they wanted to know
just what TO do. They wanted to live up
To the law and to assist In enforcing the
law, but they had gone to no little ex-
pense In fitting up their saloons and 1t
would be another big item to alter the
places all over again, besides the landlords
would object. In regard to section seven
II Is hard matter to put barrels In through
a trap door and those who had outside
cellar doors wanted to be allowed to use
them ia putting In stuff.
The Commissioners explained that the
object of sending out the circular was to
do away with the necessity of visiting all
the places.
Clause five meant that all partitions
that prevent a clear view of the whole
interior must be removed. They could
have inside screen doors and curtains for
use on week days, but on Sunday q clear
view must be had.
They said that Judge Shove's construc-
tion oil the law was that anything That
prevented a clear view Of the premises was
| a violation OF the screen law and dealers
had been convicted and fined. The
Board were only protecting the dealers
in pointing out the law to them. They
did not want to be hard on anyone, but
the law was there and must be lived up
to.
The committee said that they repre-
sented 70 retail dealers and that they were
oreanized to protect themselves and as
sist the Board In every way to enforce the
law which they had always lived up to.
After some further talk committee OF
three was appointed to meet the Board at
7 80 tonight and report to the dealers
| meeting at o'clock. The dealers will
elect officers tonight and form a perma-
nent organization.
