Americas Panama 'sscanda,."

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE congressional
appointed to look into the con-
duct of the affairs of the Panama canal,
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
the Pansma Railroad Company made its
report public to-day. Among other things
the committee finds that of the three
great banking firms. and ". Selignan,
Drexel. Morgan * Co. end Wlnsiow, Lanier
d Co., who were the financial agents of
the Panama company in this country the
first named concern confessed to spending
40, 000,0 900 francs. Neither of the other are
credited with any connection with any
O. expenditures. When the canal company
went into liquidation r. w. Thompson's
salary was chopped to S12.50o, he remain-
ing In complete ignorance that the men,
bers of the commission OF which he was
still chairman were each receiving $4,000 a
year:
What influence" the report says. was
exerted upon the financial view of the
United States by the names of these three
banking houses. what indirect credit and
popularity was given to the enterprise
through their numerous correspondents
and connection throughout the coun-
try it Is perhaps impossible now
to estimate. but to effect this was the OBJ
ject of the formation OF this American
committee committee which t~estifies
that 1t had no regular meetings.. and some
members of which were never present at q
meeting or knew whether any minutes
were ever kept by the committee. while
each of these houses were receiving $500, 600.
This fact. if 1t is q measure of the general
conduct and management of the Panama
Canal Company, may possibly explain
why it was compelled to 60 into liquidation
rs soon as 1t did. Your committee cannot
refrain from calling attention to what
seems to be an obvious deduction; that it
Is in the interest of the United States that
the American people should absolutely
some point which shall be used for the ben
eft of American trade.

Gint on Silver Bullion.

PHILADELPHIA. March 1.-THE vaults OF
the United States mint in this city to-day
hold the largest amount of bar silver ever
stored In one place In the United States.
The quantity is 10. 600. 600 ounces, or fully
enough. with the usual alloy. to- make no
less han $3.50. 600. 600 If coined. The vault
age of tb mint Is said to be unexcelled in
this country. yet the steel walled treasure
holders are filled to OVERLOOKING, and the
bullion Is being received from the govern
Eent at the rate of 3,S00.O00 ounces q
month. Beside this amount there are
sealed in the separate vaults $50. 600. 900 in
coined silver. The seal on the door has not
been broken for two years.
All the available storage space having
been utilized, il has been fOund necessary
to have another steel-llned vault con-
structed for the sole purpose of storing
the bullion. The new vault is about ten
feet from floor to ceiling. about eight feet
wide and thirty-fve feet long. It was
completed yesterday, and the government
Will commence using it on Monday. With
the silver piled clear up to tho ceiling. this
new storage place will contain but twenty
million ounces, and at the present rate it
months. The construction of still
another one of these immense storage
places for the silver Is an absolute necessity
should the purchase of silver continue.
This condition OF affairs Is far beyond
all precedent in the history OF che mint.
Previous to 1890 it was q rare event TO have
stored within the walls of the mint more
than O single million ounces of bullion.
There was. up to that time. never q day
when there were three million ounces at
one time on hand.

CHICAGO, March l1.-Trustee Kohlsaat
has received enough money BY popular
subscription to pay Governor Mckinley's
$685. 600 liabilities will have been wiped out
with single dollars from individual Repub-
licans and 50 5000 contributions by faithful
admirers. Not q cent of the Governors
or his wife's property will be used, and
no man Will ever he able to say be was
asked to help. In fact, in every case which
csme under the recipients notice he made
q most decisive objection and refusal.
The fund was raised by nearly four
thousand contributors. in sums ranging
from 81 &c handsome drafts for IS. eco.
The money came from nearly every section
OF the country. with the most from Ohio,
Indiana and Michigan. The Illi-
nois contributions show that Mir:

States are such that no competing mileage
could ever be built. The total oapitaliza-
ton on which charges have to be paid
on the $50 miles of New York * New England Is
$22.075. $50. The fixed interest capitalization
on the Ia miles OF the Poughkeepsie bridge

miles up to $29. 79s. 800. or only $4,000 per
mile. A statement OF the operations of the New
York & New England road for nine years
demonstrated that the increase In gross receipts
has been great and that the net earn
ings have kept pace with the in
creased charges. The surplus earnings over
years aggregate Sl,o51 OBS, or $Ss.93S more
than the dividends paid. New England would
seem able to earn fixed charges in almost the
poorest kind of a year. and the effect OF the coal,

A SHERIFF TURNS sLUGaER.
The Editor of a Carrollton Paper
Felled with a Billet without Warn

The Editor of a Carrollton Paper
Felled with Billet without Warn
ing.
Carrollton, Ga, July S.-A sensation
was created here this morning by fight
between James Hewitt, sheriff of Carroll
county, and Edwin Il. Sharpe, editor and
proprietor of the Carroll Free Press. Mr.
Hewitt went into the postoffice where
Mr. Sharpe was looking after some bust
ness. and when Mr. Sharpe turned around
from the window to mail letter, Sheriff
Hewitt said: I'm going to give you
something to publish" As Hewitt finished
the sentence he struck Sharpe
with d leather billet on the fore
head. The two men grappled
and fell to the floor, where Hewitt hit
Mr. Sharpe on the ear pretty bad blow,
and the cOmbatantS were pulled apart.
4 feud has existed for some time between
the men, caused by some articles which
have appeared in Col Sharpe's paper.
The first of these seem to have appeared
last fall The last issue of the Free
Press had an article that somewhat re-
fieCted on Hewitt and il was this article
that caused the fight of to-day, which
has caused a big cOmmOtion. The fight was
the talk of the town here. Col. Sharpe's
forehead was pretty bloody from the
blow of the billet. 1t is feared that the
trouble is not over with, and that more
serious ARRAY may grow out of it. The
MoRNING NEWS correspondent has heard
some talk of a settlement by duel. 1t
is certain from all the indications that
the matter is not ended. Mr.. Sharpe is
man of much physical strength and pluck
and has many friends. Hewitt is
smaller man than Mr.. Sharpe, but no
pluckier man lives in the state. Conser-
vative men are trying to effect a settle
ment, but it seems that war is on IN earn

waternelons Getting Cheap.

Mr. Olin p Love, commercial agent of
the Sam road at Albany, was in the city
for a few hours yesterday. He came di-
rect from the watermelon section, where
among others the Sam road has been
handling a large part of the crop. MIR.
Love says that on account of low prices
which melons are commanding now, the
traffic in them has fallen off considerably,
whereas it ought not to cease for a month
yet as there are plenty of melons in the
fields They can be bought on the track
in southwest Georgia as low as $35 car,
which hardly pays for the growing and

THE DIFFERENr1A1 ON COTTON.
Rates to be Equalized When all the
Roads get Their Share.

ROADS set Their Share.
The question of the removal of the diff
ferential in the rate on cotton to the
South Atlantic ports, which was dis
cussed at the meeting of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association in
New York a short while ago, and which
caused a great deal of talk among the
cotton shippers and railroad men at the
time, was not well understood, or less
might have been said about it,
Under the rules of the Southern Rail
way and Steamship Association all the
cotton is pooled at competitive points, and
the roads running to competing ports,
and which themselves are thus compe-
ting lines, get each propOrtionate share
of the business. To this end and purpose
the ocean rate is taken into consideration,
and the through rates by all the lines are
equalized
Thus from the South Atlantic ports the
ocean rate is higher than it is from those
of the North Atlantic. Therefore the
railroad rate is made eleven cents less to
these ports in order to equalize the entire
through rate Under the same rules
when one road or a number of roads upon
which this differential is allowed, get
more than their proportiOnate share of
the business, the differential is removed
in order to allow the other roads to catch
up from the points where the product is
pooled That was the case with the rail-
roads running to the South Atlantic ports.
and accordingly the diferential is
taken off until the other railroads get
their proportionate share of the business.
When that is done the differential is put
back and the rates are again .equaliZed
Under the rules of the association the diff
ferential must be put back, under any
circumstances, on September l, when the
shipping of the new crop begins, and if
the proportion is made up befoae that
time, the change will also be made earlier.
This is found necessary by the associa-
ton in order to afford equal protection to
all the common carriers.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The hurricane which suddenly appeared
on the middle Gulf Coast on the Isl,
extended far enough east to cause
heavy gales in the extreme western
counties of Florida On the End. At Pen
sacola the wind reached a maximum
velocity of &C miles, southwest. on that
date, doing considerable damage to ship
ping and other property. A hurricane
center, moving northward passed up off
the East Coast on the 18th, causing
heavy rains and dangerous gales along
the coast. Considerable damage was
done to property and crops in the count
les on and near the coast. Houses.
trees and fences were blown down and
orange groves suffered severely in many
sections, large quantities OF fruit being
blown from the trees.
