In three column article the New York
World alleges that the Panama Canal cor
ruptionists and thieves expended over 81.
600, 900 in bribing American legislators. In
brief the article says: There is an Ameri
can end to the Panama scandal Two
million five hundred thousand dollars was
sent to this country and no explanation
has been given OF what use was necessary
or was made of this vast sum. The brib-
cry and corruption practiced in the
United States was Just as fragrant al
though less in extent and in the amount Of
money used. The French spectators OBJ
tanned their rights from the United states
OF Colombia, and purchased the services
Of Ferdinand de Lesseps TO give their
scheme eclat The American committee
was not disposed to work for nothing. and
De Lesseps agreed to make, when the com
pany was organized, six annual payments
to this American committee The drst
payment was 100000 francs. A year fol-
loving a payment OF 100000 francs
was to be made, and subsequent
payments of 100000 francs year for
FIVE years. Thus it was that about $500
600 was provided by the head of the Pana-
ma Canal scheme to influence the people Of
the United States and their government.
Here was a corruption fund that was cap
able of accomplishing great results. Con-
