HAY AND HUTLIN
 IN CONFERENCE
The Panama Canal Was the Subject Under Discussion.
 The Outlook.

Washington, November 30.-PresidenL Hutin of the Panama Canal Company call ed by appointment upon Secretary Hay to- day and had a long talk with him touch ing the prospects of the Panama canal as a field for probable legislation at the approaching Congress.
 The Panama Company has as yet made no official tender of the property to the State Department. It has, however, pre- sented to the Isthmian Canal Commission, of Which Admiral Walker is president, a full statement of the affairs of the com pany and the conditions upon which it might be willing to pass control of its prop erty to the United States government in the event that the Panama route should be chosen.
 The commission will include MT. Hutin's communication in its report so that Con- gress will have before it material for ex- ercising the choice between the Nicaraguan and the Panama routes. It Is probable, however, that before the latter can be taken under serious consideration a more serious proposition as to the exact terms under which the Panama Company's rights could be acquired by the United States will be required.
 The canal commission is making strenu- ous efforts to finish it's preliminary report, which, according to promise, Is to be de- livered to the President today. It Is now said that the document will be sent to Con- gress as an accompaniment to the Presl dents message, and that meanwhile it will not probably be made public.
 It Is evidently the intention of the admin istration to press canal legislation upon Congress as speedily as possible, and early In the beginning of the session. It Is said that before final action can be had in the Senate upon the pending House bill provid- ing for the construction of the Nicaragua canal the executive branch of the govern ment will have succeeded In removing cer- tain obstacles which now lay in the course of the pending ay-Pauncefote treaty, and If this latter convention should be ratified the administration influence would be cast in favor of the pending bill
 There have been several conferences of late between Secretary Hay on one side and Senors Correa and Calvo, the ministers from Nicaragua and Costa Rica respective ly, and 1t Is believed that by way of antici- pating action upon the HayPauncefote treaty the basis has already been laid for the treaties with the two isthmian Repub- lies which would be necessary to give ef- feet to the canal and to secure for the United States the exclusive right for the canal construction.
