While M. Huin, president of the

been awaiting the participation of Col

of the Panama canal to the United
States, Brunau Barilla, formerly an en-
gineer of the company, who says he rep

dicated to the isthmian canal commits
sion that the company is willing to sell
its concessions and property.

Barilla, and the two have talked over

The representations of NJ. Baril1a- to
Rear Admiral Walker, president of the
Isthmian Canal commission, have led to
the report that NJ. Hutin in to be dis
placed from the office OF president of the
French company 1t is learned, however.
that NJ. Hutin was advised only a few
days ago of his reelection to the presi-
dency, showing that he is to be retained
for another year and that majority Of
the stockholders are satisfied with his
policy.
NJ Hutin has contended that under
the terms Of the concessions held by the
company the grant would be subject to
forfeit from the nom ent negotiations be-
had the approval of the Colombian gov
eminent. It was. therefore, impossible
for him to submit a proposition for the
sale of the concession to the United
States, as requested by the Isthmian

SALISBURY IS BETTER.
HIS Condition Has Created Much
Alarm in London

London, April Although no builc-
tin has been issued it IS said Lord Sails
bury n is progressing satisfactorily
towards recovery from his illness.
New York. April IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
There were alarming bulletins at sew
eral of the clubs yesterday respecting
the health of the prime minister wish
forecasts of his resignation and retire
inert from public life before the end OF
April While these announcements were
premature and caused needless anxiety,
there had been no concealment of tn
truth at Westminster for several months
that Lord Salisbury was aging rapidly
and that he was not likely to remain ia
Office after the new reign had fairly cp-
ened. Even before his present indisposi-
ton it had been evident that his health
was failing and that he was looking 5ad-
ed end worn. The queens death and the
press of public business in connection
with the opening scenes and ceremonials
of the new reign have prevented q jour
ney to the Riviera, which might have
invigorated him, and possibly it may
now be too late for him to take adVan-
tage of a. respite from official duties. It
has been an open secret that the prime
minister was weary of public life and
anxious to retire after the general cleo
tious. but was dissuaded by urgent re-
quests from the court.
His inclinations prompted retirement
when the king aScended the throne, but
sacrifice and wait for a more convenient
season Those who have heard his re-
cent speeches have been impressed with
his listless manner. lack Of animation and
his increasing feebleness- Members Of par
lament have been predicting since Janu-
airy his resignation before the close of the
present session 1t has been noticeable
that the king has spared him needless at
tendance at court and accepted the serv-
ice of Mr. Balfour many times when the
prime minister would naturally have been
in consultation with him. Even il cur
health are exaggerated. there IS little rea-
son to doubt that there VIII be a new.
prime minister before midsummer, prob
ably Mr.. Balfour in preference to the
Duke of DeVonshire or Mr.. Chamberlain.
There were no notable callers at Airing
ton street yesterday and official bulletins
do not yet admit the case is serious.
