 Senator Pasoo Before the
 Canal Committee.
WAS PREPARED BY DR. SILVA

washington, February 15.-The Panama canal protocol which has been in course of preparation for several weeks at the hands of pr. Silva, the Colombian minis ter here; MT. Herran the first secretary Of legation, and MT. Mutis-Duran. the special representative of the Department of Panama, now stands completed in all essential respects. The protocol has been prepared in the Spanish language and MT Heron will undertake it's transla- tion into English, so it Is probable it will not be turned over to Admiral Walker chairman of the inter-oceanic canal com mission, before next Thursday. Admiral Walker has had no part in the drawing up of the protocol.
 Dr. Silva, 1t is stated at the legation probably will leave Washington in a short time for Bogota in order to set the provisions of the protocol before the off, cials at the seat of the Colombian gov ernment.
 Pasco Before Committee.
 During todays hearing by the inter- oceanic canal committee former Senator Pasco of Florida, member of the canal commission, was examined with regard to the legality of proceedings by which the old Panama Company was dissolved by the French court and the title of the new company under the transfer of the liquidator conferred by the court MT. Pasco read from the charter of the company the French law and the orders of the court to show the validity of the transfer, but Senator Morgan quoted from the French bankruptcy laws to sup port his contention that their provisions had not been complied with. MT. Pasco stated that the French law passed in 1873 expressly confirmed and approved the proceedings in the case. and as they had gone unquestloned for many years and had been accepted by Colombia, he re- garded them as legal.
 Questioned at Length.
 Senator Morgan questioned the witness at some legnth with regard to the report that sixty persons and corporations in France had agreed to subscribe to the stock of the new Panama Company on condition the proceedings. civil and crim- inal, against them were abandoned. Mr. Pasco's knowledge of the matter was linn ited to a report of the reorganization made by the company.
 Mr. Pasco said he did not consider the concessions of Colombia to the Panama Company valuable to the United States but important only in determining the title of what the company could sell. As to the concessions granted by Nicaragua to the Maritime Canal Company and the Cragen-Eyre syndicate, which have since been declared, MT. Pasco said the canal commission did not consider they con- stitute any obstacle against the construc- ton of the canal by the United States.
