STEPS MUST BE TAKEN ID
 INSURE PERFECT TITLE
Report Says Outside Shares Can Be Purchased for a Comparatively Small Sum-other Obstacles
 Have Been Removed.

Washington, January 1S.-The supple mental report of the Isthmian canal com mission on the proposition of the Panama canal company to dispose of it's property to the United States for $4O,00OOOO was delivered to President Roosevelt this evening. The members of the commits sion to discuss the nature of the report and like reticence is maintained at the White House but it was stated on excel lent authority that the report unanimous ly recommends that the offer of the Pan anna company be accepted
 The report. it is stated, is very volum- inous, going into all phases of the ques- tion and attempting to meet the objee- tions that any legal complications will arise out of the purchase or that there will be any International difficulties should the deal be consummated. The report was completed about 6 o'clock this evening and after being signed by the members of the commission was car ried by Admiral Walker chairman of the commission, to Secretary Hay, who in turn transmitted it to the President The latter will send the report to Congress the first of the week, probably Monday.
 The report goes fully into the steps which must be taken in order to insure
 .
 a perfect title to the GA 5ea States. for, in addition to the present Panama Canal Company, the old organization and the Colombian government must be reckoned with. The report finds, however, 1t Is said, that the new company can give a clear title. It is stated that the report says that when the commission made it's recent report favoring the Nicaraguan route no offer to sell to this government had been made by the Panama Com pany.
 The offer of s4O,OoO,o 900 made in behalf of the company by M. Lampri, 1t is said changes the situation completely until it is further stated that the report shows that little over 1000 shares of the Pan anna Railroad stock Is owned by indi- viduals outside the Panama Canal Com pany and that these can be purchased for @ comparatively small sum. Other have been removed.

 His Guilt.

New Orleans, January 1S.-Mr.. P. G. Thebaud and Detective Sergeant Kelly of New York arrived here to- night to attempt to identify T. E.

MEMBERS OF HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE OPPOSED TO FED- ERAL ENACTMENT TO SUP PRESS SUCH CRIMES.

Washington, January 1S.-(SpeciaL)- There is said to be quite division of sen- timent in the House judiciary commit tee over proposed legislation relating to anarchy.
 Several of the ablest members of the committee believe the present state stat utes satisfactory, and in support of their position cite the speedy trial and execu- tion of the assassin of the late Presi- dent, under the laws of New York, as compared with the long drawn out trial of the assassin of President Garfield under the federal law governing territories
 In law these members say 1t is diff Acult to discriminate between the Presi- dent and an individual, hence their op- position to federal enactment.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR CUBA. Ways and Means Committee Seems
 to Be Against Reciprocity.

Washington, January 1s.-(Special J. From present indications the recommen- dation of the administration for Cuban reciprocity will have little effect with the ways and means committee, which seems to be standing solidly by the beet sugar interests. The only chance for Cuban reciprocity seems to rest with the Sem ate through proposed amendment of the Philippine tariff bill.
 The leaders on the ways and means committee of the House, where action on this subject would naturally begin, have not, apparently, altered their opinion that nothing should be done at this time in the direction of lowering the duties on imports from Cuba into the United States. If the Senate takes the initiative the House will agree with 1t and place the responsibility on the Senate.
