Paris, March 1.-The officials of the
Panama Canal company are still without
an explanation Of the dispatch from Co
lon, Colombia, announcing that the COM
pany would not be allowed to transfer
its concession to another nation without
the assent of Colombia to modification
Of the stipulation Of articles Il and ~ OF
the company's agreement with Colombia,
and q cable message will be sent To Co
lombia today asking for an calculation Of
the matter. A hope is expressed that the
difficulty will be arranged, and in the
meanwhile the company will maintain its
cfler to sell its property TO the United
States and will continue the negotiations
on the subject.
1t is not considered probable here that
Colombia will oppose the sale of the canal
property to the United States after Civ
ing its assent at the opening Of the nego-
tiations and confirmation of its approval
Of the negotiations has been received in a
letter from Senior Silva, the Colombian
minister at Washington, to Admiral Walk
er January IL. In view OF this letter it is
considered that Colombia is offering an
afront TO the United State. by now OPP

These islands are small in territOr
ial extent, in population, and in re-
sources; but they have strategic value,
and our government has preferred that
they should not pass from the control
OF Denmark to that of an ambitious
European naval power. The harbor
Of Charlotte Amale is probably the
most frequented port in the West In
dies, many vessels Of various nationali
ties using It for coaling purposes. The
group consists of the three principal
islands of St. Thomas, st. John, and
Santa Cruz. with numerous smaller
islands and rocky points. The total
population Of the group Is said to be
about thirty-two thousand, Of whom
perhaps only one-sixth are of pure
white blood. The negro population,
however. Is said to be exceptionally
intelligent. The English language is
commonly spoken In the islands, and
general conditions are reputable and
orderly. the climate being healthy and
the productions those of the West In
dies In general. The island of St..
Thomas Is important solely on account
Of the great excellence of the harbor
Of Charlotte Amalie. The island Of
Santa Cruz. however, has an agricul-
tural character. and at one time its

Millions IN Royal Kitchens.

The most costly kitchen belongs to
the Spanish court, the cooking uten-
fils alone having value of nearly
%5, 800. and are of great age. The
kitchen of the shah of Persia is, how
ever, the most valuable in the world.
Even the cooking pots are lined with
gold and the plates and dishes used
at the royal table are of solid gold,
incrusted with precious stones. If it
were possible for the contents of the
shah's kitchen to be put up at auc-
lion they would realize over $1,000,
900.

COSTS NEARLY 100000.
Atlanta Contractor Must Finish |
Handsome Building by September.

Atlanta Contractor Must Finish
Handsome Building by September.
BY Sept. 20 next, the new Germania
Bank to be erected on Bull and Con-
gress streets, will be ready for occu-
pancy. AT a meeting of the bank d.
rectors yesterday the contract was
awarded to Grant wilkins of Atlanta
on a bid of a trifle over $19S00O.
In all there We're ten bidders, and
while some of the bids were lower
than that of the Atlanta contractor,
his was the most desira BILE to the board
of directors. Bruce & Morgan of At
lanta are the architects. The building
will be strictly in accordance with the
first plans, which contemplate the
building of the first two stories in
Georgia marble and the remaining six
in pressed brick to suit. There will he
no difference in the walls on the west
ern and lane sides of the building and
everything viii be uniform.
President Henry Blum said yesterday
that the building will be one of the
handsomest in the city, and in beauty
will rank with the government build
ing. The interior of the building will
be of handsome design, with a lib
eral display of marble. The bank fur
nishings Will be in mahogany, while
on the upper floors the woodwork will
be of oak. The floors through the
building will be of marble thing. All
of the windows will be of plate glass
and the new bank will add very much
to the appearance of the business sec4
ton of the city. The work will be begun
early in January and will be pushed
to rapid completion. The directors de-
termined to ignore the long term bids
on the theory that the additional cost,
because of the short term contract,
would be made up by the early oc-
cupancy of the building.
