subcommittee, to be clear and free
from any complications. For a transfer
of its concessions to the United States,
the consent of Colombia is requisite,
but this consent has oeen given By the
government Of that country as fully
as it can now be given In case Of pur-
chase Of the canal by the United States.
different concessions and different
rights must be obtained by treaty be-
tween this country and Colombia, and
such a treaty would necessarily involve
a consent To the sale by the company of
its rights and property on-the isthmus
10 the United States.
Such a treaty Colombia has shown
and declared its readiness to make. In
every other point the right of the new
Panama Canal company TO transfer its
property to the United States is per-
fectly clear. Every link in the chain
of its title and every step in the course
by which il became in a position to
sell its property. free and clear, is
plain and satisfactory
Says the Title is Good.
The report then reviews the entire
origin and history of the Panama Canal

a French court in a straightforward
way when that company became in

The various objections to the new
cOmpany's title are then considered and
replied to. The following explanation
is made Of the reasons why the new
company should desire 10 sell.
Under the title thus acquired the
new company took up the work and
continued it until a large part of its
capital had been expended. tt would
become necessary 10 raise funds for
the completion Of the canal from the

danger menaced IL in the announced in
tention Of the United States to build an
isthmian canal.
Investors could be induced to fur

profitable return. But if the canal must

RUSSlA'S WARNING is
C0UCHED IN CORDIAL TERMS

ST. Petersburg. March 19.-The Of
fetal Messenger tomorrow will print
the text Of a Russo French convention
joint declaration, sent March is to the
Austrian. Belgian, British, American,
Spanish. German. Italian, Dutch, Chi
nese and Japanese governments. The
declaration is as follows:
THE allied Russo French govern
ments are wholly pleased to discern
that the Anglo-Japanese convention
supports the essential principles which,
according TO the reiterated statements
Of France and Russia. constituted and
still constitute the foundation of their
policy.
Both governments believe that the
support OF these principles is also a
guarantee of their interests in the far
east. They are compelled, however, not
TO lose from view the possibility of in
imical action OF other powers, or a rep
etition of disorders in China, possibly
impairing China's integrity and free
Development. TO the detriment of their
reciprocal interests. They, therefore,
reserve to themselves the right to take
measures to defend these interests"
The predatory remarks say that RUS
STA desires the maintenance of the
status quo and the attainment of com
plete tranquility in the far east.
