What Offer Includes.

NJ. Lampre was questioned at great
length by the members of the COM

the United States has been to ascertain
to whom to proposition for the sale of
the Panama property should be made.
Having informed himself upon this
point, he had conferred with Admiral
Walker, chairman of the isthmian
canal commission, as to the form of
the offer. He then had cabled to his
principals, the result being that the
offer to sell for $4O,O00,O0O had been

doubt as to whether those now claim

had made their purchase through the
iquidator of the old company, and
that the transfer was regular. In
response to other questions he said
that in case the transaction should
be consummated the money would be
distributed among the members of the
original company and those of the
present organization by arbitration.
He said that the proffer of his COM
pany had been made in good faith, and
that the company was able to "de-
