Plumb Puddings for Xmas.

London, Dec. lS-It is estimated
that during the past two or three
weeks the steamships leaving England
have carried upwards of 800 tons of
plum pudding, or roughly speaking
about no, coo puddings. To an Eng
lishman Christmas dinner without
plum pudding would be like produc-
tion of Hamlet without the melan-
choly Dane, and the Britain's weak
ness in this particular is one that al
ways sticks to him even though he
migrates to the end of the earth. As
the holiday season approaches each
year tons of festive pudding find their
way from London all over the world.
A large proportion are sent as Christ
mas presents to friends in the United
States. Many hundreds of them go to
Canada, Australia and South Africa.
The puddings are packed in tins and
sent by parcels post as a rule An in
terview with the manager of the best
known firm of plum pudding makers
develops the fact that many more
plum puddings are being sent to the
United States this year than hereto
fore owing to the abolition of the
duty of nearly 30 per cent. which
formerly prevailed. The orders come
from all parts of America, several
having come from as far west as San
Francisco and Seattle.

Senator Morgan questioned NJ Lampre
especially concerning the interest of the
stockholders of the old aPn- American
Canal Company in the pending transac-
tion. NJ. Lampre stated that under the
agreement of the. new company with the
old company, the stockholders of the
latter concern would receive 0per cent
of the proceeds of the sale. He said
that under the original subscription
agreement of the old company, the stock
holders had been entitled to interest
amounting to five per cent per annum on
their subscription even while the canal
was under course of construction, but
that the interest had been suspended
when the old company went into liqui.
dation. He also said that an agreement
had been reached with the liquidator as
the representative of the old company.
that in case Of the sale of the property
he should appoint two arbitrators while
the new company appointed two. these.
four to select the fifth, and that all five
should unite in making equitable distri-
button of the proceeds of The sale.
He contended that under the French
law the new company had a perfect
right to make the transfer, notwith-
standing the interest of the old COM
pany. Il WISH" he said, Ito make this
perfectly clear and want the committee
to understand that the new company is
entitled to make a clear and perfect
transfer TO the United States 1t would
be Legitimate TO make the transfer with
out the interference of the old company
but to make the way perfectly clear and
to prevent any possible ENHANCEMENT
we made an agreement With the liquida-
tor Of the. old canal company to the eff
feet that we should have absolute au-
thority to deal directly with the gov
ernment Of the United States.">
Did you make similar ARRANGEMENT
with the liquidator of the bondholders 2"
asked Senator Morgan.
In response to this inquiry, NJ Lampre
said he did not appear in the agreement.
but he gave the liqudator of the old
company authority to enter into the
agreement"
csnator oMrgan: Gould the new
company sell the property and put the
proceeds in its pocket and not share
them with the old company"
NJ. Lampre; Yes, it could do so un-
der the authority of the stockholders
meeting"
Senator Morgan: "Then the transac-
ton between the two canal companies
must have been a sale to the company
without reference to the bonds and the
stock held by the old company"
nj, Lampre:s -s..Xaa, II was a sale. but
one of the conditions Of the transaction
was that we should give 60 per cent of
the proceeds to the old COMPANY"
M. Lmapre said that of the 10000
shares of stock of the Panama Railroad
Company, the new Panama Canal Conn
pany owns 6S,5S4, and that the railroad
company had last year paid dividends
TO the canal company amounting to 400,-
