pany is ready to transfer to the United
states on payment Of $400o0,00O its
properties and concessions connected
with the Panama route across the 18th
mus Admiral Walker stated the prop
ostion would be brought to the know
president today.
Paris, Jan. 4.-The directors OF the
Panama Canal Company today, after a
brief session, came to a definite decision
to offer to cell canal property to the
United States for S40,000,000. The price
includes excavations, canal railroad.

in the Isthmian commissions report.
The company's representative at Wasll-

offer to the president.
Admiral Walker called at the state
department at noon to communicate TO
Secretary Hay the offer which NJ.
Boeufve submitted in behalf Of the CO.
nal company. The matter was soon af
ter brought to the attention of the pres
ident 1t can be stated the president
Will communicate the proposition to
congress. This course will be pursued
because the administration holds the
canal question is now purely one for
Legislative determination, and that as
congress- is about to consider the sub
ject it should have possession OF all the
facts that have come to the knowledge

and is not going to break his record
now. Despite the pressure from his
friends to induce him to authorize his
candidacy, 1t is probable that he will
maintain to the end his present attitude.
The most that he has so far said to his
friends Is that IL the republicans OF Illi-
nois flnd themselves embarrassed In
making a selection from the three or
four good men who are now candidates
for the senatorship, and should happen
to turn to him for solution Of the
problem, he would not gay them nay.
This is as far as Mr.. Gage is likely to
go at any stage Of the campaign.
The suggestion brought forward by
certain Illinois republicans OF their own
motion has been heard of and discussed
in pollttcal circles here. 1t Is agreed
on all sides that the republican party of
Illinois could not do better than to
choose Mr.. Gage for senator. President
Roosevelt long ago decided to stand
perfectly neutral in the Illinois senator
ial contest, and to insist that federal
otficeholders shall not use their official
influence in favor OF any candidate.
At the same time 1t is known that he
would be very glad to Mr.. Gage come
to the senate For the ability and char
acter of his present secretary OF the
treasury he has the highest respect
and in his opinion Mr. Gage would
make strong and useful member of
the upper branch OF congress.
Members Of the cabinet who have
served with Mr.. Gage are warm IN his
praises They know nothing of I'LL
nois politics. and OF course do not pre-
sumo even to suggest what the republi-
cans Of that state should do. But they
all feel certain that If Mr.. Gage were to
come to the senate he would at once
take high rank in that body.
