From the beginning down to June 30, 1900 the work cost s, 736. 743, of which Colonel Bankhead has secured $l,- 100000 since he became the Alabama member of the rivers and harbors com mittee, not counting the $400, 900 which he got through the House but which failed of final passage in the last Congress. The present appropriation. of half million will run Mobiles total to S4.236,743 and not dollar too much. This years amount is s15O,000 ill excess of government engin. eers' recommendation, and but half million more will complete the present plans of improvement.
 The exports of Mobile for the year 1901 in the three commodities of cotton, lum- Der and timber amounted to All, Al tons.
 The proposed general improvement of the Coosa river assumed shape thirty -one years ago, and since then the total. amount expended on it by the government has amounted to s136O, 3O6 of which s979,- 793 has been expended between Rome, Ga. and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad bridge in Alabama, and s3S0,513 between that bridge and Wetump- ka. To complete the project would cost $6.074,913, not one dollar of which the com bined efforts of five of the nine congress- men from Alabama could induce the pres ent rivers and harbors com mittee to re- commend.

Check to Negotiations Caused
 by Her Pscuniary Efforts
CANAL Go. NOT ALARMED
M. -ampre Says There Is No Cause for the Company to Be Disturbed Over Obstacles Presented
 By Colombia.

Washington, March Tt is gathered from inquiry here, addressed to persons familiar with the triangular negotiations that have been in progress between the United States government, the govern ment of Columbia and representatives Of the Panama Canal Company, that the government of Colombia holds the Key to the situation and is therefore responsi- ble for the check to the negotiations Colombia is now believed to have determ- ined to make an effort to secure much more favorable terms and vastly greater pecuniary consideration in return for what she will give than the protocol, as prepared by Minister Silva, contemplated. If this additional compensation cannot be secured from the United States then the plan is to have recourse to the Panama Canal Company and in some manner to obtain a portion of the sum of $40, OOOOOO which the United States government is to pay for the works and franchise, if 1t decides upon the Panama route. The United States government has refused, or will absolutely refuse to enter into any agreement in the protocol with Colombia which even indirectly sanctions the spoil ation of the stockholders of the com pany.
 M Lampre, the secretary general of the new Panama Canal Company, refer ing to yesterdays cablegram from Paris on the action of the Colombian govern ment, today said to a representative of the Associated Press:
 There Is no cause for the Panama Canal Company to be disturbed by the news you refer to- l understand that the Colombian government only wishes to remind the company that its negotiations with the United States should not be closed until the two governments of the United States and Colombia have finally agreed on the lines of the treaty which is at the present time being prepared. Our company has been acting on the au- thority given 1t by the Colombian minis ter in this city almost a year ago, and there is no reason to believe that the Panama Company will not come to a sat- isfactory understanding with the Colom- bian government. As a matter of fact, the board of directors in Paris already has taken steps to that effect through the company's representative at Bogota.' | M. Lampre said he had received cable | gram from his company in complete harmony with his views as expressed | above.
