4 Comment has been made on the
small amount-between $4,000 and
$35, 00O-left by Sir Walter Besant. It
may. however, be safely asserted. that
except Sir Walter Scott, no novelist
has ever made such sums as would be
regarded by men in the money market
as wealth. SCOTS income averaged
for years $4,000 year. Dickens left
100000; Thackeray less; Bulwer
Lytton, with very keen eye for the
main chance and considerable but
encountered estate, 100000.

that the offer should be made without

Accordingly the cable instructions
were forwarded to NJ. Boeufvc. He
went at once to the office of the 18TH

determination of the company.
The Notification.
In substance the notification deliv-

commission, In conformity with the terms
and conditions of the estimates of said
commission
Except to submit the proposition
in the foregoing terms there was no
discussion with Admiral Walker as to
what further steps were likely to be
taken except to bring the proposition
to the attention of the secretary of
state and the president.
Admiral Walker called at the state
department at noon and communicate
ed to Secretary Hay the offer which
M. Boeufve had submitted in behalf of
the canal company. The matter was,
soon after, brought to the attention
Of the president.
President to Notify Congress.
It can be stated that the president
will communicate the communication
to congress. This course will be pur-
sued because the administration
holds that the canal question is now
purely one for legislative determina-
ton, and that as congress is about to
consider the subject it should have
possession of all facts that have come
to the knowledge of the executive
branch.
The offer as made to Admiral Walk

president and secretary of state. re-
fers to the estimates of the isthmian
commissions report. This feature of
the commissions report appears un-
