Washington. Jan. ia fact that IL
rather startling to the advocates OF the
French Panama canal scheme developed
at the meeting of the Isthmian Canal
Commission this morning. A large block
of the Panama Railroad stock Is held by
Americans. most of whom are residents
of New York. 1t appears that several of
these have served notice of their refusal
to part with their stock or to agree with
the proposed sale of the property. The sit
uation of these stockholders under the con-
struction of French law is such that their
acquiescence in the sale and their sigma
lures to transfer are necessary to pass a
perfect title to the United States.
This. it is said. is the first direct evidence
produced of the inability of the Frenchmen
to give a clear. sound title to their proper
ty, as they have no control over the actions
of the American stockholders.
The United States have from the first
maintained that they are to take over the
Panama Canal, they must also have the
Panama Railroad

out their holdings to the United States for

NEW OBSTACLE TO THE ADOPTION OF

Whom Refuse Agree Proposed Sale of Property
Title Without Their Consent Out of the Question

the majority of the stock of which is held
by the canal company. Their inability TO
deliver the whole of the stock would. 1t Is
claimed. invalidate their entire offer.
The visit of Admiral Walker and ex-
Senator Pasco of the Canal Commission
to New York, whence they have just re-
turned. was to make n special effort to
solve this question. but 1t is said that they
made no progress.
At the request Of the Isthmian Canal
Commission. William Nelson Cromwell.
counsel for the Panama Railroad Company.
and E. NJ. Drake. vice president of that
railroad to-day appeared before the COM
mission for the purpose of explaining the
situation.
This phase of the case has not hereto
fore been made public in any of the hear
ings before the Senate Committee or else
where, and it is thought that the French
representatives have either overlooked or
concealed the situation.
Several Senators who have heretofore
been inclined to favor the Panama Canal
have learned these facts and are beginning
to believe that Senator Morgan is correct
in his contention that it will be impossible
for the United States to secure valid
title to that property.

UnOccupied Lands.

lnOccupied Lands.
Washington, Jan. 16-Indian Commission
er Jones to-day made a statement before

relative to the leasing of unoccupied lands
on Indian reservations. He said the In

isting laws.

kota. He said that on the Uintah Reser-
walton the Florence Mining Company had
negotiated with the Indians for a lease of
$40 acres Of land, whenever the company
should make its location, and that this
permit was now before the Secretary of
the Interior for approval.
He also said that grazing leases cover
ing about 100000 acres in the Standing
Rock Reservation had been effected and
We're before the Secretary. He said that
those last named leases covered only the
western portion of the reservation, which
is practically not occupied, and is graZ-d
upon without compensation to the Indians,
whereas under the proposed lease they are
to bc~1enced. and the Indians to re-
ceive three cents an acre for them.
