PANAMA CANAL
French Court; Decide Two I'm.
portant Points About Legal
ity Of Its Purchase.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The investi-
CATION in Paris of the French Panama
Canal Company's proposed sale of prop
erty. and rights to the United States
has proceeded far enough to justify
strong belief that clear title can be
acquired, and that, in the event of a
satisfactory treaty with Colombia, the
Isthmian canal will be built on the
Panama route. No official of the govern
ment is willing to say this in 80 many
words, however, /and those who are
especially charged with the complex
and difficult inquiry at the French
capital keenly appreciate the fine ques-
tions in law and equity that must be
solved. The French court of law,
which was charged with the protection
of creditors of the failed De Lesseps
Company, and by which the liquidator,
or receiver, was appointed, has decided
at least two of the main points which
the president of the United States has
to consider in his negotiations for the
purchase conditionally authorized by
congress. Inasmuch as the liquidator
appointed by the French court is trus-
tee representing creditors of the former
canal company, who were to receive so
per cent. of the proceeds of canal opera
tions from the Hutin company, it be-
comes serious question whether he
has power to vacate the rights OF these
creditors and substitute therefor an
equitable share in the proceeds of the
present company's sale to the United
States.
1t was also questioned whether the
court had the power to authorize the
trustee to do this. The court has decid-
ed both questions in the affirmative.

The digesters were located in two

diameter. They were for reducing
wood pulp. Eighteen men were at
work in the building.
There were two terrific reports, and
the next instant the building and mills

An alarm of fire was sounded and the

few weeks ago Wall street firm
was agent for coterie Of street rail-
road capitalists In Philadelphia. The
agents held about 5000 shares of stock
for the capitalists on margin--shares
that the Philadelphians were under
moral obligations to control. One day
the agents sent word TO the Philadel-
pllians that those shares must be taken
up at once or they would be thrown
on the market. The New York men
knew that 1t would be impossible for
the Pennsylvanians to take up those
stocks on such short notice. Anticipat-
ing their failure to do So the New York

held. They expected that when the co.
600 shares were cast upon the market
they would be able to buy at still
lower price all that was needed to fill
their own contracts, and that a heavy
gain would be made.
This was a scheme that i'm other years
would have worked, and to the serious
injury of many more than those imme-
diately concerned But new power
had come into Wall street. The Phil
adelphia men took special train to
New York and went to j. Pierpont Nor
gan. They Informed him of their pre-
dicament. ''Tell those fellows to send
that stock In to me-" replied Mr.. Nor
gan at once. The agents We're in de-
SPAR. They were forced to ask for the
twenty-four hours allowed by the Stock
Exchange In such emergencies. Next
morning the agents said that by mis-
take In bookkeeping 1t had been thought
that securities were In New York which
were really In London, and they could
not be delivered for a week or more.
Meanwhile the stock was largely
bought on the Stock Exchange, the
the price went up, and the agents were
forced to buy ut very high prices In
order to deliver the 10000 and other
shares they had agreed to deliver at
reduced prices. The agents had ex-
IRENE difficulty In retaining their seat
on the exchange and some very salu-
tary advice was administered before

FOREST RESERVE
President Issues Proclamation
Creating First Of Conse.
quence in Alaska.

Washington, Aug. 25.-A proclama-
ton was issued by President Roosevelt
during the day, creating the Alexander
Archipelago Forest Reserve. This re-
serve, which is the first of Importance
in Alaska, is situated in the extreme
southeastern part of the territory. and
will comprise Prince of Wales Island
and adjacent islands to the seward,
Chicagof, Kupreanof, Kuiu and Zarem-
DO islands, with many smaller islands
living farther out to sea.
Lieut.. Emmons. of the navy, who is
now engaged in the search for old Rus
sian boundary monuments in Alaska,
once made an examination OF the TIM
her resources of southeastern Alaska
islands. and he urgently recommended
that the Alexander Archipelago be con-
stituted the reservation. lie SAID that
these islands contained most valuable
timber, and that means must be taken
Immediately to prevent depredations.
The recommendation appealed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt strongly, for it is not
foo much to say that he takes more
lively interest in the needs OF Alaska
than any of his predecessors have taken.
None of the bona fide settlers or IN
babitants of Alexander Islands VIII be
deprived of any valid rights he may
nossess either under the Russian regime
or under acts of congress. oeverai
claims have been initiated upon CHI
caoof and Prince of Wales islands, COW
ar;no lands occupied for purposes OF
trade and manufacture, and these
claim. will be respected. Further To-
cations, however, are prohibited, as tne
entire reservation will come under rules
that are prescribed for forest reserves IN
the United States. :.
None of the territory comprised IN
the new reservation has been surveyed
and its area is unknown

washington, Aug. 25.-The burean
OF insular affairs of the war department

instruction for the Philippine islands.
upon charges made in the limited
states against the school system Of the
Islands, alleging that it was used as a
PROSECUTING agency against Catholics
and generally used to the prejudice Of
Catholicism. The charges were for
warded to Manila and the reply was
made to Acting Governor Wright. The
report OF Superintendent Bowen is dat
ed July z, and is general and specific
denial of the charges. He saws that of
20 persons who have been division sun-
erlntendents only one has ever been a
clergyman. Three divisions of this
were superintendent from list submit
ted by leaders of the Roman Catholic
church in the United States. In this
connection the report says:
The question of the religious beliefs
OF applicants and appointees was never
considered until late in 1901. At that
time special lot of applications,
gathered by the authorities of the
United States, was sent to the civil
government of the island. From these
special lists three division superinten-
dents and % teachers were appointed
In reporting these appointments to the
civil government the general superin-
tendent stated:

ing people in this lot of applications
who are possessed of the educational
preparation and teaching experience
which is required of other appointees in
this department. Those who have not
been selected seem to be wholly un-

DANGEROUS ELEMENT.
Coal Operators Uneasy Over For
eign Competition


eign Competition
New York. Aug. pa local coal
journal says that the Welsh coal opera
ors agree to deliver their product at
wharves in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore at from $500
to $6.6S per ton, according to quality.
As this is far below the present price
of anthracite coal, the announcement
has caused much uneasiness among the
American coal operators. If the Welsh
operators carry out their proposition
upon large scale the effect will he to
drive American coal out of the market.
1t is thought that the prospect of Welsh
competition may end the strike quickly.
The anthracite combination has looked
calmly upon the curtailment of produc-
tion because there was every reason to
believe that the increase in price would
yield as large profit as the regular
output at former rates.

MRS. HYATT ARRESTED.
Woman COnfesses to Numbering II er
Baby Girl.


Wilbur. Aug. 22.-Sheriff Gardiner
and his son came in during the evening,
bringing with them as prisoners, Jasper
Hyatt and his wife, charged with the
murder of their infant child, which she
accused an unknown man of killing.
The sheriff covered every road leading
from the old Kaufam place by which
the supposed murderer could have gone,
and interviewed every harvesting outfit
and occupants of farm houses en- route
but without hearing anything of any
stranger answering to the description.
He and his son then drove out to the
home of the Hyatts, where the crime
was committed.
On arrival the sheriff called Hyatt
from the house and read the warrant to
him and placed him under arrest. In
the meantime his son had entered the
house, where the woman was, and after
talking for short time he obtained
full confession from her that she had
murdered the child in weak spell, to
which she was subject, and did not re-
member anything of the particulars and
had no motive for the act.
She said the story about the man was
a fabrication, and that there had been
no one at the house. She does not i'm
picate her husband, and as yet there is
nothing to show that he was aware OF
her act

Madrid, Aug. 23.-The king oontin-

pa;pitation of the heart by his eccentric
conduct. His latest action of a nature
to cause CONSERVATION is his positive
refusal to marry European princess,
as advised by his councillors. He an
nounces his intention of marrying the
daughter of some South American mil
lionaire for the purpose of mending the
impaired finances of the state and with
the further object of reconciling the
Republican element by taking plebian
wife and restoring Spanish prestige in

The king treats his official councillors
with what they deem great contempt.
He listens to very little advice from
anybody and accepts none. The youth
full ruler also horrifies his elders by
proclaiming his views upon all subjects
with the utmost freedom, and in slang
language. He is beginning to be looked
upon as incorrigible.
