ARE ANXIOUS 70 UNLOAD.
A Deflnitive Proposition Made By
the French Panama Canal
Company.
OUTFIT OFFERED FOR FORTY MILLIONS
The President win Communicate
the Proposition 60 Congress- the
Canal Question BEING Now One
for Legislative Consideration and
Determin alton.

Washington, Jan. A formal
proposition TO sell the Panama canal
properties to the United States gov
ernment for Si0,00o,0 900 was submitted
TO the authorities here. IL was made
by NJ. Boeufve. representing the COM
pany, to Admiral Walker, as chair
man of the Isthmian canal commits
sion. NJ. Boeufve acted under cable
instructions received from the Pana-
ma canal officials at Paris. Admiral
Walker brought the proposition to
the knowledge Of the secretary Of
state and the president, going direct
ly to the state department for that
purpose.
The submission OF this offer car
ries out n plan which has been under
consideration for the last two weeks.
The first step was taken when NJ.
Hutin retired from the presidency Of
the Panama Canal Co. This brought
about an entire change in the man
agement, the main feature of the
change being that those in authority
desired to make n definite offer OF
the Panama properties to this gov
eminent for Sl0,00O,Ooo. There have
been numerous meetings at Paris
with this end in view, but the one
which brought about the final propo-
sition was held Friday. In substance,
the notification delivered TO Admiral
Walker was as follows:
THE Panama Canal CO., declares IT.
self ready to transfer 20 the govern
ment Of the United States, on pay
ment of $4,000, 900. its properties and

concessions, es timated at that amount
by the Isthmian canal 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 dis
cussion with Admiral Walker as 20
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 eommunicat-
ed TO Secretary Hay the offer which
NJ. Boeufve had submitted in behalf
of the canal company. The matter
was, soon after, brought to the atten-
tion of the president.
1t can be stated that the president
will communicate the proposition TO
congress. This course will be pur-
sued because the administration
holds that the canal question Is now
purely one for Legislative determine
ton, and that as congress is about Ia
consider the subject il should hav,
possession of all facts that hav,
come to the knowledge of the execu
tive branch.
The offer as made TO Admiral Walk
er, and later communicated TO tn
president and secretary of state, re
fers TO the estimates of the IsthmiaI
canal commissions report. Thi
feature of the commissions repor
appears under the caption ''rota

THE Jim CROW" LAW.
Why II Was Introduced How
Practiced at HagerStOwn.

TIdStt@Cu at lld&SEStOWH.
ANNAPOLIS. Jan. l5.-There can be
but little doubt that the SO. called Jim
Grow" law to regulate travel. is ex-
tremely popular IN the Legislature, and
that it would be enacted if the men,
bers were left 20 themselves. The hand
of the railroad has not yet been raised
in opposition, but its agencies are ex.
pected when the time comes. 1t is, of
course. to be anticipated that the solid
Republican vote will be cast against it.
although it has been stated here that
the bill was prepared by Republican.
The reason given for the introduction
of the jim Crow bill by member from
the lower Eastern Shore is the conduct
vania and Norfolk road. This road runs
through the two Eastern Shore coun-
ties of Virginia, where "a Jim Grow law
Is in force. Trains coming from Cape
Charles have the cars divided into sep
arate compartments for whites and
blacks. As soon as the Maryland line
is reached. all the negroes. with one ac-
cord. leave their own compartments and
crowd i'll upon the whites. often in a
most objectionable and offensive man.

part of the country says white passen-
gers are frequently put to the expense
of going in the Pullman cars IN self
protection.
A gentleman from Hagerstown calls
attention TO the curious fact that on one
road Jim Crow law is already in force
in Maryland. although he is at loss to
understand by what authority it is en-
forced The Shenandoah Valley rail-
road extends from Hagerstown, Md, to
Roanoke. Va About 10 miles of this
road Is in Maryland and about the same
length III West Virginia, where there is
no Jim Crow law. But the Norfolk and
Western road enforces the Virginia law
throughout its entire length. A colored
passenger who gets into the train at
Hagerstown Is compelled TO take the
compartment for oioreo people. Some
time ago coloreo preacher was ejected
from white car on THIS road at Charles
