a few days.

Of the Denver Tramway Company, u
the owner of the AK, and he lives at
1924 Clay street, within six blocks OF
the tragedy. While Officer Lindsey was
riding on Bane's car on his way to the
station in North Denver yesterdhy, he
engaged him in conversation regarding
the mystery of the ownership OF the
az. and Bane said that he had lost one
Lindsey persuaded him to come to the
station and inspect the one In the
chiefs possession. Bane, without any
hesitation, assumed its ownership, and
said it was stolen from his barn be-
tween Monday, December 20, and
Thursday, January 2nd.
According to the story told by Bane,
the last time he had used or seen the
az was on Monday afternoon, when
his wife asked him to cut some kind
Ling wood. He complied. left the AZ In
the barn, and had not missed 1t until
Thursday morning, when his wire
asked him where it was. He replied
that it was in the barn and when she
denied this statement he went out and
looked for it and found it gone. After
ward he sent his son to search for II
and the latter returned with hatchet
which he said he found lying in the
place where the ax was usually kept
Bane said he thought nothing further
about the matter and gave this as the
reason for not coming forward before
and claiming the ownership.

CHANDLER WOULD RELIEVE
PRESIDENT OF MANY DUTIES

Mckinley. to whose impaired health
Mr.. Chandler attributes inability to re-
cover from the shock from the assas-
sins bullet.
Mr.. Chandler expressed his regret
that President Roosevelt, even with
his qulckness. his acuteness and his
present untiring industry and energy,
has given countenance to the idea that
he will do all the appointing himself
and hear all that any one has to say
concerning any appointment"
Mr. Chandler thinks that the great
weight of the pressure for office ought
TO fail upon the Cabinet ministers, and
that tho President ought to-have more
time for important things. He adds;
This needed change of custom will
Mt first no doubt, be unpopular. 1t will
be condemned as unrepublican eXclu-
siveness. 1t will require, to begin the
new rule, President who has been n
man of the people, who is known to be
at heart thoroughly democratic in all
his ideas and ways, and who is also
strong in his convictions and is fear
less in his actions. Is not Mr.. Roose-
welt such President? VIII he inaug-

should be made without waiting for
the arrival of Mr.. Lampre. According
ly the cable instructions were forward
ed 10 NJ. Bouefve. He went at once to
the office of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission and advised Admiral Walker
of the determination of the company.
In substance the notification delivered
to Admiral Walker was as follows:
1.-THE Panama Canal Company de
clares itself ready to transfer to the
government of the United States, on
payment of S40,OOO,OOO, its properties
and concessions, estimated ut that
amount by the Isthmian Canal Com
mission. in conformity with the terms
and conditions of the estimates of said
commission"
The offer as made to Admiral Walk
er and later communicated to the
President and secretary of state refers
to the estimates of the Isthmian Com
missions report. This feature of the
commissions report appears under the
caption. Total Value of the Panama
Canal" and 1t is as follows:
Summing up the foregoing items,
the total value of the property is
found to be: Excavation already done,
S27, ,474 ,O33: Panama railroad stock at
par, S6,S5O.OOO; maps, drawings and
records, $2,OOO,OOO. To which add ten
per cent. to cover omissions. making

Washington, Jan. G.-1'he Washing
ton Post prints an interesting article
by ex-Sepator William Il. Chandler,
president of the Spanish Claims Com
mission. entitled. Wanted. by the
United States, President" The article
is a strong argument for reform in
the present methods Of conducting ex-
ceutive business.
Mr.. Chandler asserts that a president
has now only three objects in his NE
first, to see 10000 people year; sec
ond, to accomplish 1000 little things,
and third to try to do 200 great things.
In the seeing of so many thousand peo-
pie about trivial matters, and in giving
his attention to the thousands Of lit
tie things, the President, Mr.. Chandler
insists, is worn out and becomes
physically unable to grapple with the
great problems to which he ought to
give his undivided attention.
Mr.. Chandler cites from personal
knowledge the cases of presidents who
have almost succumbed under the
strain, instancing particularly Presi-
dent Arthur, in whose Cabinet he was
secretary of the navy, and President

Washington, Jan. "a formal prop
0sition to sell the Panama canal prop
critics 10 the United States for $4O.-
100000 was yesterday submitted to the
authorities here. 1t was made by NJ
Bouefve, representing the company, TO
Admiral Walker as chairman of the
Isthmian Canal Commission. NJ
Bouefve acted under cable instruc-
tions from the Panama canal officials
at Paris. Admiral Walker at once
brought the proposition to the knowl-
edge Of the secretary Of state and the
President.
The submission OF this offer carries
out a plan which has been under con-
sideration for the last two weeks. The
first step was taken when NJ. Hutin
retired from the presidency of the
Panama Canal Company. This brought
about an entire change in the manage
ment, the main feature of the change
being that those in authority desired to
make a definite offer Of the Panama
properties to this government for $4O,-
100000. There have been numerous
meetings at Paris with this end in
view, but the one which brought about
the final proposition was held yester-
day. II had been the intention to
make the offer through Edward Lam
pre-, secretary general of the company,
who Is due to arrive at New York to-
morrow; but the meeting appears to
have taken 4 view that the offer

MINT FIGURES ON GOLD
AND SILVER OUTPUT

Washington, Jan. 6-The preliminary
estimate of George b. Roberts, director
of the mint, on the production of gold
and silver in the United States during
the calendar year 1901. Indicates only
a slight gain over the previous year.
The yield of Alaska fell of by about
$1,OOO,OOO. Colorado made slight
gain in gold. and the other producers
were nearly stationary. The yield Of
silver exceeded that of the previous
year by about 100000 fine ounces
The total number of ounces Of fine
gold produced is shown to have been
3,SSO,57S. of the value Of $SO,21S,SOO.
The number of fine ounces of silver
produced was 59,653, 1SS. having COM
mercial value of $50. .792, 200. The coin
age value of the silver is approximate
ly ST., 100000.
