the title to the Panama canal prop
erty is perfectly clear, and now
the Government will bend its en-
ergies in negotiating treaty with
Columbia. Columbia offers a lease
for one hundred years, with the
privilege of renewal for another
hundred years, but that is not in
accordance with the canal bill, and
there must be either change in
the Columbian constitution or fur

matter of fact there was much in
it to portend failure. The most
serious development was the dis

to the agreement to arbitrate and
who were not represented at the
meeting, and therefore not bound
to abide by the findings of the

messed by 1bcaI audience was the third
and deciding one OF a series at Herman 8

nights, and upon this one depended the
PURSE 1t was bout for keeps from the
very Arst locking-hcld and the endur-
ance and strength the athletes displayed
through their long tussle. without mo-
ment's intermission, earned them the
applause and encouragement, of a packed
house.
The length OF. the bout establishes q
record for Grant, and his work last night
stamps him as the .cleverest wrestler In
this section, and, as his conqueror an
nounced to the audience afterwArd. "hc
Is undoubtedly the coming wrestler Of
the country"
Parker was on the aggressive through
nearly the whole bout. Time after time
he had haif.Ncisons, leg holds. hanmef-
locks and crotch and arm holds. but
Grant broke away from them all, until
at last both bodies were 30 slippery that
holds were easily broken. Grant was
strong almost to the. last, but finally
succumbed to a bar-Nelson and d head
and arm hold. which shifted to 4 full
double Nelson, from which he could not
get away. and which lost him all
chance Of winning the purse, which by
pre- evious fail ne had one third earned.

wrestled Grant to. draw here several

above bout to a final bout tonight for
