Admiral Walker General Hains and Professor
Burr, which visited the Isthmus of Panama TO in
spect the work and property of the New Panama
Canal Company has returned to Washington.
The mission OF the committee was achieved
quicker than was expected. The committee found
that. while the canal company has about twelve
hundred men employed the work, little IN defl-
mite or effective way is being accomplished Just
enough work is being done 10 keep the pro1ecl
alive Members of the committee say the ratilce-
ton Of the canal treaty by the United States SEN
ate received enthusiastically by the people on
the isthnlus Property values increased rapidly
and real estate along the route of the canal con-
tinues to rise.
On arrival the isthmus the members OF the
committee let it be known that their mission was
purely cne OF engineering. and that. individually
or collectively, they had nothing to do with the
political or diplomatic phases of the situation
Some valuable data gathered, and will De
reported TO the full commission. Subsequently, on
the appointment of the commission, which will su-
pervise the construction of the waterway. the IN
formation will be presented to II
Members of the committee Of the opinion that
the treaty will eventually be ratified by the CO.

No official confirmation has been received Of the

WORK ON FINANCIAL BILL.
Details Informally Discussed by Senators
Aldrich, Allison and Spooner.

Washington. May 9--Senators Aldrich, ALI
son and Spooner, of the subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Finance, spent two days
this week at the Virginia Hot Springs discuss
ing some of the details of the proposed financial
legislation to be brought to the attention of
Congress next winter. Senator Platt of Con-
mittee, was not present.
Neither Senator Allison nor Senator Spooner
who returned to Washington after the confer
ence, would discuss for publication the Nork or
the subcommittee 1t is understood, however
that little was accomplished at the meeting THIS
week Financial legislation discussed In
an informal way only Plans were made for
future meetings of the subcommittee, and ar
rangements were completed for laying the fullest
possible information relating TO the proposed
legislation before the full committee.
Senator Spooner said to-day that it would be
rnanifestly. improper for the members OF the
committee to discuss publicly in advance of
definite conclusions the work being done as
such discussion would serve no useful pur-
pose and would tend materially TO embar-
rass the committee. It is the purpose OF the
Republican members of the subcommittee TO
hold a series of meetings at which the whole
subject of financial legislation will be consld-
cred exhaustively. The meetings will be held,
in accordance with the resolution authorizing
an investigation. wherever the members may
desire They will be held at places in the East
most convenient for the members who will pass
the summer in that section.
Senator Allison has started for his Iowa home,
but will return 10 the East as soon as arrange
uents are completed for the next meeting Of
