CANAL co. WOULD ARGUE.
Some Other Nation Believed to Be.
Behind the Scenes in the Canal
Deal.

Washington, Feb 24.-Attorney General
Knox has received a cable message. dated
Paris from President 30 of the New Pan
ANA Canal company, saying that William
Nelson Cromwell of New York. the general
counsel of the company. had full power
to answer the message of Mr.. Knox clos
ing the option given to the United States
until March to purchase the rights and
properties of the company for $40, 900. 900.
Mr.. Cromwell. who is here, received a dis
patch from President Bo, informing him
that he had full authority to answer Mr..
Knox.
The action of the Panama Canal COM
pany is disappointing, as the administra-
ton hoped that its closing of the option
under the condition that the money should
be paid Jpn the ratification of the canal
treaty by Colombia and the United States
would be accepted directly by the com
pany. ~
Mr.. Cromwell declines to discuss the
subject. but 1t Is understood that he will
advance some proposition with the hope
of effecting a compromise beneficial to
the company. He will insist, 1t Is be-
lieved. that the deal with this government
be closed definitely before March 4 when
the option will expire, and will combat the
contention of the government that 1t is
not necessary to pay the $4,000, 600 on or
before March 4.
The government holds that in closing the
option the terms Of the arrangement with
the Panama company were complied with
and that 1t Is not necessary that the
money be paid until after the treaty has
been ratified by both governments con-
cerned.
There is growing belief that some out
side influence is at work in an effort tc
prevent the contamination OF the deal
and that some other nation is attempting
to block the canal scheme.

Changed Plans,

Chicago. Feb. 24.-Plans are complete
for the merging Of the interests In the
beef trust, April will see the official an
nouncement of the Incorporation OF Sc
curities holding company which eventually
may control the meat trade of the world
However, for the time being, 1t is not to
embrace everything in sight, nor is 1t to
be capitalized at $5o0,000,0o0, as an
nounced for the United States Packing
company. Further, the plans contemplate
no friction with the federal courts because
of the recent decision by Judge Crosscup
against the packing house combination.
The nucleus is to be the merger, Of the
smaller independent plants bought last
year by the 4big packers preparatory to
the general merger planned at that time.
The securities to be held by the new
CORPORATION are those of the G. H. Ham
mond Packing company, the Omaha Pack
ing company, the Anglo-American-Fl Flower
companies, the st. Louis Beef company
and the United Dressed Beef company
and possibly several of the outside stock
yards now controlled by the Chicago in
terests. Chicago will be the headquarters.
The slate is said to contain the names
Of ]. c.. Melvin and J. P. Lyman OF the
Hammond company, Frederick Cowan OF
he Anglo-American and E. F. Robbins OF
the Omaha Packing company. 1t Is not
known definitely what will be the capital
but it Is thought the figure will be some
thing like $50, 100000.
