The controller holds that the postponement
of the date of completing the work does not
operate to postpone the commencement of
rangement of five annual payments was
merely to spread the drain on the local re-
sources over an extended period and to ac-
cumulate a sufficient fund to meet the bo-
nus obligation soon as. the work might
be reported as completed.
The District is complacent under the cir
cumstances. 1t most assured1y has no
money free and in hand with which to pay
these installments to the treasurer, but 1t
has credit with the federal treasury based
upon statutory provisions, and it cheerfuly
accedes to the proposition that the lost in
terest on the bonds which have not yet been
bought because the money to buy them with
has not been forthcoming should serve as
a set-off against the interest which it would
be required to pay to the United States il

The United States on the Isthmus.

The events in Panama have from the
outset tended to smooth the way of the
secessionists TO the early establishment OF
n de facto government. The action of the
T-rited States today in granting formal
recognition of the new republic is based
uTon the facts as they stand, and upon
Substantial grounds in international pro-
cedurc
At present Colombia is without vestige
of authority in the isthmus. The insurrec-
ton was sc secretly planned and so sud-
denly announced that the Bogota govern
ment was evidently taken unawares. The
CAPTURE and subsequent expulsion of Its
troops by the secessionists removed from
the scene its means of preserving a show
of power. 1t Is not doubted that If the
Bogota authorities had obtained the least
notion of the imminence of a formidable
revolt the isthmus would have been
crowded with troops under reliable com
manders to check the first signs of seces-
sion.
The policy of the United States is pretty
clearly established 1t will keep the rail-
road open and prevent. if possible, any
damage to the railroad and the harbors
which are necessary for its operation. In
1891 it laid down the rule. greatly to the
dspleasure of the Colombians. that the
government should not transport its troops
over the railroad for fear the insurgents
would attack trains bearing them and dam
age the line or destroy the tracks to prevent
such anticipated movements of troops
That will doubtless be the practice in this
case.
The United States has in effect declared
the canal strip and it's terminals neutral
territory 1t would do much as this If
Colombia were in physical possession and
were being attacked by another power or
were resisting the assaults of insurgents
This government is executing the treaty OF

The B. and o. Bonus Riddle.

Reduced TO its simplest terms Controller
Traceweli's answer to the Commissioners
queries to the Baltimore and Ohio bonus
is as follows: The District undoubtedly is
under tie requirement to pay S1o0.UU on &C
count Of that bonus in 1--WE annual INSTALL
ments beginning July |. 1901. the United
States treasurer acting trustee; that the
District has not paid any of these INSTALL
ments and therefore has lost such interest
as it might have earned under the treasu-
rer's instruction to invest this money in
bonds; but that this loss is merely "nomi-
nar' inasmuch as IL the District had paid
the installments it would have been with
money borrowed from the United States at
two le" cent interest. Thus the whole mat
ter may bee regarded "stand-off.
The controller holds that the union station
act OF 1895 was an amendment and extern
sion OF the original Baltimore and Ohio act
of 1901 and that whatever obligations were
imposed upon the District or the govern
ment 10y the earlier statute have not been
lessened. unless specifically stated, by
the Later enactment. The controller finds "a
question to the distinct requirement in
the construction of the viaduct. as the case
row stands. but inasmuch as the compa-
MES have themselves partitioned the work
between them and this issue does not af-
feet the public interests it is not likely that
his doubt will result in proceedings.
The only flaw in. the record is that
through some ones inattention the Dis
tricts account with the United States was
so drawn on the LIST OF July. 1901 that the
first annual installment of the Baltimore
and Ohio bonus rot set forth as a
debit against the District and a credit to
the treasurer as trustee of the bonus fund.
