tectives and a postoffice inspector ar
rested seven men today on the charge

many persons who had previously in

PANAMA CANAL COMPANY
Officials Are Keeping Quiet Con-
eerninG Their Plans.

Paris. February 21.-The officials of
tanning rigid reserve concerning
their plans. One of the chief officers
said it was considered of the utmost
Importance, owing to the delicate stage
of the negotiations not to throw any
thing into the discussion which might
unfavorably affect the results.
At the company's headquarters great
activity has been shown since the re-
ceipts of the advices from Attorney
General Knox accepting the company's
offer for the sale of it's property sub
ject to the ratification Of the United
States senate. Persons in position to
know the course of the negotiate do
not consider the attitude of the COM
pany antagonistic to the position of
the United States. In American quar-
terS having exceptional means of Cb-
tanning information, it is believed that
recent developments seek to confirm the
reports ofGerman interests IN the hal
project. One Of the leading Officers Of
a French financial institution recently
made it known to an American Official
that the private German investments
in Panama securities were assuming
significant proportions. 1t was dis
tinctly stated in this connection tE1t
the German government is entirely un-
connected with the movement, al
though the names of important person.
ages in the imperial government are
mentioned among those who have be-
come recent investors. But the view
prevails among Americans here that
such foreign movement will be futile
as the officials are confident that the
present obstacles to the negotiations
will be overcome.
