MIR. cRoMwELL's STATEMENT.
Acquisition Of Canal Company Assur.
ed to the United States.

MIR. Cromwell the attorney In this coun-
try Of the Panama Canal Company, has
made the following statement relative to
the understanding Of the company with
Attorney General Knox:
1T gives me satisfaction to confirm the
fact that after the fullest exchange of views
I have reached a complete understanding
with the Attorney General upon the points
involved in the contract for the purchase
by the United States of the Panama canal
and properties. 1 have, therefore, today,
under the full powers and discretion with
which the company vested me- reached a
satisfactory understanding with the gov
ernment upon all points, and have signed
and delivered the documents which make
the contract complete and binding upon the
government and the canal company. This
action absolutely assures to the United
States the acquisition ard completion Of the
Panama canal as well as the control of the
railroad The rest is only matter Of detail
and of time
THE only delay now in the taking Of ac-
tual possession by the United States arises
from the necessary formalities Of ratifica
States and Colombia: but in the meantime
the Panama Canal Company will continue
the work of construction upon the isthmus
in accordance with the plans Of the 18TH
mian canal commission, and keep the work
ing forces in steady operation up to the
Gay that the United States takes actual
charge
Action in the United States is assured
by the convening of the Senate in extra
session. If the extra session had not been
called, as has been SO wisely done by the
President, I am convinced that the United
States would have lost the present oppor-
tunity Of securing exclusive control of
ship canal connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans
"As to Colombia, my advices satisfy me
that while the treaty has disappointed their
expectations in several respects, it will be
ratified in it's present form by the new
congress, for which elections now TAX
ing place. The Panama canal has now be-
come the American canal"

superior In knowledge. Frank Johnson
who has been private secretary to Gen.
Spaulding for a number of years, will not
remain In that same position with Mr..
Armstrong but will be assigned to special
work in the customs department. He, too,
will become a special agent of the customs
service, for which his long experience and
wide information especially fit him.
General Shaking Up.
The induction of Mr.. Armstrong as as
sistant secretary, in charge Of customs
matters. brings with 1t a general shaking
up of affairs in the customs department Of
the treasury, and there is more to come.
John r. Garrison. whose resignation as
auditor for Porto Rico has been accepted,
to take effect March 81, has been offered.
and has accepted, the position of chief of
the customs division, to succeed Andrew
Johnson, who has filled that place for some
time. Mr.. Garrison is well known in Wash
ington, and has made a most creditabie
record as auditor for Porto Rico. He was
identified with the treasury prior to going
to Porto Rico.
, Andrew Johnson is to be made assistant
chief of the customs department Of the
treasury. s. N. Buynitzky, the present as
sistant chief, is in i'll health and will be
given a clerkship. There will be some
other changes in the same Office.
The position held by Frank johnson as
law clerk and private secretary to Gen.
Spaulding is to be taken by James l..
Gerry, now a law clerk in the customs d.
vision and a man whose record Is excel
lent. A number OF changes have been de
cided on in the force of special agents
but these will not be announced for the
present. The efficiency of the customs
service in all the important cities has Deen
quietly investigated, and while Secretary
Shaw says he is neither a reformer nor a
headsman, it is learned that he has in
mind a number of changes of more or less
Importance. A few days ago j. P. Spill.
man, assistant appraiser in New York wa&
asked to resign, and no reason was given
for the action of the treasury, ''the good
of the service" being assigned.
Some Promotions.
The all-around shaking up has resulted
in some promotions that are commended.
N. G. Van Dorm has been selected as pri-
vate secretary to Assistant Secretary Arm
strong. Mr.. Van Dorm has been in New
York for some time in the customs office
there. Before going to New York he was
a clerk in the Office Of the controller Of the
been receiving the congratulations of num-
erous friends
No specific charges have been made at
any time against Andrew johnson, chief of
the customs division. Secretary Shaw con-
cluded that the service would be benefited
by the introduction of new and younger
blood in that department.; also by putting
in a man of known executive ability and
thorough knowledge of customs. Mr.. john
son has been in this department for many
years and stands high. 1t is believed by
treasury officials. however. that change
will be useful.

BILE for Westfeldi Wreck.

ELIZABETH. N. fJs. March 4.-The Union
county grand jury, which has been conduct
ing an inquiry into the wreck on the New
Jersey Central railroad near .Nsestfield on
January 27, today made q presentment to
Judge Vail. The grand jury finds that
Engineer Davis Of the Philadelphia and
Reading train, which crashed into the east
ern local express, was primarily responsible
for the wreck, he having PASSED signals set
against him, but that a lealy injector had
enveloped his cab with steam, ebscuring his
view.
The jury says that the cars were of an
cient make and. weakly put tosether, and
that they were heated by coal stoves. The
railroad officials. they add, should have no.
titled Davis at Jersey City that the eastern
local would take the main rack, or falling
in this, should have notified him at Eliza
zeth.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 4.-Increas-
Ing numbers of Bulgarian revolutionary

frequency Of stiff encounters between them

The inhabitants appear not only to be
sheltering these bands, but to be Informing

l.
The school board and the people
of Corvallis are confronted with an
old problem. There are more
school children in this town than
facilities in the way of buildings
for their accommodation. Mr.. Hout
of the school board said yesterday:
I'VE haven't room for the pupils
we now have. We are crowding
fifty and sixty children into rooms
built to accommodate only IS and
40 pupils. We have had use of the
old Evangelical church building
for the primary grade. but the
chances are that it will not be avail
able hereafter Besides, it is not
fitted for school purposes. We need
at least three additional rooms at
the present time, and we are going
to ask the people of the district to
make provision for them
In June. the matter will be sub
mitted to vote. It is probable
than an issue of bonds will be ask

been perfected, but the board is
working every day on them. The
district owns block of land near
the Southern Pacific station. A
building could be erected there, if
thepeopfe desired it. That would pro-
baby make the erection of an ad-
ditiona1 building in the northern
part of town, necessary. The lat
ter would make the purchase OF
land necessary, and with two build
ings, involve considerable outlay.
Still this is one plan the board is
considering. There is talk also o.
building an addition to the present
edi6ce.
The new school law provides fol
the regular annual election in June
By that time the board will have
several plans to submit, and the
people be given opport unity by
popular vote to select one or reject
them all At the present time, in
cluding the measles contingent, the
school has 400 pupils.

VESTS RECENT JERSEY IMPORTA-
TIONS

Mr. Harry West, proprietor of Sunnyside
Stock Farm, Scappoose, Ore, has made
some noteworthy additions to his famous
herd of Jersey cattle. He attended the Case
& Walker sale of imported Jesseys, held at
Rushville, Indiana, April 2S. At this sale
he secured the highest priced cow, Golden
Ferris Rose Fern, for which he paid $500.
He also secured the second highest priced
BULL Ferns Prize, for which he paid $500.
Mr.. West also bought at this sale five young
Jersey COWS and heifers mentioned below.
All of the stock purchased by Mr.. West at
this sale is strong in the blood of the famous
bull, Golden Ferns Lad sire of the imported
bull, Flying Fox, which brought $500 at
the Cooper sale last year. Of Golden Ferns
Lad, Mr.. John A. Perree, the secretary of
the Island Herd-Book Association of the
Island of Jersey, wrote:
