pro"ement on the Munson tent. which was de-
signed by another army officer. II has a special
provision for ventilation. and the interior arrange

effected by a double tier OF cots, after the

LOUBET IN ROME.
W4RM WELCOME GIVEN.
King at Station-POpe FrornS on
ATTEMPTED Clerical Protest

Rome April 24-President Loubet, accom-
panied by the Foreign Minister. NJ. Delcasse.
and distinguished party of French officials
arrived in Rome to-day to return the visit Of
King Victor Emmanuel TO Paris in October last.
They were met at the station by the King, who
was accompanied by the Duke of Genoa, the
Count Of Turin and other court officials. At
the station also were the members OF the Ital
ian Cabinet. representatives of the Senate and
Chamber Of Deputies and all the high officers
OF state.
As the President stepped from the train the
Prince OF Colonna, Mayor of Rome, formally
welcomed him on behalf Of the city.
The King and the President embraced and
kissed each other, while the ''NIarsenlaise" was
played by several bands. The drive to the
Quirinal then began. 1t had the appearance OF
a triumphal procession. ending in great out
burst of enthusiasm at the palace where Presi-
dent Loubet, King Victor Emmanuel, Queen
Helena and the princes were obliged 20 appear
on the balcony three times.

for twenty minutes. being constantly cheered.
The Clericals desired to organize a demon
stration Of protest against the visit Of Presi-
dent Loubet to Rome. their purpose being to
meet at ST. Peters for prayer at the moment
Of the Presidents arrival. but this plan was
not carried out. It having been learned that
the Pope disapproyed Of such A demonstration.
From an official source il is learned that Italy
desires TO prove that while loyal TO the Triple
Alliance, she is free TO entertain friendly reIa-
tons with other powers having for her object
the maintenance Of peace. Any other interpre-
tation, Il is said, which may be given TO Presi-
dent Loubets presence in Italy is unfounded.
President Loubet dined with the King and
Queen at the Quirnal while VI. Delcasse took
dinner at the French Embassy. where Premier
Giolitti was a guest.
II is estimated that The visitors to the city
equal its inhabitants.

TITLE TO CANAL CLEAR.
High Praise for american officials
"A Ne7C Request.

Paris. April 24.-W. A Day and Charles ".
Russell the United States Assistant Attorneys
General, and all the other American officials who
have been engaged in the Panama Canal nego-
tiations. are being congratulated on the success
full results of the transaction and the over
whelming vote by which the stockholders Of the
Panama Canal Company yesterday approved the
deed Of sale.
The execution OF the transfer prior to the
meeting OF the stockholders was designed to
move extraneous issues. and to simplify the
question presented to the meeting To one of
approval or non-approvaL The actual transfer
took place on the evening Of April 16. following
the receipt Of a cable dispatch saying that the
United States Senate had passed the Panama
Canal bill, but it deemed prudent and in the
public interest not TO make the fact OF the
transfer public until after the meeting Of the
stockholders. No doubts however. existed then
or since concerning the entire regularity Of the
procedure which approved by all concerned.
including the highest legal authorities both
sides.
The former Premier. NJ. waldeck-Rousseau's
opinion specifically stated that the action Of
the stockholders last December authorized the
officials OF the company to carry out the trans
fer. However. as n further precaution. Messrs
Day and Russell insisted that the contract Of
sale after being executed should have the addi-
ttOnai beuent or a vote or ai1NFONdl nv a meet
ing OF the stockholders. This approval. there
fore. completes even the most minute formality
for safeguarding the interests OF the United
States
Statements in some American dispatches to the
effect that the transfer prior to the stockholders
meeting may cloud the title are dismissed by the
officials concerned as groundless The ability
and care shown by the United States officials in
concentrating the transaction receive general
recognition in official circles.
Besides the $4oOo00O0 purchase price, the
Panama Canal Company has asked consideration
for the money spent on the canal since the orig
inal price was fixed by the IsthHian Canal
Commission. Il is estimated that the value Of
the work Of excavation already accomplished
was about ST. 100000 After the price was fixed
the work of excavation was continued. about
one thousand men being employed. and the COM
pany estimates that additional 81 coo 900 was
thus expended
This request is receiving consideration. II is
stated however. that it is entirely distinct from
the transfer Of the cession. which is not de-
pendent on the claim any other condition.
1t is expected that some compromise will be
reached concerning the work done the canal
pending the negotiations
