KNOX RECEIVES NEWS.

Attorney General Knox received a
cable dispatch from Paris this morning
announcing the decision Of the French
court.
The Attorney General called at the
White House a short while after receiv-
ing the news to Inform the President.
Both are much gTaufed at the outcome.
Attorney General Knox was asked as 70
the effect of the decision. He said L
was what this Government had expect
ed from the first. The Representatives
OF the Department OF Justice in Paris

The decision OF the court after the
manner expected by Attorney General
Knox will not make 1t possible to COM

Among others the inventory list Of the
New Panama Canal company which Is
an extremely long one. viii have 10 be

the other steps required by the French

Long Fight Between Ne
braSka Politicians Ends
in Compromise.
SUCCEEDS VS.. SUMMERS
Incumbent Has Held On 10
Office in Spite of Bitter
Opposition.

The long fight over the displacement of
United States Attorney w. S. Summers,
of Nebraska. which has caused no end
of trouble to Nebraska politicians, is
ended. The President will appoint Judge
Irving W. Baxter. of Omaha. to the po-
sition. The appointment is expected to
90 TO the Senate tomorrow.
The appointment of Judge Baxter was
settled on this morning at the White
House in a conference between the
President and Senators Nlillard and
Dietrich. and D. Z. Thompson. minister
TO Brazil. and prominent in Nebraska
politics. The two Senators and Mr..
Thompson agreed on Judge Baxter. and
so assured the President.
Had to Compromise.
Senator BIIllard has been friendly 10
Summers ali along. but for some time
has recognized that he had to go. He
then wanted William F. Gurley named
in his stead. Senator Dietrich sup
ported State Chairman Lindsey. In BaX-
ter a man has been found who is said
to be but slightly involved In Nebraska
factiOnal politics.
Judge Baxter is about forty-five years
old, and has been on the State district
bench for ten years Senator NIillard
this morning said he was an able law
yer. and a good judge, and ne felt he
woul0 serve with credit Mr. Thompson
also. is well pleased with the appoint,
ment
Held On to Job.
Summers term has been out for two
years. but he has held on, regardless
OF this. His enemies make various al
legations against him. and Senator
Dietrich's friends charge that ne went
cut OF his way TO persecute the SEM
tor in the recent prosecution.

I'll in a few days. having ben here for
some weeks on leave.
The Washington times., 1904-03-31

This Government Is not advised just
how long 1t win take to complete the
transfer. II has been repeatedly said
that a meeting OF the stockholders of
the new Panama Canal Company would
be necessary, preliminary to the ratifica-
ton Of ali details of the property trans
fer. and the dissolution OF the company.
This meeting has not been called. How
many days notice is required before
the meeting can legally be held is not
fully known here. and this, of course,
has a bearing on the length of time
needed to settle matters.
Action of Injunction.
The suit which has just been decided
was what in American courts would be
termed an action Of injunction, in which
Colombia was plaintiff and the new Pan
anna Canal Company defendant, and in
which Colombia sought to obtain a re-
straining order preventing the transfer
of the canal property.
The Department Of Justice is not ad-
vised that Judge Charles ". Russell
and Judge W. A. Day have arrived in
Paris. They win probably reach there
before tl,e week ends. A dis5atch from
Panama says that republic Is surprised
over the failure of the United States TO
pay the 100000 on the exchange of
ratihcatious The Administration at
taches no Importance to this report. and
ii is thought the reasons for delay on
the part Of this country in view OF the
French litigation are well understood In

agreement reached in 1888. IS due the
District for the company's use Of part
Of Canal Street southeast by the com
pany's tracks.
Attorney J. s. Flannery, representing
the railroad. argued that the acts of
Congress Of 1901 and 1903 abrogated the
agreement as 10 the rent OF the street
save that part between New Jersey
Avenue and Second Street
AS this section OF the thoroughfare
IS about one-third Of the area which
was originally rented. the attorney
claimed that the rent ought 70 be re-
duced 20 one-third OF its original
amount lie suggested that the Com
missiOners make a new agreement with
the road so that il be freed from paying
rent for that portion Of the street which,
under the present law, he claimed was
not bearing rent from the road.
The Commissioners took no action in
the matter.
