before the court, the first seeking to
prevent transfer of the canal conces-
sion to the United States and the other
relative to the right of Colombia to
hold shares in the company. Arguments
today were upon the first case. Both
sides We're represented by a strong ar
ray of counsel.
Paris. March 9.--Owing to the re-
ports of a hitch in the Panama canal
negotiations Ambassador Porter invited
President Bo to call at the embassy,
where they held a lengthy conference
today. Bo maintained there was not
the slightest obstacle to completion
of the transfer canal company's prop
erty to the United States. He partic-
ularly emphasized the need for conclud-
ing the tranfer before April 25, saying
every formality, legal and otherwise,
would be effected before that date Mr..
30 explained the suit involving Colom-
bias right to hold shares in the COM
pany was wholly the question between
Colombia and the company, the Unit
cd States not being directly or indirect

Special to mes-Republican.
Des Moines, March s.-'Fhe bill was
introduced in the senate by Young, of

OF the state. The senate passed the

congress on election of senators by
the people.

number of members of the house in
Iowa, which had been recalled from
the governor, was sent to th.a
judiciary committee to Investigate as
to defects. In the house tie vote
was recorded on adoption of the re-
port of the railroad committee, kill
ing the bill to require railroad agents
and operators to be adults and have
certificates and the bill is still before
the house.
The schools committee bill providing
for compulsory consolidation of rural
schools and transportation of pupils,
was called up and failed of passage,
having only forty-six votes. The
house fixed Friday for debate on the
road bills, and both houses arranged
for session with the pioneer lawmak-
ers tomorrow. The legislators all went
to Ames this afternoon to visit the
college. 81
