SAC, 900. 900 to the Panama Canal Com
pany for the canal concession are still

feet the payment without causing a
Some of the leading financial institu-
tions, including the Banque de France,
which is a Government institution, re-
port that the sudden dumping of $40.-
o00, 900 on the French market may
cause disturbance. Therefore. it has
been considered adviSa bic to make the
payment, so far as possible, by trade
bank balances. thus avoiding the ship
ment of 0.000, 900 in coin.
AS ]. p Morgan is here, he was con-
suited as to how the plan could be car
ried out and it was at first expected
that he would undertake the transac-
ton. Now, however, it is probable that
others will carry out the plan. When
a correspondent saw Morgan to-day he
said the plan had not yet assumed suf-
ficient definiteness to permit him to

PANAMA, April 2S.-The possibility
of Chinese laborers being used in the
work of completing the Panama canal

RETURN WITHOUT NEWS
OF THE POLAR EXPEDITION
Engineer Brousneff and Party Arrive
in II. Petersburg After Vain
Search for Baron Toll.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2S.-En-
gineer Brousneff. who was sent out in
the spring of 1903 by the Imperial
Academy Of Sciences. in company with
Lieutenant Kolchak and a number OF
experienced Yakuts and coast people
toward New Siberia and Ben
nett Island to search for the
polar expedition headed by Baron
r. Toll, has returned here.
Baron Toll has not been heard from
since he and his companions left the
yacht Zaria, May %. 1902, in COM
pany with two YakUts and started for
Bennett Island.
The Brousneff expedition visited
Bennett Island after Lieutenant Kol-
chak had searched Kotelnyi Island,
New Siberia and the Thaddeus islands.
No trace of the Toll expedition was
found. Brousneff believes the mem
bers of the party died of cold and star
vation. He says Baron Toll killed only
six reindeer on Bennett Island. and
adds that the Baron probably encoun-
tered open water on his ice journey
south to New Siberia and there per-
ished.

NOTED BERKELEY ATHLETES
ENTER AGAINST WASHINGTON
Sprinter Cadogan, HurdIer Powell and
Plaw, the Hammer-Thrower,
Are in the Lists

BERKELEY, April 2S.-The en-
tries for the California-Washingt
field day on Saturday morning at
Berkeley oval were announced to-day
at the university. A perusal Of the
list shows that the California team
viii be materially strengthened by the
addition of Cadogan, the crack
sprinter, Powell. the crack hurdler,
and Plaw, the crack hammer
thrower. all Of them Of last years
varsity crack team. Cadogan is ex-
pected to take the 22O-yard dash.
Powell will look after both hurdles,
and victory is already conceded him.
while Plaw, barring accidents. Will
take the hammer-throw and probably
the shotput.
Unless Washington develops more
strength than her records indicate it
does not appear that California will
be pressed hard to win. The greatest
opposition is looked for from Joe
Pearson in the 100-yard and 220-yard
dashes, at which distances he is re-
puted to be fast. His record for the
100 yards is 10 1-5, although Snedigar
and Cadogan have negotiated the dis
tance in 10 seconds fat. Abadie is

AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT
PLEASED WITH THE RESULT
Announcement That Lodges Alien
Measure Did Not Become a Law
Received With Satisfaction.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 2S.-
Dispatches from Washington an
nouncing that Senator Lodges propo-
sition for the exclusion from the
United States of all aliens whose inn
migration is induced by agreement be-
tween foreign Governments and
steamship companies had not been
enacted into law, have been received
with lively satisfaction in Govern
ment circles. 1t is now believed that
the agreement with the Cunard line
is not likely to meet with further
obstacles.
Credit for this favorable turn of af-
fairs is attributed to the skillful diplo-
matte intervention of DR.. Hengel-
mueller, the Austrian ambassador,
who explained to the United States
Government that the agreement with
the Cunard line was not intended to
encourage immigration. but rather to
restrict it.

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic cOndi-
tons in the cure of CONSUMPTION
is very much Overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient,
too, can do much better at home
by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of Ger
man Syrup. Free expectOratiOn
in the morning is made certain
by German Syrup, so is a good
nights rest and the absence of
that weakening cough and debili-
tating night sweat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the cOnsumptive,
can be prevented or stopped by
taking German Syrup literally
and regularly. Should you be
able to go to a warmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of
cOnsumptives there, the few who
are benefited and regain
strength are those who use Ger
man Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c:
