BEST WORK NoN-PARrIsAA.
Secretary Shaw Tells of Great Improve
 ments When Parties Agreed.


 Syracuse, April 26.-L. M. Shaw, sec retary of the treasury. before the Syra- cuse Chamber of Commerce, speaking on "Non-Partisan statesmanship, said in part:
 Some of the best work of the repub- lie has been accomplished non-parti- sanly. During the administration of James Madison a law was passed giy- ing the American shipbuilder and ship owner monopoly of our coastwise trade. While this law has been many times assailed, no party has ever dared to repeal it. What is the result? We have the largest and most prosperous, the cheapest and best coastwise trade in the world.
 About forty years ago there was in- augurated policy of internal improve ment. By non-partisan votes large grants of land and large appropriations of money were offered as an induce- ment to the construction of trans-state and trans-continental railroads. Note the result. Five trunk lines, all but one assisted by the government, cross the Rocky Mountains, and as a result of these roads and their tributaries the entire west has become the most prof itable market for the manufactured products of the eastern states, and in turn the greatest producers of food products, which comprise over 50 per cent. of our exports.
 For more than a hundred years statesmen have dreamed and planned for an isthmian canal, and now the hope of a century bids fair to be real ized. The government of the United States willingly pays fifty millions for the right of way, then promises to spend probably two hundred millions in the construction and other millions in the maintenance, and perhaps other millions still in the defense of the canal, and then pledges itself to permit the commerce of the world to enjoy this short cut between the oceans on equal terms. Fortunately the parties vie with each other in enthusiasm over the prospect of making this the greatest of all contributions to the worlds com merce. I wish non- -partisanly the par ties would be as enthusiastic in their efforts to create a merchant marine, to the end that American material produc- CTS, shipbuilders and sailors may get their fair proportion of the worlds car rying trade.'

S40,OOO,OOO CANAL PAYMENT
TO BE.MADE IN PARIS AND NOT
 NEW FORK:

A French Syndicate to Advance the Sum
 md Draw on the United States Treas-
 ury--sccretary Shaw Desires to Draw q Single Warrant for the Amount
 Which Would be the Largest Ever Made Upon the Treasury.
 Washington, April 26-The attorney general expressed himself at the cab met meeting to-day as willing to give an opinion as to the satisfactory car acter os the title which the Panama Canal company is now, qualified to pass to the United States government, with out actually having the papers in his physical possession, as he knows, through his trusted representatives in Paris. just what the deeds contain, and in what form they have been executed. He would personally favor a rather prompt settlement of the business, as he is anxious to avoid further dilatory pro- ceedings from any source.
 But the hitch is likely to come in the working of the treasury machinery. Secretary Shaw wishes, as a matter of sentiment, to draw single warrant for the whole $4o,O00,0OO, as that would be the largest single warrant ever drawn upon the treasury. The next largest was the warrant for the purchase of Alaska-between g, ,000, ,00e and $S, GOO ,000 and the next largest to that the Hali- fax award of $5,500,0O0 The four pay ments of $5,OOO,0O0 each to Spain inpur- suance of the treaty of Paris came next in order.
 The s40,000.0OO payment must be au- thorized by the auditor, and the war rant must have the comptroller's coun- tersignature. At both stages it is lia- ble to be halted for the tangible evil dence of the right of the accounting of ficer to approve it. If either auditor or comptroller insists upon the bodily pro- duction of the title deeds, these papers must be produced, which may mean some days delay. The transaction, therefore, cannot be considered even constructively closed.
 It was expected that the payment would be made to the new Panama Canal company through New York banks, but it has been decided that the payments shall be made in Paris. A syndicate of French bankers will ad- vance the $4O,OOO,OO necessary to liqui- date the indebtedness of the United States to the canal company The money will be handed to the company by Assistant Attorneys General Day and Russell, who are in Paris. The syndicate then will draw directly on the United States treasury for the full amount it has advanced. The plan was adopted as the simplest and most feas- ible proposed for the transfer of the money.

HARD BLOW FOR HEARST
 LEADER IN BAY STATE
GEO. FRED WILLIAMS LOSES HIS
 OWN DISTRICT.
Himself Defeated for Delegate to the National Convention-soIid olney Delegation ChOsen-Charges of Fraud Made-Of the Fourteen Districts of the State the Hearst Men Capture but FOur-How Delegation Stands.
Four-How Delegation stands.

Boston. April 26. : Democratic con ventions for the election of delegates to the national convention at St. Louis
 were held in the fourteen congressional
 districts os the state to-day and in all
 but four Of the districts delegations either pledged or favorable to the nomi- nation ot Richard Olney for the presi- idency were chosen. | Of the delegates chosen to-day twen- ty-one are claimed for Olney, six are concede to William Randolph Hearst of New York, as candidate for the pres idential nomination, while one delegate is unpledged and non-committal. To the Olney delegates must be added the four delegates at large elected and pledged to him at the state convention.
 Delegates pledged to MT. Hearst were elected in the Third, Sixth and Sev- enth districts.
 Of the eleven conventions held out side of this city, fifteen delegates either ! pledged to or known to favor Olney were elected; six delegates were pledg- ed internationally to Hearst, while one delegate. T. F. Walsh of Adams, re- fuses to state which candidate will re- ceive his vote.
 With the four delegates-at-larg and the twenty-one elected to-day the Olney faction have a majority and will, lit is understood. enforce the unit rule at the national convention.
 Against the unit rule, the Hearst del- egates will make a strong protest to | the democratic national committee. With four exceptions to-day the con- lventions were very turbulent, and 1t was with the greatest difficulty that the different presiding officers main- tained order. In two instances ap- peals were made to the courts for re- Istraining orders against the seating of delegates.
 The first district convention elected one delegate known to be favorable to Olney and one whose preference is un- known. but who is believed to espouse the cause of the New York candidate The greatest surprise of the day was occasioned by the result of the ballot in the Twelfth district convention. This convention was held in this city. None of the delegates to the convention were residents of Boston, but belonged in towns in Norfolk and Worcester coun- ties. Dedham, the home of George Fred Williams, leader of the Hearst faction in Massachusetts. is in this district. M-. Williams was a candidate for del- |egate on the Hearst ticket. The con vention was lively one and charges of graud were made by the Hearst fac |tion. MT. Williams and the other Hearst delegates were finally defeated. and delegates pledged to Richard Olney elected.
 Iii the First district the delegation is believed to be split
 Delegates favorable to MT. Hearst's candidacy were elected in the Third district. This is one of the democratic districts of the state and is represented in Congress by John R. Thayer, one of the foremost opponents of MT. Hearst's candidacy.
