Attorney General Knox has received
cablegrams from Messrs. Day and
Russell who went to Paris as his
representatives to conduct the closing
negotiations for the Panama canal
property, to the effect that the deeds
of the property archives and all other
papers and documents which will be-
long to the United States under the
transfer have already been turned
over to them, and that the purchase
price of $400G0,000 has been advanced
to the canal company by a Paris SYN
dictate of bankers.
This syndicate, it is understood, Of
fered to pay over the money with
view to expediting the consummation
OF the sale on the assurance of the
attorney general that the draft on the
United States for S40,0O0,00O would be
honored on presentation at the treas
ury at Washington.
At the time the money was paid
over to the canal company in Paris,
Major Mark Brooke, of the engineer
corps Of the army, now in Colon, was
authorized to formally receive he
property on the isthmus in the name
of the United States.
Whether this transfer has actually
been made by the republic of Panama
The department of justice has not yet
been advised but it is assumed it will
be made within day or two. Messrs.
Day and Russell are expected to re-
turn to Washington within the next
ten days and will bring with them

Before the minister left Washington
Secretary Hay took occasion to i'm
press upon him the fact that consid-

was not particularly impressed and no
