of Hanna City, rushed into the room.
His coat was split up the back and
covered with dust. his collar was torn.
his necktie was gone, and his whole
attire was in disorder. Mounting the

Panama, MAY 4.-The United States

pany. The United States flag was

Paris. May 4.-Having wound up
She details OF the big financial tram
action connected with the Panama
transfer, ]. Pierpont Morgan has left
Paris for Aix-les- Bains. Before his de-
parture he gave the main points of the
final agreement, as follows: The Pana-
ma Canal company wishes to have the
money turned over in Paris instead Of
in the United States, and was willing
to pay all the expenses incident to
the payment here.
In order to accomplish this the Unit
ed States has appointed the Morgan
company fiscal agents for the purpose
of the payment, the Morgan company
in turn to make u contract with the
Panama company whereby the $4O,-
100000 will be paid in Paris. The
contract specifies the Banque de
France as depository and also the pro-
portion of the payments going to the
old and the new Panama companies
respectively.
The signing of this contract closes
the tranSa ctiCn, it only remaining for
the Morgan company to carry it out by
making payments from time to time
to the Banque dc France. This will
be done so as to cause no diSarrange-
ment of the United States or French
money markets.
