PAID FOR THE STRIP
Isthmian Canal Zone Now
American Property.
MONEY TRANSFERRED
WARRANT FOR $e, e,oob, 900 PAID
TO PANAMA's AGENT.
Original Plan Was to Hold It Until
Arrival Of Minister
Obaldia.
MONEY TRANSFERRED

Mr.. Loomis, the acting secretary OF state,
made the following statement this morning:
'In order to completely close the Panama
transaction and to avoid any question as
to the authority of the United States over
the canal zone arising out of the fact that
the consideration for concession had not
been actually paid as provided by the
treaty, the Department of State, acting
under the advices Of the Attorney General.
has paid over to ]. P. Morgan & Co., the
duly constituted fiscal agents of the Pana-
ma government, the remaining 100000
Of the sum stipulated in the treaty as the
consideration for the concession"
The great warrant was made out yester-
day in the treasury, and was brought to
Mr.. Loomis who this morning handed 1t
over to Mr.. George w. Perkins, represent
ing Morgan & Co., who will cash 1t at the
New York subtreasury. 1t was the orig
inal plan of the State Department to re-
tain this 50, 600 600 in the treasury until the
arrival here next month of Senior Obaldia,
the newly appointed Panaman minister.
This plan was suggested by the government
of Panama itself, which was not disposed
to have so large a sum of money as $l0,-
600 600 placed at one time in the Panaman
treasury, where 1t might prove a great
temptation to restless revolutionary efforts.
But as Mr.. Loomis explains, our own gov
ernment decided that its title would be bet
ter and the field of operations on the 18TH
must be cleared without delay for the
canal commission IL the full payment was
made to Panama. Therefore the govern
ment of the latter country designated Nor
gan & Co. as its fiscal agents in the United
States, so that while they will take over the
money 1t will still remain secure In New
York

CAPT. WALKERS CASE.
Gen. Chaffee Opposed to Any Furthe,
Action In the Matter.

Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee, chief Of staff, has ap-
proved the recommendation of Inspector
General Mills, that no further action be
taken in the case of Capt John p Walker,
U. S. A, retired. Col. Mills made a special
investigation of the alleged misconduct of
Capt. Walker at the West Point Military
Academy. which resulted in his expulsion
from the military reservation by direction
of Gen. A. l.. Mills, superintendent of the
academy. The principal charge against
Capt. Walker was that he had insulted a
young lady employed at the academy as a
steEogra pher.
1t is stated at the War Department that
although the report of the inspector gen.
eral does not completely exonerate Capt
Walker, the authorities agree with the in
spector general that the circumstances of
the case do not call for disciplinary meas
ures. This ends the case so far as the
War Department is concerned, the charges
filed by Capt. Walker against Superintend-
ent Mills having been previously ignored
by the Secretary of War.

TIE TREASURY CASH
WILL BE INCREASED BY A CALL
ON THE BANKS.
Working Balance Will Be Raised to
$47, 1000, ,0Oo-No Prospect Of
Reduction Soon.

There will be no further likelihood of any
reduction in the working balance of the
treasury for several months to come. The
present working balance will be increased
100000 within the next five days by a
third call which Secretary Shaw has made
upon the national banks of the country for
public deposits now with them. This $10,-
OOC,00O will come out of the $122. .O0O, coo now
with the national banks and, while de-
creasing the balance with them, will there
by increase the working balance Of the
treasury proper, making it's balance about
$47. 100000
1t 10 also stated that from now until the
end of June the receipts of the treasury
will largely exceed the expenditures, and
this will, of course, increase the working
balance. 1t Is believed by treasury Of
icials that by the first Of July the work.
ing balance Of the treasury will have gone
up to $55O0O,OOO or s65,O0O,0OO After the
first of July 1t will possibly suffer another
reduction, owing to the heavy. expenditures
during the first two or three months of the
new fiscal year. In July and August of al
most every fiscal year the expenses have
largely exceeded the receipts, due to the fact
that at the beginning Of the year disbursing
officers all over the country send In their
them by Congress. 1t would not be sur
prising II the working balance of the
treasury fell below $5O,O0OO0O by the last
of August, but after that tim it will again
begin to increase
The receipts after July 1 will be largely
increased by the return each month of the
loan made to the Louisiana exposition. The
terms of the loan call for the return of SO
much each month after the opening Of the
exposition. The first return Of this loan
will be received this month. and after that
money will be received from that source
each month until the loan is repaid. This
must be done before the closing of the ex-
position. The government has mortgage
or all the gate receipts of the exposition,
and if 1t should see that it is about to lose
any part Of the loan it has full authority to
take charge of the gates and run the expo
sition in it's own interests. No one, how
ever, expects this to be the case as the
gate receipts of the exposition will far ex-
ceed the loan of 81, 600 600.
