PANAMA. CANAL
TREATY RATIFIED.
Secretary Hay and Panama

PRESIDENT SIGNS PROCLAMATION

Only Few Legal Questions Remain
To BE AdIusted-President May Net
Send His Appointments of Commits
sioners 10 Senate Before Next Week
Washington, Feb. 26.-Secretary Hay
and Minister Bunea-Varilla today ex'
changed ratif1cations of the Panama
canal treaty. The exchange marked
the close of diplomatic negotiations
looking to the requirement by the
United States of canal rights ON the
isthmus, running back to the first guar
ter Of the last century What remains
to be done now is nothing more than
the adjustment of ceretain legal ques
tons by the law officers of this govern
ment; the state department has I'LL
ed its function.
The legal questions remaining to
be settled are, first, the effect upon
canal payments of the pending litiga
ton in France concerning the canal.
Briefly stated, the Colombian govern
ment sues to prevent the directory
OF the new Panama Canal company
from refusing admission to the board
OF its representatives With the
amount of stock such representative
would control, with certain elements
of the old Panama company, opposed
to the new regime, 1t might be posi-
BILE to prevent the consummRtion OF
the sale of the canal property to the

ment has q conviction based on unoffi
cial assurances that the French court
will reject the Colombian suit
Another legal question Is whether
under the terms of the Spooner act
the $10,000,000 which was to have been
paid to Colombia can now be paid &c
Panama, and 1t is for the attorney
general to decide whether additional
legislation will be required 1t will
be some time before these questions
can be sttled and meanwhile no money
is likely to pass.
President Signs Proclamation.
President Roosevelt. at 1850 a. M
today signed the proclamation, putting
into effect the treaty with Panama re-
garding tho isthmian canal. AS soon
as the proclamation was signed it was

already had taken place between Sec.
