bankers at the sub-trea surer regarding
the government payment of Panama ca
nal moneys. Definite arrangements have

temporarily to secure deposits made with
them of the government funds by out
OF town banks. These funds will be held
only few days, but the additional de-
posts of collateral have to be made in
accordance with the law The secretary
made clear today the point that the
banks would not be compelled TO lose the
use of the money through the transfer
to the sub-treasu He said that the
warrants for the payment would be
drawn on the sub-treaSury here and that
the demand for the Withdrawals from
the banks would be made Simultaneous

WILL RATIFY TREATY
General Expectation Is for
EARLY Senate Action.
CANAL COMMISSIONERS
Three of Board Are Thought
to Be Known.
COM MMISSI0NERS

Washington. Feb. 10.-As it seems GER
tain now that the Panama canal treaty
will be ratified soon by the senate. Pres
ident Roosevelt has taken up with Sec
retary Shaw the arrangements neces-
sary to be made by this government for
the payment Of the $40, 100000 for the canal
property and the $10,Oc0,G00 TO the republic
of Panama. He also is giving particular
attention to the personnel of the 18th
nian canal commission. which is to have
charge of the construction of the great
waterway.
Attorney General Knox has .under con-
sideration the Spooner act of the last
congress with view of determining
whether il affords the president ample
authority to provide for the issuance of
bonds TO raise the money Immediately
needed and to appoint the commission.
If it should be decided that the Spooner
act does not confer that authority. no
doubt is expressed that congress VIII
enact promptly the necessary legislation.
AS regards the composition Of the canal
commission. ii is thought that Rear Ad-
rniral "a alker. president Of the present
commission. will be a member and prob
ably will head it. Isham Randolph, chief
engineer of the Chicago drainage canal.
and General George W. Davis, retired
also. it is believed have been decided
upon as members Of the commission

FRANCE BAlkS A BIT.
Will Do Nothing That Seems to Co.
cree Russia.

Paris. Feb. 10-The overtureS of the
United States government to the powers
for preserving the neutrality and integri-
ty of China and after the hostilities be-
tween Russia and Japan are attracting
widespread attention. United States am
bassador Porter conferred with foreign
Minister Delcasse yesteray and again to-
day The results have not been made pub
lie, but the general situation is as fol-
lows:
1t does not appear probable that an
accord of the powers can be reached at
the present time owing to differences of
views and the concentration of attention
upon the actual events of the war. 1t
is practically certain that France will
not take any action which could possibly
be construed as embarrassing to Russia,
or as seeking to ocerce her concerning
the integrity OF China The French au-
thorities appear quite willing and even
anxious to have China declare her neu-
trality
They desire to have the least possible
interruption in international shipping at
far eastern ports and also will seek in
dividually and collectively to confine the
area of hoStilities so as to reduce the
chance of general spread of the con-
hagration. But. relative TO the integrity
of China it is not likely that any step
will be taken, Ia the term China" IS in
tended to include Manchuria 1t is held
that this is consistent with the past
French attitude concerning the integrity
of China whichw as construed TO be en-
tirely distinct from the provinces of the
Chinese empire. including Manchuria,
Thibet and Mongolia.
However, the foregoing is only the gen.
eral tendency, the negotia tions being still
open with the prospect of their rather
lengthy continuance

Pennsylvania District
BUT DANGER THREATENS
Much Suffering Was Expert
enced During Night.

WiIkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 1e.-The situa-
ton in the flooded district was some
what relieved today by the Susquehanna
river falling fourteen inches. 4 thaw
is predicted for tonight and this is ex-
pected to cause a still greater flood. The
big ice gorge between kipps run and
Berwick is still intact.
In the flooded districts there was much
suffering during the night as many of
the residents had remained in the upper
floors of their houses in the hope that
the waters would recede Today many of
these were taken out path for the boats
having to be chopped through the ice.
Lancaster, Feb. 1O.-Backwater from
the gorge which extends from Mccall
ferry to cambridge on the Susquehanna
river covered the tracks of the Pennsql-
vania river at Bainbridge today TO
depth of three feet. Four freight trains
are stalled with the water up to the
cab floors The water is slowly receding
after having reached the record mark in

body OF the gorge from Marietta south

river today At York Haven the county
bridge to Wislers island has been des-
troyed The equipment of Kerbaugh and
company Pennsylvania railroad contrac-
tors, at New Holland has been carried
away. The flood is due to series of ice
gorges which have caused back water.
Below Wrightsville the ice remains in
tact Above thatp lace the ice has been
