as the spectator recedes from it and that

George Washington, who to thoughtful
people appears greater and greater with

requirement by the United States of
canal rights on the isthmus, runzing
back to the first quarter of the last CEN
tury. What remains to be done now is
nothing more than the adjustment of
certain legal questions by the law officers
of this government; the state de-
partment has filled its functions
There was no attempted ceremony in
this last act. There were present in tho
diplomatic room only Secretary Hay, NJ.
Bunau-Varilla, Sidney Smith, chief of
the diplomatic bureau, and Eddie Savoy,
the veteran messenger of the secretary
who has had to do with tee sealing and
signature of countless treaties.
Legal Questions to Be Settled.
The legal questions remaining to be-
settled are, first, the effect upon canal
payments of the pending litigation in
France concerning the canal. Briefly
stated, the Colombian government sues
to prevent the directory of the new Pana-
ma Canal company from refusing admis-
sion to the board of its representatives.
With the amount of stock such repre-
sentatives would control, united with
certain elements of the old Panama CON-
pany opposed to the new regime, it
might be possible to prevent the consum-
nation of the sale of the canal property
to the United States. But the state de-
partment has conviction based on un-
official assurances that the French court
will reject the Colombian suit.
Another legal question is whether un
der the terms of the Spooner act the $40, ;
100000. which was to be paid to Colon
bia, can now be paid to Panama, and it is
for the attorney general to decide
whether enabling legislation will be re-
quired, 1t will be some time before these
questions can be settled and meanwhile
no money is likely to pass.

The school savings bank system which
has been put in operation in many places
in New York state is now declared to be
violation of the banking act. The sys-

brought the idea from Europe. The plan
is to induce children to save their PEN

who places them in bank. AS the plan
is general beneficial to the young. it is
probable that laws will be amended to

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 16.-The grand
jury returned two more indictments late
yesterday, but as no arrests have yet been
made it cannot be learned who the in
dictments are against. Burt Meixner, the
former secretary of the Fette & Meyer
Coal company, testified again and then
went back to Jail. 1t is supposed that the
county coal deal forms the basis of the
new indictments.
It is understood that the aldermen who
have been indicted have formed a pool
and will be defended Jointly. They will
attack the sufficency Of the indictments
and, it is said, will carry the cases to
the supreme court, so that an early con-
viction will be out of the question. The
policy of delay they are adopting, how
ever, will bring their cases on for trial
just about election time, so that none of
those indicted can have any hope of re-
election while these charges are hanging
over them.

accountable for the iniquities Of indi-
viduals, unless sharing in the iniquities
and that the individual voter must be held
responsible for a share of the wrong
doing. The grand jury was praised fol
the work it was doing in bringing the
boodlers into public notice and preparing
the way for their punishment.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 16. The right of the
city of Helena to direct the waters of
Beaver creek in Broadwater county for
the purpose of supplying. the municipality
with water, has been attacked in the dis
trict court at Townsend, and there has
been filed in that court a complaint ask
ing for, a temporary writ of injunction
to restrain the city from doing the work.
The plaintiffs are nine ranchmen. The
Helena council paid 100000 for water
rights on Beaver creek for the purpose of
bringing that water to the city. Recently
the city entered into a contract with a
Chicago concern for building the works
to bring the water here. Conditioned on
the same is $614,O00 worth of bonds,
which are to be offered for sale on Monday.
1t appears from the complaint filed that
in purchasing the Beaver creek rights the
city did not acquire the rights claimed
by the ranchmen, who assert that to di-
vert the water will make the valley a
desert and the lands 'valueless.
