TREATY Is RATIFIED
Another Step Taken in the isthnn'ad
Canal Matter.

Paris, BY Cable.-The Associated
Press is authorized to announce that
the contract by which the ownership
of the Panama canal passes to the
United States, is signed, sealed oe'
livered and complete.
The title to the canal route IS now
vested in the government Of the
United States.
The. document by which thisstran-
saction Is censummated bears the
signatures OF President Bo and Direc'
tor Richman, of the. Panama canal
company, who signed for the company
as its responsible officials:
The transfer is complete and with
out reservation and the United States
secures perfect title.
This result has been accomplished
quietly and most unexpectedly, as the
public had been given to understand
that the contract would not be exc
!cuted until after the meeting Of the
stockholders of the canal company
tomorrow, at which the question OF
ratification would be presented. AS
a matter of fact, however, when the
meeting takes place tomorrow Pres!-
dent Bo will announce that the sale
has been completed, and instead OF
asking for authority to execute a fu-
ture contract, it will only remain to
ratify the contract of sale which the
officers of the company have already
formally completed.
It is confidently believed that tho
completion of the sale before the
meeting will increase the vote for rat
ification, as it will be recognized that
nothing more remains but to acqul-
esce in the action taken by the highest
officer of the company,
When W. A. Day and Charles w,
Russell, the United States Assistant
Attorneys General, who are in Paris
to assist in. the transfer of the prop.
-e1ty, ewere, seen, tonight b.. the, Associ-
;pted Press, they reluctantly admitted
that the transfer had been corsun-
mated, and in: order to a1oid misun-
derstandings regarding transaction
of this magnitude, they furnished the
following official statement in writ,
ing: ~, -:
'The papers transferring the. rights
and property by the new Panama
Canal Company to the United States
have already been executed and de-
liyered. They will be ratified tomor
