IN full POSSESSION
Title to the Panama c an a |
Property Is in Sight.
THIRTY DAYS WILL DO IT
Money Will Be Paid 10 Pana-
ma and the Company

Washington, March "A conclusion Of
the negotiations for the total TO the Pa
mama canal property is in sight. Within
thirty days, perhaps in a shorter time,
the United States viii be in full posses
sion Of the property and the money con-
sideration will have been paid to both
the republic of Panama and to the new
Panama canal company. Attorney Cen
eral Knox had a conference today with
the president at which the whole sub
Ject. so far as the legal phases of it are
concerned was considered ana decided
At the conslusion of the conference, the
attorney general authorized the follow
ing statement:
/ have advised the president that he
is authorized to pay at once to the Re-
public Of Panama the $4,000 stipulated
for by the treaty, the notifications of
which have just been exchanged Also
that he is authorized to pay to the new
Panama canal company the $4,000 900
which under the agreement between the
United States and that companyp we are
to pay for its property, and have notified
the canal company we are ready to close
the transaction.
The details the transfer of the COM
pany's property should not require more
than thirty days"
1t appears that Attorney General Knox
is satisfied perfectly with the title which
the canal company is able to pass to The
United States. In his opinion it will not
be necessary to pursue the investigation
further. Mr.. Knox declines o discuss the
pending litigation in the French courts.
but the inference. from his authorized
statement, is plain that he does not Ts
gard it as a serious menace to the valid
ity of the title to the property which the
comnany will pass to The United States.
1t has not been determined how soon
the $1,000, 900 will be paid to the Repub-
lie of Panama, but it is quite likely that
payment will be made soon.
Secretary Shaw practically has COM
pleted arrangements at the treasury de-
partment for the money necessary to
meet the obligations incurred through the
purchase of the French company's prop
erty.
His arrangements have been effected in
such manner as not to disturb seriously
the fna0clal cOnulllOn or the county
The officials of the United States en-
bassy share the view of the officers of the
canal company, that there is nothing now
in the way OF the actual transference of
the concession and the companys' prop
erty Ae recent conferences between Am
bassador Porter and President 30 of the
canal company the president pointed out
that two suits are now pending. one in
volving Colombia's right to hold shares
and the other the general question OF
the companys right TO transfer its con-
cessions to the United States. MIR Bo
was inclined to believe one and perhaps
both suits might be protracted several
months. but General Porter was satisfied
after hearing Mr.. BO that even if the suits
are cintinued they do not constitute any
menace to the United States requiring
putting off the transfer.

TEST HACK n.AW.

Attorney j. A. Matthewman has be-
gun proceedings in the Supreme Court
in behalf of four Japanese who want
hackdrivers' licenses, to test the action
of High Sheriff Brown in requiring a
knowledge of the English Language as
a qualification for hackdriEers. In the
late lamented county act there was a
section of law providing that hackmen
must have a knowledge of English D.
hawaiian OF both. When the count =
act was knocked out the sheriff COLI
tiBued to require English, basing his
action on the following rule from the
hackmen's regulations as drawn up
some time ago by Superintendent OF
Public Works Boyd:
Every hackdriyer, before being Ii
censed as such, must prove 10 the sat
isfaction of the competent authorities
that he is sufficiently conversant with
the English language for the conduct
of his business, and well acquainted
with streets and localities in and
around Honolulu

NOT A JUROR PASSED.

Out Of a special venire of fifty jurors
for the Jones trial only eight were left
when Judge Robinson adjourned court
at noon today and not one had been
passed. The same jurors remained in
the box as were there when court ad-
journed yesterday. At this rate it
is thought the entire list of names Of
jurors for 1904 will be exhausted before
a jury is secured. A question will
then arise as to what shall be done,
but 1t is the opinion of the attorneys
that the court has the power TO sum-
mon any citizens to serve.
The following were all of the fifty
to be served with summons to appear
this morning; c. c. Conradt, A. M.
