PANAMA CANAL TITLE.
It Will Pass to the United States With
 in a Month.

Washington, March 2.-The conclu- sion of negotiations for the title e the Panama canal property is in sight. Within thirty days, perhaps sooner. the United States will be in full possession of the property and the money consideration will have been paid to both the republic of Panama and the New Panama company.
 Attorney General Knox was in con- ference today with the president at the conclusion of which the former au- thorized the following statement:
 'I have advised the president that he is authorized to pay at once to the government of Panama the S10 0000,0 00C provided by the treaty. Also he is authorized to pay the new Panama Canal company s40,0O0, ,O00, which under the agreement we are to pay for its property, and we have notified the canal company that we are ready tc close the transaction"

A DOUBLING UP President Roosevelt s SOlu-
 tion of Statehood Problem SUGGESTED TOSENATORS
The Senate Committee Agrees with Him as to Oklahoma and Indian Territory which the President Thinks May Be Divided Later.

Washington, March 2.-President Roosevelt last week had several con ferences with senators and represen- tatives in congress who are interested in the proposition to create new states.
 It is understood to be the presidents solution of the problem that two new states can be created, one from Ok lahoma and Indian Territory, and one from the territories of New Mexico and Arizona. In this respect, he is in agreement, at least so far as Oklahoma and Indian Territory are concerned, with the senate committee on territor- ies. The idea of the creation of only two states does not meet the approval of the people in the territories and their objection to it may delay state hood legislation.
 It is pointed out that it is not urged by the president that all the people. including Indians in Indian Territory, shall be admitted as citizens immedi- ately, but that gradually. as the In dians become qualified for citizenship they must be accorded the rights of citizens. and that eventually perhaps. Indian Territory and Oklahoma may be erected into separate states.

A STEEL SKELETON
Collapse of an Eleven Story
 Structure in New York
Fourteen Persons Are Known to Have Died in the Wreck, Caused by a Violation of Building Ordina nee.

New York. Mar. 2-Fourteen persons are known to have been killed, and about a score injured and eight or ten, all of whom are believed to be dead. are missing through the collapse to- day of the steel skeleton of the Hotel Darlington, a twelve-story apartment house in the course of erection at 57 West Forty-sixth street.
 The steel frame work had been erected as far as the eleventh floor and the structure was swarming with iron workers, masons and laborers, when without an instants warning, the up- per floor sagged and collapsed and the whole structure fell with a crash that was heard for blocks and shook all the buildings in the vicinity
 portion of the steel frame fell up- on the rear of the Hotel Patterson. on West Forty-seventh street, crushing in the wall of the dining room and killing Mrs. Ella Lacey Storrs. wife of Frank Storrs. q wealthy resident of Rye. West Chester county. as she was sit ting at luncheon with the wife of Rev. Dr. Minot Savage, who escaped un- hurt.
 
 Frederick MOrrills. foreman of the Roebling Construction company: Far rell s. Pagan, a derrick man and two unidentified men, apparently Iaborers.
 The more seriously injured, with one exception, laborers on the building, are:
 Jos. Sinto. Andrew Maher. Jas. w. Smith. Henry Strobe, Tony Smith. Dennis MnCtfnnic muller. Gotlieb Witterau, A. V. Ben ter. Jos. Gentry and Ernest Meier.
 Among the missing is Frank J. AL lison. of the Allison Realty Co.,. builders of the hotel. who is known to have been in the building when it fell. Efforts to recover the bodies of the dead and rescue those imprisoned in the wreck were begun by firemen immediately after the crash and at II o'clock tonight the contractor in charge of the wrecking work said his men had discovered seven bodies and that two were known to be under the wreckage on the east side of the build iEg.
 The cause of the accident was the overlooking of the floors. Foreman Jas. Halpin, in charge of the iron workers, stated that there was a large quantity of cement and other build ing material on the fifth floor. and on the ninth floor were eighty-three beams which were to have been used in constructing the remaining floors of the building. That criminal careless ness is chargeable to somebody is shown by the fact that the building department had placed repeated "vio- Iations" against the building, the last one being filed today, at the instance of Inspector Chas. French, because 'the side walls were more than two stories in advarce of the front walls and the floor beams were not properly | bolted"

St. Petersburg, March 2.-In dis patch to the czar Niceroy AleXieff says: Admiral Stark, telegraphing from Port Arthur today, March ?, says the enemy did not appear off Port Ar thur either on February 2S. 29 or March l.. Reconnoisances made by cruisers and torpedo boats over a radius of six ty miles from Port Arthur failed to dis cover the eremy's vessels"
 Major General Plug, Viceroy Aliex- eff's chief of staff, sends the following telegram, dated March ?: According to additional information which has reached me our patrol having passed the night twelve versts (eight miles) from Ping Yang, approached that town on the morning of February z9. They closely pressed a Japanese patrCl with seven officers, forcing it to retreat at a gallop toward the gates of the town. The presence of our patrol near Ping Yang produced great alarm and soon the enemy's sharpshooters manned the wall and towers, expecting an attack. According to the reports our patrol approached to within zoo paces of the town. which they found surrounded with new ramparts."

RUSSIAN ERIENpsHIP.

St Petersburg, March 2.-The Rus sian government earnestly desired the conservatism of the ancient friendship between the United States and the em- Dire. The opinion is expressed here that the two countries are now on the eve of a better understanding of the points concerning which differences have existed. The campaign of recrim ination which is progressing in a. DOT ton of the press of both countries is deprecated and the government here disavows responsibility for the course of some of the Russian papers against the United States, which in turn have infamed a portion of the American press against Russia
