Trouble of French Companies.

The Secretary declares that failure to
meet bills and pay-rolls was the trouble
with both of the French companies
which undertook the construction of the
canal Certainly" he says. there is
nothing in the credit OF the United
States justifying suspension of pay
ments. / know there is a disposition IN
some quarters, and possibly among some
members of Congress. to investigate
everything connected with the canal"

report, outstanding bills for materials

which are now due. amount TO 1900 600
1t is estimated that $1,000 900 will be
Eeeded between now and April l. 1906
In referring to the ectual work of
digging the canal, and discussing the
difficulties, Mr.. Taft makes this sharp
statement: 1T is a problem of trans
portatfon. really, and not of excaya-
tion. For a sea level canal IL will be
necessary TO excayate at least 10000. 900

SECRETARY TAFT REPORTS

The payroll at present amounts to
something like $4,000 a month. and
there is not enough money on hand after
the payment of bills to meet the De-
cember payroll. There are bills unpaid
for materials and supplies which should
be paid at once. The delay is quite op-
pressive and unjust to the creditors of
the Government. 1t viii be necessary.
therefore, for Congress to make an em-
ergeney appropriation to carry on the
work without calamitous interruption.
Nothing could be more disastrous than
10 nave the payroll go unpaid even for
a few weeks
Secretary Taft in his annual report
to the President thus discusses the fin
ancial condition OF the Isthmian Canal
commission He says that the $4,000 600
appropriation 10 begin the work of con-
structing the canal has almost been ex>
pended. The exact amount of expendi-
lures from this appropriation amounts
to Ss,1SS.oO0, leaving a balance on hand
of s2l7.OOo.
