WASHINGTON y. 27.-The exam
inatlon of VILLA Nelson Cromwell.
who has figured Eely in connection
with the sale PThe Panama canal
property to the United States. was be-
gun by the senate committee on inter
oceanic canals. His testimony has been
looked forward to with much interest,
and nearly all VIZ members of the com
mittee were present, Senator Platt of
New York appearing for the first time
since the hearing began.
Many of the questions asked Mr..
Cromwell related to the interview at
the Manhattan hotel in New York re-
garding the resignation Of Mr.. Wallace
when Secretary Taft, Mr.. Wallace and
Mr.. Cromwell were present.
Mr.. Cromwell denied that his firm
had ever had any connection with the
De Lesseps company, which failed in
1889.
He detailed the circumstances of the
transfer of the Panama canal property
to the United States, together with %
per cent of the stock of the Panama
railroad. He declared that the expense
of transmitting the S40,000,0OO pur-
chase money was $50, 100, which was
paid to j. 7. Morgan & Co.
There were frequent tits between
the witness and Senator Morgan be-
cause the former was not more specific
in his answers to questions by the SEN
ator. 1t eliminated dramatically at the
close of the day when Mr.. Cromwell
refused to answer various questions
asked Wy the senator and the latter de-
clared he would deal with the witness
in the senate when the facts regarding
the resignation of Mr.. Wallace come
out. Mr.. Cromwell replied, with some
warmth, that that was the "only safe
place to do it."
Mr.. Cromwell in his statement de-
clared that every penny of the money
paid by the United States government
for the purchase of Panama railway
stock and for the French canal prop
erty had been accounted for. He stat
ed that he had declined to accept the
position of counsel for the canal com
mission and that his activity had been
largely upon the invitation of the presi-
dent and the secretary of war.

kiang river to Il place of safety several
hundred miles below Nanchang, where
they told the news Of the attack and
their escape.
The Methodlsts had in Nanchang a
church, Il dispensary and living build
ings for the missionaries.
Mr.. Rodgers later cabled that the
Nanchang trouble originated in a dis
pute between the French Jesuits and
Chinese officials. \ Chinese magis-
trate was at first reported to have been
stabbed by u Catholic missionary, but

stabbed himself. In the riot which oc-
cured six Jesuits and two members Of
