EXPLAINS WORK DONE
ON PANAMA CANAL
| eeIaration Made That No yellow
Fever Has Originated on the
Isthmus During the Cur
rent Year

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov 26.--Full "details
of the work done on the Panama canal
during the fiscal year 1907 with a showing
of what has been accomplished since the
project has been in American hands, are
disclosed in the annual report of the
isthmian canal commission, made public
today
1t is the first report made Of operations
on the isthmus since construction work
has been in charge of army engineers.
Aside from the $50,000,000 paid to the
French company, and to Panama, an ag-
gregate of $lS,2S5. .11O has been expended
by the government on the project adopted
by congress, and which it was estima ted
by the board of consulting engineers
would ultimately cost $139, ,705 200. This es
innate, however, did not include sani-
tation and expenses of the zone govern
ment, waterworks, sewers and paving in
Panama and Colon, and the re-equipment
of the Panama railroad
There is no reference in the report to
the proposition which has been brought
forward to extend the width of the locks
to 10 feet, so as to accommodate without
difficulty the extreme breadth in the de-
velopment of ship building, and this will
be made the subject of a special COM
munication from the commission.
strong position is taken favorable TO
continuation of the policy of doing the
work by hired instead of by contract
labor a step at one time seriously con-
sidered by the administration, and many
arguments are presented to justify the
commission in its conclusion that the
canal can be built better cheaper and
moro quickly by the government
Sanitation, upon which so much de-
pends for the comfort and health of the
employees, is treated of in the report. A
statement is made of what has been
done and the declaration made that
there was no yellow fever originating on
the isthmus during the year,
AS bearing ON the question bf the suta-
bility of the foundations for the proposed
lock sites. the report quotes from the
conclusions OF boaru of consulting en-
gineers who made a personal exami-
nation of tie material at the lock sites
and which found that all of the locks
of the dimensions then proposed QS5 foot

NEW YORK BANKS
ARE ENCOURAGED
CASH PAWN ENTs ARE TO BE
RESUMED SOON

an Early Return to Entirely
Normal Condl-
tions
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.--New York bank
ers are looking forward TO resumption
of cash payments within a very short
time.
The return to a strictly cash basis in
banking transactions is largely dependent
upon the loan rates on money. These
rates are steadily declining, and call
money practically went begging in Wall
street late today at per cent and below.
Rates on time loans continue compare
tievly high, but are gradually being low
cred. BY the time the time loan rate
reaches per cent 1t is believed the bank
ers will feel assured enough of their posi-
tion to resume cash payments.
New circulation from the issue of per
cent treasury certificates of Indebtedness
will be available within few days, and
this will be important In Fastening the
return to the usual banking system.
The premium on currency was In evi-
dence again today, but the rates were
nominal and the demand comparatively
light The early disappearance of all
premiums was freely predicted.
While it is declared that the New York
banks are in a position to resume currency
payments at once, many such payments
having been made within the past few
days, they are said to be awaiting assu--
ance from the interior that the wants OF
the cities there have been satisfactorily
supplied. So long as the interior demands
are heavy the New York banks are m
clined to hold their currency in readiness
fer transfer and 10 ask the Indulgence OF
their local patrons to the extent of ac-
cepting checks, which are being handled
with comparatively little inconvenience.

Maxwell was released late last night
from the Raymond street jail where he
had been held prisoner since the three

the suspended bank were returned.
There was some difficulty in obtaining
bail, and officers of the jail reported
