Representative Rainey Pre-

DEMANDING THE PAPERS
Expect Nothing But Talk-This the At

Think France VIII Not Take
Hand in It

Washington, Dec. misrepresentation
Rainey of Illinois, who has introduced a
resolution calling fol the papers IL the
Panama canal purchase transaction Is
busily engaged in loading himself with
information ON the subject, preparatory
to the speech he expects TO make In
the House in support Of the measure
before the holidays.
Mr.. Rainey Is wading through great
mas OF books and documents. He said
yesterday be hoped to address the House
next week. He proposes to leave 70
the Senate Democratic leaders the matter
of taking any steps that may be deemed
essential for an international investiga-
ton.
These Senate Democrats are still en-
gagged in trying to ascertain whether 1t
Is feasible to conduct an investigation by
sort OF international arrangement
through which the processes OF the
French courts can be invoked to compel
the attendance of persons and papers
under French jurisdiction. II is the be-
lief in administration quarters that moth.
ing will talk out of which the Democrats
in each house hope to make political
capital.
Some TO the House Democrats think
Speaker Cannon, by reason OF his feeling
against the president, might let a reso-
luton through. II is pointed out that
it is doubtful If France would consent
to have any hand in an investigation
the ends Of which would be largely
political and would not be directed to
uneoyering anything actually criminal,
however Objectionable the alleged course
Of certain parties may have been from
a moral or ethical standpoint.

MAGAZINE REVIEW.

In an able article in the December
number of The North American Review
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge discusses the
Significance of the Results of the Elec-
ton" The general significance Of the
election to which Senator Lodge calls
attention is the fact that the Republican
party seems to retain the confidence of
the country in undated measure. The
special significance of the election is that
the country at large has set the seal
of its approval upon the administration
and the policies of Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr..
Lodge dwells upon the surprising fact
that in the forty-eight years which have
elapsed since 1860 the Republicans have
had complete control of the government
for thirty years, and besides have con-
trolled one or more branches of the gov
eminent for sixteen years, the Democrats
having had complete control of the gov
eminent for only two years. He says:
1T has come to pass that the people
have again committed the government of
the country TO the republican party for
another four years. This renewal Of
power brings with it heavy responsible
ties, for there are many very serious
questions just now to be dealt with at
Washington 1t is not moment for
wild exultation on the part of Reupbli-
cans, but for very sober reflection as to
the duties which lie before them. The
party is fortunate in having as president
one Of the best men ever chosen to that
great Office. No man better equipped
and better trained was ever nominated
by any party for the presidency. He
not only takes with him hts training and
experience, as well as wide knowledge
OF the work Of the administration and Of
diplomacy, but he is imbued with
fine spirit of disinterestedness and has
a complete sense 81 his great RESPONSE
bilities. he is entirely fit TO be president
of the United States, and it Is not pos
sible to give him higher praise. Under
his leadership, we may confidently hope
that the Republican party will meet the
responsibilities which lie before it as
successfully as it has met them in the
past, for responsibility is not new to the
Republican party; and, although there
have been moments in its career when ii
has hesitated, it has never in the end
failed to rise to great opportunity or
shrunk from settling difficult and per
picking questions

PRESIDENTS STATEMENTS TRUE"
Solicitor General Hoyt Says That Roose-
welt Was Absolutely Correct.

Washington, Dee Solicitor Gen.
eral Hoyt in commenting Tuesday upon
the presidents letter to Mr.. Foulke re-
garding the payment for the Panama
canal said:
Il furnished to the president the facts
concerning the method of payment of
the money for the Panama canal to the
French people. The presidents state
ments are absolutely true. The money
was paid at the Bank of France TO the
liqudator, NJ. Gautron, appointed under
the decree Of the Civil tribunal Of the
Seine, having jurisdiction Of the case,
and the amount was apportioned' between
the new and the old companies in the
exact proportion decided in this decree
of the civil tribunal of the Seine The
action of this civil tribunal was the ac-
ton Of the French government, Just as
any decision Of the courts here i the
action Of the government. ANY pretence
to the contrary is mere bubble over

PAID FRENCH GOVERNMENT.
]. p. Morgan s. Company on the Canal
Purchase.


New York, Dec. l0-Details of the
s100O0,00O payment are still fresh in the
minds OF foreign bankers because of the
extraordinary exchange operation of
1904 at the time that the final payment
WIS effected with the heavy gold ship
ments which it involved. At the office
Of J. r. Morgan & Co it was said Tues
day that the S40,o0o000 payment was
made by them TO the French government
direct and that the firm acted as ex-
change bankers alone, effecting the trans
fer of the funds for stated commission.
In other wordsfi the transaction was an
exchange operation pure and simple, so
far as the Morgan firm was concerned.
The bankers do not know what became
Of the money after it was paid to the
French government. The shareholders
of the Panama Canal company met in
Paris on April %. 1904, and ratified the
sale Of the property to the United States.
At that meeting 343,49 shares of the
canal stock were represented, and only
five shares were voted in opposition to
the purchase. One or two blocks were
tied up in litigation, but that fact did
not prevent the contamination Of the
deal. At the time the payment was ef.
feetsd the government took S23, 900, 900
out Of the treasury, and SIT 900, 900 from
the depositary banks in various sections.
The out OF town depositaries paid their
to ten banks of this city.
and on certain day these banks trans
ferred the sum in question from the ac-
count of the treasurer of the United
States to the account Of j. P. Morgan s.
Co, 50 as not to disturb the money mar
ket. The Morgans had been heavy buy
ers Of exchange for several weeks preyi-
