End of French Canal Company.

Paris.-The liquidation of the old
Panama Canal Company, which has
been going on since 1889, was COM
pleted Thursday when the tribunal of
the Seine authorized last payment to
creditors of one per cent. and issued
a decree of discharge to the receivers.
In 1878 a concession was obtained
from Colombia by the Societe Civile In
ternationals Du Canal Interoceanique
for the construction of canal across
the isthmus. This concession was pur-
chased in 1879 for S2,000,000 by a COM
pany headed by Ferdinand De Lesseps
The work of excavating for the
canal proceeded until 1889, when the
company went into bankruptcy, and
disbanded. Great scandals followed
the collapse of the company.
Extensions of time for the compile
ton of the canal were granted in the
nineties to the liquidators of the com
pany. the last naming Oct. 81, 1910,
as the time. A new company was then
organized to prosecute the work, but
failure to do so resulted in treaty be-
tween Colombia and the United States
by which the latter country was to cut
the canal The American Congress-
ratified this treaty, but the Colombian
Congress rejected it.
A revolution in Colombia resulted in
| the isthmus falling into the hands of
| the new republic of Panama and the
Panaman government gave the United
States the right to do the work. In
| acquiring the title to the canal prop
erty. however. obstacles were thrown
in the path of the United States by
the bondholders Of the old Panama
Canal Company and the Individual
stockholders of the new Panama Canal
Company endeavored to prevent the
transfer. Finally. in 1904. in consld-
GRAFTON of s40.000.OOO the United
States was able to take all rights in the

THE GLOBE AND IN EVERY
TONGUE

New York-Ira d. Sankey. known
as an evangelist throughout the Chris
tian world. died Thursday night at his
home in Brooklyn.
Mr.. Sankey was sixty-eight years old.
For the last five years he had been
cation of diseases brought on by over
work. But almost to the very last he
worked at hymn writing. His tours
throughout this country and Europe
with Dwight l.. Moody, the evangelist.
brought him into wide prominence
Sankey. II might be said. wrote gospel
hymns of the world. In China, Egypt,
India. Japan, in almost every language
known to men. Sankey's hymns are
sung. He received large income
from his publications and leaves CON
siderable of an estate.
Among Mr.. Sankey's most familiar
compositions are "The Ninety and
Nine" and when the Mists have
Rolled Away"
His songs are said to have had cir
culation of more than 50,000,0OO copies.
He was rapid composer and wrote
book after book of gospel hymns. Dur
ing the last five or six years of his life
he was interested in preparing and pub
fishing the story of the gospel hymns.
At the same time he saved his wonder
full voice for posterity by singing into
monographs. The records were sent
all over the world. Sankey first met
~. let q.
ISOLATION convention in Indianapolis.
Moody was so charmed with the young
mans voice that he urged him to ac-
company him on his evangelistic tours.
Sankey explained that he was married
and could not give up his position.

cannot get along without you.'
Sankey consulted his wife and they
cast their lot with Mr.. Moody. They
visited Great Britain from 1878 to 1875
and again in 1888 and made tours
throughout the United States. When
Mr.. Moody died Mr.. Sankey felt keen
ly the loss of friend. From that time
he tried to conduct the work alone,
which they had hitherto shared be
tween them, but the task was too great
In 1902, his physical condition com
PEELED him to give up most of his evan
gelical engagements. After his retire.
ment from public life the impression
became general throughout the country
that he was dead.
Mr.. Sankey lived In Brooklyn for
twenty-seven years and 1t was there
that most of his songs were written.
He was a singer from boyhood, and his
voice attracted attention in the Hamlet
of Edinburgh. Pa. where he was born
Aug. 2S. 1910. At the beginning of his
active life he was Methodist, but for
the last seven years he had been
Presbyterian. He is survived by n

DENVER MARKETS

Denver.-Grass cattle are commenc-
ing to move and the run for. the past
week was much more liberal than for
the previous week The more liberal
run enabled buyers to get prices down
in line with the eastern markets which
advanced last week while prices here
were steady. The market is fully Is to
20 cents lower than a week ago, with
the demand active at the decline
Prices here are still higher than at
the f7yer markets and but few cattle
are going on and the few that do go
further have been getting the worst of
II. The outlook is for a gradually in
creasing run of cattle, but. there will
be no heavy run until after the first
Of the month.
There was a. good demand for beef
cattle during the week, but the offer
ings were not very choice Most of the
fair to good western grass steers Of
fered brought $3.50 to s4.35, but right
choice kinds would have brought much
higher prices. Beef buyers are looking
for an adequate supply OF grassers
from the West from now on and the
Indications are that they will be in
good condition.
The only cattle on the market Satur-
day were some feeders going through
under contract. Trade has been light
all the week, the buyers and sellers be
ing unable to get together. Prices are
about the same as a week ago, but the
trade insists that quotations must be
lower to make business.

Mo. APP. P. 612, mo such election
local option election ina city Of
over 25O0 can be held within 60
days either before or after a
municipal election.
Gen. Hadley's opinion evident
.ly was based upon the con
struction to said section, as given
by the Statute and Court Of
Appeals. The state primary
law was then not in existence,
but was enacted in 1907, heace
was not embraced in the Cannon
of Construction as given by said
statute, and has not as yet been
by any Court construed. Gen.
Hadley may be right in his con
struction Of the primary law, but
the lawyers seem to differ and
hold that the primary law will
and does apply and is a general
election in the state, as defined
by the statute above quoted.
AS the primary election law is
a question that lawyers differ
on, we must await the action of
some competent court as to its
application.
1t is clear, though, that a
county election held before June
would be valid, while a city
election held between June and
September would be uncertain
as to validity.
