Ed uoard Lampre, representing the Pan ama Canal company, appeared before j the senate committee on oceanic ca nals in obedience to the summons of that committee to testify concerning the affairs of its committee and Its proffer to sell ita property and fran chises to the United States. M. Jules Boefve of the French embassy, also was present at the hearing. The meeting was held behind closed doors, representatives of the press being ex cluded. M. Lam pre was questioned at great length by the committee. He fluid his mission to the United States had been to ascertain to whom the proposition ' for the sales of the Panama property should be made.. Having Informed himself upon this point he had con ferred with Admiral Walker, chairman of the Isthmian Canal commission as to the form of the offer. He had then I cabled his principles, the result being that the offer to sell for 140,000,000 had been mad directly from Paris and not by him. He said that It was his understand ing that the proposul Included both the franchise and the property of the Panama company, but not the money in its treasury, of which there Is about PS.OOO.OO francs. M. Lampre wan questioned especial ly concerning the tide of the present Panama company, several members of the committee expressing doubt as tu w hether those now claiming ownership had secured unquestionable title. He replied that they had made their pur chase through the liquidator of the old company and that the transfer was regular. in response to other questions, h ald that In case the transaction should he consummated the money would be distributed among the mem ber of the i Initial company and those -of the prewnt organization by arbitra tion. He said the proffer of his com pany had been mad" in gisid faith rul that 4 he company was able to "deliver the goods." In response to Inquiries, M. Iampre contended that the new company had h perfect right to sell the property, and that to do so would not infringe upon the rights of anyone. Senator ill organ asked what the corporation had hen organized for, and the wit ness replied that the purpose was to build nal. The senator then aked Whether an attempt to cell the canal was not a proceeding In bad failh. M. "Xritnijir n,lr,t;;Md th::t it wa? vt. He alio said thut the American Pan ama Canal company had been organ ized In New Jersey for the purpose it disposing of the properly in t .Is country. "As a matter of fHi t." said Mr. Mor gan, "you ipM-u,t' to have had the canal on the bargain counter over since the company was oig.mlzed." The witness protested to the con trary. He also said that tile old lot tery le h- nie wns Still In existence. The cortipuiiy had abandoned all Idea of a -a-level canal. The French law, he said, could not prevent the transfer if the canal to the United States, as the canal company was a perfectly In dependent concern. The fttct was developed at the hear ing that the bonded Indebtedness of the old company was Ml,000,000 francs and ulso thut the since the new com pany had come Into control It had paid 2.)0,ih)0 francs to the. Columbian government for concessions. It wa also shown that the lease from that government was for nluely-nlne years sou th-t at !!! "d of that time the pri.perty would revert to Colum bia. M. Lampre was questioned at length about the Panama railroad, but said he knew little or nothing about lis affairs. M. Boeufve was ask'-d wh'ther the preposition to' sell the cunal for (sifl.WO had been r.ui-'e wlih the author- fly of the French government. He re plied in the negative, saying that the government had no connection what ever with the transaction. QUAiL AS pToVeTaTsHaW BANQUET. Ie Moines, Ia Jan. 14.

President Kruger la reported to be deeply moved by the utterance of American sympathy,' aa well a the substantial aid given to the Boer ratine by American. British re ports of Kruger's decrepitude are not well founded, according to an Ameri can who recently visited him. While he shows the effect of ad vanced age, tnlnd 1h clear and alert, and he Is well Informed aa to conditions in the field. He still hopes for Boer Independ ence, having a fervent belief In Prov idential Interference. " "You can see," he said, "what the Kngllsh would have done to America If they had succeeded in putting down the revolution. They would have tried to wipe the Americana out of existence J Growers' convention here were the ad i they are doing with the Boers In : drew of President Hill and the adop South Africa. tlon of resolutions commending Mr. "Vou see England has not changed, .

BOERS TO ASK FOR PEACE. London, Jan. 15. A repoit which came from well Informed quarters was current in the city today that the Boer chiefs had made overtures to the Brit ish government to the effect that they were prepared to lay down their arms provided they were not exiled. Wed nesday next Is the Boer feast day, and It was said that the surrender of the Boers w ould probably occur .then. The war officials asserted that no propos als to surrender had been received from the Boers. Amsterdam, Jan. 14. The Boer dele gates in Holland expect that some kind of peace overtures will shortly be made, though they are reticent as to their reasons for this belief. They maintain, however, that the demand for unconditional surrender must he abandoned. Jt la privately admitted that the del egates will not reject what they fall "any fair offer of terms." If the nego tiations are started by a neutral pow er the delegates will earnestly seek to obtain a modus Vivendi, which will reconcile Mr. Kruger'a desire for com plete Independence wjth the terms of fered by Great Britain. PASSES FOR ALL LEGISLATORS. St. Paul. .Minn., Jan. 14. For the first time in the history of the Min nesota legislature the 19 members of the house and senate, have been sup plied with passes on three transcon tlental roads during an off year. It has been the regular thing with most roads to supply the legislators with free transportation Just before the regular sessions of the legislature. The present distribution Is attributed by many to the coining extra session. Contrary to Its usual policy, thi Northern Pacific is one of the moving parties this year. Heretofore it has only been upon the special request of legislators, and after going through a certain amount of red tape that the. Northern Pacific has put them on tha free lis teven in nguiar session years. One Minneapolis member of the senate, who has been In the legislature for a decade was greatly surprise upon re ceiving the Northern Pacific; compli mentary. 'It 1h the (list pass they ever gave me,' he explained. "I never asked them for a pass but once before and I was turned down on that." TO CONNECT LAKES WITH MISSISSIPPI. Chicago, Jan. 14 Several drainage board officials left for Washington this afternoon to make a ppllciitlpon to con gress for an appropriation of $200,000 to be lined In surveying the route of the proposed waterway between the great lakes and Mississippi liver and making estimates of the cost of the Improvement.

TWO years ago the dinliiiige trustees went to Washington ami their work In the Interest of the deep waterway project. The. bill providing for the ap propriation was passed by the house of representatives, but was lost In the senate, because the entire river and harbor bill was defeated.

Defend tho Securities Company and Say Reduction In Rata and Bat- tor Service) Aro Coming. Fargo, N. V., Jan. 14. of the Tri-State C.raln -The features and Cattle convention prior to the arrival of Mr. Hill. An attempt was later made to have these particular re"hii ions stricken out, but the attempt failed, and the resolutions stand a the sense of the convention. The resolutions are as follows; "Resolved, That we, the members of the Tri-State Grain Growers' associa tion, express qur appreciation of the executive work done by the North Dakota and Pan-American commission at Buffalo and recommend that the I legislature appropriate such Hum as may be deemed adequate and necessa ry to fully and thoroughly present at the Louisiana Purchase exposition at St. Louis in 1903 the vast resources of our state and Its advantages aa a place of residence. "The natural and logical line of transportation for the products of the norlhcst American states is from the nearest point on the Pacific coast to the next nearest point on the great lakes, through and traversing the great basin of the upper Mississippi, the valley of the Red River of the North, the headwaters of the Missouri and the fertile lands lying between the Canadian border and the Colombi an river. BEST ROUTE FOR TRADE. "The trade destined for the north middle and western states can best reach its destination by this route and to divert to the south or encourage Its transportation through the prov inces of Canada would not only add to the cost of the delivered goods, but would deprive the mate from which it would be deflected of their share of the tax upon the gross earnings of the roads carrying It and' thereby deplete the revenues of the states throush which it would be carried were the ordinary rules of commerce followed. "It is the sense of this meeting, therefore, that in resisting the at tempts of the Union Pacific railroad and its allies and the Canadian Pa cific railroad and its feeders on the other hand to secure control of the Northern Pacific railroad, James .1. Hill has performed a notable public and once more displayed the far sighted and ' business like poli cy that has characterized his long ca reer as the developer of northwestern resources and the most watchful guar dian of northwest Interests. COMMENDS HILL'S WORK. "Mr. Hill built a great transconti nental railroad through a wilderness that haa grow n through his efforts into the richest empire on earth, and never axked a bonus or subsidy. He has connected that railroad at one euu with a fleet of vessels that carry American products to the Orient and bring back the oriental trade to the northwest and to the whole nation and at the other end with shipping facili ties by water to the Atlantic, seaboard all this, too, without a dollar of bo nus or the semblance of a subsidy. "Trusting to the resources of th" country for the traftio to Justify ex tension, he has entered every section that needed transportation facilities and constructed, often at a loss to himself, lines into sparsely settled and unproductive communities. "During all the years of railroad building there has been a regulaiiy marked reduction of freight tarifts, according as the volume of Unfile In creased and warranted It and a uni form disposition to make temporal' sacrifice for the permanent impiove nient of th country. HAVE FAITH IN THE .SCHEME. 'In view of this record and In rec ognition of the honorable and upright course of James J. Hill In his dealings with the farmers of the northwest, we congratulate Ihe country upon his success In preventing the absorption of the Northern Pacific by Union Pa cific Interesta on the one hand and Inc. Canadian Pacific manipulators on the other, and express our confidence In the purpose and ability of Mr. Hill to give to the state of Minnesota and North and South Dakota the best an I cheapest transportation facilities to be had by the people of any suction of the country. "Two yours ago Mr. Hill came to our convention and gave us some good points on dlvernllicd farming and oth er matters of Interest to the farmers of the northwest and stated that he would furnish free transportation to delegations of farmers from the differ ent counties of the state to visit the SCHWAB SETS A 8000 EXAMPLE. Ulce, Jan. 13. Interest In Lord Ross lyn'a doings have been eclipsed by President Bchwab of the steel trust. Me started playing maximums at Monte Carlo yesterday, tho crowd pursuing him from table to table. He won I7.M0. Resuming today, the ex citement was Indescribable. After los ing 110,000 at one table, he went to tho next, staking the maximum, $34, M number eight, Eight turned up agricultural college and atate farm, which offer many farmer have ac cepted to their great satisfaction and benefit. "He also stated that he expected to build some large steam vessels, cost ing a number of millions of dollars, to put on the Pacific, ocean trade to the Orient. We notice by the dally press that this statement Is being fulfilled and that it will make a new market for the farmers of the northwest. As Mr. Hill is expected to address us again this afternoon, we should wel come him with a hearty handshake." PLAN A RECEPTION TO SCHLEY. Chicago, Jan. 13.

NAVEL COMMITTEE IS ORGANIZED. Washington, D. C, Jan. 13. When the house committee on naval affairs met for organization, Representative Rixty of Virginia proposed that the various pleasures relating to Admiral Schley be considered by the commit tee as a while insteud of waiting tlvj consideration of a subcommltteee.

C, Jan. 14 The overthrow of Castro In Venezuela will be followed by the dispatch of the en tire North Atlantic squadron to the waters of that country. A formidable American naval demonstration will then take place at La Guayra. H will consist of the battle ship Indiana, now at Curacao; the battle ships Kear sarge, Alabama and Massachusetts and the gunboat Marietta, all under the command of Rear Adlmarl Higgiu son", commander in chief. British, French and German vessels are also gathering in the vicinity of A'enezuela and these nations will be represented at La Guayra in case of trouble. Because the administration, deems it advisable that the senior offi cer present shall be an American, it desires that Rear Admiral Higginson shall be with his flagship at the sea port of Caracas when conditions re quire it. ORDERS NOT YET ISSUED. No instructions have yet been issued to Rear Admiral Higginson to sail for La. Guayra. AVllh his squadron he is maneuvering off Culebra Island. From Culebra he will sail for Guantanamo, touching en route at a Porto Rican port. The authorities say that it is unnecessary to direct Rear Admiral Higginson to be in readiness to pro ceed to Venezuela. He is prepared to sail the moment he is ordered to do so. No comprehensive advices regarding the situation have been received by the state department. Such Informa tion as has come Is of a fragmentary character. It confirms the press dis patches showing tha.t the revolution is making progress and the intimation is thrown out that Castro will not be able to maintain himself at the head of the government. If Castro is defeated, anarchy, It is feared, will prevail for a time. Ameri can Interests In A'enezuela are exten sive and they must have protection. The Indiana will be able to reach La Guayra in a few hours and can land a force sufficient to proceed to Cara cas and protect the American legation If It is In danger. RUMORS ARE DENIED. Official denial is glvn to reports that the purpose to assemble , the American men-of-war In Venezuelan ports ha-s any connection with the proposed demonstration of Germany and the reported Intention of France to carry out a programme similar to that of the Berlin government. Germany is considerately awaiting the outcome of the revolution in Ven ezuela, as she promised the authori ties here she would do. It is confi dently expected by the administration that if Matos succeeds Castro us pres ident it wilj be able to use Its influ lo obtain an amicable settlement of the questions pending between A'ene zuela and European states. ARE' OF FOR THE VENEZUELAN COAST. Washington. Jan .13. It Is prob able tljat Admiral Higginson, with his flagship, Kearsarge, and several other vessels of the North Atlantic squad ron, will shortly repair to Venezuelan waters, making his headquarters at La Gpayra. The ships which Admiral Higginson will take with him on this cruise will have an unusually large complement of marines aboard. These precautions arc taken, not with any offensive intent toward A'enzuela, but merely to guard against an 'outbreak of anarchy and rioting in the event that the revolutionists should prevail over Castro's forces In the field. Ow ing to Admiral Hlgglnson's high rank, he naturally would command any joint operations that might be incident to the landing of the naval forces of va rious nationalities. PLANS FOR A NEBRASKA EXHIBIT. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 13. The Ne braska commission for the Louisiana Purchase exposition met in the gov ernor's office and organized by elect ing G. W'. Wattles of Omaha chair man, and E. K. Bruce, also of that city, secretary and treasurer. Plans for a state exhibit were discussed, but most attention was devoted to the va rious methods of raising funds. What agreement was reached, if any, will not be made public for several days.

A Waahlngtot special to the Daily News says: The visit of Attorney General Doug las of Minnesota to President Roose velt and Attorney General Knox, Ii regard to the Great Northern Secur ities company merger, has developed the fact that both the president and the attorney general are in favor ol legislation which will place the rail roads of this country under govern mental control. Attorney General Knox, who is sup posed to be the friend, advocate anc defender of trusts and combines, talks openly on the subject. He believet -lhat nnleHH thr re is K44aa leg-lwlatlva action In this line the representatives will continue to combine and make financial deals which will prove disas trous to the business and financial in terests of the country. President Roosevelt agrees with Mr. Knox. It was because of this firmly fixed conviction that Mr. Roosevelt, In. his message to congress, made the strong recommendation that the pow ers of the interstate commerce com mission be enlarged. The president believes that the interstate commerce, law should be changed so that the commission will be answerable to the president direct for Its acts. There are several bills in congress providing for the enlargement of the commission's power, but none have been acted on so far. t RAPID PR06RESS ON THE NEW SHIPS. AVashington, D. C, Jan. 16.
