Washington, March 21. Senator Morgan, from tbo committee on isth mian canals, has presented to tho sen ate tho majority nnd minority reports o! that committee on tho question of the validity of the titloof tho new Pan ama Canal Company nnd Uh right to transfer tho Panama canal property to tho United States for $40,000,000. Tho objections of tho majority to the title held by that company nro baeod Inrgoly on the relations of tho canal company Ot tbo governments: of Franco nnd Co lombia, but tbo committee also iUh cusses ut length many other phases of the question. Among these is the rela tion of the shareholders who subscribed $200,000,000 to tbo old Panama com pany, whose interests, tho report holds, cannot Ixi lightly regarded. On this point tho report says: 'Tho spectacle of the United States congress nuthorzing tho president, us tho agent of our government, to conduct a trado with such a corporation (tho now Panama Canal Company) without 'consulting France as to tho claim of in dopondoneu it (the new Panama Canal Company) nssortn, will bo entirely now in the history of nations, and its con 'sequences cannot be lightly disregarded. "Among tliopo is tho eerious danger 'of tbo United States being drawn into disagreeable relations witli a large and influential body of tho worthy peoplo of Franco, whoso friendship for uh art been cherished during the entire life oLour republic, and had its origin in magnau Imous Hncrlflcos for our country when this country was in tbo travail pf its birth. Unfortunately, tho report of tho Isthmian canal commission reveals tho fact that tho men who mado this pffer aro chief among thoso who de frauded thofo (100,000 or 800,000 Frenchmen of $250,000,000." Speaking further ot tho obligations of tho now company to the old, tho ma jority say: "If Mr. Eiffol nnd his associates got $40,000,000 from tho Amcriran peoplo, it is well that they aro sheltered Irom tho claims of these defrauded and do spoilod bondholders and stockholders by tho alleged despotism of French courts. They would never oecapo jus tice in Americnn courtB, and would be onoyvo uio-Donuiioiiiors, nua to tho stockH bearing Interest, uoforn ap plying any of it to tbo profits of thoir speculation." Tho minority report, which was pro pared by Senator Kittridgo, complntely upholds the tltlo of tho new Panama company, as will bo fcon from tbo fol lowing extract, which constitutes its oponing paragraph: "Tho tltlo of tho now Panama com pany to its concessions nnd other prop erty appears from tho facts nnd docu ments which have been laid before tho subcommittee to bo clear and freo from nny complications. For n transfer of its. concessions to tbo United States, tbo coni-ont of Colombia is roqulsito, but this consent haH been given by tbo gov ernment of that country us fully as it can now bo given. In cbbo of purchnso of tho cannl by tho United States, dif ferent concessions and different rights must bo obtnined by treaty botwoon thiH country and Colombia, and such a treaty would necessarily involve tho consent of tho senate to tbo transfer by tho company of its rights nnd property on tho ishtmus to tho United Stipes. Such a treaty Colombia has shown and declared its readiness to make. In evory other point, tho right of tho now Panama Cunul Company to transfer its property to tho United States is per fectly clear. Every link in tho chnin of its title, nnd every stop In tho courno by which it became in n position to fell its property, froo and clear, is plain nnd satisfactory." New Cliis of War Vested.
