Young, president of tin United State Mortgage ft Trust Com pany. lu addition to theae, several banking leu - s In San Francisco and in citlo In the Houth and West are interested In tho company The Herald say this incorporation of an American company U the result of negotiation between representative of the French company, including Paron Oinheira, who came to thi olty from Paris several month ago. and leading financier of America. The representative of the French com pany came to thi country empowered to transfer the rights of the company having now been incorporated, the trunafer will very shortly be effected, tin tranifer to lie given formal approval by the shareholder lu France. Thee shareholders receive share in the new American comjiany in proportion to their holdings in tbe old. This "Americanizing" of the Pana ma canal, as one of the gentlemen in terested in the new company styled it yesterday, has been brought about in order to place the Panama canal on a footing in America more satisfactory to the FremJi company, and to place it on the same base a the Nicaragua canal la-lore the United Suites govern ment. An isthmian canal commission, with Kear-Admlral Walker as chairman, i now at work making an exhaustive study of all possible routes for a canal across the isthmu of Central America. Thi onmnilwiou wa created iu the cl..-ung hour of tho lat congress, and 11,000,000 was appropriated for its use through tthe rlvor und harbor bills. Its report will undoubtedly be final as far aa the Unite, IJStatcH Is ot neerned ai to the best route for a canal. Its par tie, both engineering and exploring, aro now scattered over Central America, obtaining material to u"ist the com mission In forming conclusions. Tho French company, realizing the Importance of the commission's find ings, has taken tho steps which have ban flMorihgrl. balitvtnj that the canal commission would naturally bo enabled to Judge more Impartially between the two routes with Isdb under American control. The gentlemen of tho French company long since recoguiied that the undertaking of a canal aero Nica ragua either by the United States or by private artiea with the assistance or indorsement of tho United flutes would be most oriou blow to their project, but the Ainericnu financier who have formed tho new compiiuy, now that tho two routes aro on au even footing, and rJiat indirment will lie made only on the grounds of engineering and general desirability, they argno tnai me "Americanizing" of Panama 1 tho onlv war bv which the 4i 10 shareholder can have any hope of any return from the 1200,01)0,0110 which has gone out of France and into the canal, and they be lieve that this arrangement can pro duce only good feeling between the two countries. Since 18H4, when the F'rench com pany was formed, there has been ex ponded in work on the canal something like 98,000,000. Several thousand men, mostly negroes from Jamaica, have lavn employed, and experts de clare that the "money has been proprely expended, and that good progress has been made. There is a large numlier of men at work on the canal at the present time, and this force will bo found at work by the canal commission when It goes over the route, which will probably lie during February. The canal is alsnit two-nths completed, and the new American company esti mate that tho cost of completion would bo about 9100,000,000. Hilton I'alnllnga al Anellan. New York, Dec. 80.
