Insists That Bovine Tuberculosis Cannot Be Transferred to Human Beings. BERLIN, Oct. '2. The sensation of today's (session of the inter nutionul tuberculosis congress came toward tbe end, in the form of a paper by Professor Kocli, in which ho maintained all bis former po sitions regarding the nontransferability of animal tuberculosis to man. Professor Koch wished to be understood that his statements yoferred exclusively to the transmission of bovine tuberculosis. , He asserted that statistics on the subject of intestinal tubercu losis' were too incomplete to establish the frequency of that disease. Professof Koch admitted that cases of tuberculosis do occur among butchers and other persons who handle animals, but he asserted that the petventago of sufferers from the disease among joiners is equally as high as among handlers of animals and meat. FINAL DECISION RENDERED BY KNOX Offer of New Panama Canal Com pany Valid and Title Clear. OPINION GIVEN TO PRESIDENT Company Often to 1'nitctl States All Its tights hihI Proper ties on the Isthmus Of Plllllllllit. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-At-tomey -General Knox has decided that if tho United States should accept the offer of the New Pan ama Canal company -submitted last spring for the sale of tho can al for 140,000,000 it would receive a valid and incumbent title to the property. This decision was arrived at af ter a thorough and exhaustive in vestigation of the situation in Paris, first by special attorney Charles W. Russall and later by Allorney General Knox himself. Attorney-General Knox foimal- ly submitted his opinion to Fresi dent Roosevelt today. It makes about 300 pages. His story and the nature of the French companies of the kind in question are explained at longth. They are said to be alto- gcther different from our corpor ations, but to be easily understood if looked upon as private partner. ships, which is their essential character. Tho opinion says that they are in some respects regulated by laws but that these regulations do not change the essential cliarade: 0' the concerns as partnerships, and do not establish any tie between them and the government or any obligations from them to the gov eminent and do not forbid exer cise of tho liberty to dispose of their property as freely as indi viduals dispose of theirs, if they are solvent and not under some particular contract to retain the proporty. Tho New Panama company is quite solvent and there is no law forbidding it to sell. Attorney General Knox'a opin ion of the title, by which tho com pany offers to the United States all of its rights and poporty on the Isthmus of Panama, opens with a history of the concessions made by Colombia in 1878-1890 etc., the ormation of the De Lessens Panama Canal company of France the failure of this company in 1KK8, tho transfer in 1894 of all rights by Franco liquidator ap pointed by the French court to wind lip the affairs of the old company and of the laws passed by trance concerning the liquid ation of the old comyany.
