Tho Herald says this ncor)ratlon f an American company IH tlm result of negotiations between representatives of t.0 French company, neladin Haron (jpenhelm, who came to IIiIh city from Paris several inrinil.. iJK", and leading finanficrs of America. r)rofi.ntntiv. of tho French con.. pany came to this country omioworoi1 to transfer tho rights of tho company imwng now neen incoriKjnited, the tnniMfer will very shortly bo effected, the transfer to be given formal approval by the shareholders in France. These shareholders receive nbaics in tho now American company in proportion to their holdings in tho old. Tills "Americanizing" of tho Pana ma canal, as ono of tho gentlemen in forested in the new company styled it yesterday, has been brought about in order to place tho I'anama canal on a footing in America more satisfactory to l ho French company, and to place it on tho same base tb tho Nicaragua canal before tho United States govern ment. An isthmian canal commission, with Hoar-Admiral W'alkor ns chairman, is now at work making an exhaustive study of all iwsiblo routes for a canal across tho isthmus of Central America. This commission was created in the closing hours of tho last congress, and $1,000,000 was appropriated for its uso through ttho river and harbor bills. Its rojwrt will undoubtedly be final as far as tho United'States is "concorned as Ut tho best route for a canal. Its par tics, both engineering and exploring, are now scattered ovor Central America, obtaining material to assist tho com mission in forming conclusions. Tho French company, realizing tho imjKjrtanco of tho commission's find ings, has taken tho stops which have been described, behoving that tho canal commission would naturally bo enabled to judgo more impartially between the two routes with both under American control. Tho gentlemen of tho French company long siuco rccognizod that tho undertaking of a canal across Nica ragua either by tho United States or by private parties with tho assistanco or indorsement of tho United States would Ihi a most serious blow to thoir project, but tho American financiers who have formed tho now company, now that tho two routos aro on an oven footing, and that judgment will bo mado only on tho grounds of engineering and general desirability, they arguo that the "Americanizing" of Panama is tho only way by. which tho 400 shareholders can havo any hope of any roturn from tho if200.000.000 which has gono out of France and into tho canal, and they bo Hove that this arrangomont can pro iluco only good feeling botweon tho two countries. Sinco 1881, when tho French com pany was lormcil, tnero nas neon ex pended in work on tho canal somothing liko $8,000,000. Sovoral thousand men, mostly nogrocs from Jamaica, havo been employed, and oxports do claro that tho monoy has boon proproly oxpendod, and that good progress has been mado. Thoro is n largo number of men at work on tho canal at tho proseut timo, and this forco will bo found at work by tho canal commission whon it goos ovor tho routo, which will probably bo during February. Tho canal is about two-fiths completed, nnd tho now American company esti mates that tho cost of completion would bo about $100,000,000. Hilton I'alntliiRK nt Auction. Now York, Doo. 80.

This doublo treaty will have executive forco as soon as tho hwlBH jurists, Messrs. Hlaesi-Honsley and (iol.lau, havo givon a decision in "omgoa Nay arbitration. The decision, it is expected, will bo given in January or February and will probably bo in favor of England, in which case Portugal must pay to Kng land and America an indemnity of 1, 000,000. F.ngland obtained in 1801 from Portugal tho right of pro-cmption in Delagoa hay, and tho cession of Dol agoa hay U Kngland may therefore bo expected in March next. It is possible that President Kruger may now doelaro war on I'ortugal and attack Delagoa at onco. In order to prevent any Interference by Franco or Hussia, Fnlgand con cluded a secret treaty with Germany regarding tho comploto partition of tho Portuguese colonial possessions. Ger many is to receive all tho Portuguese lH)fsessinns in Asia, with 20,000 equaro miles of territory and 1,000,000 inhab itantu. Germany further receives in Africa all Portuguese territory north of Mozambique, except a strip of land three miles wide, for Mr. Cecil Rhodes' trans-African railway. For this tho Gorman government will pay Portugal 25,000,000 marks. REST AT ARLINGTON. Ilurtol of til ii Mnrtyrml Mitliic. Ifuroc of the Washington. Jan. 1.

Charles Christopher, who has nego tiated more largo Atlin mining deals than any other man in tho country dur ing tho season recently closed, is au thority for the statement that there will ho no less than half a dozen large hydraulic plants put in operation in Athn with tho opening of spring. He says tho output of gold in that country will exceed $5,000,000. The gold com missioner collected royalty on about $700,000 this summer, but ho failod to collect on moro than half tho output. There was at least $1,500,000 taken out of the Atlin gold holds this year, nnd noxt year the output will exceed $5,000,000. Last summer tho great majority of the minora did not got to work beforo August 1 , and they all worked small claims and handled most of tiia dirt with shovels.

The Rtrnmrth of textiles is still a feature which finds usuncauon in current statistics of larger season's receipts and sales of wool, and in reports of enlarged old and heavily increasod new capacity in manufacturing lines.
