Senator Carter Talks of the President's Visit ■He comes not [ as a Partisan ; President but as t Pres'dent of the United States." Thomas H. Carter arrived from Hel ena shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon to assist in arranging for the reception of President McKinley and party In Butte next month. In speaking of the president's tour of the country Mr. Carter says that Mr. McKinley is making the trip as presi dent of the United States and not as a partisan president. "In the south," says he, "confederates and members of the Grand Army of the Kepublic mingled with each other in the cordial greetings to the head of the nation and the best of feeling prevailed in every city In which the party stopped. The president has decided that it will be Impossible for him to hold receptions in every cit ythrough which he passes, as he desires to devote a portion of the time to sight seeing and his stays in each place are most too limited to permit of receptions. In Butte everybody will de sire to see him and lie cannot shake hands with all. "In arranging for a drive through the city the committee having charge of the matter has acted wisely. From his car riage the president can greet the people In a general way. "When the party started from Wash ington It was the intention of Mr. Mc Kinley to not deliver any addresses, but the pressure at certain points along the line has been so strong that the demands could not be entirely ignored. He will address the residents in this city and probably those Who will then be at work on the hill. "The party will arrive from Anaconda about 11 o'clock in the morning of June 1. and leave for Salt Lake at 3:30 p. m. On arriving here It will be driven I POLICE JUDGE "TOM" BOYLE HANDING OUT DOSES OF JUSTICE.

PANAMA WO RKS AR E FOR SALE French Concessionaires Anxious to Un load Their White Elephant on the United States. New York, May 7.—In order to remove the objection raised by the Isthmian Canal commission, the Panama Canal company, with the approval of ihe Co lombian government, has announced the tg-ms upon which it will sell the Pana ma canal to the United States. The let ter containing the proposal was sub mitted to Rear Admiral Walker, chair man of the commission, by Dr. Mar tinez Silva, president of the Colombian commission. It suggests the appointment of ap praisers. one by the United States and one by the company, these two apprais ers to select a third, the estimate of the board thus formed to be final. No condi tions whatever are attached to the pro posal. It is a clean offer. "The concession of the company con tains a provision." Senor Silva said, * under which It becomes forfeited the moment the company enters Into nego tiations with a foreign government for the transfer of Its rights. Before the submission of the preliminary report, the commission did not have the per mission of the Colombian government to enter into negotiations with the Unit ed States, and M. Hutin, president of the company, was therefore unable to through the city and dine at 12:30, con suming about 45 minutes at the table. This will leave about an hour and three quarters for a trip to the mines which the party is anxious to take. "As to the proposed plan of separating the ladles and gentlemen of the party I would suggest that it be not done. In a city as densely populated as Butte it is a difficult matter to get a party to gether once it becomes divided. The I streets will be depsely packed here about noon and it seems to me that the party should be kept together. The party con tains 48 persons and in each carriage there should be one fnember of the re ception committees, which would make the total number about 100. The trip to the mines ought not to be omitted as the party is anxious to make it. "The mayor, I believe, has been de cided upon as the person to welcome the president and his party. I would sug gest that the one who delivers the ad dress of welcome should make It brief, as the people will desire to hear a few remarks from the president. On the hill the miners will be addressed by the president and it would be nice if Presi dent Soallon of the Amalgamated com pany would make the Introduction. In the presidential party are Secretaries Long, Wilson and Smith, all charming speakers. If any time is to be cut out It should be that given to the parade.

Alice Goldsmith, suspected of stealing $20 from C. P. Harris in East Galena street, entered a similar plea. She will learn her fate next Friday, also. Thomas Muldoon, whose disposition is as pugilistic as his name, was charged with disturbing the peace and with ma licious mischief. He broke loose last announce the terms upon which the concession might be sold. In its pre liminary report the commission referred to his inability to make a proposition, and placed stress upon it as an Impor tant objection in the way of the acquit, si Mon by the United States of the canal. The Colombian government, desirous of removing all obstacles, has given permis sion to the company to state the terms upon which it is willing to sell." The Walker commission estimated the value of the work done and the property of the Panama company at about $34, 000,000. Something, it is believed by the company, should be paid for its fran chise and for the work done, solving the various problems in connection with the construcMon of the canal'.
