They saw the lights of the Bteamer, and say that the Walla Walla attempted to cross their bow. They are emphatic in their declaration that the collision was not their fault.

Two buildings on the principal street of the line of the procession have been provided, from which the members of the legations will be permitted to witness the re-entry of the court. This Is. an unprecedented concession. The foreign ministers have decided. In consideration of recent events, not to witness the re-entry of the court. This decision Is strengthened by the fact that the majority of the ministers have not yet presented their credentials. It Is surmised in some quarters, however, that if the proposition of the Panama Canal "ompany to sell its property and franchises for $40,000,000 should be made as promised this may have the effect of opening a wider field of discussion than at first seemed probable, and If -this should prove to be the case the bill may be before the house for a longer time than Is now contemplated.
