ILL WILL IN FRANCE.
The Debate in the American Senate
not Well Received.


PARIS, Jan. 6.-The debate in the Ameri-
can Senare on the Panama canal excites i'll
viii here. A friend Of NJ. de Lesseps de-
clares that when NJ. de Lesseps, in 1887,
asked the American minister, Gen. Noyes,
for an explicit statemeu, Of the views of tho
American government, Gen Noyes replied
that, while ho thought the Americans
viewed the project with suspicion, he was
unable to obtain an official statement from
his government.
The Petit Journal states that meeting
of the Panama canal bondholders has ed-
dressed a letter to NJ. de Lesseps Offering
him the Craftsmanship of the new canal
company to be formed by the shareholders
IN the present company. The Journal says
the new company will have a capital of
several million francs, and will take over
the concern from the old Panama company

MORIER NOW CALLED Z FORGER.
Berlius Post Attacks the Authentlclty
of the Baza!ne Letter.

BERLIN, Jan. 6.-The Fost practically ac-
cuses Sir R. D. Morier of forgery. 1t says;
"The wonderful jargon Of the Bazaine let
ter, bristlng with anghcisms and soicisms,
cannot possibly have been written by a
Frenchman. Its language startled Parlslans,
but as they desired to exonerate Sir Morler
at any cost, they overcame the difficulty in
a highly characteristic fashion. 10 effect
their object they simply committed forgery:
The Journal deS DebdtS quietly touched
up the letter from beginning to end, Just as
a French professor would correct an essay,
written by an English school boy, and then
presented it to its French readers with the
text perfect in form aud diction." The Post
prints two versions of the letter.
SIGNED BY BAzAINE.
The KoEnische Zeitung, which first pub
lIshed the original charges against Sir
Morier, intimates that the letter conveys
the impression that it was written by an
Englishman and that only the signature is
Gen. Bazaine's.
The VoSsiSche Zeitun0 says: This new
accusation against Sir Morler is one OF such
exceeding enormity that it can only I'LL
German readers with feeling of profound
shame. Unless proof Of its justness is I'M
mediately rendered, the charge can hardly
fail to have almost an infuriating effect
upon the foreigners.
The Weser Zeitltng deplores the ''palpa-
BILE animosity" displayed In the publication
of the charge, and says: 'Such an odious
occusation should only have been brought
after careful examination had furnished
irrefutable proofs, or at least substantial
grounds, for suspicious. Was this broken
man, Bazaine, a witness whose statements,
ranging as they did beyond all probability,
should have been believed without further
ado2 1t is much to be regretted that the
foreign office having declined to speak, a
settlement of the dispute is left to the press.
AT any rate. the impression appears to pre-
vail that the KOJnische Zeitttng was enabled
to utilize and did utilize semi official sources

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Mr. Bayard is
NOT going to move to Philadelphia to prac-

rmblished every day about Mr.. Bayard's
intentions as to his course after he leaves

them.
GOING BACK TO DELAWARE.
All the truth is that Mr. BaYafd is going
hack TO Wilmington to live in his own
house, aud TO live on his own law practice.
He will stay in Washington for few weeks,
first to get rested, for he has had to work
harder as Secretary of State than ever be-
fore, and at the hardest possible task, ardu-
maliciously thwarted at every turn by
partisan mallenancy. No man ever suffered
more deeply the stings of public ingrati-
tude. The appointment of his successor
will be joyful release to him so far as his
personal comfort is concerned, however
much he may fear for the national safety.

In the peaceful retirement to which he
looks forward SO gladly Mr.. Bayard may
find time to make some permanent addition
to our national literature out Of the treas

but at first he will have to devote himself
strictly to his profession until be builds up
his practice to the hight it reached before
