A MIsleading Report.

PARIS. April ia report on the
Panama canal has been sent to tho
liouidator OF the company BY Lieuten'
ant Wise, who has been negotiating
with the Columbian government to pro-
long the concession. The report is a
voluminous document. 1t was appar'
entity prepared with the object oi
concealing amid an endless maze oi
words and reiterated expressions about
sanguine prospects, the actual hope.
lessness of any further enterprise in
that direction. After detailing the ne
gotiations, Lieutenant Wise concludes
"If success with Columbia is not
to remain barren, the hour has
come for a strong resolution To take
immediate and energetic action to save
the capital invested in the work and tC
preserve from destruction the great
project. If underground manoevres
against which it is time to arm, do moi
cause pending financial combinations tC
fail, the unfortunate French public viii
soon recover through the completion Of
the canal the greater par OF the savings
recklessly squandered.

versation with him:
How long will you remain in Ohio?'
he was asked.
II shall be here until Wednesday
morning, when / go back to Washing
ton. I'll be there until the first Of May
and then come out West to remain per
manently."
The Major didn't say in what particu'
lar part of the State he would locate,
whether Canton or Columbus.
"What can you say Of the result OF
your tariff law?"
"Oh. it's too early to talk about that.
The law is working well, so far as !
know, and to the entire satisfaction OF
its friends

"Who will be the Republican presi-
dental candidate next year"
President Harrison, think. He
would be n good candidate. He has
been good President, is man OF
great force OF character and has given

Cleveland, anti-silver letter, free trade

Major Mckinley expressed high graf

he said. "The President has been

"It will be easier now TO obtain sufli-
cient appropriations for providing

Undoubtedly. The nation has come
to fully understand it's weakness and
the result will be beneficial in that those
who have heretofore baked the way will
be less inclined to do So"
.sAnd there will be Il tightening up OF

PREDICTS A REPUBLIC.
Gorilla says Republicans VIII Triumph In
SpnIn and Portugal.

PARIS, May 14.-Zorilla, the exled
Spanish Republican leader, ridicues the
statements published here yesterday as
coming from Il member Of the Portu-
guese Legation and Montenegro, Il Span
ish Deputy, and especially the state
ment that, upon the first attempt to
establish republic in Portugal, the
Spanish Premier would interfere and as
sist the Portuguese monarchy.
Gorilla declares that the Republicans
have already triumphed in Spain, and
that therefore they will triumph in Por-
tugal, and that the affairs of the two
countries are so closely allied as to be
inseparable.
The Lisbon correspondent Of the Lon
don Times denies the report OF revolu-
tionary movement in Portugal, and as
serts that the country is in a tranquil
condition. Some anxiety is felt in re-
gard to the approaching half-yearly
rent day, which falls on May 25.

revenue on tobacco is pledged, has been

The Capitalization of the wealth of this
country into the hands of the favored bene-

the negro is a religious person with
their religion mixed with truth and

fathers.

Mrs. NJ. W. McCreery. Of Colorado,

one blot is Utah, with its Mormonism
and polygamy. The cry for its saliva
ton rests with the Christian women OF
the country.

Mr.. Sonmerville-ThiS isn't ques-
ton of the defendant, but OF the jury.
The Court--What was the question?
The stenographer Reading. a.
Now wish you would tell these gen
tlemen everything DR.. Baird said and
did when he came into the store. OBJ
jected to.
Mr.. Sommervile-I want to raise
another point in this case, which will
make it necessary to hear the witness,
and the Supreme Court has decided it
in IA w. Va.
Capt. Dovener-In Abbott's case?
Mr.. Sommerville-No, not in Abbott's
case. This witness has been examined
before, and we know what it is-she
was examined before the Coroner's
jury
The witness never was.
Capt. Dovener-Oh, no.
Mr.. Sommerville-Wel another wit
ness was, to the same effect. We know
what this witness is, and are not antici-
pating.
Mr.. Sommerville then went on to
explain his point, which was that the
witness was not called to explain fact,
but to prove fact, and he held that
matter was decided.
Capt. Dovener objected very forcibly
to this. He said the facts must be adj
duced in the presence of the jury. "The
facts must be brought out at arms
length, for we are dealing at arms
length here. | don't think these little
side-bar arrangements, and taking the
Court off to one side abiding to a talk
between Judge Campbell and the coun-
sci for the defense, in one corner before
the opening ought to be allowed"
Capt. Dovener little later, after Mr.
Sommerville had addressed the Court,
stating he thought the point raised
would be found to come under the case
quoted by him, jumped up and said
Mr.. Sommervile had no right to ask
that the jury go out; all must
be present and hear what was
said. Mr.. Sommerville attempted to in
terrupt him, but Capt. Dovener de-
clned to allow it, and told him some
what bresquely to sit down and to do it
in a respectful manner. This was not
a moot Court, to be used to try side is
sues in the absence of the jury, before
whom it was proper that all facts should
be brought out. 1t would be error for
the Court to do it,
Mr.. Sommervlle said the Court had
been treated to remarkable exhibition
of feeling over an entirely proper Ques-
ton, and went on, after saying he did
not see where the Court could err, at
least to the advantage OF the defense,
to say this was the very kind Of
a case in which the precaution he sug-
gested ought to be carried out. The
Court would have to have it whether
the Jury was present or not; the evil
