A cable dispatch from Paris says: 49,
The inquiry into tho administration Of
the Panama Canal Company, which is proceed
ing before ii. Prinet, conseillcr L. cour
d'appel, will probably be of n most protracted
and comprehensive character, if it is really
meant to make it thorough. The De Lesseps
clique is not now the mighty power it was, but it
has still wide influence in high political quarters
and throughout the press. OF course De Les
seps declares that he courts inquiry, and only
fears that it may be pronounced needless. He
will probably get more than he or his cob
leagues may desire. The French publicists.
who have from the inception Of the canal criti-
cised it as a runous enterprise, under the lead
of NJ -Beaulieu are trying TO bring about
a genuine and exhaustive Investigation.

he had ''shadowed'' the day previous and traced
to divers places. among them many of bad re-

STOLE FOR HER WEDDING.
Miss Duff and Mr.. Cameron Arrested Just
Before Marria1e


.- --'- Before Marriage.
Miss Carrie Duff the nineteen year -old niece
Of Levi Bird Duff. well-known Pittsburg at
torney. was arrested upon the streets of that
city yesterday for stealing over g. 900 worth
Of diamonds from several of Pittsburg's lead
| ing jewelers. within the past forty-eight hours.
When taken to the station house she 40 i'm
pressed Inspector McAleese that he afterward
said Of her: "She was the boldest thief that
ever came in contact with. She stood up and
with gesture Of contempt exclaimed: How
dare you. sir, order my arrest in this manner?
What have done? I'll make you pay dearly
for this. Levi Bird Duff is my uncle, and lam
lady, sir, not a criminal"
With her was arrested John C. Cameron, a
well-known young man, who is treasurer Of the
Metropolitan Fishing Club. Investigation re-
vealed that Miss Duff and Mr.. Cameron were
to be married last night Cameron was short
in his accounts. and, furthermore, they needed
money for wedding expenses and wedding
trip.
Inspector McAleese said that after much per-
suasion and several hours continuous effort he
succeeded in getting the young woman's YER
sion OF the story. She denied everything until
the detectives produced pawn tickets, showing
where she had pawned the diamonds. Then
she tainted. After she recovered she said
Cameron had taken out a license to be married
last night; that she told Cameron she would
raise the money, and she had taken this method
of stealing to do it; that was all. Later her
uncle appeared and had her released on his bail
for $4,000.
Friends also went bail for Cameron for
$1,000, and both departed under bond, to APP
pear in court on next Thursday.
Last night they were married Mt the home of
Mr., Cameron and drove merrily away in a
closed carriage.
The diamonds which the young woman ap-
propriated consisted of four stones of special
value. The smart appearance of Miss Duff dis
armed suspicion and gave her success. Her
methods were those of the shoplifter. She sue
ceeded In taking up the diamonds from the
tray when the clerks attention was momen-
tarIly attracted elsewhere. The theft was dis
covered at the Briggs establishment immedi-
ately upon her departure and her description
was Immediately given to the detectives, who
made the arrest within a few moments upon
the street. At the pawnshops Miss Duff said
that mortgage was about being foreclosed on
her house and that if by pawning her jewelry
she could secure money to prevent it she pre-
ferred doing so to selling anything She raised
about S250 on the stones. At the various stores
she gave different names, as she also did at the
pawnshops H. is limited that her family OBJ
