"GReATEST FINANCIAL SCANDAL OF
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY,"
So II is Pronounced by French Financial
Organ-Dc Lcsseps Apparently
I'm Trouble.
fBy Anslo-Amorican cablo to the Dispstch.l

PARIS, FRANCE, July 2.-The inquiry into
the mal-administration OF tho Panama
Canal Company which is now progressing
will probably 70 of n most protracted and
comprehensive character IL it Is really
meant TO make it thorough. The Do Les
seps 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 Lesseps declares that
he courts inquiry. and only fears that u
may be pronounced needless. lie VIII
probably get more than he or his colleagues may
desire. The French publicists who have tr0ui
tho inception Of the canal criticised u As rum
Gus enterprise have taken up the cause Oh ne
Lesssps's dupes once more, and under the icau
OF ". Leroy beauleu are trying TO bring about
genuine and exhaustive Investigation.
THE FEW FRANCS ABSORBED.
The soundest and most reputable financial
organ Ia France, the Econon,ste Franedss' mas
denounced the Panama affair "a " the greatest
financial scandal of the nineteenth century, anu
demands the trial Of the persons responsible Tor
the absorption Of 800, ,000, 900 francs snatched
from the savings OF small capitalists. many Oh
whom have been ruined, and numbers OF whom
are dead from despair.
No innuiry. II is declared, will bo satisfactory
unless Il goes back of tho first attempt at rails
ing capital in 1879. which, ending in failure
was followed by n second attempt In 1881, when
subscriptions were got on the allegation mat
contract had been made with VI. NJ. Couvreux
Hersent to dig the canal throughout under a Tor
felt OF 100000, 900 francs. This contract, u rs
asserted, never existed, though on the faith oil IL
the subscriptions were obtained. A subsequent
agreement with an Anglo-Dutch syndicate, on the
existence of which more capital was raised, Is
also alleged to have had no sufficient validity.
SPECIFIC CHARGES.
In brief, a series Of agreements, on the faith
Of which share-captal was issued, are declared
10 have been fictitious: and many millions are
alleged TO have been sIuandered in brlblng the
press throughout France TO scduce by 'faliacious
statements" the small capitalists to invest,
whilst millions more were appropriated by lead
ing members of the Council Of Admin ration,
having community Of interest with c, rtain Of
the entreprenctus. These Straightforward and
specific charges may become the basis OF one OF
| tho greatest trials OF modern times.
