ure of the Canal scandal.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Paris correspond
ent OF the News says. Brisson hopes to re-
veal the part The clergy took in assisting
Count De Lesseps to float the
Panama canal bones. De Lesseps and
his family were conspicuous for regular
attendance at the church of The Magda-
lene all the time the bubble was being
blown. and each christening in his family
also became public event. Speculation
in Panama coupons went on at the Vati-
can and the clergy go@ heavy commissions
for advising members of their hocks to
inves in Panama Dads.
The event Of the dag is the publication
in Dumonts pa er Of fac-simile letter
written by Baron Reinach.
Baron Reinach's letter was one addressed
to Proust, dated July: Is, 1886, and noti-
fed him of the gilt of a thousand shares of
Panama canal bonds. Proust replies call
ing upon Dumont TO produce proofs.
Brisson has sent DIR. Brourdel with q
staff of physicians and toxicoiogist to
Tervilllers to perform an autopsy ON
Baron Reinach's body.
Monchicourt, before the investigating
committee, declared that the fac-simile
which appeared in Dumon't paper was
genuine and obtained from a letter book
stolen from Baron Reinach. Several
papers tonight are toying to justify the
acceptances of gifts from the Panama
Canal Company.

California May Fail to Send One-spsce

California May Fail to Send One-Space
Wanted by other States
CHICAGO, Dec. There is great demand
for space in the mining building at the
Worlds Fair, and most OF the states
awarded space are fast completing the
arrangements for their exhibit. Cali
fornia. however, is one state which is
showing q decidedly tagging spirit.
Though it was assigned one of the most
desirable parts in the mines and mining
building, in the main aisle, and directly
opposite the Mexico display. the Ca ifornia
Worlds Fair board has not yet accepted
this space. Moreover. in a recent letter to
the Worlds Fair management, the secre-
rary of the California Association said
they were not yet in position to state
whether they desired the space allotted
them or not. Every inch of space in the
mining building is wanted, and several
states who do not know whether they
want TO place the exhibit in the building
or not, are clamoring for an increased
allotment.
The Worlds fair management is consid-
erably wrought up over the lassitude
shown by the California committee, and is
anxiously awaiting reply. The Cali
fornia committee, It is believed, is doing
nothing to fostert the exhibits for this great
buiiding, and is displaying the most vacil-
lating method. making such statements as
"they have not made mp their minds as yet
as to whether they will take space or moi"
II is more than possible that if some def
mite move is not made shortly. the space
assigned to California will be declared
vacant and be allotted to some other states
who show an inclination to make q good
exhibit

end of the mob was intercepted and dis
persed by the police. who broke in from
side street with drawn sabers. The strug-
gle lasted ten minutes, as the men fought
back stubbornly with whatever weapons

knocked senseless with stones, and
two market women who joined the
mob were cut down with sabers. Mean
while, the foremost of the mob
reached the open square before the palace.
They shouted for Justice to the poor"

punishment of the principal officials
