THE PANAMA CANAL SCANDAL.
Nine. de Lesseps Says That the Investigation
Will Show Who are Guilty,


PARIS, Nov. 23.-Madame de Lesseps, wife Of
Ferdinand de Lesseps is at the country house
of the family at Chesnaye. Madame de Les
seps has been interviewed by a writer for the
Figaro. She said that she had no fear as to
the result of the trial, which she now regarded
as inevitable, and would simply prove
who was actually answerable for any alleged
wrongdoing in connection with the Panama
canal. Madame De Lesseps said, earnestly,
that she was confident in the inf,exible and alb
solute probity of her husband and his sons
A representative of the Figaro also per-
mitted access to Count De Lesseps. The vet
eran seemed sadly enfeehled by age and illness,
and seemed to be in entire ignorance of recent
events. His family make strenuous efforts to
keep him in ignorance.
The criminal prosecution has given a blow to
the effort to restore the Panama canal enter
prise The scheme is regarded by financiers
as miserably weak. 1t it pointed out that
even assuming that two-thirds of the work
could be finished for the amount now asked for,
which is very large assumption, the canal
would not earn even its working expenses until
the other third was finished.
As for the securities to be taken over bv the
new company when the covenanted two-thirds
are finished there is no element of financial
strength in that direction. The lottery
bonds and shares of the old company
represent its only assets, and these precious
bcCuTltleS Can never nave any markelaDlc value
until the waters Of the Atlantic and Pacific
mingle in the center Of the lsthmus.
Charges and countercharges continue to be
exchanged in regard to the responsibility for
the failure of the canal scheme and to fraud
ulent transactions in connection Herewith.
Notwithstanding the excitement among the pub
lie and the scene in the chamber of deputies it is
belevedn political circles that the parliamentary
investigation will not seriously disturb the mass
OF corruption connected with the Panama I'M
dertaking and that the criminal prosecution
will prove fiasco.
The three conservatives and six members of
the left who were Yesterday elected by the cham
Der Of deputies as members of the Panama
canal investigation committee and who subse-
quently resigned, proposed to be reelected to-
day and to have the committee completed by
the election OF more members of the right, who
would be nominated by their colleagues.
The motion Of N. Pourquery de Boisserin to
investigate the committee with the power Of an
examining magistrate will be debated on Sat-
urday and the government will oppose it on the
ground that it would create confusion between
the executive and the judicial powers.

GENERAL NEWS TOPICS.
NEWS OF GENERAL IMPORTANCE
From ALL QUARTERS.
The Late Dr. spurgeon's London Congre-
cation Divided at to His Successor.
bomb Throwers In Brooklyn.

There was an enormous assemblage
at Surgeons Tabernacle on Sunday
evening to listen TO the preaching of
Thomas Sturgeon, son of the late
eminent pulpit orator. The sermon
was one of great power and it can no
longer be doubted that Thomas
Sturgeon is preacher of originality
and force who does not need to depend
upon the prestige of a great name.
The audience was disposed to be
critical, and this fact adds significance
to the many expressions of approval
and the few of dissatisfaction which
were heard. 1t is evident that Thomas
popularity has been steadily increasing
among the admirers of his famous
father, while on the other hand, there
is good deal of criticism upon the
manner in which James Spurgeon,
brother of the deceased, continues to
ignore Thomas in public and private.
James does not seem TO be making any
obtrusive effort to secure the sue
cession to the pastorate himself,
though there is general understand
ing that he considers it in a sense his
right. and his friends are making an
active canvass in his behalf.

The Print Paper Market.

A Chicago special says: Ready-print
houses in the west and northwest and
others who deal largely in white print
paper, are endeavoring to buy extern
sively of this class of goods in view of
the fact that there is likely soon to be
still further advance in price, as in
deed there has already been a percep-
tible upward movement. The rise in
rates is caused by the quarantine which
this government has placed on rags
from foreign countries, the source
from whence comes the greater bulk
of raw material entering into the man
ufacture of print paper. There is a
probability this embargo will last as
long as there is any danger of cholera
getting foothold in this country, and
though print paper has already exhib-
tied an upward tendency the increase
is thought to be only a forerunner of
other and greater advances that will
rapidly follow.

Michigan Crops.

The state weather bureau bulletin
says: In northern counties winter
wheat is being put in, fruit shipped,
and corn and potatoes gathered in.
Corn is an average and fruit good
crop. Frost came Lut did no harm.
In central counties the weather has
been very warm and pleasant. Pas
lures have advanced rapidly, and fields
of early sown wheat are green. The
warmth and sunshine which prevailed
made all crops jump. Many pieces of
corn which it was hardly thought
would come through, matured finely.
Corn cutting is now practically finished.
Fall seeding is about done. The quail
ity of grain harvested has been fully
up to the standard in most of the coun-
ties of that section. The Hessian fly
has been reported as troublesome in
some counties, damaging fall wheat.
Light frosts occurred once or twice at
interior points, but no injury was
reported. In southern counties most
of the seasons work is about done. A
few pieces of corn which matured late
yet remain to be cut, and in some
localities wheat seeding has yet to be
finished. Clover is is being harvested
and light crop reported. Potatoes
also light crop, but better than ex-
pected before the drought was broken.
Fruit was a fair yield, except apples
which were below par.

Bomb EXPLOSION in BROOKLYN.

A dynamite bomb was thrown from
window in the Garfield building,
Brooklyn, n. Y, opposite the city hall.
Providentally, no one was injured,
although the street in front of the
building was as busy as it usually is at
that time in the day. Lena Doremus,
Is years old was standing within 20
feet from where the bomb exploded
and was badly shocked, but escaped
without personal injury, although one
of her shoes was nearly torn from her
foot.
Ex- Mayor Hunter was passing when
the bomb was thrown, and the police
think that it might have been intended
for him although they can give no
plausible reason for this belief. Within
a minute after the explosion hundreds
of people filed the streets and were
with difficulty kept out of the building.
No arrests have been made. Strange
as it may seem, no damage was done
to the building.

Postmaster-General to examine into

report. The committee states that IL

NANCY IS NO NOVICE.
THE LIVELY MARE. NANCY HANKS.
GOES a MILE IN 2:o4.
A Regulation Track at Terre Haute, the
Scene OF This Great Feat---News
Items of General Importance.

Nancy Hanks, that wonderful mare
owned by the widely-known Budd
Doble, has again lowered the worlds
trotting record by going "a mile in 2:O4
on a regulation track, at Terre Haute,
Ind. The feat also goes below the
pacing record and gives this animal
the honors as the fastest horse in the
world.
Over 10, 200 people were in the grand
stand when Starting Judge Walker an
nounced that Nancy Hanks would go
to beat her record of 2:07 made over
the regulation track at st. Paul.
The runner, Abe Lincoln, stood OPP
posite the flag, while Nancy was taken
well up the stretch for start.
Coming like whirlwind down the
stretch, Abe was at her wheel, and
Doble nodded for the word. The clip
was terrible one. She was at the
eighth in IS seconds and at the first
quarter in 81 seconds. The second and
uphill quarter was done in 31M sec
onds, the half being reached in 1923.
The excited crowd began to cheer
but at word of admonition from the
judge lapsed into silence. This was
only broken by murmured "ohs" when
the third quarter was done in 29A sec
onds. Even the judges were appalled,
at the wonderful burst of speed and
thought the mare was running away.
So fast did she come that no one could
tell her gait. On she fled and into the
stretch never faltering.
Doble, with his steady hand and
clucking gentle ''whoas'' to keep her
steady, squared her away for the great
flight home. Even her light hoofbeats
sounded low to the silent crowd. AS
Doble gathered her in for the final
effort he touched her gently with the
of his, and the worlds record was
lowered Il seconds and the record for
regulation track seconds. The 10000
people who saw it sat breathless for a
moment after the little mare passed
under the wire and even Doble, who,
always modest of speech, declared
when carried TO the judges stand on
the shoulders of the crowd and called
upon for a speech, that Il am hoarse.
Nancy Hanks went so fast it took my
breath away"
The day following five heats of the
most terrific pacing meet ever held
were made over the Terre Haute track.
The horses were Mascot, Guy and Fly
ing lib. In the first heat Mascot got
in the fine work which gave him the
laurels. The quarters were: First,
314; second, 3114; third, 2916-break-
ing Nancy Hanks fastest quarter
record of 29%; fourth, 81; the mile in
2:04, thus tying Nancy Hanks trotting

Homestead and were placed in the
hands of the officers to serve. They
started out at Q o'clock and first caught
Crawford and Dierben, who were hur-
ried to the provost guard tents. The
others were caught in quick succession
before the strikers had time to realize
what was happening. AS the prison
ers were spceded TO the prison tents
alarm was taken and many strikers
fastened toward the guard, but were
held back and denied all information.
Several of the prisoners did not know
why they were arrested until safe be-
