THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SIGHED.
why the Interstate Commerce Law
Failed to Work.

CHICAGO, November 23.-In the United
States district court today District Attor-
ney Milchrista announced the case of
United States VS.. Thomas Miller,'' the
first of the many cases against Messrs
Swift Egan, Spriggs and other CONNER
cial magnates and railroad officials under
Indictment for violating the anti-discrim-
ination clause of the interstate commerce
law. An imposing array of counsel was
present The Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad was named as a core
spondent. The specific unlawful acts
charged in the Miller case are that during
the summer of 1890 the defendant gave
A. II. Warren &, Co., and Wright& Hoy,
Nebraska shippers, certain rates for 100
pounds for the transportation of corn
from variovs. points to Chicago lower
than the published tariff rates on file
with the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion at Washington. The defence waived
the address to the jury. The first witness
was Thomas A. Wright, of Wright & Hoy,
Chicago. At the first vital question, the
defense suggested that the court admon-
ish him as to his constitutional rights
and Judge Bum said the witness need
not answer any question tending to in
criminate himself After a similar ex-
perience with C. B, Hoy, the next wit
ness, and others, including Vice Presi-
dent Peasley of the c., B. & @. railway,
the district attorney said, with sigh,
s'That is our case.'' The court imme-
diately instructed the jury to find YER
dict of mot guilty.

DYING BROKEN HEARTED.
Ferdinand de Lesseps and His Long and
Eventful Life.

Ferdinand de Lesseps and His Long and
Eventfu1 Life.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the promoter of
the greatest engineering and industrial
enterprise of the nineteenth century, the
Suez Canal, who has been decorated by
nearly all the monarchs of Europe, is ac-
cused in his own native Paris of securing
money fraudulently. The old man Che
was an old man when he completed the
Suez CanaD probably will not live to face
disgrace, if disgrace it is to be. He is 81
years of age.
Count de Lessepss S life is a story of ac-
tion and accomplishment. From the
time of the bombardment of Barcelona
in 1912, when he showed superb physical
courage, until the Panama Canal he has
been the leader in whatever he has been
concerned in. He has dared to attempt
what other men considered folly.
His first conception of the idea of the
Suez Canal came with visit to Said
Pasha, the Egyptian Khedive, in 1854.
On his return to Paris he published a
document setting forth the project. The
great engineers of the world laughed at
him. Robert Stephenson, the English
engineer, said the idea was worthy of a
schoolboy. When De Lesseps heard of
this he brought down his hand forcibly
upon the table and remarked:
''If Mr. Stephenson lives twenty years
Pll give him free passage through my
canal.'' Both English and French capi-
talists were wary, but De Lesseps was a
born organizer, and by means of his
diplomacy and persistent energy he en-
listed the funds necessary to carry on his
enterprise. The canal was formally op-
ened November II, 1869, within two
days of the sixty-fourth birthday of NJ.
de Lesseps, in the presence of one of the
grandest assemblages ever known He
had completed his task within fifteen
wears after his answer to StephensonS S
sneering jeer.
The old man was equally sure that the
Panama Canal would succeed. The
Suez Canal had been mine of money
for its stockholders. The great French
man had cut one continent in two. Why
not another? The idea was fascinating.
The stock was readily accepted on the
Bourse. This was spent and then other
calls were made, and the French people
responded iberally. They had implicit
faith in the capability of M. de Lesseps
to accomplish the undertaking. They
paid in their money, but the only result
was demand for further funds.
NJ de Lesseps still has confidence in
the success of the Panama Canal, but the
investors have not. In his old age he
piteously asks for aid to carry out his
second great enterprise, and he is asked
in response what he has done with the
money already given.
M. de Lesseps does not seem to realize
the great cloud that is about to burst
over him. When he speaks of it, it is
only to say, quietly:
Il have my good days and my bad
days. These are bad days. They will
pass like the rest"
But he is dying a broken hearted old
man

DROUGHT IN KANSAS.
The Ants Were Beaten-Women To Vote
for State Officers.

TOPEKA, Kan, November 22.-The Of
fetal count made by the Secretary of
State shows that the proposition to hold
a constitutional convention was defeated
at the recent election by a majority of
1884. The result is great disappoint-
ment to those anti-prohibitionists, who
hoped to secure repeal of the prohibi-
ton laws. One important result of the
recent election will be the extension of
woman suffrage. Kansas women are al
ready allowed to vote for municipal and
county officers. The platforms of both
the Republican and Peoples parties
pledged the extension of woman suf-
frage to all state officials, and there is no
doubt that this will be accomplished by
the new legislature.

NEW YORK, Novemver 22.-Lord Dun
ravens latest letter regarding his chal-

made public. 1t raises no grave objec-
tions to the terms proposed by the New
York Yacht Club but in some minor par
ticulars expresses a desire to make the
terms conform to the former deeds of
gift. The New York committee replied
as follows:
''If all reference to former and absolete
deeds is omitted, the proposition in your
letter of the 7th of November will be
satisfactory to the committee, and it will
recommend the New York Yacht Club
to accept"
Ex-Commodore Smith said: 'sIt looks

LOCALIZED BRIBERY.
An Alabama Scheme to Wipe Out the
Negro Vote.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, November pa
bill introduced in the legislature, if it
becomes law, will practically do away
with the negro vote of Alabama. The
bill provides that '.All persons whose
state and county taxes, as assessed,
do not amount to So, shall not be
required to pay the same if it be shown
that such persons failed to vote at the
August and November elections of the
previous year." 1t is calculated that so
percent of the negro voters would take
advantage of this scheme to save tax
money by staying away from the polls.
The opinion is that the bill will pass.

HIS AGE SHIELDS HIM.
De Lesseps Not Informed of the True
State of Affairs.

LONDON, November %. = The Stan
dard's Paris correspondent says the fam
lily of NJ. de Lesseps keep him in utter
ignorance of the pl ogress of affairs against
the Panama Canal Company, fearing that
the shock that would be entailed upon
him by the knowledge of what the gov
ernment is doing would have serious
consequences. His health is good but
he is so enfeebled he is obliged to seek
assistance to move from his chair to the
dining table. 1t is supposed that under
these circumstances NJ de Lesseps will
not be compelled to appear in court.
