II rs sad to see career as notable as
that OF M. de Lesseps going out under a
clond which even his great triumphs s
cannot expel. Until this eminent man
wrecked himself, his fame and the for
tunes of his couhtrymen in the stupend-
GUS fiasco of piercing a ship canal
through the continent at the isthmus of
Panama, no one held higher place in
the esteem of the world as one OF its
greatest men of practical genius. Up
TO a few years ago parties going by car
riage from Paris to Versailles invariably
got out at rather pretentious building,
now an inn, near the latter town, to
take view of the house in which de
LeBseps was born. That is over now,
and the great canal builder is closing his
career, at the age OF 81, bending under
an unbearable load OF blame from mil
lions of poor people who were lured by
his great name into putting their little
al into shares in this studendous Pana-
ma failure.

Attempts to XIII President Montt and
Colonel Canto.
New YORK, Feb. I6.-A Valparaiso
cablegram to the HERALD affirms that
plots to kill both President Montt and
General Canto, have been discovered and
thwarted. The attempt on President
Months life took place last Sunday night.
The miscreants engaged in it removed
the rails three kilometers north of
Maule station. The intention was to
wreck the train which Montt was an
nounced to take. Luckily Montt stopped
off at Chillion, and moreover the re.
moval OF the rails was discovered before
any damage was done.
When the Santiago express arrived at
Llaillai yesterday, General Canto left
his seat in q Pullman car to take break
fast. Upon returning he found the seat
saturated with kerosene burned match
es were discovered near by. There is
no clue to the perpetrator.
The Austrian corvette Fasana arrived
here Yesterday. She will remain in this
port for week and then sail for San
Francisco.
