PETITIONS AND CLAIMS.

The petition of Silas Wentz to improve
part Of Sixth street, between Central and
Steuben, was granted, with the proviso that
all approaches to said street be made passa-
BILE for teams, and that upon the final
grading of the whole street Mr.. Wentz be
allowed his proportion of the grade tax,
according to the number Of yards of dirt
removed at contract price. Mr. Wentz ad-
dressed the council, stating that it would
be greatly to the advantage Of himself and
the city TO have the grade stakes set at
once, so he could proceed with the work,
and upon motion of Mr.. Frisch the grade
stakes were ordered placed at the des-
ignated point.
Upon recommendation of the committee
on judiciary, the claim of Mrs. e. M. Gale
for alleged damages to lot 8, block 10, aris-
ing out of the grading Of Main street, was
laid on the table

The petition of Paul II. Neuffer, asking
to have the $500 exemption deducted from
the valuation of his personal property, was
granted and the tax was ordered stricken
from the roll.
The matter Of the application of George
D. Messegee for the vacation Of Messegee' 5
addition, came up for discussion and was
referred to the city attorney, with instruc-
tions to draft an ordinance in accordance
with the prayer OF the petition.
The Sisters of Charity of Providence
academy presented a petition asking that
their taxes be rebated for the reason that
they had to spend considerable money in
repairing the damages done to the property
/ by the street improvements. The claim
was referred to the ways and means com
mittee with power to act.
Geo. L. Sickels presented a petition ask

The Panama Canal SWindle and
the Wien Who Perpetrated it is
the Talk of all France-Resi-
dences Searched.
PARIS, Dec. 16. - Charles De Lesseps,
Marius Fortune and M. Sanleroy have
been arrested by the direction of Minister
of Justice Bourgeois, for alleged connection
with the Panama canal frauds. Henri
Cotter, for whose arrest an order was also
issued, has fed to Vienna. Sanleroy is
charged with having accepted bribe as a
member of the chamber Of deputies. The
charges against the officers Of the COM
pany are that they jointly made use Of
fraudulent imaginary credit, that they dis
sipated the capital entrusted to them for
a specific purpose and swindled others out
of part of all their means of living. These
offenses come within reach of seven articles
OF the penal code.
Besides making the arrests, the authori-
ties searched the residences of De Lesseps,
Fontaine, Cotter and Lanteroy and seized
a mass of documents, throwing new I'M
portant light on the Panama frauds and
corruption. The only topic of conversa-
ton in political and social circles is the
Panama scandal and the arrests today. 1t
caused the greatest excitement, although
rumor had it last night that such action
had been determined upon. What the
outcome will be no one is able to predict,
but it can be said that those who have the
best interests of the republic at heart are
deeply grieved at the veniality and selfish
ness displayed by the men in high posi-
tions, many Of whom were sworn to pre-
serve the honor of France.

MR.. LEMONS CLAIMS
Why He Employed Additional
Help as City Engineer.

An Explanation That Resulted in
the Purchase OF Maps From MIR.
LemOn-A Big Grist of Claims
and Petitions.
City Engineer Lemon addressed the
council last night in explanation of the
draughtsman, amounting to SIG, which
had been referred to Mr.. Lemon for pay
ment by the council at the last meeting
He stated that he had employed prefes-
sional in that line of work because he
could do it at lower rate and do a better
grade of work than he could himselfin that
particular department. The work had
been performed on the sewer map and on
the Westside roadway for the purpose of
making permanent record of those mat
ters. Mr.. Lemon considered it necessary
to engage additional help in view of the
tact that he was actively employed in 9TH
er directions. Mayor O'Brien discussed
the matter with Engineer Lemon in open
council, setting forth that the engineer, as
a servant of the council, had no right to
employ additional help in his Office
without first bringing the matter to the
attention of the council and asking for in
structions. 1t was the principle involved,
and not the amount of money at stake.
Mr.. Lemon stated that he had paid Mr.
Hooper for his work and asked that he be
reimbursed. Mr.. Phipps then asked,
since Mr.. Lemon had paid the bill, who
owned the maps. This question seemed
to be strictly in order and Mr.. Ward
moved that the maps be purchased from
Mr. Lemon by the city for the amount
paid out by the engineer for them. Mr..
McBratney promptly seconded the mo-
ton, but Mr.. Frisch thought there should
be division of items, as there were some
things in the list that were not needed.
The motion to purchase the maps carried
however, by vote of four to two, and thus
Mr.. Lemons claim was granted.
AN OPINION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY.
City Attorney Linn filed an opinion in
the matter of rebating taxes Of Providence
academy and Olympia Collegiate institute.
After careful review of the case he con-
cludes:
"There is, in my judgment, no doubt
but the city council has the power to COM
promise claims against the city, and for
that purpose may cancel a tax as a consid-
Grafton for settlement; and if a PROPOSE
ton of that kind is made to you, it is in
your power to consider and accept it, but
as the matter stands before you, my advice
is that you cannot rebate the taxes of these
Institutions"

LOokinQ After the VVest,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The republican
senatorial caucus met again yesterday and
further discussed the programme TO be fol-
lowed by the party in regard to prospective
senatorial contests in several western
states. A resolution offered by Senator
Hawley, of Connecticut, was adopted,
authorizing the chairman, Senator Sher-
man, to appoint committee of five sen
atOrs to take into consideration the wisdom
and propriety Of senatorial interference
into those contests. The obvious purpose
of the resolution is to reflect unpleasantly
upon the "pernicious activity" Of the DEM
ocratic caucus committee in this matter,
further than that nothing will be done ex-
cept to discuss the general outlook in the
west, and the result Of this was to greatly
encourage the western senators, inasmuch
that it demonstrated that their east
ern colleagues we're by no means luke
warm in the matter. The caucus ad-
iourned subject to call.

HIS Suspected Enemies.

His Suspected Enemies.
NEW YORK, December 16.-W. A. Griffin
and Clarence B. Riker, of this city, pas
sengers on the steamship Adirondack,
which arrived from Kingston, Jamaica,
Tuesday, with the reports Of the attempt
to kill President Hippolyte, of Hayti.
The story of the attempted assassination,
as they heard it, is as follows; President
Hippolyte was in bed in the palace when
one Of the attendants saw man slipping
along the corridor toward the presidents
room, The attendant grappled with the
man and was stabbed in the shoulder.
Other attendants came and the man was
bound. He was asked what his object
was in visiting the palace and he said, ''to
kill Hippolyte." He was then taken out
out and shot. An investigation was made
and it was found the man got into the
grounds by breaking through the fence.
Next day six Of the guards we're shot for
allowing the man to get into the house
and the lieutenant who commanded them
was sentenced to be shot. A son of Hip
polyte, however, interceded for the lieu
tenant and his life was spared, though he
is still in prison. 1t is believed the attempt
at assassination is the result of a conspi-
racy in which some people in Hippolytes
household are implicated. On the other
hand, his enemies claim no attempt at as
sassination was made and that Hippolyte
simply took occasion to get rid of follow.
