keeper for James'6 Co. was aware Of the fact
that the firm kept large balance TO their credit

account by forging the signature of Atolph

gate to q. 700 drawing the money for them
from the bank on the Saturday before election

In her pamphlet. the dowager duchess says
that she and the duke were advised that it

The duke saw before him q wretched pros

Continuing. the duchess says that upon her
return to England she went to Stafford House.
the dukes residence in London. and found
that the Marquis of Stafford, the present
duke, and LADY Alexandra, the late dukes
second daughter, had ransacked the place,
leaving the private rooms bare Of ornaments.
The duchess made advances toward con-
Citation with the children. She received no

quarreled over his father granting Tittenser as
a dover house for the duchess and tried to

Marquis of Stafford himself occupied Tittenser.
When the dixie asked for the use OF the house
for the sake of The duchess health the Marquis
of Stafford sent an insulting answer. When the
duke and duchess visited the family residence
at Lilleshall in Shropshire the Marquis of Stat

would leave the place. All through the pamph-

Instead of the notice of the Panama Rail-
road Company to the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company that after February next the bills of
lading issued by the latter would not be received
being a menace to American commercial
interests the railroad company claims that it is
just the reverse.
Gen. John Newton. president of the railway
company, says that 1t Is ready to enter into re-
lations with any American coast line steamers
between San Francisco and Panama excepting
the Pacific Mail Company. The company. he
claims, is irving to free the business between
New York and San Francisco from restrictions
in the interest of monopolies.
The steamship company entered into the
Transcontinental Association. SAYS President
Newton, and agreed to keep down within GER
tain limit the amount of freight carried be-
tween New York and San Francisco
This is done in the interests of the
Southern Pacific railway. The notice
given by the railroad company was
merely the two months notice required before
the expiration of the contract that one of the
parties did not wish to renew it. 4 new con-
tract would have been entered into with the
steamship company. President Newton SAYS, if
it had been willing to give guarantees of its
good faith. These were refused.
President Newton denies that the French
government is in any way interested in the
Panama railroad. Many of the stockholders
are French. but it is to all purposes an Amer
lean institution.

EXPLAINED BY BISHOP HURST.
He Tells Methodist Ministers About the
American University

FROM the New York Times
Tie principal feature of the meeting of
Methodist ministers Yesterday at the Methodist
Book Concern at 9Th avenue and 10th street
was an address by Bishop John F. Hurst Of
Washington. D. c., on the scheme for an
American university.
Bishop Hurst said the outlook for the estab-
lishment of the university of universities for
America in the capital city of the nation-a
school designed to take the place of European
universities for American college graduates
WAS Of the most hopeful character. Nine.y-two
acres Of land III one Of the most desirable
sections of Washington had been bought and
paid for. This land, upon which il is proposed
20 erect the university buildings. was bought
/ for -l00. 600 less than two wears ago. and it is
now worth at least $780, 900 at a conservative
estimate.
The subscriptions of money!" said Bishop
Hurst, ALREADY approximate $3.50. 600, with
another quarter Of million i'll full sight from
requests, legacies and other expressed deter
limitations OF financial aid. This makes the first
million of the 80. 900 600 hich it is proposed
TO raise for the grea: educational institute.
Mrs. Gen. John A. IL gan's plan TO raise
Sl.0O0.OOO through the women OF America will
make $1,000 .00o, and when another million or
two shall be added the work of building will
begin and continue to the end.
The purchase money for the land came from
the people Of Washington exclusively, and all
classes and conditions Of people are now sub

THEY REFUSED TO TESTIFY.
DE Lesseps and Other Directors of the
Panama Canal.

NJ. Charles de Lesseps. vice chairman of the
board Of directors Of the Panama Canal Com
pany, and NJ. MaTiEs Fontanes and Baron Gotta
members of the board, yesterday refused to
give testimony before the committee which Is
now investigating the affairs of the company
The refusal to testify is based upon the ground
of their absence from Paris. NJ. Fontanes' re-
fusal is based upon the ground that he is one of
the defendants in the legal prosecution Of
Panama Canal directors
The committee examined q number of wit
nesses yesterday afternoon. NJ. Laguerre tes-
tilted that Nj. Arton had spent 800 900 francs in
political objects In behalf of the Panama Canal
Company. The witness admitted, however,
that he had nothing to prove the truth Of what
he said.
NJ. Proper. partner in the Reinach banking
house, said that the late Baron Reinach had
furnished NJ. Arton with 1.000,0 900 francs in
1883. The witness denied that he had seen NJ.
Arton In Germany after the latter absconded
from Paris. Notwithstanding this denial the
committee decided to hear the testimony of NJ.
troopers coachman to whether or not NJ.
Proper had been in Germany.
The announcement was made last evening
that the public prosecutor had refused to sub
NIT to the investigating committee the docu-
uments connected with the prosecution of the
Panama canal directors. The reason for the re-
fusal Is that it would be contrary to the usual
judicial procedure to turn the papers over to
the committee, ana more especially 80 because
the idea is opposed by the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS. The news Of this action on the part
OF the public prosecutor served to increase the
excitement in the Hobbies of the chamber Of
deputies and much speculation was INDUCED in
as to what course the investigating committee
will now take.
