PARIS, November 21.-The Panama
Canal debate opened in the Chamber of
Deputies today. M. Delahaye declared
that three millions Of francs were dis
tributed by the company among $50 de-
puties and few senators when the
question of the lottery bonds was before
the National Assembly and that the
directors were also called on for mil
lions of francs for election expenses in
the Department du Nord.
M. Floquet exclaimed-s.I was minis
ter of the interior at that time and de-
sire to solemnly state that I received
nothing
M. Delahaye, when the confusion abat-
ed, continued: tThree hundred thous-
and francs were spent in buyin three
papers. A minister, now dead, asked
100000 francs, and 10000 francs were
paid for journal of little value, behind
which hidden influences were working.
A foreign paper was bought for SOC, 600
francs, check for which was signed at
its Office. | can name the person who

Delahaye did not notice the interruption,
but proceeded "The committee Of this
chamber, charged with the duty of ex-
amining into this lottery bond scheme,>
comprised five favorable to it and five
opposed. The eleventh member,
before casting his vote, offered his
services to the company for 200, 900
francs. AS the company refused his
proposition, he formed syndicate, being
aided by a banker, caused a fall in the
shares and compelled the company to

authorities conceal the evidence, there

categories of deputies: those who re-
ceived money and those who did not.'

assertion. The members called upon NJ.
Delahaye for the names, to which he re-
piled: "Vote for an inquiry into the
facts AS M. Delahaye walked to his
seat he was hissed and hooted and a vio-
lent dispute began between two mem

refuse the demand for an inquiry. The
Chamber agreed that a committee of
thirty three be appointed tomorrow with
extraordinary powers to examine all the
charges. The two members who had the
dispute arranged for duel, but subse-
guently made their peace.

The assumed solution is that the officers
have struck new lead, and that this
brief adjournment is to give them a
chance to gather evidence that will result
in more than one Indictment.

CONCORD, N. H., November 21.-In the

This is the season of the year when people
take cold easily.
A cold is not the simple thing most people
imagine. It is serious matter.
A cold is the forerunner of an enfeebled
condition which may result in severe ILL
ness, if not death.
Why do people take cold? Because the
system is weakened; because of loss Of
tone, of health.
Derancement of the stomach and bowels,
weakness of heart and lungs, dizziness and
similar troubles, - these conditions favor
taking cold, and pave the way for serious
ills.
The way to avoid taking cold is to keep
well. If you are perfectly well it is simply
impossible to take cold or to contract conta-
gious diseases.
There is one safe way to avoid colds and
to preserve health, and that IS, TO take HID
DEN's MAGNETIC COMPOUND.
When you detect the first symptoms of
cold, such as sneezing, dull pressure about
the brain, a feeling of weakness, OF lassl-
tude, you will find this remedy the perfect
panacea.
It quickly tones up the stomach and
bowels, regulates the action OF the heart,
frees the lungs of poisonous deposits, clears
the brain, gently stimulates the nervous
system-in other words, restores the patlent
to full and perfect health.
HIDDEN's MAGNETIC COMPOUND shou1o
always be kept in the house. 1t is inyalu-
able at this season of the year.
All druggists sell it. Price, 81 per bottle.

The Democratic party cannot take this

The assoeistion recognizes That fitst xer-

AZ to the kind of duty to be Imposed on

There is another point which they regard
AS Of considerable Importance. They are
opposed 10 the duties on wool and those
on goods beng taken off at the same time
they believe that the compensatory duties
on goods should be- kept on for one season
after the duty on the wool has been taken
of for the following reason: IL Is well
known that for one year after the duties on
wool were removed, the goods that would
be sold to consumers would be those manu-
featured from high duty wool, as the man

suit would be very limited sale of their
goods or IL great many cancellations of or

time should he allowed them after wool be-
came free, To enable them To turn around,
so that they would not be placed at such
manifest disadvantage with their foreign
connections
