Quest that his funeral be private.

IMPORTANT ARRESTS MADE.
Several Gentlemen Charged with Being
Connected with the Panama Affair taken
into Custody.

Connected with the Panama Affair taken
into Custody.
PARIS, December 16.-M. Charles
Aine Marie de Lesseps and M. Marius
Etienne Fontaine and M. San Leroy
have been arrested by direction of the
Minister OF Justice, NJ. Bourgeois, for
their alleged connection with the
Panama Canal frauds. San Leroy is
said to be badly implicated by docu-
ments and other evidence brought to
light. San Leroy was not on the
Panama board. Suspicion was always
attached to him on account of his sud-
den change Of front in the lottery com
mittee Of the Chamber of Deputies
when the lottery loan was being voted
on.
The only topic of conversation in
political and social circles Is the
Panama scandal and the arrest to-day
of several persons who are charged with
being implicated in the affair, has
caused the greatest excitement, al
though rumor had it last night that
such action had been determined on.
What the outcome will be no one is
able to predict. But it can be said
that those who have the best interest OF
the republic at heart are deeply grieved
at the venality and seltishness that
have been displayed by men in high
positions, many Of whom were sworn to
preserve the honor Of France.

THE COOLEY QUEEN
And Her Father on Trial for Keeping n
Fence and ConceaIing stolen Goods.


Fence and Conceaiing stolen Goods.
UNIoNTowN, PA, December 16.-At the
conclusion of the Cooley trials John H.
Pastorius and his daughter Ida, "The
Cooley Queen" were placed on trial. The
man was blankly stolid, and the daughter
was rather jauntily defiant.
They were arraigned for alleged fence
keeping in the way of receiving and con-
cealing stolen goods. There was no at
tempt on the part of the defense TO disprove
the fact that they received the goods which
the witnesses for the prosecution had
identified as their own property.
Their line of defense was an attempt TO
make a showing that they had bought the
goods in question and had paid for them in
the course of q common business transac-
tions. The Queen took the stand and made
a plucky defense.
There is unqestionably a certain feel
ing of sympathy for the woman in the
minds of the mass of people, particularly
the men. The defendants themselves were
the only witnesses called 10 disprove the
case set up by the State, and after
they had given their testimony an attempt
was made to prove their previous good
character and general reputation for hon.
esty. The case was then given to the jury,
which is still out A verdict is not ex-
pected before morning.

The National Capital Press Club Expects
Speaker to Speak When He is Invited.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 10
The actors and actresses who took part

rison in {sssePtiOn by President sig! HaEJ
One OF Of Jbeu gsrft99rmIaaJPeesate IaJ eesatertain-
ment is q subject of discussion in
political circles tonight. 1t was the
speech delivered by Representative
Fellows, of New York. EX-Speaker
Reed had been invited to address the
audience, but overcome by his modesty
he declined at the last moment TO
fulfill his contract, and the task was
undertaken by Representative Fellows.
Mr.. FelloWs's address was witty
enough aud bright enough TO interest
any audience, but the significant feature
was his predatory remarks, which was
as follows:
"Being invited by the Press Club to
attend this performance, l will cheer
fully address the company, for the Ma
tional Capital RPresS Club does not in
vite a capital S. Speaker to dinner
expecting a speech"
There was a pause for second or two
while the audience fought for the hid
den meaning conveyed by the remark.
there flashed across the minds
OF the hearers the recollection Of the
Reform Club dinner In New York.
There was a ripple Of applause; the
ripple grew into a wave, and the wave
into billow, which engulfed the whole
house. 1t was some time before the
performance could proceed, and to-
night the whole of Washington is talk
ing about Tammsny's (for Representa-
tive Fellows Is a Tammany man) retort
courteous to f. Ellery Anderson and

irrespective Of politics, in my relations
to the Worlds Fair.

proper man, to be licensed to publish
the Fair Directory, as have often en-
dorsed other West Virginians for honor
able stations in the work Of the Exposl-

I shall do nothing to impede its efforts
In that direction.

COLUMBUS, o., December 16.-The
uucomplimentary illusions made in Sec
retary OF State Poorman's annual report
to his predecessor, Dan j. Ryan, prom
iSe to stir up o big sensation. Ryan re-
turned from Cincinnati to-day very in
dignant. He is confined to his room
with illness, but Charles Ken
ney, his late chief clerk,
said, concerning the matter: when
Mr.. Ryan concluded to resign ne in
formed the Governor of his intention,
and told him that he had drawn the full
81 900 extra compensation for the year
and used it, and asked him to explain
to his successor that he must serve for
only the salary compensation. But the
Governor forgot it. However, Poor
man was told of 10 before he assumed
the duties, and accepted the situation
after some objections. To further sat
isfy Poorman Mr.. Ryan and others
agreed to secure the passage OF bill
giving him $1,000 extra compensation
as State Elections Supervisor, and this
was done. Colonel Poorman received
as much as Mr.. Ryan for his services"
This evening il is given out from
Poorman's side that he was never told
by any one that the $1,000 special re-
muneration had been drawn by Ryan
but found it out himself. This may
draw Governor Mckinley into the row.
From Ryan's side tonight it is given
out that Poorman had great trouble to
get an official bond and he (Ryan) had
to take the paper and personally solicit
signatures. Ryan also says that Poor
man, with business ignorance that was
almost criminal, drew on one check,
SIS, 900 of the protested Marsie law fees
that were on deposit in Portsmouth
bank and almost created money panic
in che banks of that small place.

Special telegram TO thS Register.
WASHINGTON. d. c., December 16.-The
first intimatiOn Of a reliable nature re-
gsrding the probable make up OF Cleve-
lands cabinet became public here tonight.
IL is that Mr.. Cleveland has offered the
Secretaryship OF the Treasury to Senator
Carlisle, Of Kentucky, and has expressed
q strong hope that be will accept.
The Senator. however, is understood to
be averse to taking the place, with It's nu-
merOus respOnsi bilities and hard work,
which has undermined the health of so
many Of those who have had it in recent
years. But Senator Carlisle's friends,
with whom he has consulted on
the matter, are very urgent In
their advice TO him to accept as
they feel that no man whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the business
is so competent TO hold it as Carlisle nor
would inspire more confidence among all
classes of people. IL is believed that Car
Isle will waive his objection Of giving up
his seat in the Senate and will take the
post Mr.. Cleveland offers him.

THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE.

The Total Vote OF the Couptry on the
Three Lending Presidential Candidates.
The returns from the varioVs states
Mt the late presidential election show
total vote of 1928, ,066 not including
the prohibition vote. which will swell
the total to over II, 900 votes.
In the tabulated returns below Mr.
Cleveland apparently had no supporters
in Colorado, Kansas, Idaho. Nevada,
Oregon and Wyoming, but this was the
result Of political maneuvering by which
the democratic votes Of those states
were east for the peoples party ticket
La Nebraska the Cleveland vote appears
very small, but this was due TO the fact
that requests were sent out to the DEM
ocrats to vote for Weaver and over co.
600 Of them undoubtedly obeyed the
instructions The votes of the states
named which cast presidential ballots
for Cleveland in 1883 were as follows:
Colorado, 1867; Kansas, 1902, 745; Ne
vada, 5,326, and Oregon, 20, 522 In 1890
the democratic votes in Idaho were
8,02G and in Wyoming 6,2l9.
The popular vote in the election OF
1883 was divided as follows; Cleveland.
5.53s, 233; Harrison, 5,44O,2lG; Streeter
Union Labor, 249, ,9O7.
In the electoral college of 1883. Mr..
Harrison had 233 and Mr. Cleveland 1863
votes In the college OF 1884, Mr.. Cleve-
land had 2l9 and Mr. Blaine l55 votes
The vote of Mr. Cleveland in the pres
ent electoral college has been exceeded
but once since the war. That was in
1872 when Gen. Grant secured 2S6 votes.
Mr.. Harrison's electoral vote is smaller
than any defeated candidate has re-
ceived since 1872
The combined democratic and popu-
list vote-6, $40, 7S5-is 1,4s7, 437 larger
than that of 1890, while the total re-
publican vote is 964, 4l6 larger than for
congressman two years ago
The votes Of the various states for the
three candidates who names win figure
in the electoral college are as follows:

OPPOSED TO THE SCHEME.

Reason TO Think That Congress WIN Not
Indorse the Nicaragua Canal PROPOSE
tion.
WASHINGTON, Dee 10. 9.-Sentiment is
rapidly forming in congress against the
proposition To have the country indorse
500, 600 900 worth of bonds TO be issued
by the Nicaragua Canal Co of which
Warner Miller is the head. Many who
favor The idea of the canal are still
against the scheme of having the gov
ernment guarantee the bonds Of pri-
vate corporation, however public its
purpose.
1T looks to me, " said Representative
Ryan, like one Of those schemes where
the government is asked 70 stand the
risk of loss, while the profit, if any ac-
crues, win go 10 Warner Miller and his
associates The government might as
well borrow sl00, 600, O00 itself and build
this canal as 70 indorse or guarantee
these bonds am against the PROPOSE
ton.
Bryan is one sort of the opposition.
There is another, of which such rail-
road senators as Stanford, Wolcott and
Washburn are specimens, who oppose
1t because they do not want "a canal at
all for fear of lowering trauscontinental
traffic rates the moment boats could be
canaled through the isthmus. The
proposition will have hard time be-
tween these two allied forces.
