4 PLEA Tor DE- LESSEPS.
His Counsel Sums Up the Evil
dence in the Case.
| CROWDED COURT ROOM.
An Earnest and Eloquent Address
Made by BarbOux.
He Demands the Reason Why Charles
De Lesseps Was Selected to Bear
the Brunt of the Charges
of Bribery.

PARIS, March 16.-Barboux, counsel
for Charles De Lesseps, summed up for
his client in the Panama trial today. He
spoke at great length, always earnestly
and often eloquently. At the beginning
OF the trial, he said, the case was so
strong that he was willing to try it before
a jury OF stockholders, and TODAY he
again expressed conviction that he could
secure De Lesseps' acquittal. The court
room was well filed when he began to
speak and became crowded before he
closed. Why had Charles De Lessons
been selected to bear the brunt of the
charges OF bribery, he demanded, when
others known to be guilty had been I'M
those against De Lesseps were made
against dozen other men but they were
either ignored or permitted to escape
prosecution.
They were bound to produce in court
testimony connected with the so-called
bride givers and bride takers. This it had
utterly failed to do. Ciemenceau might
nave gwen some conclusive testimony in
the trial, but he was restrained from doing
so. Ministers might have given the most
vital information about the matter, but
they saw fit to withhold it. They had not
produced copies OF menacing kilograms
sent by Herr
The acknowledgement said: ''They are
at your disposal.''
Judge Des Jardins: s'Let them be pro-
duced in court tomorrow
Continuing, M. Barbour asked why
had Cornelius Herr been permitted to fee
the country? Why had he not been seated
among the prisoners, or at least named
among the accused? Merely because for
ten years he had been e broker of the
Radical party.

UTAH APPOINTMENTS.
The President Has Had No Chance L
Consider Them.
Few Applications FiIed-Colonel Merritt
Returns from virginia-Gen. 1IcCIer-
nand Wants the Pension Bureau.

WASHINGTON, March 16--[Special. i
The president has had no chance to con-
slider Utah appointments and therefore
few applications have been formally filed.
So positive seems to be the rule to ignore
outsiders wanting appointments to offices
in territories that Matson, of Indiana,
has abandoned the idea of applying for
the governorsbip of Utah, and is now try
ing to be commissioner of internal rev.
enue.
Colonel Sam Merritt has returned from
Virginia, and Will remain some time and
help out his friends applying for places.
The Arizona governorship will be set
tied in few days. The contest is between
Ed Burgess of Prescott and Foster Dennis
of Kingman. Burgess claims the back
ing of Delegate Smith.
Pension Commissioner Raum was
bounced today. General McClernand of
the Utah commission is said to be a can
didate Tor pension commissioner, but he
is too cid and stands no chance.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Horrible Discovery Made by a Boy
in mississippi.
The Bodies of a Young Man and His
Fiauce Found Dead in
Pine Thicket.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, March 16.-A
most startling discovery was made here
today in the finding of the bodies Of Miss
Alma Nunnemacher, daughter OF Herman
Nunnemacher, a prominent merchant OF
Milwaukee, and William Z. Miller, also
OF Milwaukee, both of whom have been
shot through the head. Miss Nunne-
nlacher was spending the winter here
with her parents and last week Miller, to
whom she was engaged, arrived. Her
parents opposed the match and on Friday
after luncheon she left the house. Night
came on and as she did not return and
Miller also disappeared, it was supposed
that they had gone off to be married.
This afternoon young boy found the
bodies in pine thicket about 200 yards
from the depot. From the position in
which they were lying it is supposed the
young man must have first shot his COM
panion through the left temple and then
shot himself behind the right ear, and
death in both cases was instantaneous.
The affair was evidently premeditated as
Miller had borrowed a pistol that
morning.

San Francisco Police Energetic in Their
Efforts Against Chinese
SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-Not since
the Chinese first came to the Pacific coast
have the San Francisco police been so en-
ergetic in their efforts to suppress high
binders and methods as now. This action
was brought about by the fact that with
in the last ten days, during one of the
periodical wars between highbinders'
society, three Chinese were shot and
killed on the streets of Chinatown, and
one fatally wounded. One of the high
binders was caught red handed alter COM
hitting the last murder, and nine others
who were arrested on suspicion have
been indicted by the grand jury.
Many Chinese have been arrested as
Migrants and the police courts will not
accept bonds from Chinese unless ap-
proved by the consul-general. They are
very meek now and the police will keep
them SO by constant espionage Of the
Chinese quarter, keeping 1t clear OF the
