THE PANAMA BOODLERS.
Great Crowds Present at the Trial of
DeLessepS and Baihut.
The Testimony Similar to That Hereto
fore Adduced-The Coils Tighten-
ing Around the Prisoners.

PARIS, March 14.-Court was again
crowded today when the trial of Charles
DeLesseps, Baihut and fellow defend
ants, was resumed. At the opening Bar
beaux said the imputation that Madame
Cottu evidence was concocted previous
ly was false and calumnious.
Constans, former minister of the in
terror, denied in emphatic language the
alleged assertion OF Yves Guyot TO the
effect that he (Constans) handed Presi-
dent G arnot list of deputies implicated
in the alleged bribery and corruption.
He had never. he declared, possessed
such list.
Bonaparte Wyse testified that he re-
membered that Monchicourt, official
liquidator of the Panama canal company,
mentioned eighteen months ago that
directors of the Panama canal company
handed him sealed paper.
Charles De Lesseps hastily arose and
denied the statement. He said he had
given Monchicourt a full account of all
expenditures excepting 1. 400, 600 francs,
the employmento of which he fully and can
didIy explained to Examining Magistrate
FranQueville.
The disposition OF AIonchicourt was
read. 1t set forth that Charles DE Les
seps refused to communicate names of
benefciaries of z, 600, goo francs in bonds
made payable to bearer.
The deposition OF Henri Cottu, one OF
the directors of the company was next
read. 1t set forth that Charles De Lesseps
alone managed the payment of lump sums
in behalf of the company. Cottu's depo-
sition stated that he merely approved the
payments without concerning himself
with the destination of the money.
Barbeaux read a letter from Monchi-
court denying that Charles De Lesseps
sent him a sealed envelope or any list
whatever.
Bonaparte Wyse, being recalled, men
toned the date on which Monchicourt
had told about the delivery of the sealed
package. In the face OF the denial offered
by Charles De Lesseps the court ordered
that Monchiconrt should be examined in
relation to the circumstances. Hearing

Charge and Countercnarge
PARIS, March 14.@There was another
exciting scene in the chamber of depu-

question M. Deberssoyn regarding his
attack yesterday on Madame Cottu.
President Perier refused to permit the
question offered for the reason tina. de-
bate had closed.
Paul De Roulede complained that the
official report of the debate had suppressed
his expression that the government was a
government of liars.
Tirard, minister of finance, left his seat
and walked toward DeRoulede shouting
abusive terms at the Boulangist cham
pion.
A general uproar followed in all parts
OF the chamber. At length quiet was re-
stored and Tirard returned to his place
and proposed that DeRoulede should be
censured and excluded temporarily from
the house.
DeRoulede exclaimed: eff 1 am ex-

A CIGAR STUMP DID 1T.

Nothing definite can be told of the
origin of the fire. Three minutes after
the alarm was given tiremen were all
through the first floor and getting up on
the second with the hose. 1t was then
noticed that a fame about eight feet wide
was going up from the bannister of the
fifth floor few feet west of the elevator,
and cracking the glass of the skylight.
Some think it started from a defective
flue, but the most reasonable explanation
is that a cigar stump in the waste basket
did the damage.
