Report OF the Accountant Appointed
by the Government.
PARIS. Feb 25.--M. Floret, the govern
ment accountant appointed to examine the
accounts of the Panama Canal Company,
reports that the total amount received by
contractors for real aud alleged work on
and supplies for the canal was 462 ,620.064
francs OF this amount 109, $685. ,444 francs
represent labor alleged 70 have been paid
for according to the roll of wages and sums
expended on various undertakings. la the
absence Of vouchers IL is impossible to ascer-
tain whether the labor and other operations
charged for were actually executed. The
American Dredging Company's charges for
its operations, plant, etc, amount TO &c.
3O5, 1896 francs. No vouchers or documents
are obtainable whereby the profits OF the
contractors could be estimated. The COM
pauY OF French engineers declares its ex-
penditures and operations and plant to have
been 81, 1893 $40 francs. This account os-
tensibly shows a loss Of 6. 142, ,955 francs.
WHEEL WITHIN WHEEL.
M. Floret points out that this includes al
lotments and commissions 70 the Societe
Depots OF Comics Courant of which Charles
do Lesseps and Henri Cottu we're directors.
Another contractor received 1921, ,002
francs, on which the admitted profit was
20. 723, ,285 francs, Charles de Lesseps and
Henri Cottu again sharing in the profits as
directors OF the societe depots. Another
firm obtained SO, s5s, ,944 francs. of which
IL ,437, ,35l francs was admitted to be purely
profit, divided between the firm and the
principal financial agent of the Panama
Canal Company.
Still another oontracto received 81 ,627. 1886
francs, the clear profit on which was 49,
313,382 francs. M. Eiffe's charges for
operations and plants amounted to 1858 =
226 francs, on which the net profit was 49,
073, ,455 francs. M. Floret calculates the
total traceable profits of contractors at H.
TAI. .5O4 francs. The names Of all the Arms
spoken of in the report are to be published
with the report of the committee on in
ouiry of the Chamber Of Deputies.
The Peiietan charges the government
with suppression of figures in M. Floret's

HAWAII MUST WAIT.
The Annexation Treaty Not to be
Acted on This Session.


The Annexation Treaty Not to be
Acted on This Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-The Hawaiian
treaty, ir is thought, is dead for this session
This is reluctantly conceded even by it's
friends The action Of the Senate to-day In
refusing to go into executive session
though that action doubtless had some re-
ference to the nomination of Mr. Hanehett
for circuit judge, was also accepted as con-
elusive indication that the treaty would be
shelved for the balance Of the session. The
treaty matter can, of course, be taken up in
the extra session which will convene inns
mediateiy after the present congress dies,
but unless some mAked change occurs,
there is believed TO be no prospects of action
upon it during the days Of the present ad-
ministration.
Possibly knowledge of this disposition on
the part OF the Senate had some reflex tn-
huence on the action Of the House. There
was to have been a meeting of the ways
and means committee Of the House to-day
TO consider the Springer resolution declaTa-
tory of the sense of the House of Representa-
tives that neither the Hawaiian nor any
other treaty OF annexation should be made
without the consent of congress, but it did
not take place. One of the republican COM
mitteemen said that his colleagues are unit
edly against the resolution. The repub-
licans, he said, we're satisfied on an
examination of precedents, especially
of the debate in 1896 over the
Jay treaty, and Of the letters Of Jefferson,
that the proposition that the House must be
consulted In advance of ratification by the
President and Senate of a treaty Of annex
alton was not maintainable. He predicted
that the resolution would be permitted to
fall to the ground The democratic men,
bers of the committee are still examining
the subject, but it does not seem likely that
the resolution will be pushed.

where she went to don her hat aud wrap
for the street after doing her bloody deed.
Miss Julia was as calm and self-possessed as
II she we're simply performing a business
errand when she presented herself at the
police office. She called for Chief Connolly.
and when informed that he was at home
asked that he be telephoned for. When
this was done and the chief replied
that he could not come ct
once she quietly thrned to Chief Detective
Wright and said: II have committed a
great crime. want to give myself up and
place myself in your protection. This was
about las O'clock. Miss Force was taken
to the chiefs Office and closely questioned,
but firmly replied that she could not dis
close the nature of her crime until 2 O'Clock
arrived. Chief Connolly had arrived by
that time and to him she stated that she had
killed her sisters, but would give no cause
for the deed She stated that she had writ
ten out full account Of
the trouble aud placed il in
the hands of a friend Rvho would make it
public at the proper time. This statement,
she said, she had begun to write year ago
and had completed it to-day just before the
killing. She appeared perfectly rational,
but further than this would not speak Of
the tragedy.
A PREVIOUS TRAGEDY.
The tragedy recalls another in which the
Force family took part some ten years
ago. At that time younger brother, Ward
Force, was a member of the firm. He was a
society man and exceedingly
handsome. One night he es-
corted well-known lady to
a german. The lady thought she had been
iusulted by W. w. Haskell, now in the in
surance business in this city. Young Force
the following day horsewhipped Haskell on
Whitehall street. Haskell challenged him
TO duel, but the challenge was not ac-
cepted, Force declining to meet a man on the
field of honor whom he had publicly flogged
He, however, offered to meet Haskell's Sec
ond, who was Harvey Townsend, a we'll
known man. Townsend accepted and the
duel was fought in Oakland cemetery at
night with shotguns. Force wounded
Townsend, though he lived some years
after the affair. Force fed this part Of the
country and has never been back. He
located In st. Louis, and it was he whom
Miss Julia recently visited.

A RUMPUS INA COLLEGE.
STUDENTS EXPELLED FOR FOOL
ING A FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Boys Burned Mattresses and
Other Articles en- the Campus and
Laughed at the Firemen When They
Turned Out in Answer to an Alarm.
Petitions for a Revocation of the Ex-
pulsion Circulated Among the Citi-
zsns.
COLUMBIA, 8. c., Feb. 25.-Thers is
trouble at the South Carolina College over
the recent demonstrations by the students
after the February examinations. and to-
day a climax was reached, when the faculty.
after thorough investigation and several
meetings, suspended eleven students, nine
others being admonished by the president
The offense Of the students was the burning
OF some mattresses and other articles on the
campus, causing the FIRE department. to
come and be laughed at by the students.
The students claim that the fire alarm was
runR by some outsider, and that in
building the bouhres they we're
following q harmless inherited custom.
The three ring leaders we're suspended for
the rest Of this year. OF the senior class
two are suspended and two were adj
monlshed. All the classes except the freSh-
man lose men. Only four men are left In
the junior class. There has been good deal
Of excitement among some Of the students,
who declare that they will resign, alleging
that the faculty was partial In its action
and was tcadying 10 the state administra-
tion. IL is stated that the faculty we're res
quested by the police authorities to take
action. There is, however, much
sympathy for the students, and a
petition asking that the sentences be re-
voked was signed by several hundred per-
sons this afternoon. All the students are
wearing Grape on the lapel Of their coats and
will attend church with these mourning sig-
mails flying. Gov. Tillman said that be knew
nothing Of the facts IN the case, bub II ths
faculty had acted with a view TO showing
the students shat they were In the saddle
and had hold OF the lines and intended to
enforce discipline, he thought they were
perfectly right. The general opinion Is
that though the boys may have been indis-
Greet they were actuated only by a spirit OF
fun.

He Will Probably be Expelled From

MEMPHIS. TENN, Feb. 25.-Judge Estes
handed down decision to-day dlsbarring
Speaker Ralph Davis OF the Tennessee
legislature from practicing as an attorney
10 the courts Of Tennessee. Four weeks ago
a story was printed which caused the action
OF the court to-day. Nathan Simon was q
bondsman in the sum Of 5000 for Jacob
Lachman, charged with arson. Laohman
fed and Simon secured Speaker Davis serv-
ices to get the bond reduced. 1t is alleged
that Mr.. Speaker Davis paid 1000 into
the court but told Simon he had paid ~, $50
and collected from him $2,750. When
Simon learned the truth be made a motion
to disbar Speaker Davis, and to-day it was
sustained; that Speaker Davis In the mean
time had procured the indictment of the
editors Of the paper which printed the
story for criminal libel and sued for IS, QUO
damages IL is probable that he will be
deposed as speaker Of the legislature and
expelled from the assembly.

He Claims, However, That It Win Not
Occur Before 1894.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secretary Foster
Of the treasury department. was before the
ways and means committee of tine House
for nearly two hours this morning explain
ing the condition of the treasury The
hearing was conducted with closed doors
and all newspaper men were ex-
cluded, the members of the commit
tee saying that If the hearing were
public the agitation OF the financial ques-
tion and possibly the publication Of sensa-
tional reports might give rise TO needless
alarm. As might have been expected, how
ever, the result OF closing the hearing was
to give rise to more apprehension than
would probably have been tho case If the
hearing had been open and free.
FOSTER MAKES AN ADMISSION.
The statement Of Secretary Foster was TO
the effect that there was no occasion for
fear Of bankrupt treasury, but he ad-
mitted that the situation was one demand
ing serious consideration and that his esti.
mates of the available cash in the treasury
at the close Of the present fiscal year would
need to be scaled down TO some extent.
Secretary Foster thought there would be a
surplus in the treasury on July ! next OF
near 81, 100000. His estimate in the report
heretofore sent to tho committee on the
condition OF the trea- ary fixed the surplus
Ht $40, 100000. The probabilities for the
fiscal year 1894 were That in the absence OF
some change in the situation, there would
be deficit in the treasury on July !, 1894

CARLISLE AND THE BONDS.

Fosters Successor Does Not Want the
Sherman Amendment Passed.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-Mr. Carlisle has
signified to his friends in the House that he
does not care to have the Sherman bond
amendment passed, believing that the Seq
retsry OF the Treasury has power enough
under the present law 20 issue bonds, and
preferring that the question involved
should not be complicated by refusal on
the part of the House TO give additional
authority. Consequently the Sherman
bond amendment will probably be aban-
doned and the sundry civil bill passed with

The Oofrode and Sayler Company in q
ROceiver's Hands.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Feb. 25.--A sensa~
tion was caused late this afternoon by the
announcement that the Cofrodo 81 Say.
ler Company. Incorporated, aud controlling
the Reading rolling mills, was insolvenn
and that receivers had been applied for by
some Of the principal creditors Of the COM
pany. Shortly before o'clock counsel for
the company appeared in the protho-
notarys Office of the common pleas
No. 2 and filed bill in equity on be-
half Of a number OF creditors of Cofrode Sc
Sayler, Incorporated, asking for the ap-
polntment Of a receiver, and also for q de-
cree declaring the corporation insolvent.
The court took immediate action and after
hearing the statements Of the counsel ap-
pointed as receivers Joseph II. Cofrode aud
William +. Harrity. Mr. Cofrode is the
vice president Of the Cofrode and Sayler
corporation, as we'll as vice president of the
Reading Rolling Mill Company.
THE HEAVIEST CREDITOR.
The president OF both corporations Fran
els H. Sayler, is the heaviest cneditor VINO
signed the bill Of application for a receiver
ship, his claim being In round numbers
$500, 900. IL was snid that the same motive
impelled the seeking Of this receiKership as
was imputed TO the application for the
Reading railroad receivers, voluntary ac-
tion on the part Of the management to save
the corporation from q general raid OF ored-
itors, and TO secure the best administration
Of its assets In O settlement or reorganization.
The court has fixed the bonds TO be furnished
by the receivers at $l50,000 each. The
receivers were empowered TO continue she
operations OF the works and the business
will 20 on az usual. The downfall OF she

HOME RULE ON A BOOM.
The GIadstonien Policy Indorsed al
the Polls.

1ub 1lhAbhOAAGh ACAANI bCA az
the Polls.
LONDON, Feb 25.-Several straws have
shown in the last week that the wind ia
blowing favorably for the home rule bill.
On every division in the house the Glad
stonians have more than held their own, TO
the intense disgust Of the tory editors, who
continue to thunder against the whips for
not rallying the full strength of the union-
ist opposition. Another subject Of Glad
stonlan rejoicing has been tho winning Of
the Cirencester seat in the house. The
victory is all the more significant as
Harry Lawson, the Gladstonian candidate, Is
personally 80 unpopular that he had under
gone a series Of notifying defeats In other
constituencies. He was opposed. moreover,
by a popular tory who was supported
unanimously by the liquor men. Despite
these handicaps Mr.. Lawson secured a ma
iority 242. AS the canvass was made almost
entirely on the home rule issue and con-
ternporaneously with the home rule debate
Ia the house, there can be no doubt that tine
result was popular Endorsement Of the
home rule policy.
ALLAE's HOT SPEECHES.
In Gatehead the home rule question had
been discussed by Mr.. Allan, the Gladston-
ian candidate chosen Friday, with the ut
most Vtgor. In speech on saturday night
he gave fair specimen OF bis unoompro-
missing scorn OF the tory programme when
he denounced the Ashburne acts as a sham
and farce, described the landlords In the
land as pack of robbers and proclaimed
his con viotion that the House OF Lords must
be abolished within three years. After all
these declarations Mr.. Allan was able TO
treble the Gladstone majority. Both cleo
tions have been interpreted by the liberals
10 mean that Mr.. Gladstone has gained
strength greatly since the Introduction OF
