PARIS, Jan. 24-Interest in the Panama
trial increases as the end comes near.
When Charles de Lesseps. FOntane and
Cottu were brought in to-day they asked
leave to confer with counsel before the re-
sumption Of proceedings. The accused and
counsel talked eagerly together. While the
consultation was in progress Eiffel entered
and shook hands with his felIow-delend-
ants. He did not. however, join in the con-
ference. De Lesseps seemed TO be earnestly
advising counsel with frequent emphatic
gestures. Barboux resumed his argument
In behalf of his clients. He indicated no
new llne of defense, but proceeded TO JUS
tify the assurance which the directors of the
Panama Canal Company had given to the
shareholders and the public in relation to the
Panama enterprise. He did not. he said,
expect to be able to deal to-day with the
charge of breach of trust.

shareholders that 60O000,0o0 francs more
would be required 10 finish the canal. His
statement had been SO explicit that those
who persisted in misunderstanding 1t had

question whether Harrison will make

of several Democratic Senators toward the
nomination OF McComas TO be Judge of the
court for the District of Columbia, that
nomination by Harrison would be sntag-

probable that the President will not care 10

action, but it can be said that he has come
to no determination upon the matter, and
