They Are Responsible for the Issuance
of Lottery Bonds.
PARIS, Jan. 25.-When Maitre Barbour
resumed his argument in behalf of the
accused Panama directors, he applied
his eloquence to proving that the Pan
anna directors could not be accused
of swindling in the issue of the
lottery bonds, as they had simply
adopted the same position openly
adopted by the Chamber of Deputies.
This assertion caused profound sensa-
ton among the audience. Prior to &C
ton on the part of the di-
rectors. the Chamber of Deputies.
M. Barbour said, had author
lied the lottery bonds. 1t was
argued at the time in the Chamber that
the company was already ruined, but
the Chamber voted, Notwithstanding
this declaration, to authorize the
issue, and thus gave conf dence
to the public to subscribe for bonds
which the legislature, after full discus
sion of the subject. had approved. The
directors could not, therefore, be &C.
cused of swindling in having issued
these bonds with the approval and con-
sent of the Chamber.

The roof there was known to be weak
and the weight Of snow was greater
than at other places on the building.
1t was only the glass work in the roof
and the lighter iron work that gave

central arch of the building, and those
that support the naves are still intact
and not at all injured. The officers and
contractors say that they would stand

could drop on them. The great weight
Of snow, ice and water that poured

allowing an avalanche of snow and ice
to slide into the building. No one was
