him by Jesse w. Seligman in 1880 and
was not accepted until after full con-
ference with friends and the president
and the determination on his part
that there was nothing inimical
to the interests of the United
States. He denied that the Hayes
administration was opposed to the
canal, but did not want it under
American control. He had the idea
when he accepted the craftsmanship of
Americanizing the affair and tried to
get an American construction company
to build it. The entire administration,
so far as he knew of the affairs of the
American committee, was ON the strict
| est business principles.
Col. Thompson said he did not know
what were the duties of the bank
| ing houses, whose representatives were
mem bers with him of the American
committee, and he was much surprised
when he learned within a week that
the three had been getting each $50, 600
a year, or each of them twice his own
salary for their services in this coun-
| try. Col. Thompson denied that the
Panama Canal company had a lobby at
| Washington either to procure favorable
legislation for the Panama canal or to
fight the Nicaragua people, and
he said he kept clear of the lob
byists and that there was no i'm
proper expenditure of money so far as
he was aware of. Col. Thompson said:
"When l saw it stated recently that
Sic, 900, 900 or some such sum was sent
over here and placed to my credit that
startled me. / now see the eSplana-
tion of it. That must have been the
sum paid these bankers, of which L
knew nothing"
Col Thompson said that when the
Nicaragua treaty was before the sem
ate all he did was to write pamphlet
again st it, which lie had anonymously
| placed in the hands of all senators.

HIS WILL WAS FORGED.

Verdict of the Jury in the Mcdonald
Case-widow of the Late Senator from
Indiana Defeated In the Courts.
NoBLESvILLE, Ind, Feb. Is. After
being locked up all night the jury in
the great Mcdonald will case brought
in it's verdict. They found for the con-
testauts, and it is thought Mrs. McDon-
aid will now carry the case to the SUI
preme court. Mr.. Winters made an able
closing argument for the plaintiffs
Thursday, and late in the afternoon
Judge Stephenson charged the jury
tirely to them to decide whether the
signatures to the will probated by the
widow of the late senator We're genu-
inc or not. The verdict declares them
to have been forgeries.
The case has been on trial in Judge
Stephensons court since January 49, a
change of venue from indianapolis to
Hamilton county having been taken
by Mrs. McDonald's attorneys,
| A. c. Harris and w. p. Fishbacl,
Under the will which was pro-
bated in Indianapolis, Mrs. McDon-
aid, who was the third wife of the late
Indiana senator, and was married to
him in 1851, was left the bulk of his
fortune, only small legacies be-
ing left to his son by his first
wife, Malcolm Mcdonald, and two
favorite grandchildren. The amount in
volved was not large, only about $780,
900, but Malcolm Mcdonald believed
that the will was not genuine and be-
gan action to upset it. The prominence
of the late senator in politics and of
Mrs. Mcdonald in social life lent great
interest to the hearing of the case.
