SPEAKING FOR LESSEPSI
His Counsel Sure of His
 Clients Acquittal.
THE BAKING BROTHERS LIQUIDATION

Unlonists Preparing for the Worst in Re-
 to Oppose Bi-Metalism in the Monetary
 COnference-G Gladstone Out Again.
 PARIS, March I'M. Barboux, counsel for Charles de Desseps, summed up for his client in the Panama trial. At the begin. ing of the trial he said his case was so strong that he was willing to try 1t before jury of Panama stockholders, and he again expressed the conviction that he could secure Charles dc Lesseps' acquittal.
 In opening his address M. Barboux said that the present trial had been begun against the wishes of the Panama stock holders, who, as much as they had been misrepresented, in reality had been opposed to the arraignment in court of either Ferdi- hand or Charles de Lesseps
 The stockholders had disapproved of the plan to place the burden of the Panama scandal upon men bearing as great name as there was in France. They respected and trusted Charles dc Lesseps and felt that the prosecution of him was not only unjust but blow at the revival of the canal enterprise.
 NJ. Barboux asked why Charles de Les seps had been selected to bear the brunt of UnlS lnVeStlgatlonI wnlch was not intended to be thorough or impartial.
 The government did not want the moro guilty parties brought to trial. It wanted a scapegoat, and had selected Charles de Lesseps, who had submitted to extortion on the part of Baihaut in order to save the enterprise.
 "Who would be foolish enough" he asked, ito believe that such large sums were intended for the insigniicat Deputies and Senators whom the jury had seen in the court room?"
 After the laughter following the question had subsided Judge Desjardins pleaded fatigue as an excuse for the adjournment of the court.
 In the Chamber of Deputies Premier Ribot denounced as abominations the ru- mors in the newspapers to the effect that he had made bargain with Mme Cottu not to reveal the name of the "X" con- cerned in the Panama bribery charges.

AT HER DOCK.
The Wells City Hauled on the Ground an'
 Towed Up the Harbor.


 NEW YoRK, March 1.-The steamer Wells City, of the Bristol line, which went ashore at Seabright Saturday evening, while en the way from Bristol to New York, arrived at Quarantine at 10 o'clock last night.
 She was lowed in by four tugs of the Merritt Wrecking Co.,, which have been at work for the past five days trying to haul the vessel on the marsh. The. greater DOT tion of her cargo had been removed, and she was hoated at 6 p. m.
 The Wells City went ashore in dense fog at 2 p. ID. Saturday. The sea was running high, pounding hard on the broadside of the steamer and it was con sidered expedient to get the crew on land. This was done by the life saving crew through the aid of the brooches buoy, the only accident being broken leg received by one of the seamen.
 The point where she struck Is sandy, and the only apparent damaged she received is a small hole in the bottom of her hull. She is now laid up at her dock for repairs.

Is Organization a Curse?

It is safe to say that if organization had It's way, Grover Cleveland would not be president of these United States to-day And yet there is no thinking man, whose conscience Is unfettered, but believes that we have man at the helm who has an enthusiastic desire to give the people a model government that he represents the will of the whole people, and therefore, that conscience Is behind him in all his through the great state of New York last summer and stopped at several small towns, and 1t is wonderful to see the amount of good work that is being done by men who have no powerful organiza- tion to command them who have been chosen by the people for their good quail ties alone. We could see nothing behind them except conscience. They may have had as much learning as the Twelve Fish ermen, but not much more.
 The result of their work was not shown in huge piles of brick and stone, but it was strikingly illustrated in the building up of human character. It made @ very great impression upon us, and we drove on. But the sensible parent may ask: "What has this to do with furnishing the house for James and Sarah p We an swer in all sincerity that 1t has great deal to do with it. If you are having your JAkCu1 lb lH ucCcbbALy thhb you should have some confidence in the artist. If we tell you that the Quaker Range is the best baker, and burns less coal than any other stove in the mEyket and that the world renowned Ia sibIe nriceA works stands behind us in the { raIeEhent, It ought to mean something. We are in position to make our word good, and the world is our witness. We can publish the names of several hundred we'll people in this section who are glad to verify our statements. Our competitors are amazed at our phenomenal growth. But 1t ought to..be no secret. When they walk through our several departments they see the light of heaven shining in every corner. No dark spots anywhere. When we tell you that & chamber set is made of oak, yoE won't go home and find 1t elm. We mem ton this because one of our competitors was caught that way lately, and the custo- mer came to us afterwards aud told us so.
 Our competitor believes now that he'll is on this earth. He lost his customer be- cause he lied to him. If we tell you thAt a mattress is made of South American horsshair, you won't go home and find it is hogs hair. It is better to be right than be rich. We don't think we would be any happier if we had a hundred thousand more than we have.

 around and see
