Paris, March 1.-THE sensation of
the day in the Panama trial was the
evidence of Madam Cottu. She said
that few days after the arrest Of her
husband she learned that the govern
ment, annoyed at the turn the prose-
cution was taking, desired to suppress
1t, and sought intermediary between
themselves and the Panama Canal di-
rectors. On January 10th she was con-
Quoted to the office of M. Souinoury,
chief Of the detective department, who
asked her whether she possessed any
compromising documents which might
be useful Minister Suinoury did not
make the proposals in precise terms
but she felt that the release Of her hus-
band bas being offered as a bribe for
the surrender of the compromising
papers Soinoury offered to allow her
to visit her husband in order that she
might induce him to warn Chas. De
Lesseps, who h1d already spoken too
much. Soinoury also asked permission
to report the gist of their conversa-
ton to NJ Loubet
M. Soinoury, the chief of the detec-
tive department, FASTENED to the court
of his own accord when he heard of
Madam Cottu's statement NJ Soinou-
ry declared that Madam Cottu came to
his office voluntarily to ask permission
to visit her husband. Soinoury swore
positively that he had never threatened
and that he had never attempted ta.
bargain with Madam Cottu Madam
Cottu arose and repeated with energy
her declaration. This declaration
caused a prolongued sensation and
loud murmurs were heard on all sides.
M Soinonry seemed somewhat dis
concerted. On being pressed he ad-
mitted that merely out of curiosity he
asked Madam Cottu whether she had |
any documents involving deputies on
the extreme right. The court then ad-
journed.
The greatest excitement prevails. At
halp-past IL o'clock this Sunday morn
ing, M. Bourgeois, minister of justice,
resigned his office, and the news, cou-
pied with the days exposures, has
widespread ferment in Paris.

OREGON AM THE FAIR.
Our Exhibits VIII Be There in Good
Time.

1
Salem, March 11.--Owing to the near
approach Of the date for the opening
of the Worlds Columbian Exposition
the Oregon Worlds Fair commission
was uncertain as to whether oregon
could get her exhibits together and
send them to Chicago in time for the
opening day. Secretary Irvine tele-
graphed to the director general to learn
the latest dates upon which the ex-
hibits would be received in the differ
ent departments, and this reply to the
telegraphic inquiry came today:
THE exposition is required to open
May 1st, and everything must be in
readiness by that time. Chiefs of the
departments and the president Of the
board Of lady managers must have sat-
isfactory assurance on or before April
10th, what space will be properly occu-
pied, and II that assurance is given,
time will be extended to as near the
opening as possible"
This information was reassurinr and
left no doubt that Oregon could be
properly represented in every depart
ment In which she expected to make
entries. Another obstacle which con-
fronted the commission was the fact
that the management OF the exposi-
ton was urging commissioners to make
all possible haste in the construction of
the Oregon pavilion In the agricultural
building. The exposition management
forwarded to the oregon commission
ers elaborated plans and specifications
for this structure. together with bids
for its construction. The lowest bid
was $1,000.
President George +. Myers refused to
sign the contract for the building as
the price was exorbitant Local archi-
tects said that the pavilion could be
built OF native woods shipped to Chi
cago and erected for from $500 to $4,000
The executive committee met at Port
land today, and as a result of their con-
ference. President Myers and Superin-
tendent Miller, of the forestry depart
ment leave Sunday evening for Chica-
so to look after the matter.

torial legislature closed yesterday amid
scenes dlsgraceful in the extreme. Dur
Ing most Of the sixty days session the

The members called each other liars
and at times almost came to blows.
Charges Of bribery were openly made
and enough was disclosed. it Is assert

The American Branch of the Fraudu-
lent Panama Canal Co.
New York, March 1.-THE congress
sionaI committee appointed to look in
to the condition of affairs of the PAN
anna Canal Pacific Mail Steam Ship
Company, and the Panama Railroad
Company, made their report public to-
day. Among other things the commit
tee finds that the banking firm OF
]. and w. Seligman confessed to spend
ing forty million francs. Another find
ing of the committee was that the
banking house named above, together
with Drexel Morgan & Co., received ap-
parently for the loan of their names to
the enterprise a sum of S1,200000
apiece, without the knowledge of ex-
secretary ofthe navy. Thomson, the
chairman of the commission created to
popularize the Panama Canal scheme.
What influence" the report says, "un-
used upon the financial public opinion
of the United States by the names of
tneSe three great banking houses,
what indirect credit and popularity
was given to the enterprise through
their numerous correspondents and
connections throughout the country,
1t is perhaps impossible now to esti-
mate. but to effect this there was the
object of the formation of this AM
erican committee-a committee which
testifies that 1t had no regular meet
ings, and some members of which were
never present at the meetings or knew
any minutes were ever kept.
This fact, if it is a measure Of the
conduct and management of the PAN
anna Canal Co., might possibly ex-
plain why it was compelled to go into
litigation as soon as 1t did.

1t May be Interesting to Know

That when excursion rates are

live in the East, to enable them to
attend the Worlds Fair next year,
it is contemplated by the Western
roads to also make excursion rates
from Chicago to all principal bust
ness and tourist points in West,
Northwest and Southwest, so that
those who desire to spend q few
weeks among their friends in the
Great West, may have an opportun-
ity of so doing without mourning
mush additional expense. It may
be well to consider this subject in
