PARIS, Feb. 27.-The Figaro to-day
processes to reveal some sensational
points affecting men who have stood
high in the government, which points,
the Figaro claims, were elected by the
examining magistrate. M. Franqueville,
during the recent examinations of
Charles de Lesseps. The Figaro states
that Charles de Lesseps testified that it
was owing to the urgency Of the late
minister of war, NJ. de Freycinet, and
the late president Of the Chamber Of
Deputies, NJ Floquet, and of NJ. Clemen-
ceau that he yielded to the demands for
money made upon him by the late Baron
Reinach and Cornelius Herr, Reinach
having threatened in 1888 to bring a
public suit against the Panama Canal
Company, the exposures attending which
might have proved highly disastrous to
the company.
When NJ. de Freycinet was questione d
by NJ Franqueville as to this avowal OF
Charles de Lesseps NJ de Freycinet ad
mitted that he had employed his infu
ence to dissuade Charles de Lesseps from
incurring the risk of law suit which
would be likely to have damaging conse-
quences for the Panama Canal Company.
NJ Floquet, when questioned by NJ
Franqueville, denied altogether the
truth of the statement of Charles de
Lesseps, so far as it affected him.
The report in the Figaro occasions con
siderable comment in view of the term.

the fact that they had already been given
notice of dismissal

GREAT SUFFERING AT OLDHAM

The Striking Cotton spinners of England
Suffering From Cold and Hunger-De
Lesseps Accuses De Freycinet and Herr
of Being His Chief Blackmailers-vic-
toria and Her Daughters Visit Buck
ingham.
LONDON, Feb 27.-Great suffering
exists in Oldham owing to the prolonged
struggle between the master cotton
spinners and the operatives. The number
out of employment in Oldham is $4,000.
Thousands of these are destitute of food
and fuel, only those who belong to the
operatives union receiving union aid.
The prolonged cold weather has caused
bitter hardships to multitudes of those
out of work on account of the strike and
the frost and snow linger with a persis-
tence that points to fatal suffering unless
relief speedily comes to the shivering and
starving poor of the great cotton manu-
featuring centre.
The local authorities are overburdened
with demands upon them and private
charity has been exhausted by the con
tinual and increasing drain since last
November. Oldham has not seen sucl
mis- cry since the time of the American
war, when the scarcity Of cotton caused
thousands of Lancashire operatives to b.
thrown out of employment.

The New Mexican Minister'S Brilliant
Career as Mexico's Flnanceer.
CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 27.-The an.
nounoement that Hon. Matthias Romero,
who is on his way to Washington, is to
remain the minister of Mexico caused
much surprise last night as it was sup.
posed his visit was merely for the pur-
pose of attending Mr.. Cleveland's inaugu.
ration.
Mr. Romero during his brief term as
secretary of the treasury of Mexico,
inaugurated many financial reforms.
Since his entrance into the department
less than year ago he made some very
much needed notifications in the Mexi-
can tariff, devised several important and
Just tax laws, amended others
and practically reorganized the treas
ury department. He has by means
of the new laws. added several millions to
the governments annual revenue and by
the economies introduced, saved the
nation an annual expense of several mil
lion dollars and he has performed the
hitherto impossible undertaking of the
negotiation of a small loan at par, thus
placing the nations credit on the
highest level ever attained.
He was compelled to encounter and
overcome many obstacles and much
opposition in the introduction of his
reforms, every change in the tariff
every new feature to the tax law
initiated by him and every change in
departmental routine having beer
opposed by some interest more or lesl
powerful In some cases concess ioni
have been made to these opposition in
terests but he has persevered and &C
complished much more than might have
been expected
