WASYHETRIITH RETEALED7
The Question Now Being Ar
gued in the French Court.
OF COUNSEL.
The Advocate General Denounces Fon-
tame, BlOndin and Sans-LerOy.
he Demands That Others should Have
the Same Punishment Melted Out to
Them As Would BE Imposed
On De Lesseps.

PARIS, March 15.-There was a small
attendance at the trial of Charles De Leg
seps and fellow defendants, and public
interest appeared to wane with the close
OF the testimony. Counsel resumed their
addresses, and Legase contended that the
government had shrunk from proceeding
against all of the offenders concerned in
the case. He argued vehemently that the
scandal would not cease until the whole
truth was revealed. Brousard spoke in a
similar tone.
The advocate general delivered an
earnest address on behalf of the prosecu-
ton and maintained that the government
had done the best it could, twas bringing
everything to light and denounced
Charles De Lesseps as having used arti-
noes to throw dust in the eyes of the
jury In similar manner to his use Of ar
tlhces to obtain subscriber to the Panama
lottery bonds. He commended that the
evidence confirmed the guilt OF the de-
PENDANTS.
Continuing the advocate general made
a somewhat extended reference to Frey
clnet, FIoquet and Clemenceau and their
connection with the scandal, defending
the course they pursued and justi-
tying the advice they gave Charles
De Lesseps to comply with the
demands made upon him rather
than become involved in a law suit with
Baron De Reinach. The speaker then
turned attention to Fontaine and Blcn-
din, both of whom he denounced IN
strong terms. He then declared the ex-
PLANTATION made by Sans-Leroy that he re-
invested 300, 600 francs of his Wife's dowery
at just the time he was charged with
having accepted that sum from the
canal company for changing his
vote on the Panama lottery bonds bill,
would not hold water.
The advocate general demanded that the
defendants, Deputy Dugue, De Lafran-
connerie and ez-Deputy Gobron should
have the same punishment melted out to
them as would be imposed upon Charles
De Lesseps. He closed his address with
graphic description of the poverty, mis-
cry and general ruin which the Panama
canal had caused throughout France. The
court then adjourned.

A GREAT COAL COMBINE.
Minnesota Legislature Has Made SEN
sationaI Discovery.

Minnesota Legislature Has Made SEN
sationaI Discovery.
ST. PAUL, March 15.-The joint legisla-
tive committee investigating the coal
combine created sensation by Selling
the books of John ]. Rhodes, manager of
the Minnesota bureau of coal statistics.
They were guarded at the state capital
till this morning, when Rhodes sent a
petition to the legislature for their re-
turn, claiming they perbained only to his
personal affairs. In the house the petit
ton was referred to the special committee
having the investigation in charge with
out discussion. In the senate the matter
was antagonized, apparently under mis-
apprehension, for all opposition was
Withdrawn after a fierce speech
by Donnelly, who said the committee had
not yet had time to examine the books
thoroughly, but hurried look into few
of them revealed the existence of com
bine the like of which had not heretofore
been known. 1t set prices, and dealers
venturing to deviate o hairs breadth
were shut off from all source of supply,
The books showed that although Rhodes
declared he knew of no such thing as a
coal com bine, he had received thousands
of dollars as fees from those depending on
the combine, and letters showed that
dealers who had ventured to cut rates even
l cent per ton had been shut off from all
supply of coal. More sensations are
promised.

lila, with an army of l, 900 revolutionists,
is now encamped at Tarinla. Around the
town the intrenched forces are com

Bonilla's position is strong one, and
although the besieging army, under Gen.

men, more than three times the number
OF Bonilla's army, the revolutionary gen.

rumor has just reached here that a divi-
sion of BonilIa's army attempted to cut
its way through the line of the besiegers.
A hot skirmish was the result of the at
tack, but it is not known how many were
killed and injured. and which side was

SEVERAL MISTAKES MADB.
What Came of Enrolling Bills in
a Hurry.
A DIGNIFIED DELEGATION.
Episcopal Bishops Call on the Presi-
dent Regarding Chinese Exclusion.
Secretary Carlisle VIII Submit Several
Financial Propositions to the Next
Congress-One Involves Com
plete Reorganization.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-It is probable
that clerks and some other employees in
the bureau of engraving and printing not
directly employed in the production of
green backs and other government obliga-
lions Will have to take certificates of in
debtedness instead of cash for their
salaries for the balance of the fiscal year
as the result of an error in the enrolment
OF the deficiency bill by which the word
Thousand is left off after an appropria-
ton intended to be S37, 600 for deficiency
in the pay of clerical and other help at
the bureau of engraving and printing. 1t
is presumed that employees will not be
dropped from the rolls for the balance of
this fiscal year, as they are necessary to
the working of the bureau. Likely this
will be considered a case wherein the
government officers are authorized to
create an Indebtedness under the statute
providing that no government officers
shall incur Indebtedness for government
except to save life and property, and may
be held that the employment of these
clerks is necessary to save property"
The clerks will then be given certificates
stating that they rendered service to the
value named and those they probably
will be able to get discounted for con-
sideration by local money lenders.
Several other errors in the enrolment
of bills have been discovered. In the pen
sion appropriation Dill is appropriation
of 1905, GOO, intended for fees of examin-
ing surgeons. In enrolling, the word
''hye'i its LETT out, so that the item reads
s'three hundred and thousand dollars. -
This deficiency of So, GOO from the proper
amount will not be serious, in view of
the smallness of the amount and the fact
that 1t was made on estimates which in
any event, may be too large or too small,
and which can be remedied next session
before the money actually appropriated,
is exhausted. There are a few mis-
takes committed in the enrolment Of the
appropriation bills, and others are eX-
pected to come to light every day.

Former Postmasters Under Cleveland in
Large Cities May Be Re-appointed.
NEW YORK, March 15.-A Washington
special says that President Cleveland's
rule providing that no ex-office holder
shall receive appointments has b,aen mod
fled. 1t will not apply to postmasters in
large cities where former administrations
were particularly efficient.
President Cleveland realizes that to
master the intricacies of the postal service
in large cities requires time, and he is in
favor of appointing postmasters in them
who are Democrats and already fam liar
with the duties of office.
The cities of Chicago, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, New Orleans, Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, st. Paul, Denver, St. Louis, In
dianapolis and San Francisco will be
affected by this modification of the rule,
and -postmasters there who are seek
ing re-appointments may be successful.

Four Episcopal Bishops Call on the Presi-
dent Regarding Chinese Exclusion.


dent Regarding Chinese Exclusion.
WASHINGTON, March ia dignified
delegation was introduced to the presi-
dent today by Bancroft Davies, recorder
OF the Supreme Court. 1t was composed
of four bishops of the Episcopal church:
Right Reverends Paret of Maryland:
Potter of New York; Whitaker OF Penn
sylvania, and Hare of South Dakota. The
object oil the visit was to discuss with
President Cleveland the Chinese exclusion
law with relation to its bearing on Amer
lean interests in China. They said strict
enforcement of the law would be apt to
endanger property and the lives of A1neri-
cans. They told the president they came
to him not az representatives OF church,
but as citizens, and they had no sugges-
tions to make, but had simply come to
confer with him.
Cleveland said in reply that he had to
enforce this as well as other laws OF the
country.
The bishops admitted this, but sug-
gested it might be possible to mitigate in
some degree the seventies of the laws
operations.
The president told them he would do
what he could, and the interview termin-
ated.

brings further news of Indian troubles
resulting from the massacre of the Bella
Bella Indians by the Kitkatlas on Sorrow

river, boat load of Kitkatlas passed,
fleeing from the Bella Bella. A few days
later two boats OF Bella Bellas appeared,
armed with Winchesters and knives, and
