Especial to the Press.]

SAco, January 13.-The case of Will
lard HI. Ennis VS.. Henry Edgerly, to re-
cover $500 for the death of a horse while
in the defendants pasture last June, was
tried in the Supreme Court today. Ennis

is in Limerick and Edgerly also belongs
there, while good part of the popula-

the Ennis horse and sent her to pasture,
did or did not agree that defendant

damage done the mare. Holland claimed
he did not but witnesses who heard the
trade made testified that he did. The
jury found verdict for the defendant.

tiff; Fairfield & Moore of Saco for de-
fence. The jurors were excused until

Consular Seal System.
The President is still giving close con-
sideration to the subject of freights
brought over.the Canadian Pacific rail
road. Two new points were discovered
yesterday, viz: That the original law
specified that the consular seal system
was to be applied to freights which wer
the products of contiguous foreign coun-
tries only, and that by the Canadian law
United States consular officers guilty of
fraud in the United States revenues are
not amenable to arrest as long as they
remain in Canada. A large bulk of the
freights handled by the Canadian Pacific
railroad, and which comes into this
country under consular SEAL are the pro-
ducts of other foreign countries, notably
Japan and China. Did this class of
freights not enjoy the privilege of the
consular seal sytem, they would enter
this country at an American port and be
transported by American railroads.
These two new points are considered inn
portant as giving the President the pow
er, if he chooses to exercise it, of sus-
pending the operation of the consular
seal system without any action by Con
greSS.

FRANCOIS SHANE.
Its President Implicated in the
Scandal.
CONVICTION OF ALL THE ACCUSED
CONFIDENTLY LOOKED FOR.

| Carnot May Be Forced to Resign-A1l
tempts to seduce Him-The End of the
Trial Approaching.
PARIS, January 1S.-Today the gravest
rumors are adoat in regard to President
Carnot. Several of the deputies, who
have been most earnest in pushing tho
Panama investigation, make no secret of
declaring that they will not rest until
Carnot is forced to resign.
The strength of the case against the
President depends upon the credibility
of Baihut, ex-rlinister of public works.
Constans is credited by nearly every
| one with being at the bottom of the at
tack upon Carnot, He is known to have
o bitter feeling towards the President on
account of his election from the cabinet.
All eyes are turned toward Constans as
the coming master, if not already the
master, of the situation, from the Repub-
lican standpoint
| The other prominent figure is Saussier,
whose control of the military in Paris
would give him, in the event of upris-
| ing, almost unlimited opportunity to
crafty his own ambition.
| Agents of the Duke of Orleans have
| limited at a ducal or princely title and
| enormous revenues that would be she re-
ward of treachery on the part of Gen.
Saussier to the republic. But Gen.
| Saussier is immovable in his fidelity to
duty.
The evidence so far in the Panama
trial is regarded as assuring conviction.
The report of M. Flory, the government
accountant, contends that the RESPONSE
bility for the Panama frauds and decep-
tion rests upon the whole board of Pana-
ma directors, because, having squander-
ed the share capital, they concealed the
real situation by false statements in Or
der to obtain subscriptions and protect
their own interests.
The public are already beginning to
| discuss the sentences that will be passed
upon the De Lesseps' and their associ-
ates in the event of conviction.
LONDON, January 13.-The Times cor
respondent in Paris says: s'M. Flory, at
Wednesdays examination, estimated the
Panama Canal Company receipts at
,434, ,000, 900 francs, of which 99,OOO,0O0
were swallowed up by the expenses Of
tht management, 249, ,000,00 by interest
on coupons, 550,000,000 by canal opera
tions. Of the last mentioned sum 107,-
100000 went directly to the workmen
and 5000, 900 to the contractors. Four
contractors made a profit of 1900, 900,
M. Eiffefs share being SO, 900, or, de-
Quoting his payments to others, 100000
600 francs.

Has been given trial at the SUFFOLK DIS
PENsARY, one of Boston's worthy medical
institutions, and of this trial we are told
that: ssWhile, as rule, the institution uses
only the regular remedies and products
long known and fully tested by the pro-
fession, nevertheless most excellent results
have thus far been obtained from the use
of our valuable preparation, and we are
assured that there is little doubt but con-
tinued use will still further demonstrate its
potency in the chronic cases for which as a
remedial agent it is SO well adapted This
is high praise, but it is in keeping with the
splendid victories which are being achieved
