lottery plan, and to prevent him from
specializing on the Bourse against the
interests of the canal company"
Engineer Pisch of the Commentry
Iron Works said the canal company was
struggling constantly against the most
outrageous demands of contractors. De-
spite the opinions of expert engineers,
the company usually yielded TO the de-
mands.
NJ. Jolly, a Panama Canal shareholder,
said the newspaper attacks upon the
Canal Company decided him, in 1886, to
sell his shares. He consulted with Count
Ferdinand De Lesseps, who dissuaded
him from doing so, declaring that the
attacks ernanated from an English source,
which was not worthy of credence.
Senator Guyehard, President of the
Suez Canal Company, gave testimony
eulogistic both of Count De Lesseps and
his son Charles.
Charles De Lesseps was recalled and
testified that the checks paid Arthur
Meyer, editor of GdaloiS, amounted to
100000 francs. De Lesseps was allowed
to make a statement in rebuttal of
Etienne Martins testimony. IN. Mar
tin knows me too well," he said, 'to say
l ever did anything inimieal to the inter
ests of the shareholders
M. Martin declined, however to modify
or withdraw any of his testimony
The evidence so far in the trial is re-
garded as assuring a conviction.
The report of NJ. Flory, Government
| Accountant, contends that the response
bility for the Panama frauds and decep-
ton rests upon the whole Board of Pam
anna Directors, because, having squan-
dered the share capital. they concealed
the real situation by false statements in
order to obtain subscriptions and protect
their own interests.
REVELATIONS TO BE PUBLISHED.
PARIS, Jan. 13.-Before the Parliament
ary Commission to-day the liquidator of
the Dunamile Company, with which Ar
ton was connected, told the commission
that Arton's ability was greatly exagge-
rated in the reports purporting to de-
scribe him. He had, however, abb
seconded, leaving shortage of nearly
| 5000, 900 francs. o
NJ. Tattischeff, Paris representative of
the Russian newspaper NoUoe Vrema will
be questioned to identify the payee of the
check for 100000 francs reported to have
been paid to the NoUoe Trend. The
rumored inquiry in Baihuts, case is
ended, but he will be next charged before
the Assizes.
! Temps says the examining magistrate
has summoned Cornelius Herr, now in
London, to testify. If he refuses he will
be prosecuted.
Cocdrde processes to have ascertained
the identity of the ambassador who re-
| ceived 100000 francs from the Panama
people. His name, says that journal,
begins with NJ, but is neither Munster
nor Moheinheim. Herepresented a power
unfriendly to France. In the course of a
week or two COcdrde may publish the
name, if in the meantime it should not be
mentioned at the trial or i'll the inquiry.
In connection with the charges that
President Carnot was well aware of the
guilty connection of men in high places
with the Panama frauds, attention is
called to the statement of Comte Caffar-
elli to the effect that Yves-Guyot told
him, when Minister, that he one day
saw Constans show members of the Cabi-
net Council large packet of documents
destined for the President. That packet.
according to YYes-Guyot contained the
names of persons, not all of whom were
Deputies, who received money from the
Panama funds. Carnots enemies alIege
that he was keeping back evidence
against guilty men, in order to hold it
over them when the time for the election
should come, and thereby compel them
to support him for reelection.
NJ. Pierre, faithful follower and de-
fender of General Boulanger to the
last, has some curious revelations,
to make about the Panama scandals.
He intends to publish them. One ex-
tract from the record throws light on the
proceedings at the Cabinet Council. When
Rosseau's proportion ofthe canal was read
the utmost secrecy was preserved about
it. Before opening it the Ministers made
sure the ushers who brought in the
lamps had all gone, and locked the doors
carefully behind them. Then a search
was made under the tables, and finally
all present gave promises to keep the
report a thorough secret. Nevertheless,
misleading extracts from the report were
published.

MADRID, Jan. 13.-The greatest interest
is exhibited here in the trial of the PAN

their daily articles in their press shown

of republicanism and their desire to see
Orleanist restoration in France.
The court and aristocratic circles, we'll

openly say that as far back as September
the Austrian and Spanish Governments
and courts weae informed of the coming
assault upon the republic, and knew that
coalition had been agreed upon by
which the Boulangists would lead the at
tack, while the OrleaGists would provide
the necessary funds. The aim was to
bring on crisis and force NJ. Carnot to
resign before the general election. when
the adversaries of the republic hoped to
sweep the course.
