WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-During the day
Tuesday Gen. Butler consulted with Mr..
o. ID. Barrett, his associate in law, con-
cerning several cases which he was to
argue soon. He was to have made an ar
gument yesterday before the Court OF
Claims in the case OF Gilbert III. Ferris for
dredging the Delaware channel along
Petty's island.
Next week he was to make an argument
before the District Court in a suit brought
by an English corporation against Secre-
tary Elkins and himself, growing out OF
the Moore grant in New Mexico. He was
also preparing for the trial OF the Soldiers
Home case in Massachusetts,.
He consulted with Mr.. Barrett In all
these cases, and in going over the matter
showed remarkable capacity for continu-
Gus work, keen appreciation OF all the
little points in the cases, wonderful
memory and alertness, mentally ano
physically.
Getting through with these consulta
tions about o'clock, he went to the VIZ
department to talk with Secretary Elkir
about the Moore grant suit and RENAME
at the department until after IL had close
for the day and the elevators had stoppe,
running.
He walked down two long flights
stairs and stood on the street for three
four minutes in the cold wind waiting 20
his carriage. He got badly chilled througL
but did not appear to mind 1t much.
When he reached his home his nice
prepared a warm drink for him and dret
his chair close to the fire. He smiled a,
these attentions, and joking remarked that
he did not mind little cold. He sat up
until IL o'clock chatting with the family.

M. EIFFEL ON THE RACK
Second Day of the Famous Panama
Frauds Trial.
100000 FRANCS STOLEN.
NJ. Eiffel Gave 1900, 600 Francs to Sc
cure -ontracts-He Admitted Keeping
100000 Francs for Himself There
Was Lively Time.

PARIS, Jan. 12.-The trial af NJ. Charles
de Lesseps, Marius Fontane, Baron Cottu
and M. Eiffel, accused OF completely in the
Panama Canal frauds, was continued in
the Court of Appeal yesterday. Long be-
fore the hour set for the opening OF the
court the room was filled to its utmost
capacity with crowd OF interested spec
well known.
The audience discussed the evidence
given by Charles de Lesseps Tuesday, and
the general feeling seemed to be that he
had not bettered his case by his state
ments regarding the transactions between
himself and the late Baron de Reinach.
Little confidence was placed in his decla-
ration that he had no knowledge as to the
uses TO which the large sums of money he
had handed TO the baron were to be put
beyond the fact that they were to be ex-
pended for the canal company.
Interest in yesterdays proceedings was
centred in the examination Of M. Eiffel,
the contractor. The questions put to him
by the court
Resulted in Lively Fencing
between the president and M. Eiffel's
lawyers, who raised objection after OBJ
lection to the interrogations. The legal
sparring occupied considerable time and
afforded amusement to the audience.
Finally NJ. Eiffcl admitted that he had
cashed checks for II, 100000 francs, which
had ostensibly been drawn to pay for ma
chinery, while he had actually expended
only 100000 francs for that purpose.
Responding to further questions, NJ.
Eiffel said that he had given 2l,00O,00o TO
Nj. Hebrard to secure the contracts with
the company and 100000 francs TO Baron
de Reinach in order to secure the latter's
influence in his favor with the govern
ment. IL required considerable question
ing to bring M. Eiffel to the admission
that 100000 had also been paid by him
TO a certain contractor whose favor was
indispensable to success.
The presiding Judge Perivier then asked !:
"What did you do with the 100000 re-
ceived by you for taking to pieces and
shipping to the isthmus and there recon-
structing machinery which, as a matter Of
country?
"I Kept That Sum-"
replied NJ. Eifel, lamely, "because it
formed part OF my remuneration for the

"But your contract provided that you
receive thirty percentage, to be paid to
you within 30 days OF the date OF sending

words.

WHAT MEN SAY.
Kind Words for Gen. Butler From Well.
Knowd Men.

Kind Words for Gen. Butler From Well.
Knowd Men.
Gen. Butler had stormy career. Sc
long as he was feature OF the political
world he had tur bulent career. He was
always arrayed against an army of enc
mics and was always supported by III
army of friends. Death softens many as
perities. Today one finds only the repre-
sentatives OF the army Of friends, and the
enemies OF yesterday seem to be the
friends of today. Among the first to send
regrets was Congressman O'Neil OF Bos-
ton, who knew Gen. Butler intimately.
"It was Gen. Lutler's wish often express
ed" said he, "that he might die in Just
this way and not rust out"
Senator William Il. Chandler OF New
Hampshire said: 81 was greatly shocked
to read of his death In the neWpapers, as
it came so suddenly; but know that he
would not have it differently"
Representative Charles O'Neill OF Penn
sylvania, the senior member of the House,
who had great fondness for General
Butler, said: "He was big man; one Of
the big men in the war, and the thing
that impressed me most in his career in
Congress was his independence. He had
self-leadership. He was a strong advocate
of the force bill when Blaine, was opposins
IL, and 1t was great sight to see them IN
action"
Among the old soldiers in Congress the
campaigns of General Butler were dis
cussed yesterday and his occupation of
New lOrleans and his management OF the
New York draft riotswere spoken OF i'm
the highest terms in military achieve
ments.
General II. ". Boynton often crossed
swords with General Butler when the lat
ter was central figure in Massachusetts,
politics. Yesterday General Boynton
said: General Butler was dnquestionably
one OF the most remarkable men on either
side o. the war. He was equally remaka-
BILE throughout his career in Congress.
His administration OF affairs at Fortress
Monroe and New Orleans, especially the
latter, gave him rank for efficient and
brilliant execution OF semi military and
semi-civil government which no other
commander approached"
1t Is probable that the phrase which
Gen. Grant used in his famous report on
the operations OF Gen. Butler along the
James, in which Gen. Grant described the
Massachusetts General as "bottled up al
Dutch Gap" to which Gen. Boynton re-
fers, gave Gen. Butler as much pain as
any epithet that was ever applied to him
Yet Gen. Grant later in life, when the
heat of the campaign was over and when
time had tempered the bitterness which
so long existed between the two men
publicly regretted having used this phrase
In that report. Gen. Grant expressed his
regret I'm letter written by John Russell
Young in the course of that famous Eu-
ropean tour.
Many stories are in circulation today OF
the kindly acts of Gen. Butler. Capt.
Charles II. Tanner, now chief of a division
of the war department, stands ready al
ell times to proclaim the virtues Of Gen.
Butler.

the atrocities committed him by again
the women of New Orleans" it says ed-
torislly. "With all his great gifts, he
was legacy OF evil from the war. His
death does not leave a gap in the ranks of
good citizens"
The Daily Telegraph says OF Gen. But
Ter: "It would be difficult to name man
in America better adapted to ropewalk
practices than the audacious and unscrup-
ulous politician who has just died. Gen.
Butler will be longest remembered as a
singularly astute criminal lawyer. Chief
Justice Coleridge is believed to hold a
very high opinion of his shrewdness and
ability in that capacity"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The attention
OF DR.. Johnston has been called TO a des-
patch stating that peculiar malady OF
the stomach was the cause of Mr.. Blaine's
illness. DIR. Johnston said Mr.. Blaine's
stomach was now the strongest organ in
his body. His digestion was good and
throughout his illness there had been no
vomiting. Mr.. Blaine, like any other sick
man, could not digest solids, such as beef
steak.
DIR. Johnston stated that Mr.. Blaine had
a very comfortable day yesterday and that
his condition was about the same.

remained for over half an hour. When
