Painful Scenes When the Sentences
Were Pronounced.
PARIS, March 22.-There were painful
anna Canal trials. NJ. Fontane addressed
the jury before they retired. Sobbing
violently, he implored them not to con-
denim him without proof, and concluded
by crying dramatically: ST am inno-
cent" He then sank back and hid his
face in his hands.
The other defendants were cool, except
Dugue la Fauconnerie, who was faint
from suffering with gout.
When the verdict was pronounced Bal
hut turned deadly pale.
Sans Leroy swooned, oyerjoyed by his
acquittal.
Fontane, however, was again most af-
fected and tainted several minutes.
When he recovered he embraced his
counsel and then tottered to the side of
Charles De Lesseps, his greatest friend,
and, Ourying his face in his hands, he
wept like child.
De Lesseps, visibly affected, leaned
over the dock and endeavored to console
him, till the guards, supporting Fontane
by the arms, led him from the court.
AS Baihut is unable to pay his fines he
is liable TO two years more imprison-
ment.

THE CHARGES AGAINST BISMARCK
Ahlwardt Fails to Sustain Them b,
the Papers He Produced

Ahlwardt Falls to Sustain Them by
the Papers He Produced.
BERLIN, March 22.-There was a large
attendance and much excitement at the
opening of the Reichstag, in expectation
that Rector Ahlwardt would produce the
documents which he claimed would
show fraudulent practices by Bismarck
with Hebrew financiers, by which the
Government had been swindled out of
enormous sums.
Immediately upon the opening of the
body Ahlwardt arose and said he wished
to lay few papers on the table.
There were excited cries demanding
that he furnish the house with all the
documents, eleven in number, which he
was yesterday directed to furnish.
He said that after Easter he would pro-
duce the remaining documents.
After some debate a committee was u
pointed to examine the papers already
submitted, and the body took recess for
an hour.
Upon the reassembling of the House
the Chairman stated that the committee
had carefully examined the documents
submitted to them, but found nothing to
prove the assertions of Ahlwardt. Ahl-
wardt again arose and reiterated his
promise to produce after Easter other
documents in his possession, among
which he said, was a letter from the
President of the Senate to foreign court
expressing thanks for money sent to the
German Government.
The President of the Reichstag forbade
Ahlwardt to refer to documents he had
not produced for inspection by the House.
Speeches were made by number of
members, all of whom, without regard to
party, condemned Ahlwardt for the
charges he made with no apparent proof
to support his assertions. Ahlwardt pro-
tested that the documents inspected by
the committee would be meaningless un-
til the arrival of others from Leipsic.
Throughout the whole scene the great
est excitement prevailed, and the MEM
bers showed by every action after the re-
port of the committee that they placed not
the least confidence in the grave charges
made by Ahlwardt. There was intense
interest among the people in the proceed
ings of the Reichstag. Thousands gath
cred before the building and clamored for
information as to the progress of the de-
bate. Ahlwardt was received with such
contempt as has not before been shown
by one Deputy toward another in Parlia-
mentary precincts.
A statement was made this evening of
the examination of the Ahlwardt docu-
ments. They were simply receipts given

New YORK, March 22-Irving NJ.
Scott, Vice-President and General Man
ager of the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco, says the published attacks
that have been made upon the company
regarding the condition of the new coast
defense vessel, Monterey, are untrue.
Scott makes a statement, of which the
following is part, over his own signatures:
The story as published in the East is
absolutely false. The Monterey had two
trials, and the pitch OF the screws altered
and everything done which was required
to make her success. She exceeded her
horse power by 400 for two hours, and
during the last two hours, owing to her
inability to keep the circular CRATES of the
coil boilers in as good condition as the
Scotch boilers, the steam pressure fell
OH, SO she averaged less than required.
The statement about all other trial trips
being declared off are absolutely false,
and the Monterey lies at the Navy Yard
in perfect condition, ready to 90 to sea at
any time as far as her machinery is con-
cerned.
''In regard to the Navy Department
providing the Monterey with tubular
boilers, is mob true. In fact, the Monterey
was designed to have two Scotch and four
tubular boilers of the type which proved
to be best upon experimental trial. 1t is
asserted that eye-witnesses give the facts
as published. This is another malicious
faisehood. Official reports show the
steam pressure and variations for every
tlffa1n vninntaa Inripc ha -,
We challenge the romancer who make
these assertions to produce his eye-wit-
nesses. For any such authority we prom
ise him handsome bonus, as 1 know we
can prove him to be falsifier."

Proposition to Connect Lake Erie with

OTTAWA (Ont.), March 22.-There is a
bill before the Dominion Parliament to
incorporate the North American Canal
Company, backed by American and Ca
madam capitalists. The capital is SIC, ,OOO,-
900. The object of the company is to
build wide, deep canal, with the fewest
possible locks, between Lake Erie and
the seaboard. The canal would be so
wide and deep that the largest steam ves-
sells could steam through them at full
speed. There are to be but seven locks
between Lake Erie and the terminals and
but four between Montreal and New
York, and the locks would move two yes-
sells at the same time, one ascending, the
other descending.
1t is proposed to obtain charter from
the State of New YORK and make the
canal from Lake Champlain to tide water
in the Hudson River. No United States
charter will be required, as the work
will be entirely within the State of New
York.

LONDON, March 22.-Amid the cheers
of the thousands of people lining the
banks of the River Thames this after
noon the Oxford boat crew finished first
in the great university boat race. with
the Cambridge men two and half
lengths behind. 1t was a hot race and
bravely won.
A light wind was blowing this after
noon at 4:35 o'clock when the crews
made the start. The course was the his
toric stretch between Putney and Mort
lake of four and quarter miles. Putney
bridge was crowded before the race be-
gan and rows of people lined the parapet.
On the wide shore in front of the rowing
club houses great crowd had gathered.
Each side of the river was lined with
tugs, barges, wherries and all manner of
craft for the accommodation of sight
seers. Ashore and afloat there was gay
show of bunting. Along the course the
balconies were filed with gayly dressed
ladies.
The start took place from the stone
road bridge at Putney. Cambridge won
the toss and chose the Surrey side. The
tide was running strongly and there was
slight wind.
All being in readiness the official starter
fired his pistol, and amid the shouts of
admirers and the hooting and screaming
of steam whistles and sirens the crews
shot up the stream.
Yells of excitement and shouts of en-
couragement to both crews arose all along
the course as the boats came in sight, and
as they passed craft of every kind to be
seen on the Thames closed in behind and
crowded after them.
At Clasper's boarhouse Cambridge was
leading by three feet. In the last half of
the race Oxford forged ahead.
AT the three-quarters point Oxford was
six feet in advance, and maintained it's
lead to the end, winning by two and q
half lengths.
The race had additional interest to
Americans this year by reason of the
prospective appearance of one of these
famous crews in America against Har-
ward or Yale. A comparison of the time
made at home and abroad becomes a
matter of Importance. In four-mile
equaled the tune made by Oxford this
year.
The victory of the Oxford crew in this
boat race places them five ahead of Cam
bridge, the results of previous matches
being q wins, and Cambridge
q wins. In 1887 there was dead heat.
Last years race over the same course
was won by Oxford in 10 minutes and 81
seconds.
Previous 20 this the fastest race rowed
between the rival universities was in 1873.
when Cambridge beat Oxford by 81
lengths in 10 minutes IS seconds.
This was the first occasion on which
sliding seats were used in an interuniver-
sity boat race.
Oxford's time to-day was is minutes
and AZ seconds, the best ever made on the
course.
