PARIS, March 1l.-There were new
sensations in the Panama trial to-day.
The audience was much larger than on
the previous day owing to the expecta-
ton OF new developments, and the
deepest interest was exhibited in the
evidence given. A juryman asked
whether it was possible to trace the
100000 francs which De Lesseps alleged
that he had given to Floquet. De
Lesseps replied that he could not tell
how to trace the money.
II have been so long in prison." said
De Lesseps plaintively, "that am for
getting much that knew"
Rance testified to having accompanied
Clemenceau to see De Freyclnet about
the time testified to by Charles De Les
seps as that at which De Freycinet ad-
vised Charles De Lesseps not to have
litigation with Reinach. Rance said
that the government was then IN the
throes OF the conflict with Boulanpisn,
and law suit between the Panama
Canal Company and Reinach would have
been hurtful to the republic. No cues
ton arose, 80 Rance testified, in regard
to bringing pressure to bear upon the
Panama Canal Company.
Deputy Leon Borie, Boulangist, and
bitter enemy OF the Opportunisn. Gre
ated decided sensation in court by
stating that man named Blanchett
had offered him $1,000 francs for each
deputy that he would induce to vote for
the Panama lottery bond bills.
Charles De Lesseps here spoke up and
protested that he never knew Planchett.
Presiding Judge Desjardins decided
that he would summon several who were
members Of the chamber OF deputies at
the time tho lottery bonds bill was pro.
posed to confirm or deny tho statement
of Borie. Andrieux, who is generally
held responsible as the originator of the
Panama revelations, nsxt took the
stand. Owing to q cold his voioo was
almost inaudible. Andrieux testified

The POPULAR VoTE.-The total
vote for presidential electors cast

which it will be seen that Mr..
Cleveland's plurality over Harrison

cumstances:
The total vote cast was 12,OSl,-

Cleveland's plurality over President
Harrison upon this vote is 4l8,S60

will defeat by only few thous,

exceed 100000 under any circum-

means represent the real democrat
