THE AMERICAN END.
Congress Is Going to Investigate the
Panama Matter.
a Search Light to Be Thrown Out to As
certain Where the Millions of Francs
Sent Here Were Placed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-In reference to
the American end of the Panama scandal
the Washington correspondent of the
World says Congress is going to find
out how the Panama millions sent
this country to secure HAmerican
acquiescence'' in the canal project
was distributed. Speaking on the
subject Colonel Fellows said: tHad the
Panama fraud escaped detection ii is i'm
possible to say what the serious effect up
on the country's commerce would have
been caused by the fact that foreign
power had control of the isthmus. Be-
fore the French government threw a
search light on the great fraud arrange
ments had already been made to operate a
line of steamships on the Pacific in oppo-
sition to the American line. The American
line was established on the assurance that
this government would demand a full
acknowledgements of its privileges under
the new Granada treaty, but having alb
sorbed control OF the railroad the French
company through them would be no op-
position to further encroachment on our
rights at the isthmus. l understand it is
still the intention of the French company
to establish a Pacific line of steamers and
Congress should take steps at once to find
out Just what rights this government and
its citizens have under the treaty.
Congressman Fellows is pressing a res
olution for the investigation and is con-
WINGED that the first step in the gigantic
steal was taken on this side of the At
lantic and Americans shared in the fraud
american acqriescence, - he says, twas
accomplished by bribery in securing con-
troll of the American railroad across the
isthmus majority of the stock was
10 ght at market price and turned over
to French company at big margin OF
increase, which was divided among the
American manipulators and head con-
spirators in France.
Colonel Fellows believes the French
government will assist the United States
in discovering the names OF Americans
involved and that Congressional action
should not be delayed.

PARIS. Jan. 19.-Public interest in the
Panama trial is evidently increasing as
the case draws to a close. Today the de-
tense openedi and the court room was
packed with people anxious to hear
Maitre Barbeaux' speech, opening the
case for his clients. Political considera-
lions, he declared. had much to do with
the prosecution, and he emphatically in
sisted that the men he was defending
should not be scape goats for the adyant-
age of any party or faction to
advance the designs of ambitious men,
He maintained the probity of his
clients was in no wise affected
by the indictment on which they were
standing trial. He declared the eonstruc-
ton of the Panama canal was far removed
from speculative aims in its inception and
progress, and the scheme had an honor
able foundation though speculation arose
from 1t. He dealt with charges against
the De Lesseps and endeavored to show
that they were unfounded. In concIud-
ing he declared that he proposed to prove
that the public was mislead regarding the
heavy outlays Of the company, which he
declared were fully justified. When Bar
beaux finished, court adjourned till Tues
