THE PANAMA TRIAL.
Attorneys for Charles do Lesseps Pleat
ing EloQuently for Their Client.

Attorneys for Charles dc Lesseps Plead
ing Eloquently for Their Client.
PARIS, March 1S-In the trial of Charles
de Lesseps and his associates today Wal
deck Rousseau made an eloquent appeal
to the jury for mercy to his client, Bal
hut Darnet. in his argument in behalf of
ex-Deputy Sans-Leroy. sought to sustain
by documentary evidence tho story that
Sans-LerOy at the time he deposited the
amount alleged to have been given to him
by Arton as bride. was simply reinvest-
ing his wife's dowry.
Barbour, In concluding his address
on Friday in behalf of Charles de Les
seps in the Panama trial, said that
from the outset of the trial the country
looked upon it less for its value than as
a symptom of French public life. All
these men wore the harness of Office, and
not alone those accused here, but others,
also, might have been prosecuted in order
to satisfy public opinion. He exclaimed:
Why were the Rouviers and the vanets let 60?
Doubtless because it would have been danger
Gus to prosecute them. Your consciences, jury.
men, will dictate to you the verdict whereby
you will earn imperishable honor by having
done justice to an honorable man, restored fame
TO his illustrious name and compensated your
country Tor the prestige lost through the accu.
ss,ion OF one of her noblest children
He maintained that his client had been
ignorant of the manner in which Baron de
Reinach used the money paid him by the
canal company: that the evidence in the
case proved the efforts of Clemenceau,
FIoauet and De Freycinet to prevent a
lawsuit from being instituted by De Rel
mach against the company were made
solely in the interests of the government.
Dubluit proceeded to argue in defense of
Fontane. He urged that there was moth
ing in the evidence to sustain the charge
against Fontane.
The Equidator Of the late Baron de
Eeinach's estate has found documents
which proved that De Reinach WAS Obliged
to pay more than 100000 francs
to Cornelius Herr. The documents
are supposed to corroborate the story that
De Reinach was driven to suicide by
Herz's persistency in levving blackmail.

BIG BATTLE IN BRAZIL.


0ovol0t1OO10to OF Rio GTo00e DO 00I De
feat 5000 Federal Troops.
VALPARAISO, March 1s-Gen. Tavares.
leader Of the revolution in Rio Grands
do Sui. Brazil, has routed and put to
fight an army of 1900 men which the
government of Brazil sent against him I'M
der the command of Gen. Tello. This
news was telegraphed by . correspondent
in Rio Grande do Sui. and has just been
been confirmed. The battle was fought
near Ypacaray. to which point Gen Ia
varex retired when the advance guard of
Gen. Tello's troops reached Santa Ana on
Wednesday. Tavarez' retreat in reality was
feint by which he led the enemy into
trap and forced him to give battle
on the ground selected by the leader of tho
revolutionary army. When Tavarez fell
back before the advance of Tello's army he
made it appear that he was trying to
avoid an engagement. HIS movement
appears to have completely deceived the
government commander, who pushed his
forces on toward the position taken by the
revolutionists.
The attack upon Tavarez's army was
made yesterday morning. In vain Gen.
Tello tried to repel the attack. His coll
umns were soon shattered and his waver-
ing ranks fell back under the murderous
fire Of the revolutionists. The rout of the
government army was complete. 1t was .
great victory for Tavarez Quickly divid-
ing his forces. he sent ono division
to pursue the fleeing army under
Gen. Tello, while he started at the
head Of the other on march
toward Uruguayana, the proposed West
ern terminus of the railroad which runs
to Porto-Alegre. Uruguayana was strongly
defended by an army under Gen. Pipol;to,
and to capture it had been the design of
Gen. Tavarez from the beginning Of the
revolution. This was partly aided by the
capture Of Allegro, an important strategic
point in the mountains on the railroad
line between Cacequay and Uruguayana,
with detachment Of 500 men.
Col. Pena attacked the town and drove
out the government garrison and took pos
session. A division was sent by Gen.
Tavarez to attack the troops recently
landed at Porto Allegro. who are now
marching toward the seat of war.

sion of ample proof that the great apostle
of discomfort was not only traitor and
coward, but dishonest man, who lived,
when outside of prison walls, like q nabob

What precipitated ths climax is knowl-
edge that he most recently had q private
meeting with Superintendent Byrnes and
Police Commissioner Martin, at which it
is said he promised not only to stop de-
nouncing the police in the future, but also
to divulge many secrets concerning the
doings of his fellow anarchists, on con-
dition that he himself be allowed here

SAN FRANCISCO. March 1s.-Capt. Bryant,

mind that no more opium shall be SNUG

company's steamers. When the collier
San Benito arrived from Tacoma on
her last trip over 100 tins of opium
were found hidden in her coal bunk

again yesterday. and she was hardly made
fast to the wharf before an order was read
to the firemen, notifying them that their
services were no longer required. The
men were informed that their discharge

OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.

The new president occupied but few
minutes in his address before taking the
chair, and the floor was then given to
Mrs. Lease who made one Of ner char
acteristlc talks on the money question.
She was loudly spplsuded.
The committee on resolutions con-
sisted OF: Fl. M. Taylor, Mexico; Colo
rsdO, Governor D. Fl. Waite; Iowa, Gen.
eral ]. B. Weaver; Kansas, John w.
Breidsnthal; Missouri, DR.. r. NJ. King;
Montana, ]. W. Powers; Oregon, ]. X.
Weatherbee; South Caroline, Governor
B. H. Iillman; Texas, o. F. Hlckleman;
Washington, H. G. Walters.
Colonel Fisk spoke on the subject Of
coinage, suggesting that if the silver
question could not be settled according
to the free coinage idea it would be nee
esssry to adopt some mRkeshift, per-
hRps to make foreign coin legal tender.
General Weaver was not in favor Of Q
maksshift but wanted a permanent sOlu-
tiOn Of the money question. The power
to do this rested with congress and upon
congress rested the responsibility. Tns
general read and dissected Clevsland's
letter explaining his position on the sill
yer question, and in doing so scored the
president numerically.
Wednesday forenoon was given ND TO
speech making and reading of letters
from prominent men who were unable
to attend, among these being General A.
j. Warner, Congressman Bland, Judge
Nugent, Of Texas; David Overmyer, OF
Topeka; and Governor Fishback Of Ar
kansas. The latter wrote among other
things: "The attitude Of eastern wealth,
30 thoroughly combined and organized
as only wealth can be, is not only the
great obstacle to the development of the
west and south, but it il breeding dis
content which is alarming and which ap-
peals to American patriotism with un-
wonted force. No sensible and patriotic
man will object to the legitimate accu-
mutation Of wealth. share none Of the
usual prejudice against wealthy men. To
accumulate wealth honestly Ia duty,
and ought TO be an inspiration to youth
as well as to old age. But true It Is and
q sad pity it is that it is true that the
wealth Of the eastern section Of the
country Is and has for thirty years been
sowing the wind and already harvest Of
whirlwind is ripeniDg for its garnerers,"
Walter N. Allen, of Kansas, read q
paper on finance and brought out some
points which had not been discussed. II
will be found In this issue. After ad-
dresses by several others, the Kansas
delegation displayed good judgment by
calling on Governor Stone and letting
him commit himself to the free coinage
side Of the question. The committee on
resolutions read report which was laid
over till Thursday.

IN CONGRESS-.
The Senate Will Hold Night Sessions Un-
I'll Vnta nn tha Silver IL Reached,

til q Vote on the Silver is Reached,
WASHINGTON, October 9-Lsst Sstur-
day Senator Voorhees, gave notice that
beginning on Wednesday he would Rsk
the senate to sit continuously until a
vote on his repeal bill shall be reached.
IL Mr.. Voorhees, fails in his effort or
fails in retaining q quorum, the senate
will be in better mood for coming to an
understanding. It is understood that
some Of the republican advocates Of re-
peal will decline to assist their demo
cratic co-workers to the extent Of sitting
up nights with them.
Senator Pugh says the silver men in
vite this test, and when it is once begun
will themselves see that the session is
made continuous. He says that il the
repeal advocates demand night sessions
there will be flibustering, and that the
anti-repeal force viii be justified in re-
sorting to the same tactics.
Senator Msnderson authorizes the
statement that it is his opinion that the
test Of physical endurance to be applied
in the shape Of continuous sessions in
the senate next week will result either
in a compromise or an adjournment Of
congress.
It is unoficially declared that this
move Of Mr.. Voorhees, 10 the last endes-
vor of the minority to secure uncondi-
tlonRl repeal, but it is the belief that all
the test will disclose will be that unCon-
ditionsl repeal, under the existing rules
and circumstances, is impossible. Com
promises are being talked Of confidently.
The administration stands for uncondi-
tionsl repeal as steadily as ever, but the
men from the silver states, RmenRble to
no influence other than that of their
constituents, will not abandon their posi-.
tion.
On Friday Mr.. Blackburn, Of Ken
lucky, submitted an amendment to the
bill repeating the silver purchasing
clauses of the act of 1890. 1t strikes out
the Voorhees, substitute, leaving the bin
as it passed the house, and then pro-
vides for the free coinage Of silver OF
American production. The secretary OF
the treasury is authorized on the first
day of each month to establish the seign-
orsge to be charged for the following
month, which is to be the difference be-
tween the market price OF silver bullion
and the minted value after coinage. The
seignorsge ism to be coined, but is to be
sold by the secretary Of the treasury for
gold to be used for the purpose Of main
tanning the parity Of gold and silver.
This is the amendment which Mr.. Black
burn, in his recent speech, said be would
propose with a view Of reaching COM
promise.

THE MONEY QUESTION.
Discussed by the Pan-AmeriCan Bi-Mstal-
lin Convention in St, Lnnia.


lio Convention in St. Louis,
It was a notable gathering, that BIZ
metallic convention held in Armory
hall, st. Louis, October 8, 4 and 5, and
as is usual in such cases, Kansas fur
nishsd strong delegation. The meet
ing was the outgrowth of the one held
In Chicago, August l, and there were q
great many delegates present.
The convention was called TO order by
A. G. Fisk, Of Colorado, and among those
present were Governors Lewelling, of
Kansas; Waite, Of Colorado; Tillmsn, Of
South Carolina, and Stone, Of Missouri;
with General Weaver as q conspicuous
and active figure. In the Kansas dele
cation were John w. BrsidenthRl, ex-
Governor Osborne, s. s. King, Ed s.
Waterbury, Walter N. Allen, DR.. G..
Bohrer, J. II. Lsthrop, F. B. johnson
and Mrs. M. e. Lease.
Hon. Nathan Frank, representing
Mayor Walbridge Of st. Louis, and Gov
ernor Stone, each gave a welcome ad-
dress. s. s. King, Of Kansas, responded
in behalf Of the delegates, and the con-
vention got to business by slecting Gov
ernor Tillmsn as temporary chairman.
This was the result Of little courteous
GUS diplomacy among the Kansas dele
cation and proved to be q very satlsfac-
tory.:move. The governor took the chair
after delivering a short address which
teemed with q spirit Of reciprocity be-
tween the west and south. He said they
Of the south had had enough Of section
slism for partisan purposes, but they
were now willing TO join hands with the
west for the purpose Of protecting their
interests against further oppression from
that section which had been grinding
the south under it's heel Committees
on credentials and permanent orgRnizs-
tiOn were appointed before the conVen-
ton adjourned for dinner.
After noon the credentials committee
reported and gave the names of dele
gates from Mexico and each of the fol-
lowing states and territories: Colorado,
Iowa, Texas, Indiana, Montana, Kansas,
South Carolina, New Mexico, Arkansas
and Missouri. In addition to these dele
gates appointed by the several governors,
there were representatives from different
labor and trade organizations. On mo-
ton Of General Weaver it was declded
that each state represented should have
twenty votes and each representative Of
q body should have one vote.
Agreeable TO the report Of the COM
mlttee on permanent organization the
following permanent officers were elected:
President, Hon. L. d. Lewelling, Of Kan
Sos; vice president, Hon. M. E Benton,
Of Missouri; secretary, Hon. 0lney New
eli, OF Colorado; assistant secretaries,

NOTES AND COMMENT,

A terrific storm visited the coast Of
Alabama and Louisiana on the End,
flooding the low lands and destroying q
great deal Of life and property. The loss
of life is estimated at 1000.
Judge Gary, the convictor of anarch-
lists, has been rsnominsied for the posi-
tion he now holds in Chicago. By q
combination Of republicans and demo-
Gratis it will probably be an easy matter
to elect him.
Through the efforts Of Delegate Flynn,
Of Oklahoma, and Congressman Hud-
son, q general investigation Of the al.
legged frauds connected with the opening
Of the Cherokee strip has been ordered
by the war department.
Ferdinand Ward, who spent several
years in Sing Sing to atone for his COM
plicity in the Grant & Ward bank frauds,
has made public statement which, il it
does not exonerste him, throws some
very unfavorsble light on the business
character Of some Of the Grant family.
The United States Press association,
which furnishes news to daily papers
over the Postal Telegraph and Cable
company's wires, and occasionally tells
the truth about political matters, is be-
ing frozen out of business. During the
past week the st. Louis dailies and
Texas Press association abandoned it. It
looks as IL the Western Union will soon
control the telegraph news service.

On or about the evening Of September
16, the day the Cherokee strip was set
tied, there was issued at the town Of
Kildare the first number Of "The
