VI. Barbour Speaks In Behalf OF the
Panama Canal Directors.

fBy Anglo-Amerlcan cable 10 the Dispatcb.l
PARIS, January I'm. Barbour began
the argument for the defence in the Pana-
ma canal conspiracy case to-day. tie gave
full vent 10 his oratory IN recounting the
many struggles of Count Ferdinand de
Lesseps and laid particular stress upon
his contest with Great Britain over the
Suoz Canal He then proceeded to ex-
anime into the duties and responsible
ties OF the directors of the CON-
pany, winch he declared had been
faithfully aud correctly carried out.
He dealt with the charges against De Les
seps and endeayored to show that they
were unfounded. In concluding his speech
he declared that the heavy OUTLAWS made
ON behalf Of the company were fully Iusti-
fed. and he proposed 70 prove that puDnc
opinion in this matter had been misleading.
When be had finished the court adjourned
until Tuesday.
NJ. Barboux's speech was @ masterpiece
OF oratOry, aud though his eloquence was
fervid il never carried him to point where
his words could be construed as admitting
In the slightest degree anything deroga-
tory to the characters or methods OF the
men he was defending. The address made
quite AN impression. 1t was listened to by
many lawyers prominent at the french
bar, and at it's conclusion Nj. Barbour was
complimented by his legal colleagues.
Charles de Lesseps was much overcome
by the tributes paid him and his father by
the advocate, and warmly thanked him for
his eloquent defence.
