THE PANAMA SCANDAL
Ministry Not Considered Stuff
GENTLY Purged.
eRlegRs' EXAMINATION CONTINUED.

NJ. Eiffel OuaiIs Visibly Under the Caustic
Words of the Presiding Judge-Hs
Makes Damaging Admissions Regard
ing the Money He Had Received.
PARIS, Jan. IA strong feeling is
expressed that Premier Ribot has not
sufficiently purged the Ministry of those
who, whether innocent or guilty, have
been under suspicion in connection with
the Panama scandal.
In Difference to this overwhelming pub
lie demand for further reconstruction of
the ministry, NJ. Ribot had long CONVEX
sation with Admiral Gervais, Chief of the
Department of Marine and of the Colo
MES in regard to accepting the Ministry
of Marine and of the Colonies in place
of NJ. Burdeau. Admiral Gervaise, how
ever, declines the Ministry of Marine and
Colonies. His ostensible reason is that
he prefers to devote himself to his present
naval duties, as thereby he can better
serve the interests of France.
At the Cabinet Council, after discus
sion of Admiral Gervais' declination, it
was decided to detach the Colonies from
the Marine and attach them to the De-
partment of Commerce, under NJ. Sieg-
fried The Marine portfolio will be
offered at once probably to another high
naval officer.
The Cabinet Council decided not to
make ministerial statement before the
Chamber, but to give any explanations
which deputies might request.

The Judge Openly Censures Him During
the Conspiracy Trial.

The Judge Openly Censures Him During
the Conspiracy Trial.
PARIS, Jan. 12-The trial of Charles
de Lesseps, Marius Fontane, Baron Cottu,
and NJ. Eiffel, accused of completely in the
Panama Canal frauds, was continued in
the Court of Appeal and gave much valu-
able information regarding the bribery Of
newspapers to prevent hostile attacks
upon the company, and also to prevent
the publication of matter that would
have shown the true condition Of affairs
ON the 1sthmus of Panama.
NJ Fontane stated that he had held the
position as manager of the company's
press affairs until 1885, when the exac-
tions of the newspapers became so heavy
that he was compelled to abandon the
post. Since that time he had been merely
the private secretary of NJ. de Lesseps
NJ. Fontane stated that he had dis
tributed to the press only 80, 600 francs in
drafts payable to bearer.
Interest in the proceedings conferred in
the examination of NJ. Eiffel, the con-
tractor. The questions put to him by the
court resulted in lively fencing between
the President and NJ. Eiffel's lawyers,
who raised objection after objection to
the interrogarions. The legal sparring
occupied considerable time and afforded
amusement to the audience.
Finally NJ. Eitfel admitted that he had
cashed checks for -, 900, 900 francs, which
had ostensibly been drawn to pay for ma
chinery, while he had actually only ex-
pended 1900, 900 francs for that purpose.
1t required considerable questioning to
bring NJ. EitTel to the admis sion that
besides the 1000, 900 francs given to NJ
Hebrard and the 1900, 900 francs given to
Baron de Reinach , 600, 900 had been paid
by him to certain contractor whose
favor, like that of Hebrard and Reinach,
was Indispensable to success. Presiding
Judge Pcrivier then asked:
NV hat did you do with the 5000, 900
received by you for taking to pieces and
shipping TO the Isthmus and there recon
structing machinery, which, as a matter
of fact, you never even supplied in this
country"
Il kept that sum because it formed
part of my remuneration for the risk
was undertaking" lamely replied NJ. Elf
fel.
Il consider such a transaction void,
replied Judge Perivier, severely, ''since II
| was the result of an error, to say nothing
more. The ProsecutorGe will tet
you more about this at the subsequent
| sittings of this court"
NJ. Eitfel visibly quailed under thes
words, and the audience rose to their fee
| to get better view of the manner Ii
| which he bore the reproof.

SENATOR KENNA.
Funeral Services in the Senate Chamber
To-day-RiS Career.

To-day-HiS Career.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The death Of
Senator John E. Kenna, of West Vir-
ginia, was announced to the Senate by
Mr. Blackburn. A committee of seven
Senators-Faulkner, Blackburn, Ran
som, Daniel, Walthall, Henderson and
Squire-was appointed to take charge of
the funeral ceremonies in the Senate this
afternoon and to accompany the body to
West Virginia.
The direct cause of Senator Kenna's
death was heart disease, from which he
had been for some years an acute sufferer,
so much so that for long intervals he
had been compelled to abandon his duties
as Senator and to forego all mental exer-
ton.
Two summers ago, with a view Of di-
verting his mind from his physical all
ments, he established an amateur boat
builders shop and busted himself in the
mechanical operation of constructing a
boat. He partially recovered and resumed
his seat in the Senate, and made one m e.
morable speech which was remarkable,
both for its length and vigor, but he soon
suffered a relapse, from which he never
rallied.
His sufEerings during the last few
months of his life, from heart spasms,
were so poignant that to himself as well
as to his family, death must have been
looked upon as almost welcome.
Mr.. Kenna was born in 1916, and was con-
sequently only As years Of age-the
youngest man in the Senate.
His birthplace was Valcoulon, Va,
since incorporated into West Virginia
He worked on a farm until the out
break of the civil war, when he entered
the Confederate Army as q private, and
fought through to the end.
He afterwards studied and practised
law until elected to Congress. He served
six years in the Lower House, and in
1888 was elected to the Senate as Dem
ocrat to succeed Henry S. Davis, the
father.in-law Of Secretary Stephen B.
Elkins, and the business associate Of
James G. Blaine.
His term of service would have ex
pired in 1895.
His death, at this time, will add a new
feature to the Senatorial contest now in
progress between the supporters of his
colleague, Senator Faulkner, and ex-Sen
ator Camden, who are contending for the
Senatorship now held by Mr.. Faulkner,
which will expire on the fourth of March
next.
Mr.. Kenna's Washington residence wa:
on Capitol Hill, at 100 B street, n. E
| and it was there he died.

THE KANSAS ASSEMBLY,,
A Truce Decided Upon-split in the Popu
lists Ranks.


Topeka, Kas., Jan. 12-The political
vendetta declared yesterday by the Popu
lists and Republican members of the
House of Representatives against each
other has been abandoned. Arbitration
has taken it's place. Last nights turn
of the legislative kaleidoscope has brought
about entirely unlocked for and surpris-
ing conditions.
The changed aspect of affairs present
two phases. One of them is that the
double barrelled legislature tired itself
out last night and both sides consented
to an adjournment until to-day.
The other surprising phase of the mat
ter is that the Populist party in Kansas
evidently has two factions. One of these
factions headed by Jerry Simpson, had
determined upon insisting that the Re-
publican members whose seats were con-
tested should not vote. That faction was
composed of the Populist House and had
counted upon its recognition by Gov.
Lewelling and the Senate as the legally
and constitutionally organized House.
But the Governor and the Senate, who
| with other Populist leaders comprise the
more conservative element of the party,
| refused to grant such recognition.
Thus the scheme of the more radical
| POpulists is baked by members of their
| own party, and in addition to their fight
against the Republicans they have an in.
| ternal fight.

A TEXANS PET CENTIPEDES.
After They Got Loose Their Owner Had
the Car to Himself

After They Got Loose Their owner HAD
the Car to Himself
IT was going to New York some time
ago. said a traveller to a ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat man. cat a way sta
ton in Indiana a little old man entered
the sleeper, carrying a wooden box
bored full of small holes. The car was
crowded, and nearly everybody had
gone to bed. The newcomer ordered his
berth made up, and retired to the smol1-
Accompaniment car for a few whiffs
on black brierwood pipe that was
strong enough to curl the hair on a
wooden Indian. When he started to re-
tire he picked up his perforated box.
The cover had come off, and the little
man stood staring at it with such look
of hopeless, helpless despair that ven
tured to ask him what was the matter.
'Matter?' he shrieked in his thin
falsetto that went through the car like
the note of a bagpipe, matter? I had
six centipedes in that box which I was
taking home from Texas, and the last
mothers son Of 'em has got eoutv
well, sir, if you had exploded a
pound of dynamite in that car you
would not have created greater con-
sternation. Men and women came
tumbling out of their berths in their
nightcaps and shortstop clothes. One
woman scratched herself on a pin, de.
| clared that a centipede was in her
clothes and got rid Of her scant habili-
ments in one time and two motions.
A fat man, who was a victim of priclzly
heat, imagined that he could feel a cen
tipede making its way down his spinal
| column and could with difficulty be re-
strained from jumping out of the cal
window. Mosquito bites were magni-
fed into deadly wounds and the whole
train ransacl1ed for doctors. The col
ored porter stood on the rear platform
and shook as though afflicted with the
palsy. Every body crowded into the
next car. shook out their clothes gin

Mortified passengers There was nc
