PARIS, Jan. l9-Public interest in the Panama
trial IS evidently increasing the case draws to
close Today the defense opened, and the
court room was packed with people anxious TO
Rar ing
for his clients. Political considerations, he de-
clared, had much to do with the prosecution,
anu he emphatcaliy insisted that the men he
was defending should not be made scapegoats
for the advantage of any party or faction or to
advance the design OF ambitious men. He
maintained that the ptobity of his clients was
i'll no wise affected by the indictment on which
they were standing trial. He declared that the
construction of the Panama canal was far re-
novel from speculative acts IN its inception
and progress. The scheme had an honorable
foundation, though speculation arose fran 1t.
He dealt with the charges against the De Les
sep, and endeavored To show that they were
unfoUnded. In concluding Barbour declared
that he proposed TO prove that the public was
misied regarding the heavy OUTLAWS of the COM
pany, which. he declared, were fully justified.
When Barbour had finished the court ad-
journed until Tuesday.
socialists continue to make the Panama scam
DIAL the basis for revolutionary agitation. Citi-
zen Guesde says in an interview:
The Panama canal developments are edvanc-
ing the hour OF Socialist triumph. The revela-
lions, bad rs they are, have told our party
nothing new. 1t has long been known that
Opportun!st circles were tainted aud falling TO
pieces through decomposition. The Panama af-
lair Is great scandal but all the great banks
and industrial enterprises are in much the same
condition, only their turptude is hidden more
deeply. The Panama exposure will help en-
tighten the country. The small agriculturists
Will have their eyes opened to the dishonesty OF
their deputies, and VIII realize that it is oaly
our party that eau promise something app:ecia-
bic while asking nothing in return. Ia one
sense the occasion has come with inconveuisnt
suddenness. | fear it has ripened too quickly,
ana events find us in rather uuprepared
condition. The Soc alist ranks are not
fully equipped for the coming election.
II We had personal policy sufficient for the
present hour, and II we had money like the OPP
portunists and Reactonsts, We would be GER
tain to secure a maiority in the next chamber of
deputies. Unfortunately we can contest only q
part OF the electoral districts. but despite all
disadvantages we shall return forty to sixty

minority, through which, with perfected organ

along the whole line. Once attaining power, We
shall endeayor to bring about political economy
and appropriation OF the capitalists class, sub
shutting socialist methods oil production. We
shall lay our hands in the name OF the state on
the greal railway companies, the great industries
anu the warehouses. Under the social revolution
thus realized, the workers on railways and in
factories aud stores shall work on the states
account Salaries viii imgediately be raised
and the hours Of labor lessened. We viii deal
similarly with great landed properties. We
will seize ali of them Farmers Will work on
account OF the state, and the rent of the farms
will be diminished by half The present pro-
