DENOUNCED AS EXTREME.
The Partisan Press Declare the Sentences Z
the Panama Omcials to Be Excessive.

The Partisan Press Declare the Sentences OF
the Panama Oniciais to Be Excessive.
PARIS, Feb. 10.-PubIic opinion is substan-
TALLY unanimous to the effect that the igno-
niinious Judgment passed upon Count Ferdi-
nand De Lesseps went beyond the requirements
of justice.
The newspapers consider the sentences very
severe, and especially that of Ferdinand de
Lesseps. The Figaro demands the pardon of
the man who has been one Of the glories Of
France.
The Journal des Debats says: To imagine
striking down the creator of the Suez canal in
his declining DAYS TO salve the public conscience
shows great misconception of the opinion OF
the nation.
The radical La Ldnterne declares that the
country itself has sustained blow from the
sentence which is useless in fact and excessive
in law.
The republican Steele protests against the
sentence and adds that glory is a thing so rare
and precious that the nation cannot too care
fully guard it,
The royalist Gaulois deplores the decision as
working havoc with the nOblest legends Of the
French people.
The independent Matin saws that yesterday s
decree marks a degree of ingrstitude of history
of personages concerned in the trial. Their
names will be illumned in the eyes of posterity
by the light of their deeds. and their suffering
will leave no appreciable stain, being merely a
judicial accident
The radical La Justice, NJ. Clemenceau's
paper, regards the judgment passed upon NJ.
Ferdinand de Lesseps as severe. As to the
other sentences. La Justice points out that
the other contractors we're exactly in
the same position with VI. Eifel, and
the official hquidstor OF the Panama Canal
Company ought to proceed against them all for
the recovery OF sums they unawfully claimed
and appropriated.
VI. Drumont writes to Lu Libre Parole, the
extremist organ. which was largely Instrumental
in making prosecution OF the Panama directors
inevitable. that in face of the severe sentences
there is only room for one feeling. namely,
pity.
VI. Henry Cottu and VI. Charles de Lesseps
have decided to appeal from yesterdays judg-
ment.

PROSPECT OF A LYNCHING.

A Brutal Father in Missouri ri May Feel the
Mob's Wrath.
GAILATIS, Mo-, Feb. 10.-There was great ex-
element yesterday over tine arrest and pro-
spective lynching of William Turner. who is
charged with ravishing his seven-year-
old daughter. The terrible crime was COM
mitted Wednesday at the home Of Turner's
parents, fifteen miles from this place, where he
has been living since his separation from his
wife short time ago The last reports were
that the injuries to the child were such
that IL could not recover and that
in case of its death mob would
visit punishment on the brutal father. The
prisoner is of u repulsive appearance. and when
questioned said that he was told that his child
was hurt and that he became afraid of a mob
and surrendered to the sheriff. The officers
are here to take him back to the scene of his
crime, but there is doubt whether they will be
permitted TO do SO.

in the case Of Hugh Mulholland, jr., convicted
in kentucky OF violating the postal laws, as fol-
lows: 1.-The persons asking clemency for the ac-
cused are among the most influential citizens Of
Kentucky, both in private and public life, and
they bear strong testimony to the previous good
character Of the prisoner. A deposition offered
by the defense on the trial (but excluded a. not

suicide confessed to the witness that he had
himself taken the registered packages which
statements Of the accused are in some respects

Colonel Grant Says Emperor Josephs King
dom Is Not In Favor of Dual Standard.
NEW YORK, July 9.-The ex-minister to
Austria. Col. Frederick ID. Grant, who ar.
rived hero yesterday on the American line
steamer New York, has joined his mother,
Mrs. u. s. Grant. at West Point His fam-
lily accompanied him.
In speaking of Austria Colonel Grant
says that the country is in q good condi-
tion and that the Austrian finances were
sound. Said he: Austria has plenty
of silver. and would be glad to favor
any thing that would bring about a more
general use of silver She is not
in favor of the dual standard. As few
American securities are held In Austria, 1t
would make little difference to that c0un-
try what silver legislation might be enact
ed iu the United States. In old European
countries. where many American securities
are held. the financial condition of this
tinanciers are doubtful of our ability to
maintain che dual standard. This ac-
counts tor the fact that SO many American
securities have been sold back, and an
lmmense deportation of gold from this
country has been the result"
Speaking of European politics In general
Colonel Grant said that many erroneous
reports had been spread about the peace of
Europe. The nations or Europe, he con-
tinued. were never more In favor of peace
than they are to-day. The German EN-
army bill was framed as peace measure.
By increasing the army the Emperor
wished to prevent war. and not to pro-
yoke it."

Reports have been current down town

It may be partly due to rheumatism. as

give his appetite full swing. at least dur
