Away.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL

professional revolutiouist who sought refuge
in Colombia after his expulsion from Hon
duras by General Domingo Vasquez, has
now been expelled from this republic. He
was arrested to-day and placed on board
steamer which sails from Colon to New
York.
He made vigorous protest against the
action of the Colombian Government. and
declared that it would cause the discou-

HER PRESTIGE LOST.
An Appeal to the Jury on Behalf
of De Lesseps.
What Can Be Done to Serve Frarce
in the Day of Her Great
Extremity.
Special to THE MoRxINs CALI

PARIS, March 17.-Barboux, counsel for
Charles de Lesseps, resumed bis argument
for the defense at the opening of the court
this morning. He maintained that his client
was ignorant OF the manner in which Baron
Reinach used the money paid to him by the
canal company; that the evidence in the
case proved that the efforts Of Clemenceau,
Fioquet and De Freycinet to prevent law
suit from being instituted by Reinach
against the company were made solely in the
interests of the Government
Dubuit, counsel for Marus Fontane. one
Of the indicted Panama directors. received
an ovation on account OF his spirited pro-
test yesterday against Premier Rbots i'm
putaton on the members of the bar in his
statement In the Chamber of Deputies.
When Dubuit arrived in the robng-room
of the Assize Court, before the resumption
of the trial to-day. the members of the bar
cheered and waved their official caps sew
eraI minutes. Dubuit was warmly con-
graduated on his effort as a successful
refutation Of Ribot's charges. The incident,
which arose ont of a report that counsel for
Cottu intended to make an open statement
in court TO the effect that a certain foreign
ambassador was among the recipients of
the Panama bribery money. has excited the
keenest Indignation among the members Of
the legal profession.
Barbour. in concluding his address on
behalf of Charles de Lesseps to-day, said
that from the outset Of the trial the country
had looked upon 1t less for its value than as a
symptom Of French public life. All these men
were in the harness of office, and not alone
those accused here but others also might
have been prosecuted in order to satisfy
public opinion.
Why" exclaimed Barbour, "were the
Rouviers and Thevanets let go2 Doubtless
because It would have been dangerous to
prosecute them. Your consclences, jury
men, will dictate to you verdict whereby
you will earn the impossible honor of hav-
ing done justice to an honorable man, re-
stored fame to an illustrious name. and
compensated the country for the prestige
lost through the accusation of one Of her
noblest children"
Dubuit then proceeded to argue in defense
of NJ. Marius Fontane, urging that there
was nothing in the evidence to sustain the
charge against his client.
The liqudatOr of Baron de Reinach's
estate has found documents which prove
that Reinaeh was obliged to pay more than
11.000,o COO francs to Cornelius Herr. These
documents are supposed to corroborate
partly the story that Reinach was driven
to suicide by Herz's persistence in ievying
blackmail.

MITCHELL MUCH DEPRESSED.
He Received Bad News About His
Friend and Racker

Tie ReceIVed BAD News About His
Friend and Backer.
BUFFALO, March 17-"Fight in Buffalo ?"
said Charley Mitchell to reporter tonight.
"Why, my dear boy. there isn't place on
the face OF the earth where I'd rather fight
than Buffalo,"
When Mitchell registered at the hotel the
clerk handed him telegram. 1t was from
the valet of his friend, Squire Abingdon
Baird and read: Baird is surely diving.
Three physicians are in consultation over
him. You had better come here imme-
diately."
Mitchell was very much depressed over
the sad news, and during the rest of the
evening talked of but little else than his
sick friend.
NEW ORLEANS, March 17-George A.
Baird, better known as Esquire Abingdon,
is in very critical state, and his death is
expected at any moment Ever since the
day Mitchell and Hall left this CITY the
squire has been confined to his bed, and
daily his condition has grown worse. At
first it was believed that he was suffering
from a severe cold, which lie contracted
when he seconded Jim Hall in his fight with
Fitzsimmons. 1t developed shortly into
pneumonia, and high fever followed. For
two days he has been deirOus and scarcely
eats any food. To-day the doctors held
consultation, but nothing was agreed upon,
and they will hold another tomorrow. The
squire has been unwell for months, but he
has never been so seriously i'll as now.
To-day he had bad turn, and up to mid
night he was in comatose condition. The
squire, since his arrival in this city, has
been leading life of dissipation, and after
Halls defeat he hardly went to bed until
he broke down in health. The physicians
are nearly all of the time at his bedside, and
the best of attention is given the sick
sportsman. There is little hope Of his
recovery

The story published TO the effect that
President Cleveland had inaugurated big

pleasure on account Of the manner in which
the committees of that body had been or

have been better pleased if the Senate COM
mittees had been organized differently, but
he has not and does not intend to manifest
any displeasure or disappointment he may
feel. The attention Of several Senators
who called at the White House was called

MADE COAL HIGHER.
1t Was the Most Powerful Combine
Yet KnnWn

Yet Known.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 1.-THE latest
developments in the coal combine sensation
tend to confirm the investigating committee
In the belief in The existence of such
combine. Mr. Welsh of the joint committee
secured batch of original letters giving
future details of the combines organization
and methods of work, and the committee
will have them unGer consideration to-day
These letters apparently prove conclusively
that great combine exists that requires all
wholesale dealers to pay to John J. Rhodes
$1,000 before going into business, and re-
taiers must pay 500 to the same gentleman
for like purpose.
The supply of coal is absolutely cut off
from all persons who attempt to sell It
without authority" In one letter, said to
have been written by Rhodes, S. n. Wilson
of Minneapolis was informed that he had
better furnish no more cUal to W. Esters
till the latter paid his subscription. In
another letter the Lehigh Coal and Iron
Company is told that it must make W. Pet
ran subscribe or shut off his supply. Other
letters of similar nature were found.
Chairman Donnelly of the committee has
received letter from one of the Pennsyl-
vania coal barOns containing the threat
that Minnesota will get no hard coal If the
investigation is not dropped at once.
