Grimes Were Outlawed.
PARIS, June 15.-Considerable excitement has
been caused by the decision Of the court Of
cessation on the appeal of Charles de Lesseps
and the other defendants convicted Of fraud in
connection with the Panama Canal Company.
The court handed down its decision today,
quashing the sentence on the ground that the
statute Of limitations covered the offenses
charged, and that the indictment on which the
prisoners we're tried was irregular.
In consequence OF this decision NJ. Eifel was
at once liberated from prison.
NJ. Charles de Lesseps, who is in the ST. Louis
hospital suffering with acute attack of dys-
pepsia, was informed that he WAS Mt liberty.
but he was too ill TO leave the hospital.
There were five defendants convicted in the
tria, which ended on February last Thess
were Ferdinand de Lesseps. his son Charles,

CORONER PATTERSON TAKES CHARGE.
move in the proceedings was the summoning Of
new jury. As a matter Of fact. the old jury
was resummoned, although ii must be now con-
sidered as q new jury. The jury, as already
stated, consists Of the following gentlemen: Mr..
B. H. Warner, c. F. Schneider. VIM. Ayre,
Chas. /. Kellogg, Frank L. Hanvey and J. A.
Sibley.
The next step was to view q body, and early
this morning the jury, with Coroner Patterson,
went to Glenwood cemetery and viewed the
body Of Frederick Lotus, who lost his life in
the disaster and whose remains we're still in the
vault at the cemetery. From Glenwood the
jury proceeded to the scene Of the disaster and
looked once more upon the piled-up remains Of
wreckage which told Of the death Of over
twenty victims and the manning OF scores.
This was preliminary, and also preliminary
was the letter of Mr.. Ross Perry as counsel for
Col. Ainsworth, written to Coroner Patterson,
making a formal demand to be allowed to be
present at the inquest and to cross
examine witnesses, and the reply of
the coroner refusing such demand.
Mr.. Perry in his letter, as printed
elsewhere in The STAR, objected also to the old
jury. 1t may be said that there will be no
further legal steps interjected into the inquest
by Col. Ainsworth. Possibly the decision
might be appealed to the Court of Appeals, bu.
as the court adjourns almost Immediately it
will certainly not be done.
From the scene Of tie disaster the Jury and
coroner went to Willard Hail and the regular
inquest was commenced. 1t was, however,
commenced on new lines. Building experts
were the witnesses, and the questions which
were as&ed, mainly by Mr. Thomas and
Juror Hanvey, who is well-known contractor,
were straight to tho point Of the character and
safety Of the building, both before and in con-
nection with the excavations for the electric
ligh: plant.

Building Experts Give Their Testimony as

the sale of the lands, nor the interest
thereon, shall be applied to the pur
chase or repair of any building, while
the bill provides that the funds
accruing from the sale of such lands
shall be used for the construction and
maintenance of the college.
The attorney general holds that
only the interest arising from such
funds could be used for the benefit of
the college and that it could not be
used to pay for the construction of
buildings. The principal cannot be
impaired. In conclusion, the attorney
general says: ''The intention of con-
gress to create an irreducible fund,
one that will not only benefit present
but also all future generations, is
most manifest.

may do an injustice to the company.
1t is true that the road was in bad
shape when the present management
succeeded the college regime, and it
is possible that bad point was over
looked; but there is no one living
along the line who does not know
that the greatest care has been ex-
ercised to put the road in thoroughly
good condition. After track has
been torn up in wreck, ties which
would have stood searching inspection
may appear to have been defective.
The jurymen, however, visited the
scene and their verdict is entitled to
respect. If bad ties did cause the
wreck, the work of the section fore
man responsible will unquestionably
be gone over in manner that will
insure the road and the public against
repetition of the experience.

MINERAI.

The recent storm has passed over
and everything in and about Mineral
is calm, clear and quiet.
Both smelters are now taking
rest, and are liable to rest until the
mine owners can learn the fate of
silver. If it goes lower we are free
to say that little will be done in Min
eral the coming summer unless the
new administration soon to come into
power keeps its promise strictly, viz:
that the wages of the workingman
should be kept up to the standard, or,
in short, that labor should be well
paid. Now, to maintain this propo-
sition, it is plain that the party and
administration will be compelled
through force of circumstances to
pursue a vigorous and determined
policy on the silver question.
Mineral is very much agitated at
present over a prize fight between two

The Agricultural College.

An undoubtedly fatal blow has been
dealt the Idaho Falls agricultural col
lege bill. We can best give the
situation, perhaps, by copying from
the Statesman of Sunday last, which
says;
1t has been urged for some time by
the opponents of the Idaho Falls ag-
ricultural college bill, that that meas
ure was in conflict with the provisions
of the federal grant.
The senate judiciary committee
asked Attorney General Parsons for
an opinion as to whether the money
arising from the sale of lands, granted
the state for the use and support OF
the agricultural college, could be used
for the purpose of erecting buildings,
or whether only the interest arising
from an investment of such money
could be used.
j. W.. Reid, the well known
attorney, prepared brief in behal
of the friends of the bill, which wa'
presented to the attorney general.
The latter prepared an opinion set
ting forth that the measure is il
direct conflict with the act of congres
granting lands to the states ant
territories that shall provide college
for the benefit of agriculture and tn
mechanic arts
The act in question provides tina
lno portion of the fund arising fror
