Bandholdcrs to he Protect d.
NEw YoRE, March 16.-The committee
Of the general mortgage bondholdors of
the Philadelphia-& Reading railroad
held a meeting this afternoon ut tho
Mercantile Trust Company. 1t was de-
cidod to invite bond owners to send in
their names and the amounts OF their
holdings. The committee yesterday
sent letter to tho Pennsylvania Com
.pany for insurance and Hnnutios, tho
iru ,toe OF tho bonds demanding that it
should compel the Reading Company
to comply with the agreement made
when the mortgage was negotiated and
put ten cents on onch ton Of coal mined
into the sinking fund.
Tho trustee was also requested TO
move for the removal OF President Nc.
Lood as ono OF tho receivers OF tho
Reading. 1t is charged shat since hU
had been president, Mr. Mcleod had
not set aside tho 10 cents on each ton
OF coal produced, and furthermore had
used up the fund during the two years
when Austin Corbin was president. A
letter was received from the counsel for
tho trustee Of tho general mortgage,

its action to-day it is evident to-day
that the senate intends taking its time
in the matter OF confirming appoint
ments, 1t was supposed that as soon as
the committees were recognized the
nominations SO far would receive
prompt action and that an executive
session would be held to-day, At the
previous ses,ionNit was ordered that as
soon as the committees had been APP
pointed the nominations should be re-
terred and those sent in by the Presl-
dent up to date are now in tho hands
OF the committee. These might have
been considered this morning in COM
mittee and confirmed to-day, but the
adjournment OF tho senate until next
Monday makes it impossible for any OF
the officials named by the President to
assume their duties until next week.

Tho Sarnia with Eight Hundred Passen-
gers, Five Days over Duo.
HALIFAX, N. s., March l6.-The trans
Atlantic steamer sarnia with 800 pa,-
sengers and q valuable cargo Of general
merchandise is now five days overdue
and great alarm is felt for her safety.
So great is the anxiety that steamer
is now being equipped to go out and
look for her. All day yesterday the
offices Of the ships company hero were
bcsieged by anxious friends and rela.
tives OF passengers on the steamer. 1t
is thought by some that she may have
fallen in with the long overdue Naronic,
and Is towing the missing freighter into
port. The agents, however, are inclined
to the belief that she has met with an
accident OF some kind that necessitated
her lying to ior repairs. The company,
however, docs not intend to run any
chances that it can possibly avoid and
tonight tho searching party on board n
steamer will have put To sea.
Anxiety for the welfare OF the sarnia
is increased by the reports OF terrible
storms that each incoming vessel brings
into port.

Cunningham & Co. said to-day that tho
attachment which thoyprocured against
the property Of tho Now York & New
England railroad was no part OF the
fight between tho ponnsylvania and
Philadelphia & Reading railroads, de-
spite tho fact that the firm handles tho
Pcnnsylvana coal. They had been
supplying the New England for several
years. Tho road owed them 100000
for coal. They sold on thirty days
time and when their money was past
due they wanted II. Now that tho Read.

PARIS, March l6-M. Barboux, couu;
sci for Charles De Lesseps, summed NJ
for his client in the Panama trial to
day. He spoke at great length, Away
earnestly and often eloQuentiy, In
opening his address. NJ, BARBOUR sait
that the present trial had begun asainsl
the wishes Of the Panama stockholders
who, much as they had been misrepre
sented, in reality had been oppoSed tt
the arraignment in court Of either Ferdi
nand or Charles De Lessepa, The stock
holders had disproved OF theplan tC
place the burden Of the Panama scanda
upon men bearing as great a name al
there was in France. They respected
and trusted Charles De Lesseps and tell
that the prosecution OF him WIS not only
unjust but blow at the revival OF the
canal enterprise.
NJ. Barboux analyzed the testimony
OF ex-D Deputy ChantQgrel, who gave evi
dence that NJ. selgon, in the name o.
Charles Del.essep', tried 10 buy hi
vote with 100000 francs, for the lottery
loan bill. NJ. ChNntagras' testimony
he said, had been contradictory and in
consistent with the date mentioned by
him, and apparently proceeded from
defective memory. Tho prosecution
was bound to produce in court testi
mony connecting the so'called bribl
giyers and bribo takers, This it haG
utterly failed to do. The only thrAI
persons who could have supplied the
evidence, although not TO the satisfac
tion of the prosecution, were Baron ID
Reinach, who was dead, Cornelius HerS,
who was absent on account OF illness,
and Arton, the lobbyist the pretended
search for whom had excited the laugh
ter OF all Europe.
NJ. Clemenceau might have given
some conclusive testimony in this trial,
but he was restrained from doing 90.
The ministers might have given the
hest information, but they withheld 1t.
Why had they not produced copies Of
the menacing kilograms sent by Corne-
lius Herr?
Tho advocate general-They are at
your disposal.
Judge Desiardins-Let them be pro-
duced in court tomorrow.
Continuing, NJ, Barbour asked why
Cornelius Herr had been permitted to
flee the country Why had he not
been seated among the prisoners, or at
least named among the accused? Mere
ly because for ten years he had been
the broker OF tho radical party. In
this matter politics had devoured both
their men and their millions. Radicals
held the power OF government and had
taken the money they needed to defend
their ideas, and enrich their supporters,
Whether this were called mendacity,
aims giving or brigandage, mattered
little. But who could believe the in.
itial in all these attractions came from
the men who had 10 do with the paying
instead Of those who did the recelyngr
The payments made to Baron De Rein.
ach, NJ. Barbour described as perfectly
legitimate. They were given, ho said,
according to an agreement with tho
bankers constituting the guarantee
syndicate. Who would be foolish
enough to believe that such large sums
were intended for tho insignificant
deputies and senators whom the jury
had seen in the court room2
After the laughter following this slur
had subsided Judge Desjardins pleaded
fatigue as an excuse toAadjournment Of
