In lecture at Edinburgh Prof Grant

"a railway train, travelling night aud

would reach the moon in six months,
the sun in 200 years, and Alpha Cen.
tauri, the nearest of tho fixed stars, in
40 100000 OF years. a ball from gun,
travelling at the rate OF 200 miles an
hour, would not roach Alpha Centauri

JIM CORBErT REPLIES
Peter Jaekson's Proposition for Forfeit
IN Case Mitchell Flunks.

GALESBURG, Ills, March 14.-COn-
cerning Peter JacksOn's proposition TO
fight him IN case Mitchell fails to ap-
pear, and the offer OF the Buffalo Ath-
letic Club to have the fight there, Cham
pion COrbett said tonight:
'In reference to the Jackson busi-
ness; 40 the same time that | arranged
the match with Mitchell, l offered to
arrange a contest with Peter Jackson,
10 take place seven months after the
fight with Mitchell. l covered the
8. 500 which accompanied his challenge
in NewYork, thus binding myself to fight
both Mitchell and Jackson within the
next sixteen months, allowing Mr.,
jackson the privilege Of Withdrawing
his match with me in case of my defeat
by Mitchell. These terms, which | be-
lieve 20 be as fair as any offered by a
champion before, did not suit Jackson,
aud he withdrew his forfeit money, and
announced his retirement from the
negotiations Since GOddard's defeat,
however, be at once comes forth
with the ridiculous proposition that
guarantee him $1,000 training expenses
in order that be may be able TO take
MtchelPs place next December, in case
Mitchell should funk. l think Mitch
ell proposes to fight. His money is up
and If he fails 20 show that he means
business, will certainly claim the for
felt. II Jackson wishes to fight
me seven months after l meet
Mitchell, the original PROPOSE
tion is still before him to accept, and if
Mitchell should funk in any way be-
tween now and next December, am
perfectly willing that Jackson should
take his place, but he will have to pay
his own training expenses If he wants
to fight me for the title hold.
Now, as for the proposition OF the
Buffalo club, | am perfectly willing TO
have my fight with Mitchell take place
in Buffalo, and suggest that the name
of that club is added to the list men
TONED In the articles of agreement"
In closing Corbett said that it was
finally decided to-day that he should
train for the fight on the farm OF viii
j. Davis at Willowdale, not far from
Chicago.

That He Ever Saw the List or Pur.

fdence.
PARIS, March 14.-In the Senate to-
day NJ. Loubet, the former Premier, de-
MED that he had connived in the al
legged bargain which Madame Cottu had
charged that Soinoury had offered her.
M. Loubet defied any Que TO prove that
he ever possessed list OF deputies i'm
plicated in the Panama scandal.
Senator Halgan, of Vendee, urged
that IL Madam Cottu had committed
perjury, she sought to be prosecuted.
He added that, if M. Loubet had not
seen the list, NJ. COnstans had seen II
Senator Constans, the former Minis
ter of the Interior, replied that he had
never possessed any such list; in fact,
ne thought the list had no existence,
except in the heated imaginations OF
certain psople. Cheers
NJ. Constans went on 10 say that no.
body had anything to gain by this sort
of scandal. The country wanted quiet.
If Justice were allowed to do Its duty
the extravagant stories now current
would die out. Cheers.
Premier Ribot said that IL was infa-
nous to suggest that President Carnot
ever possessed list OF the character
stated. NJ. Ribot added that he would
protect NJ. Soinoury, as be believed that
Solnoury did not attempt TO bargain
with Madame COttu.
The Senate then divided on the ques-
tion of confidence in the government
and the government was sustained by a
vote of 2O9 to So, the result being re-
ceived with great satisfaction by the
supporters of the ministry.

The Evidence Taken Yester-

dence Given the Government.
The Excitement Should Be AL
lowed to Die Out.

PARIS. March 14.-The Court OF AS
size was again crowded to-day when
the trial Of Charles DeLesseps, Baihaut
and their fellow defendants, was re-
sumed.
M. Constans, the former Minister OF
the Interior, was called to the stand.
He denied in emphatic language the al
legged assertion Of NJ. YveS-Guyot to the
effect that he (Constans) had
handed to President Carnot
list or deputies implicated
in the alleged bribery and corruption
connected with the Panama lottery
bonds bill. He had never, he declared,
possessed such list. This ended the
examination OF M. Constans.
" Lieutenant Lucien n. Bonaparte who
is tSe French engineer prominently
connected with the efforts to prolong
the Panama canal enterprise, testified
that he remembered that M. Monchi-
court, official liquidator Of the Panama
Canal Company, had mentioned eigh-
teen months ago tEat the directors OF
the Panama Com pany had handed him
a sealed paper.
Charles DeLesseps hastily arose and
denied this statement. lie said be had
given M. Monchicourt full a count OIL
all the expenditures, excepting one
million four hundred thousand
francs, the employment OF which
he had fully and candidly
explained to the examining magistrate,
M. Franouevile. This declaration OF
Chas. LeLesseps caused sensa-
tion, and the spectators could be heard
discussing the revelation in loud whis-
pers.
The deposition OF M. Monchicourt,
official receiver of the Panama Canal
Co., was read in court. This deposit
tion set forth that Charles DeLesseps
had refused to communicate the names
OF the beneficiaries of seven million
francs in bonds made payable to bear
er.
In the face of the denial offered by
Chas. DeLesseps the court ordered that
M. Monticourt should be examined be-
fore a Magistrate in relation TO the cir
cumstances.
The counsel in the case then pro-
ceeded to address the court. M. Boul-
lay condemned the conduct OF Soin-
oury, late chief OF the detective de-
partment, toward the virtuous and
heroic M. Cottu and he concluded
by appealing to Charles DeLesseps in
his own interest and in the interest OF
the public to divulge the names OF tho
104 deputies OF the famous list OF al
legged bribe takers.

To-day news was received from Rus
sell county that seven persons were
caught between two fires yesterday
and perished. Their names are: VIM.
Bailey, Dave Hutchinson, Albert
Moore, A. McDouald, Mrs. Lefevre,
two unknowns. Bailey was fearfully
burned about the abdomen and breast
and died in awful agony.
The men were all farmers and were
out feeding their stock. The prarie fire
had been seen approaching In the dis
tance and the unfortunates bad made
for an open space where they hoped
they might be enabled TO fight of the
torrent Of fire.
Quickly getting TO work they cleared
the ground for several yards around
them and, as best they could, dug a
trench around the space. Their efforts
