tainly, when he returned to Paris from
Italy the project engrossed his whole

Three of the Los Angeles Men Not

members of the board Of mediation of the
local A. r. u, convicted of the crime of
consDiring to violate the law pertaining to
the movement of mail trains, to eighteen
months imprisonment in the County Jail,
and also imposed fine uDon each of 81.
Counsel for the defendants, excepting

for new trial on the ground that the ver-
dict of guilty was contrary to the evidence
and the law, and also that Judge Ross in
charging the jury erred. and misdirected
the jury on points or law.
AT the conclusion of the argument the
court stated that he was satisfied no error
of law had been made, and that the ver-
dict had been returned on the evidence,
which was amply sufficient. and therefore
the motion for a new trial was denied.
To-day counsel for the three first-D AIMED
convicted strikers appeared before Judge
Ross and appealed from his decision.
Judge Ross issued an order allowing the
appeal, which must come before the Cir
cult Court Of Appeals, which does not
meet until October, 1895 Bail was fixed
at $4,000 each pending the determination of
such appeal from Judge Ross decision.
The defendants have thus far been unable
to furnish the necessary bail

THE BODY IN A BOX.
Identified as the Custodian of
Building.
1t Was Found in a Packinp-Case
Purporting to have Come
From France.

CHICAGO, Dec. THE chopped and
hacked body of man was discovered to-
day in a shipping case, in an alley be-
tween Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth streets
The body apparently had been cut up to
fit the case and shipped from a distant
point. The head was not badly mutilated
and the police hope for Identification Of
the remains, which have been placed in
the South Side Morgue. The shippin o
case bears French stamp, indicating the
body was. shipped from France. The
body is that of man about 40 years old
of refined appearance. His head is par
TALLY bald and the face clean shaven, ex-
cept for long blonde mustache. In the
case, carefully wrapped in paper. was
found a lock Of dark, fine hair, evidently
that of woman. The police have no
clews upon which to base even a theory.
The box was marked sc. P. Peterson" ="
nun bered 1852. aud the stamp "Made in
France" The traces of other marks were
found, but they had been carefully dIstg-
ured, making them unreadable. The doc
tors said the man could not have been
dead more than two days, and it was
thought that French shipping case was
used to divert suspicion.
With the body were:found clippings of a
carpet, which were identified as having
come from the Pullman palace-car shops,
the clippings apparently having been
used as packing for the body. In the
case was also found torn bit of paper
bearing the address "R. 7. Titus, 237
West Fifty-seventh street" A portion
of the letter was also found, but its con
tents the police refused to make public.
The police advance the theory that the
man was murdered in the vicinity of Chi
cago and then boxed for shipment, but
that the principals, fearing discovery,
abandoned the plan and threw the case
into the alley while on the way to the rail-
way station.
Late this afternoon the body was identi-
fed as that of A. d. Barnes. custodian OF
the Hiawatha building at 258 Thirty
seventh street. The Identification was
made by an employe. Barnes was pro-
prietor of several news, book and fruit
stands. and had been recently divorced
from his wife, with whom he had had
much trouble. 9ssHSE

occasion De Lesseps performed services in
the cause of sufferers of all nationalities,
which subsequently won him numerous
decorations and many cordial expressions
of thanks from monarchS and govern
ments. He protested so theoretically to
Esparfera against the bombardment that
that officer deferred it for several days,
and when it finally began De Lesseps
spared neither personal expense nor
trouble in procuring transportation for
those desiring to leave the city, frequently
exposing his life in the service of the
fugltives.
He remained at Barcelona until the rev.
olution of IS4S placed Louis Napoleon at
the head of the French Government,
when he was transferred to Madrid as
Minister. He was relieved and sent to
Switzerland in February of the next year,
to make way for Prince Napoleon Joseph
Bonaparte. Three months later he was
dispatched to Italy to assist in restoring
order in the papal dominions. which were
considered to be threatened by a wave of
excessive liberalism. His own ideas lily
fitted him for performing the duties of his
delicate mission in accordance with the
ideas of his Government, though render
ing him fully in sympathy with the spirit
OF freedom which had made itself mani
fest in the papal states. The consequence
was that, being bound by no instructions
at all explicit, he construed his Govern
ment's intentions as literally as possible,
and stipulated, as one of the conditions of
the settlement he was endeavoring to
bring about, that the Roman people should
be allowed to choose their own form of
government This action resulted in his
being recalled in June. 1S49.

early. and it is no matter of surprise to
find him at the age Of 20 an attache of the
French legation at Lisbon, nor three
years later occupying the same position at
Tunis
When Algiers submitted to the French,
to De Lesseps was assigned the task of
securing the submission of the Bey of Con-
stantine. in which mission he was success
full. Shortly afterward. in the year 1881,
he was ordered to Egypt, where he re-
NAMED until 1889. during which time he
temporarily occupied the position of con-
sul-general at Alexandria three different
times. While there he was of great service
to the Christians in securing for them
the protection and countenance of Ibrahim
Pasha, and also lent his good Offices to-
ward reconciling the differences between
Mehemet Ali and the Sultan of Turkey.
He finally left Egypt to accept the posi-
ton of Consul at Malaga. remaining there
from 1889 until 1912, in the latter year

Utah TO drive out the Ute Indians, who
are pasturing ponies and cattle in San
Juan County, there will be a first-class

hold that the Indians have a right in that
country, and it is likely, should trouble
arise, that troops will be sent down from
Fort Logan to protect the Indians.

October, 1854. In November he was given
charter for ninety-nine years, which
charter was confirmed by the Porte a wear
later against the strenuous protest of the
Government of England. On January s.
1856, there was formed the Universal Com
pany of the Maritime Suez Canal. The
charter granted by Said Pasha carried with
it many privileges not set forth in it's

to pay no share of the cost of the construc
tion OF the canal, yet eventually the canal
was built with the gold of Egypt. The
Government OF Egypt was to have a share

deemed by lateral canals from the Bitter
Lakes to Rosario. and the Government of
Egypt built the lateral canals and paid for

out from Washington that the committee

committee to undertake to dictate to any
man what he should do.'

Just at this point new difficulty pre-
sented itself. 1t was discovered that
strong opposition to the project bad de-
veloped in the United States, based upon
international jealousy or what not. and
once more the diplomat came to his
true work. Early in 1880 De Lesseps
visited the United States. He formed
an auxiliary American company, offering
is presidency to the late General Grant
That shrewd Judge of human nature and
human projects refused to be drawn in,
having prejudice against vsionaries and
a prejudice in favor of the Nicaragua
route, and De Lesseps found in Thomp-
son, who had been in President Hayes
Cabinet as Secretary OF the Navy, a bait
for American dollars. Mr.. Thompson took
the presidency and the salary. holding both
until the final collapse, but the American
dollar was too wary for the Gaul. 1t
would not be caught and has never been
caught in Panama, though some Ameri-
cans of San Francisco took many dollars
out of the ditch. De Lesseps extended his
American tour to San Francisco, reaching
the city on March II, 1880, and remaining
several days. He was we'll received and

Commerce, but found here no subscribers
