GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF M. DE LESSEPS

ings taken against de Lesseps, his son Charles and two co-workers, Fontane and cottu.
 Charles de I.esseps. in order to protect his aged father tried to divert the storm upon his own head. He managed to draw down upon himself all the burden of the condemnation pronounced. One of the consequences of the prosecutions. of which he was the object. was to obige him to spend three years, from 1896 to 1899, in England.
 The French had spent in all about $26O,- 000000 and sacrificed about 2000 French lives before they drew their fires from their dredges, left their steam shovels in the jungle and turned the task over to the United States. Out of the<sum expended the contractors and others had reaped a rich reward at the expense of the poor people of France.
 De Lesseps was fiercely attscked on all sides on account of the woeful exhibit that came with the breaking of light into the project. Tens of thousands of people who had trusted in him were ruined De Lesseps, his son, Fontane, Cottu and Eifel were indicted, in effect, for swindling and bribing legislators. De Lesseps was too feeble to be dragged from his retreat at La Chesnaye and every reference of the case was studiously kept from him.
 When he became suspicious because the newspapers were not given to him to read, the family hit upon the plan of furnishing him every day with papers just year old. So he pr6bably never knew that he was accused of fraud, convicted in February, 1892, and sentenced to fivef years in prison and to pay a fine of $500. His son Charles, who had like sentence, was released from prison after serving sentence of six months of his term, but the count was not put in prison. France hesitated about thus diminishing the lus- ter of one of her most glorious names and found an excuse in the infrmities of a man SS years old.
 The last three years of de Lesseps' life presented him pitiable mental and phys- i. cal wreck, his faculties gradually failing until the end came. He was confined toN his room for over a year before he died, The famous Panama canal conspiracy trial lasted from January [, 1892, to March 21 of the same year, and many others of the conspirators were given sentences of from two to five years

especial interest at the present ' time, with the Panama canal so nearly completed is the ill., starred attempt to ditch the isthmus be- gun by Ferdinand de Lesseps in 1881, his failure and subsequent trial and convic- tion In 1876 de Lesseps with the glory or having dug the Suez canal still untar- nished, became interested in the Panania situation. He and his friends had so far agitated the question favorably that in 1879 congress assembled in the rooms of the Geographical society at Paris, under the presidency of Admiral de la Ronciere le Noury, which voted in favor of digging the canal.
 De LessepS was chosen to head the pro- ject. He was "A years old at the time Politics. which de Lesseps always avoid ed, was his greatest enemy in this matter. Capital for the construction of the canal was liberally provided. not by rich French men. but by the middle classes The French press grew more and more san guine and people rushed with their money into what they supposed was going to be very profitable enterprise.
 Little by little, reluctantly acknowledge ing the task greater than he expected, M de Lesseps kept calling for new support and, in some way or other, kept getting it. He continued to color the Panama horizon a roseate hue, but it, was sunset and not sunrise.
 At the end of 1888 night fell upon the hopes of the-uupes, while day broke upon their senses. Panama was satally ma laiial the cost of excavation was greater than was supposed. Gross mismanage- ment marked every turn. Interest was paid out of the capital stock. Locomo- tives ordered from Belgium were of the wrong gauge and could be seen rusting by the railroad tracks. Worse was the unparalleled corruption resorted to by the desperate directors to keep the facts from publicity, endeavors which eventually failed. The populace of Paris was furious at the cumulative revelations.
 over 100 members of the French National legislature were smirched, five ex-minis- ters being among those arrested Enemies of the French republic, seeking for scandal that would imeperil the govern ment, forced the prosecution of the direc- tors.

HAITI
From the Hartford Times.

From the ftartIOfu 1lines
 Haiti, as the safe of Fairview once said of Naugatuck has gone to hell many times. Once more won't hurt her.
 It seems apparent, however. that the administration regards the present revo- lutionary upheaval in the black republic as of serious consequence. Perhaps it is so regarded because the establishment in the regular Haitian fashion of new Haitian government has possibilities of proving very embarrassing to Washing ton which has proclaimed it's determina- tion that governments in this hemisphere must be formed upon law and order. Haiti usually changes administrations by the simple process of shooting the one which exists and sending in another to be shot later.
