CONFIDENCE IN RIBOT Vote Passed by the French Senate This Afternoon, WAR ON THE JERSEY RACING MEN. Meeting of the Pennsylvania Rail- road Stockholders. —— COAL RATES LOWERED. WHO WERE ON THE LIST? Charles De Lesseps Urged to Disclose What Deputies Received Bribes. Panis, March 14.—The court of assizes was again crowded today when the trial of Baibaut and his fellow defendants was resumed. The audience included a num- ber of prominent men whose names have .been mentioned in connection with Tush as on the previous day of the lower classes of society to obtain admission, The ef- fect of the vote of confidence of the chamber of deputies yesterday was plainly visible in the less satisfied air of the enemies of the govern- | ment. The defendants themselves looked worn | and fatigued by the strain and anxiety from the At the opening M. Barboux protested against what he called the erroneoas coantruction hich had been placed upon M. Goliard’s evidence in | statements made the previous day from the | tribune in the chamber of deputies. He said | also that the imputation that Mranuase Goteas | evidence had been concocted previously was false and caluminous. ‘The name of M. Yves-Guyot, radical deputy for the Seine, who ix alleged to have been the source of the report that M. Constans had communicated the list of implicated deputies | to President Carnot, was called, but M. Yves- Guyot did not make his appearance. CONSTANS DENIES. M. Constans, the former minister of the in- terior, was called to the stand, and the audience craned their necks to listen to his statement. M. Constans spoke clearly and firmly. He denied in emphatic language the alleged as- sertion of M. Yves-Guyot to the effect that he (Constans) had handed to President Carnot | alist of deputies implicated in the alleged bribery and corruption connected with the Panama lottery bonds bill. He had never, he declared, posensed such alist. This ended the brief examination of M. Constans. Ex-Deputy Sans-Leroy was again summoned as to his excuse for depositing a large sum of money ut the time he was charged with having received @ similar amount for changing his vote in committee on the lottery bonds Dill. Sans-Leroy repented at length his previous story to the effect that the money was part of his wife's dowery and that he w merely changing the investment of the amount Lyonnaise of 100,090 francs in April, 1888, He produced documents intended to corroborate | of a reinvestment of his wife's dowery of 200,000 | francs, . The advocate general observed that the docu- ments entered by Sans-Leroy had no bearing ‘on the case. M. Sans-Leroy vehemently protested against the statement of the advocate general. Lieut. Lucien N. Bonaparte Wyse, the French engineer promimently 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 eighteen months ago that the directors of the Panama Canal Com- pany had handed him a sealed paper. DE LESSEPS CAUSES A SENSATION. Charles De Lesseps hastily arose and denied j this statement. He said he had given M. Monchicourt 4 full account of all expenditures ‘excepting 1,400,000, franca, the emplovment of which he had ‘fuily and cangidly explained t0 the examining magistrate, QM. Franqueville. | This declaration of "M. De’ Lessors caused | Sensation, and the spectators could be heard | discussing the revelation in loud whispers, |" ‘The presiding judge intimated. that unless | M. Monchicourt could testify before the close | of the hearing his deposition we ARGUMENT BEG! The hearing of witnesses being concluded, | M. Boulay, one of the counsel for the prosecu- | tion, then addressed the court, his argument | Boulay aljured the destination | the money paid to Reinach and to Arton and to | divulge the tenor of the treaty betwecn* | nelius Herz and the Panama Canal | M. Boulay condemned the conduct of Soinoury, | late chief of the detective department, toward | the virtuous and heroic Madame Cottn, |and he concluded by appeating to Charles De Lesseps in his own interest and in the interest of the public to divuige the names of the 104 | deputies on the famous list of bribe takers. —_ TH THE WAR 0: GAMBLERS.

Pumapexrnta, March 14.—Outside of the manifold objections made by W. E. Lock- wood to everything in general and to the management in particular the forty-sixth annual meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in Musical Fund Hall this morning was featureless. It began at llo'clock and ad- journed fifty-two minutes later, but during that period Stockholder Lockwood, who said he represented English and American shareholders, was on his feet almost con- tinuously.

Sr. Lovis, March 14.—Shortly after mid night Henry Kaiser and Jacob Holz, two toughs, aged twenty-four and twenty-three | years, respectively, were arrested, charged with the murder of E. E.
