The question has been asked, “What rea son have the independents for desiv turn out these republicans?” The answer s to be found in the sena- | torial situation. The independents have be- | come convinced that it is the intention of the corporations to do allin their power to make Crounse senator in order to get him | out of the gubernatorial chair, and put in his place their preferred candidate, | the present leutenant governor, The | populists are determined to prevent this, as | they sec in it the certain destruction of all | that they have hope to achieve. They have made up theiv minds that the only hope that is left them Is to keep Crounse in the exeou- tive office, and they will assist in ousting the seven Douglas county republicans in the | house as 4 means to that end.

Advocate Rau Continues His De- nunciation of the Canal Swindlers. Panrs, Jan, 18,.—Advocate General Rau, at the Panama trial, continued his address today against the accused directors of the Panama canal enterprise. He said that the defendants could not find shelter under the law of preseription, as theoffenses charged had been committed within the past three years, although originating earlier. The issuc of the lottery wasa swindle, the r ports published contained inaccurate figures intended to mislead the public, and fraudu- lent underwriting syndicates were formed, for all of which Ferdinand de Lesseps and the others accused were equally responsible Eifel was an accomplice in the frauds, he receiving money well knowing that it was part of the proceeds of the swindle, The advocate general, continuing, d that the hand of the defendants was mani > through the maneuver to which they re- sorted. Both Ferdinand and Charles de Lesseps had made a tour through the provinces with. the object of reviving tho ardor of the subscribers to the Panama en- terprise. and with that purpose they made statements full of lying promises to their hearcers. Eiffel, through trust, had obtained nearly 25,000,000 fi Eiffel’s contract with the Panama company had been absolutely valueless so far as any results in work were concerned. Since that contract Eiffel had executed scarcely any portion of the work; he had supp! hardly any material; he had simply embezzled the compuny’s funds. In conclusion, the advo- cate gene: demanded severe punishment for the men, who, in order to attract capi tal, had recourse to every kind of tricks and fraud. A fine would not be sufficient pun ishment: justice demanded that such crimes should be severely repressed. Parllamentary Tnquiry. The first witness before the parliamentary commission of inquiry today was M. Stephene a clerk in the service of Baron de Reinach’s partner, M. Propper. He said that Baron de Reinach had left him_a list of the persons compromised in the distribution of Panama mone Among the names on the list were Devy Roche, Du- Gue, de la Foucan- nier, Rouvier, Flogu: Proust, Renault, Barbe, Ber: nd Thevenet.

A hammerless revolver was pro- duced and identified as the one the witness got on the evening of the 15th of Junuary last. Mrs. Mason said that was the one she used to kill Cole.

He AW it about 6 o'clock in the morning ufter Cole's body was discovered, when Mason returned it, asking if anyone knew he had it. Two persons did, Diffenbaugh's brother and a hired man. Last Monday he had another talic with Mason in the cattle yard of the witness, on the farm, three and a half miles from town. Mason then inquired if he haa the revolver still, saving that he did not want the fact of its being borrowed_kuown, orit might make him trouble. When the revolver was returned August 8, it was | empty, but looked as if it had been recently { fired. On the inside * the barrel at the muzzle was something which looked like blood. He ealled his brother to examine the stain. Mr. Boyd took the gun on Sunday evening last. On_cross-examination, hie had borrowed the revolver times, the last occasion being shortly before a trip he made to the Platte. The defense questioned the witness with a view of show- ing that the weapon was obtained by methods which &cared him, but he didu's seem to be very certain just how scared he was. Lyman Deffenbaugh corroborated his brother's testimony. Mason, when he v turned the revolver, said that he had flr off all the loads ou the road to the Platte, Here the stato rested, Bound Over Withoat Ball, The defense cvidently did not wish to oute tine their plan of campaign, and called no witnesses, The caso was then submitted to the court without argument.
