H Z H I It De Lesiept Would Tell All He Knew The President of The French Republic Mlicbt Have to ccalgn Dome Damnlac Details. Paris, fan. 12. Today grave rumors arc afloat in regard to President Carnot. Several of the deputies who have been most earnest in pushing the Panama tnvestigatipn make no secret of declaring that they will not rest until Carnot is forced to resign. The strength of the case against the President depends upon the credibility of Baibaut, ex-Mininistcr of Public Works, and Carnot's friends claim that no force whatever should be attached to Baihaut's disclosure; that be is malicnant against Carnot for not having protected him from prosecution, and that be wishes to drag the President down with aim. On the other band, it is pointed out by the enemies of M. Carnot that Bai- hurt's charges agree with the facts as known, and tbat t-barles De Lessens would probably corroborate Baibaut if he were permitted to reveal all he could tell. What DeLesseps has already told is thus summarized He was the first of the defendant direc tors examined last week. He made a long statement first as to the organi zation of the Panama canal company, His father, he acknowledged, had sold his founders' shares in the canal, but not for the purpose of withdrawing his money from the enterprise. The presiding urjge questioned ai. ue Lessees as to the bogus petitions pre sented to the Chamber, ana tbc enor mous payments made by the company to syndicates which assisted in floating the loans. M. de Lesseps answered the questions as they were put. and then made this statement : "Much as I regretted it, hard necessity comDelled us to resort to such means to insure the success 01 our plans. 1 Be mil lions given to JM. Obendoerffer (the banker who received 2,000,000 francs lor giving the company the idea of a lot terv, loan and putting the idea in prac tice) were in payment for his suggestion of a simple plan relative to the bonds and constitution of the Societe Civile. It behooved us to humor such a great banker and 1 bad great dim culty in limiting the sum as narrowly as I did. We always distributed money when fresh issues were made so tbat we might avoid creating enemies on the Bourse. In resDonse to questions as to the re lations between Baron de Reinach and the Panama Canal company, M. de Les sens said: "Like all great bankers Baron de Kcin- ach was keen after profit. He was ex ceptional, however, in his willingness to risk bis capital lor tne purpose ot real i.ine the plan of the canal. He was the man who formed tne first societe tivue with his own capital, assisted by the name of M. Bonaparte Wyse. When I gave Baron de Reinach the money, I told bim to take out ot it wnatever re muneration he chose." This admission evoked loud murmurs of surprise and disapproval from the crowd in the court room. The presiding Judge repeated in a loud tone: you gave uaron ae Keinacn tue mon ey, and told nim to take out 01 it wnat ever remuneration he chose ?" "I did." "You handed him millions with per mission to put as much as ue wisned. in bis own pocket ?" bxactly. ue nrst demanded lo.uuu,- 000 francs. 1 refused to grant these ex cessive demands, and persisted in ray re fusal despite his acpeated threats.' Did you know to wbat uses uaron oc Reinach expected to put that part of the money which he did not retain as remun eration ?" I knew onlv that the nioncv was spent for the benefit of the canal." VYben the lottery bin bad been lata on the table, M. Baibaut asked for 1,000, 000 francs, to be paid to him in install ments between the introduction and tbc adoption ot the bill. Of this sum 275, 000 francs were paid to M, Haihaut. Then the bill was withdrawn and notb- more was paid to him." M. de Lesseps paused a moment alter giving tbis damning evidence against the ex-minister of public works. lo' body spoke or stirred. He looked fixedly at the tudges and added: "Unlv wben the knite was put to my throat did I pay this money. 1 was like a man giving up his watch to a high wayman." In conclusion. IVI. de Lessens said tbat the Panama directors were aware bow all the sums of which he had spoken bad been distributed. The Charleston Murderers Their Death. Chesti;rtovn, Md., Jan. 13. Con trary to wbat was generally expected, Cbestertown, outside the jail precincts, passed a quiet night. The streets of the town were almost entirely deserted ex cept by the posse summoned by the sheriff. These guards, in twos and threes, and armed with guns and'pistols dating from the flintlocks used iu the Revolution to the modern revolvers, pa trolled the streets all night and until the execution took place. Business during the morning was almost entirely sus pended, but the streets were crowded with sleighs filled with merry couples who did not seem to have a thought tor tne tour miserable wretches confined in the damp basement cells of the jail. 1 be scene at tbs county court notise, however, was quite different from that on the streets. The room in which the eight men were tried, condemned and sentenced was crowded with young ana old men armed with all kinds of wea pons. They had been summoned to defend the jail should an attempt be made to lynch the four prisoners. But no such attempt was made and the posre contented itself with telling what 11 would uo 11 a moo snouia appear. Shortly after eleven o'clock the mem bers of the posse inside the jail, a few re porters and the twenty witnesses allowed by the law crowded into the corridor where they were told by the sheriff to get reudv. The short march to the ecatlold began with Brooks first and Couregys next, followed bv William and Mose Brown On each side of the scaffold the men were placed in position, the nooses were ar ranged about their necks, the black caps pulled over their faces, the leers bound and tied, and at 12:30 the bar controlling the triggers slipped easily along the greased surface. There was a crash as the trap doors fell to theground, and the four negroes shot through the holes, r our of the murderers ot Dr. Hill had avenged their crime on the gallows DULUTII rOTEL ON FIRE SOME OF THE GUESTS MAY HAVE BEEN MOTHERED. BUNCOMB SYRUP OF TAR The Fire Was Still Burning; at Last Accounts, the Firemen Be ing creatly Hampered By the Extreme Cold Another Hotel Threatened. DixiTTii Minn., Jan. 13. The St. Louis, the oldest hostelry in the city. caught fire early this morning. The flames spread with great rapidity and in a very short time the entire building was completely filled with smoke. Many guests were removed in their night clothing in a half smot hered condition and it is thought a number were smoth ered in their rooms. The mercury is considerably below zero and the firemen arc working at great disadvantage. The newly opened hotel Urichton is in the same block, and it is feared that, unless the tire is quickly gotten under control, it may destroved. also be A. E. STEVENSON. DID II VANS WRITE THIS ? It Reads LlUe Some of His Best Work. San Francisco, Cal. Jan. 13. A Can ton correspondent sends this account of a terrible disaster in a country town about fifty miles from Canton, which oc curred early last month and resulted in the loss of nearly 2,000 lives. A band of robbers made a raid on the village of Kamli, in the Sbin-Bing dis trict. They first levied a tribute on the priest q) the temple. The latter had just received large offerings from the people who were having. a dramatic en tertainment under a shed temporarily erected in front of the temple. The rob bers applied torches to this shed and the people in a panic rushed into the tern pie for refuge. The main entrance of the temple, which was of wood, caught fire lrom the burning shed, and over 1,400 men, women and children were either burned, smothered or trampled to death Most of the fatalities resulted trom'suiVo- cation, as a strong wind drovethe smoke into the temple.

Stevenson and Uwing, his law partner, reached Nashville from St. Louis yesterday morning. They were met at the depot by Col. L). B. Cooper and were taken to his home, where they spent the day meeting a number ot prominent cit izens. Last night Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Ewine were the guests of the Ladies' Hermitage Association and guests 01 honor at the annual Jackson ball and re ception given under the patronage of this association commemorative ot tne battle of New Orleans.

Trouble Expected In a Tennessee Town. Jackson, Tenn., Jan. 13. At Greenfield Tenn., a few nights ago two negroes went to the farm house of Mrs. Jones, widow, and attempted to outrage her, The woman recognized one of the negroes and told the neighbors. The next night a body of masked men went to the house of the negro, who greeted them with shots from a revolver. The mob then riddled the house with bullets. The neirro was shot in the throat, but es caped, but in the morning he was caught and whipped almost to deatu. looay the iitfcroes have been buying guns aud ammunition and nearly every negro in the neighborhood has quit work.

A joint caucus c the Republican members of the Pennsylvania Legislature will be held January 17, and M. S. (Juay will, with out doubt, be renominated for I'nitcd States Senator. There are not more than a dozen Republican members in the Leg islature who have the independence to oppose him, and bis lieutenants will run things to suit themselves. Maior George B. Orlandy, of Hunting don, a prominent Republican and an anti-Ouayite, was here today and de nounced the action of the Republican House in admitting Ouay's lieutenant, William H. Andrws, to a seat in that body wben his Democrat opponent had been elected. "The Republican partv," said l.c, "should beware.

If any one is under the impression tbat exhibits are arriving at the World's Fair grounds "by the train load every day," as Director-Gen eral Davis recently declared, a glance at the books oi the railroad and customs departments will rid bim of the delusion. There are no train loads, and, wbat is worse, there is very little prospect ot any at present. The department chiefs blame a great deal of the delay on intending exhibitors. The Chicagoans are sending out circu tars urging the exhibitors to commence installation at once, but tne latter are now displaying; a little of the obduracy tbat has hitherto characterized the World's Fair management. Exhibitors declare tbat their goods are too perish able to be forwarded at once, and tbat nickel and plated machines will tarnish, tbat silk goods will fade and tbat cereals will lose their freshness. As April 1 is the last day on which exhibits will be received, the seriousness of the situation can be realized. MeComas' Nomlnstlou. Washington, Ian. 9.

Hkluna, Jan. 13. Three days ago ex-Governor Hanser, one of the Pemo cratic senatorial aspirants, said he would not allow his personal ambition to stand in the way of Democratic success in tbc senatorial contest. Last night he proved his loyalty by having his followers go into caucus with the Clarke men, making twenty seven all told. 1 ne nrst ballot gave Clarke h majority, and then Hansey's lieutenant, acting under his instructions withdrew bis name. Clarke was made the unanimous choice of the caucus There were eight absentees, all followers of Marcus Dalev. Just what Daley and his men will do now it is too soon to know. Dalev left Helena yesterday for Anaconda. Democrats Hold tbe Key. Olympia. Wash.. Jan. 13. C. VY. Griggs, of Tacoma, received the Demo cratic caucus appointment for United States Senator last night. The Demo crats say they will dictate the election of a senator, as the situation at present is virtually controlled by them. Tbe Allen and Turner forces are still firm and in the event of their refusal to eo into caucus there will be a deadlock unless tbe Democrats take part. The ballot occurs Tuesday. Hit uel tbe Worst of It. Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 13. The decis ion of the Republican members of the Legislature to hold no caucus if said to insure the defeat of Senator Casey.
