had demanded 1,000,000 francs for the in'
troducUon of the lottery bill lu the cham

down. M, de LetMeD. said it was a case of
extortion rather than corruption. Ilia fre
quent reference to "the desires of the rov-
trnment" were Bpceuuy cueckea. i'n-
ceedlnir he nald:
"I explained to M. de Freyclnet that the
question was one of extortion, i una mm
that pressure was being exercised con
jointly by Hera and Belnach.who was try1
lnc to make me nar debts not my own."
"Then you mentioned Ai. tierz to au ae-

I did."
"DuC hum one that M. de Freyclnet dis
putes thlaf"
"He may dispute it, but that will not
prove that I am not speaking tue truiu.
As the result of my twit to M. de Frey
clnet I did what I had previously refused
to do, and raised my offer to Baron de
Iteinacu from s.uw.uw to tuw,vw trancs,
which he accepted,"
"You tneauloBay.tuen.thut your visit to
M. de Freyclnet caused you to decide upon
asking the payment."
"Exactly, I resisted at tlrnt, but alter
my talk with M, de Freyclnet I considered
It my duty to give way. M, Clemenceau
also beuued me to visit him, aud suoke to
me asuld Al. de, X reycinet about tbe ne
cesItyof having no open rupture with
Huron de Heiuach. Subsequently M. Flo-
quet said to me: Vhy do you not pay
that money to Baron de Retnach? If I
were you I would do so and so' advising
me to accede to Reinaoh's demands. They
Were very polite about the matter; they
did not take me by the nape of the neck
hut they all tmiu about the same tmng as
to the necessity of granting HeiuacU's do-

M. de Less.eps denied that he knew that
uny of tbe money paid out by him to llarou
de Iteinach was to be u&ed In bribing the

De Irffweps was apparently frank and.
was plucky even to the point of insolence

To Abotlth Jury Commissioner!
Ily a remarkable coincidence Mr.
Cessna reported from the judiciary
general committee la the house at
Harrlsburg ou Monday night, a bill
repealing ati act which he had drawn
aud of which he secured the passage
immediately after the close of the war.
The bill Is the oue abolishing jury
commissioners in the state. Mr. Cessna
was accorded unanimous permission
to make a personal statement. He ex
plained that he had introduced the
jury commissioner act because the
selection of jurors had come to be
considered a partisan adrautage. Since
then, under the new constitution, there
had been given minority represents
tion ou the boards of county commis
sioners aud the reason for tbe jury
commissioners no longer existed. The
new law will transfer ihe duties of
jury commissioners to the county com
mUstoners.
