Reilly, managing editor of the Pacific Coast’ Commercial Record, called at this office yesterday morning . : to make a statement in reference to the expose of the impositions practiced on real estate dealers and other citizens of Fresno by an alleged representative of his paper. He says that T. M. Emmerson, who is accused of the offence, is am impovtor. ‘We had a man named Guild at work down there,” said Mr. Reilly, “but he did not. give satisfaction and was recalled. Emmerson had at one time been in our employ, but he did not transact his business properly and over drew his accounts with us to such an extent{’ that he was discharged. It is evident that he knew Guild had been working at Fresno and slipped in there to carry on his swindles in our name when that gentleman quit. Emmerson came to us from the Journgl of Commerce bringing first-class récommendations, and we gave him employment for a short time. It did not take us long to ascertain his real character and bring the engagement to an end.” Mr. Reilly produced indisputable evi dence that there is such a paper as the Commercial Record, and he showed several copies of it which were well got up in reading matter and handsome typographically. He says he is meeting with good success in this county and will-get out a large special edition in the interest of the Bartlett pear belt, ‘ Valuable Papers Recovered.

They hed evidently been placed there quite recently by the thief when the latter discovered that they would be of no value tohim and feared that keeping them in his possession might lead to his detection and arrest. . Debate Between Young Ladies. Friday evening's meeting of the Young Chautauquans was held at the residence of John T, Morgan. The subject of debate was, ‘Resolved, That Woman is Not Fitted fora Business Life,” The affirmative speakers were Miuses Mamie Potter, Rachel Morgan and Myrtis Charles, those maintaining the opposition being Misses Edith Bradley, Madge Crawford and Frankie Power. The decision of the judge was that thé latter: had the best of the argrment.

For it seems today absolutely certain that the canal will never be completed. According to the figures given by De Lesseps himself the Panama Canal Company has taken out 42,500,000 cubic meters of earth and at the lowest estimate 40,000,000 meters of earth and rock remain to be removed, The ‘money received to date—almost entirely from the people of France— amounts to 1,060,000,000 francs ($212,000,000) and nearly every franc has been expended, “All except $18,600,000 paid for the railroad has gone into the abyss.
