PARIS, Dec. 23.-At the cabinet
council held in the Elysee today 1t was
resolved that the government would
accord acquiesence to full and unre.
stricted debate in Millevoy's inter.
pellation regarding the alleged USE of
money advanced by the Panama Canal
company as service for the govern.
ment. The cabinet is fully aware that
the motion is offered in spirit of
hostility to the administration if not
to the republic itself, but President
Carnot has given his fiat that no one
must be spared against whom there is,
evidence Of guilty completely in the
Panama frauds, and that the govern.
ment must welcome a searching in.
vestigation. The ministry have evi.
dence, 1t is reported, that the present
attack on the government is part of
plan for overthrow of the republic
and each step taken is carefully dis
cussed in advance by the plotters
against the constitution. The min
listers are also convinced that the only
way to meet the crisis is to throw the
whola Panama scandal as rapidly as
the facts open, before the public and
to maintain only such reserve as may
be necessary for the proper manage
ment of the prosecution. President
CarnOt has not said exactly that no
guilty man escapes, but he has sub
stantially declared that no guilty
man shall be shielded from Justice by
any act of parliament and that all the
powers of the government shall be
exercised to bring the law breakers
to punishment.
STORMY SCENE IN THE CHAMBER.
PARIS, Dec. 23.-The scene in the
chamber of deputies today when Mil
levoye interpellated the ministry re.
garding advances of money by the
Panama canal company was of the
most stormy character. Millevoye
said he desired to question the gov
eminent as to the facts in it's posses
sion relating to the use of the contri
. buttons by a former premier from the
Panama company, whose corrupt ano
criminal operations are being investi
gated. Ribot in behalf of the govern
ment accepted an immediate discus
sion of the subject. President Flo
uuett thereupon vacated the chair
Peytral taking mis- place and ascend

exculpation. He reiterated with en-
phasis that, while a member OF min
istry has never received money iron
the Panama company for any purpos
whatever and denied any imprope
insertion of paid political advertise
ments in the press.
