III. hllleVoye, continued the premier, us
attempting TO bring to trial not individuals
but the republican institutions of France.
His attack was directed not against
the cabinet or against those per-
sons charged with corruption. but
against the national institutions which had
been built up by the labor aud self-sacriflce
OF devoted patriots. The plotters against
the republic should not delude themselves
With the idea that dissolution would accom-
plish their ends, for the people knew their
enemies and the masks of their enemies
Honesty in politics above sll,n l say,
Premier Ribot called out as he turned to
face the right, but no liberation OF the
men who conspire 20 ruin our republic. The
whole machinery OF the Law has been set in
motion TO punish the guilty. Can you not
wait for the verdictw Prolonged cheers. !
Premier Ribot continued "1he present
government will not allow itself to be dis
turbed or intimidated." The applause with
which this statement was received
was stilled suddenly by NJ. Deroude,
who sprang to his feet and waving
his right arm above his head shouted:
Down with the parliamentary system"
After the president had restored order by
repeated appeals to the deputies, Premier
Ribot concluded his defense with the words:
"Those who fiatter themselves that there is
no government in France are deluded, and
not hesitate to prove IL. The government
is prepared to defend the republic" After
another speech from NJ. Deroulde and fur
ther denial and protest from Premier Ribot,
M. Millevoye's motion of mo confidence"
was put, and was lost bv q vote Of 1853 TO
81. Tremendous cheering aud applause
from the left followed the announcement
of the result.
APLor AGAINST THE REPUBLIC.
The ministry have evidence, 1t is reported,
chat the present attack on the government
is part OF an organized plan for the over
throw of the republic, and that each step
taken is carefully discussed in advance by
the plotters against the constitution. The
ministers are also convinced that the only
way to meet the crisis ia to throw the whole
of the Panama scandal, as rapidly as the
facts are developed, open before the public
and 10 maintain only such reserve as
may be necessary for proper
management of the judicial prOse-
cutions. President Carnot has not
exactly said: let no guilty man escape"
but he has substantially declared that no
guilty man shall be shielded from justice by
any action on the part of the government,
and all the powers of the government will
be exercised to bring the lAw-breRkers to
punishment. M. Ribot understands the
purpose Of the president and whatever may
have been his views on the subject in the
Loubet cabinet, he is now committed with
out reserve to the policy of thorough ex-
posure and rigid prosecution.
SOCIALISTS PLEASED.
The severe treatment of Charles de Les
seps and his fellow prisoners has aroused in-
dignation only among the friends and others
who have fellow feeling for the accused.
Among the multitude it has had the effect
of making the government popular. The
extreme socialists, who form such large
proportion of the population of Paris, hailed
with pleasure this humiliation to the level OF
the low and degraded criminals of such rep
resentatives of the Bourgeoisists as Charles
de Lesseps and IL. Fontane, and the fact that
the government has not deigned any answer
to those who criticise its refusal TO recog-
nize distinctions between criminals, has
tended more than ever to crafty the lower
classes, who have in the past been preju-
diced against the republic. Besides, the
socialists and other extremists do not like
the activity of the supporters Of the old
regimes, imperial and monarchical. II rev-
olution is to come. they do not want re-
dictionary revolution, and between
on the one side, and the
republic on the other, the lower GLASSES are
for the latter. This sentiment is making
itself felt among the deputies and it 10 be-
ueved that when the chamber reassembles
after Christmas the ministry will have
energetic support from some of the ex-
tremists who have hitherto been either luke
warm or hostile. 1t is suggested on usually
well informed authority that the ministry
will have some revelations to make In regard
to the course of the enemies Of the republic
that will divert attention, In some degree,
from the Panama scandal
The revelations from America concerns
ing the character of N. Herr, who was con-
nected with Baron Reinach, do not cause
surprise. The only surprise is that a man
as shrewd as Baron Reinach and as noted
for quick wit in judging OF men should have
had any transactions with such peculiar
character as NJ. Herr. The impression pre-
walls that M. Herr got possession OF some of
the Panama secrets aud used them to the
best possible advantage.
SENATORS TO BE PROSECUTED.
In the Senate to-day the special COM
mitUee's report in favor OF authorizing the
procureur general TO proceed against Sena-
tors Rensult, Beral, Thevenet, Deve and
Albert Grevy was adopted aud the requisite
permission was granted.
The Panama canal Investigating conn.,
mittee continued its inquiry to-day. Depu-
witnesses, confirmed the statement
that NJ. Yves Guyot, formerly
minister Of public works, had said that
President Carnot had seen o full list of the
names Of the men compromised in the
scandal. The witnesses declared that M.
Constance had given to the president q list
OF 100 deputies who were implicated.
La France says that several deputies in
tend TO urge upon President Carnot the
necessity Of dissolution also that ex-P Prefect
Audrieux has communicated to Franque-
vile, examining magistrate, the names of
104 deputies and high personages, of whom
he spoke before the parliamentary commits
sion yesterday as recipients Of money from
the Panama canal corruption funds.
The subcommittee of the Panama investi-
eating commission seized this afternoon, at
the Office of the Panama Canal Company,
1900 counterfeits OF bonds "paynbls to
bearer The commission will meet daily
during the Christmas holidays.
ANARCHIST oUTRAGEs FEARED.
Much apprehension is felt that the an
archists Of this city are about to take ad-
vantage Of the prevalent Generalization to
repeat the outrages Of last March. Within
the last week 1000 agitators who fed to
England at the time Of Ravachors capture,
have returned. TIE police have been
able to find but two of them,
as the anarchist colony has
taken pains 10 keep the men In hiding. The
two men discovered were arrested last
night. The police deny all knowledge of
the arrests, however, as they have been
