PARIS, December 21.-The excitement
over the Panama canal scandal is to-day
greater than ever, and the widest re-
ports are afoat Of monarchist plots and
coming arrests Ii is asserted that Herr
aaS been in communication In London
with agents of the Count Of Paris, and
that the exposure Of the There cheeks
direcsly attributable to RoyaliSt intu-
nee. Another rumor is that the Off
ials and deputies, as we'll as civilians,
connected with the Panama scandal,
awe had it intimated TO them that their
Aviation lies in an espousal OF RoyaliSt
lchemes aud that all their offenses will
)e condoned II they will consent TO be-
ray the Republic.
Some confidence is placed by well in
formed people in both these TUmOrs
ard 1t is apparent that rOyalist agents
nave assumed an activity they had not
displayed for years and there is also
evidence that Royalist money is again
aaoat. Should affairs take turn fay-
orable 90 q coup d'etGt in behalf OF roy
ally it is probable, according TO current
report, that the Young Duke OF Orleans
would be selected 10 lead the attack.
The young Duke is more popular than
any other member Of bis family and his
offer 10 serve in the army as conscript
when he came OF age made a widely
favorable impression.
The great difficulty in the way OF
royalist coup is that there are no signs
Of disloyalty in the army. Nj. de Frey
cinet, the Minister Of War, is untouch-
cd blythe scandals that have besmirched
his colleague, Rouyier, aud he has the
devoted and loyal attachment Of the
generals in higher command. The mill
itary posts in the vicinity OF Paris are
kept under the strictest discipline and
the greatest vigilance is exercised to
prevent any tampering with the troops.
The officers Of the army are, as rule,
of republican sympathies, the roYalist
md BOnapartist elements, and especial
Y she former, having been relegated
ln various pretexts TO innoCuOuS posi-
lions. The government, it is said, has
90 doubt whatever of the fidelity
of the troops, aud would at once
call on the garrison of Paris In
case OF an outbreak on the part Of the
ROyaliSts. The zeal of the enemies OF
the republic is also checked by the re-
port made current unolficially, but not
doubted by anybody, that in the event
Of an insurrectiOn, martial law would
be at once proclaimed and every insur-
gent captured in arms, either shot on
the spot or executed after a sum-
mary court martial. 1t is known
that the officers OF the navy
are much more royaliSt in their
tendency than those of the army, but no
danger to the republic is expected from
the navy as it is believed that the Off
GERS in command, however ardently
some of them might welcome the re-
establishment Of monarchy, would hest
tate long before riSking the loss Of
their desirable positions. The move
ment of the mOnarchist sgitators are
being carefully watched by agents OF
the Government in France, in England
and in Spain, and a special Vatah ie ha
Ing kept at the passes OF the PyrenheS
for fear that royalist movement
might be attempted from that direction.
It's said every movement OF the count
of Paris, the Duke Of Orleans and 9TH
er members of the eXiled house mas
been reported accurately for more than
Two weeks past TO the Ministry OF the
IpteriOr and thence 10 President Car
not. At present the Monarehists seem
20 be directing their efforts chiefly TO
,anning the excitement among the De-
,nties and sowing the seeds OK jealousy
ear and suspicion. They are appar-
,ntlv confident that the breakdown of
he RfbOt Ministry would be followed
oy revolution, with all Its opportunities
Tor a return of the House OF Orleans TO
power.
The news from various parts OF France
snot very reassurlng to the Govern
pent and serves TO strengthen the
homes of it's enemies. The many thou
lands of small proprietors and others
Who lost their money in the Panama en-
.erDrise are said TO be more dlSgusted
with the revelations Of venality and
,reachery than they were distressed oy
the loss Of the money, and consider
able number of them are inclined 10
hold republican Institutions rather than
individuals responsible for the loss and
disgrace. The GGulOiS to-day publishes
an interview WIN NJ. AnuIleuA,'n "H1OH
that individual says that the Ten depu-
ties about to be prosecuted will almost
complete the list obtained from the
stubs OF the There checks.
senator Deves, ia an interview In the
Natil, says the course taken toward
him was q shameful attack on him; that
he had never mixed himself up in the
Panama affairs, and was confident OF
his ability to meet all charges. Others
OF the accused and their friends assert
that the government is prosecuting
some OF the accused on the most flimsY
evidence and with the hope of extract
ing. under examination, admissions that
would justify trial. N. Nlosso' who
Is implicated in the Panama accusa-
tions, has started for Cologne.
