 "Hypocrites and Scoundrels" at the
 Ministerial Benches.
 PARIS Dec. 22.-In the Senate the spec ial committee chosen by the standing com mittees reported in favor of authorizing
 the Procureur General to proceed against
 Senators Renault, Albert Grevy, Beral,
 Thevenet and Deves, on account of their connection with the Panama Canal frauds
 M. Thevenet, who is eX-Minister of Jus
 tice, solemnly affirmed that he had never received centime from the Panama Ca nal company, either directly or indi- rectly.
 The Parliamentary Commission of In quiry has learned that bond for 500, ,000 francs, payable to bearer, was given to Dr. Cornelius Herz as compensation for his services in ''advertising" Provost Delaunay advised the inyesti- gating commission to summon and ex- anime the men who had been Ministers of
 the Interior in recent years. They, he said, knew everything about the Canal frauds.
 The commission decided to examine M Yves -Guyot, Radical Deputy for the Seine, to learn whether or not he had said re- gently that a list of the compromised members of Parliament had been sub mitted to President Carnot. This is the first official mention of President Carnot's name in direct con- nection with the scandal. Many believe that secret and hostile motive is respon- sible for the introduction. It is said that evn~v movement of the Count of Paris, t-4u luke of Orleans, and other members of the exiled house has been reported accurately for more than | two weeks past to the Ministry of the h. | terior, and thence to President Carnot. At present the Monarchists seem to be directing their efforts chiefly to flaming the excitement among the Deputies, and | sowing the seeds of jealousy, fear and suspicion. They are apparently confident that the breakdown of the Ribot Ministry would | be followed by revolution. with all it's op- Orleans to power.
 The news from various parts of France | is not reassuring to the government and | serves to strengthen the hopes of it's en G. mics.
 The many thousand of small proprie- l tors and others who lost their money in \ the Panama enterprise are said to be more \ disgusted with the revelations of venality ! and threachery than they were distressed l by the loss of the money, and consider | able number of them are inclined to hold | Republican institutions, rather than in l dividuals responsible for the loss and | disgrace.
 Immediately after the opening of the l Chamber of Deputies NJ. Jules Roche, eX. 1 Minister of Commerce, whom the Procur
 eur General yves authorized to prosecute ' for sustaining corrupt relations with the Panama company, ascended the speaker $ l tribune to make his defense. He was laboring under intense excite
 ment, and swung his arms violently as
 he walked up the aisle. As he passed the
 Ministerial bench, he faced about sudden l ly, and eXclaimed:
 | ''Oh, you hypocrites and scoundrels?' | Several of the members retorted hotly
 In the confusion of the House the incident
 was noticed only by Deputies on the front
 benches. As he began his defense M Roche's voice was sharp and unsteady and from beginning to end his manne | was nervous and strained He said he diC \ not know what enemies he had to face
 nor did he care, for his conscience wa
 clear He had nothing with which to re
 proach himself His most Venemou
 enemy could not connect him with tn,
 lottery bond affair, as he did not ever
 vote for the bill. He denounced the Pro
 cureur General for proceeding agains
 Deputies on insufficient evidence, and de
 clared that in his case, at least, thi
 gentleman would be found to be sadly il
 error.
 While passing back ts his seat NJ. Koch
 received many congratulations from fel | low members.
 It is stated that 100 checks, bearin the names of Senators and Deputies
 have been secured by the exaIninin ) magistrates.
