highly indignant over the action of the Sta.e
Board of Canyassers declaring two Repub-

There is Involved Grave Question of
Constitutional Law Growing Out
of the Panama Scandal.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

PARIS, Dec. 3-The present crisis is not
merely political, but is one in which great
constitutional question is at stake. The
Panama canal investigation committee
shows disposition to overstep its constitu-
tional rights, and the refusal of Public
Prosecutor Beaurepaire TO give up docu-
ments to be used in the investigation is ap-
proved by all who have not lost their cad 3
over the Panama canal affair. Had NJ
Brisson, as the head of the committee of
investiga alton, been successful in forming a
Cabinet his success would have been in
terpreted as an acceptance by the Deputies
OF the committees of an Illegal policy the
result OF which it would have been impossi-
bic to foresee. The general apprehen sion
OF the event is magDified by the pretension
OF the committee in aiming at establishing
itself into sort Of committee Of public
safety with despotic power.
The news of Caslmir Perer's failure TO
form Cabinet has been received with gen.
eral regret Pres ident Carnot tonight sent
for NJ. Bourgeois and asked him TO make an
effort to form a Ministry. Nj. Bourgeois
decision is not yet announced. II he refuses
or fails in the attempt NM. Defreyoinet
and Iirard are the next favorites.
The Municipal Council of Paris has
adopted resolution demanding that severe
penalties be imposed upon all Deputies who
accepted bribes.
Charles de Lesspes has written 10 Le
Jour denying the truth Of certain state
ments made by NJ. Cantagrel. at yesterdays
examination. NJ. Cantagrel testified that
an employe of the Panama Canal Company
offered him first 100.0 600 francs, then 200. coo
francs and finally 500. 900 francs if he would
vote for the Panama Canal lottery bill.
The names of the payees of the
three checks leaked out through
Cornelius Herr. well-known Partisan,
now In London. who received two checks,
each for 100000 francs. He telegraphed
to the committee to inquire II his checks had
been received from Baron Reinach in pay
ment of The debt. NJ. Chabert received
3,350,000 francs, Senator Renault received
10000 francs and Albert Greyy, son of
the ex-President, received 10000 francs.
The other payees are practically un-
known, and the names are given-like that
OF Bank Porter Davoust. who is credited
with receiving check for 100000 francs
being. 1t is supposed. merely checks to cover
the identity OF the actual recipients.
Senator Renault. in testifying before the
committee this aftern DON, explained that
the checks bearing his name were received
in payment of a debt.

SHARP CANADIANS
An Attempt to Outwit Sec
retary Foster.
THEY STOLE HIS CASE.
How the Negotiations for the Settle
ment of the Bering Sea Trouble
Were Nearly Broken Off.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Dec. st was learned to
night that within a very recent period the
negotiations between the State Department
and Great Britain, on the Bering Sea differ
ences, were very nearly terminated by Sec
retary OF State Foster on his discovery that
an exceedingly questionable stratagem had
been employed by Canada in her represen-
tati0n of her case.
According 10 the treaty providing foE
the settlement of the pending dispute by
arbitration, both parties 10 the case were
mutually to exchange their statement oil
claims on September 1. 1t was further pre-
yided that within the next sixty days there.
after the counter-cases or replies to the re-
spectve statements and arguments were
to be exchanged.
Not long ago Secretary Foster notified Sir
Julian Pauncefote. the British Minister,
that the United States had prepared it's
counter-case and was ready to submit the
same as soon as Canada would transmit It's
own. After brief delay Sir Julian notified
the State Department that Canada too
was ready. and accordingly the counter
eases were exchanged. Secretary Foster
was amazed upon reading the couuter-cases
of the Canadian Government to recognize
that there was an evident intention on tha
pai VI tHe DUmluIUH 10 UuLWlt LQ6 u nlt6u
| States.
Shortly after Canada's eounter-case had
been submitted Mr.. Foster was notified by
Sir Julian that the Canadian authorities,
avalling themselves of the fact that the
sixty days within which both Governments
were to exchange documents had not ex-
pired. proposed to submit additional argu-
ments. Mr.. Foster Immediately recognized
that the entire purpose of the Canadians in
presenting their counter-case had been TO
obtain possession of the case OF the United
States, which Mr.. Foster had in go1d faith
submitted in its entirety
Having thus given his entire case to tho
Canadians. they we're. in position to an
swer all his claims. while be was powerless
to reply. lie expressed bis Indignation to
Sir Julian Pauncefete in diplomatic but
unmistakable terms.
For several days the cables we're kept
busy by Sir Julian IN communicating with
his Government. and 1t looked as though all
negotiations were to be abruptly broken
OF. At last, however, an understanding
was reached by which the submission of the
counter-eases has been extended sixty days.
Each Government has withdrawn its
counter-case, and each being now In full
possession of the various claims and argu-
ments advanced by the other, the revised
counter-cases will present the position of
each Government in its strongest pOssibls
light.

FLAGS AT HALF-MAST.
Outward Symbols of Respect for the
Dead

New YORK. Dec. 3.-The flags on all the
hotels in the neighborhood of the Gould
residence are at half-mast to-day and all
the engines on the elevated roads and tho
western Union building are draped in
black. The directors of the Western Union
met this morning. adopted and placed on
record statement setting forth the salient
features in his life and the points which
contributed to his success The central
point was that he had full faith in the de-
velopment of this country and risked every
thing on his judgment. Instead of invest
Ing his money In lands and buildings, and
idly taking the proceeds. he put 1t into
properties which required his great energies
to develop. His industries gave employ
ment to more than 100000 men, and his
enterprises contributed more largely to the
development and opening of the Western
and Southwestern country. The statement
further records his modest demeanor in the
exercise of almost unlimited power, the
warmth and steadiness of his friendship,
the model character of his parental aud do
nestle virtues. and his deeds of disinterested
generosity. The directors of the Missouri
Pacific and Manhattan Elevated roads also
met and passed appropriate resolutions.

LEO STANDS FIR1.
He Is the Friend of France as Against
Germany.

ROME, Dec. 3.-Diplomatic and ecclesias-
teal circles variously comment on the
appointment OF Cardinal Serafro Vannu-
telli as Archbishop of Bologna. Il is under
stood that the Pope made this unexpected
decision because Cardinal Fannuteli was
considered as the chief of the opposition
against the republican policy of the Holy
Father, and even as the candidate favored
by the Emperor OF Austria for the success
sion TO the tiara. The Pope wished by
decisive act TO show that he will never be
turned aside from the path he has selected
TO pursue. The event is q triumph for
Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal Emedo-
schowske, and also for France and Russia.
1t is said on good authority that the Pope
has not responded to the approaches Of GER
tain powers who desired to submit to his
arbitration the international questions
looking TO bringing about an understanding
between France and Germany with view
to European alliance against Russia. On
the other hand the Holy Father has Just
taken steps toward rendering closer the
Russo-French alliance. There has not been
an exchange OF views, but protocol has
been pre- pared on the subject.
