HE PANAMA SCANDAL

PARIS, Dec. 2S The Ribot- Audrieus
incident is considered ended, and it is be.
iieved that NJ. Andrieux will not attempt
to insult NJ Ribot publicly, if indeed ht
aas entertained such purpose
1t is not understood that the government
! has abandoned the purpose to make ar
rests, although none has as yet been an
| nounced. 1t is reported that the authori-
ties are waiting for additional evidence
The Figaro states that book contain
| ing copies of letters has been found in the
! office OF the Panama Canal Company,
! which compromises large number of
! senators and deputies. The book in ques-
tion contains copies of correspondence
with DR., Herr and NJ. Arton relating TO
the sale OF tue votes in the senate and
chamber of deputies in behalf of the
Panama canal scheme. There are letters
demanding money, together with the dates
on which payments were made. This
book Is one OF the most valuable pieces of
evidence that has yet fallen into the hands
OF the government, and will be made the
basis OF additional prosecutions. IL estsb-
fishes beyond a doubt that DR.. Herr was
not a mere blackmailer, but was an active
Eo-oetween IN the corruption of the legis-
lHtorS, having apparently been treated
with implicit confidence by Baron de
Reinach and others.
The extreme Socialists are now taking
an active part in the Panama confusion
At meeting yesterday NM. Allemaine,
Guesde and other leaders advocated a
union OF all factions of the party, with the
view to common action. The meeting was
attended by great excitement. A motion
was offered to the effect that the
people should be summoned to the
palais de Bourbon on the day that the
chambers again reassembled, and that
ar ch La =,
not to take arms against he people Tue
motion was carried amIL tremendous
uproar. New orders nave been issued 10
the police to keep a careful watch on the
Socialist agitators.
The rumors concerning the death Of
Baron de Reinach and the theoriziug In
regard to IL were proved this morning to
have been utterly baseIess. The report of !
DR.. Brouardel, who had charge Of the /
autopsy, was made public today. IL de- /
ciares that the analysis of the viscera /
revealed not the slightest trace OF poison.
Ihe conclusion arrived at by DR.. Brouardel .
and his colleagues is that the baran's ,
death was due TO natural caus,s The ,
report. though official, is regarded with
suspicion IN certain quarters. 1t j. claimed /
