Wild Reports 1Oat OF Monarchist Plots
Against the Republic.
PARIS, Dec. 2l.-Excitement over the.
Panama scandal today is greater than
ever, and the widest reports are aAoat
of monarchist plots and coming arrests.
1t is asserted that Herr has been in
communication in London with agents
Of the count Of Paris; that the exposure
of the Thierree checks is directly attrib-
utable to royalist influence. Another
rumor is that officials and dep uties. ss
we'll as civilians, connected with the
Panama scandal, have had it intimated
poueal Of the royalist schemes; that all
will consent to betray the republic.
Some confidence is placed by well in
formed people 10 both rumors. 1t lie ap-
parent that royalists' agents assumed
an activity they have not displayed for
years. There is also evidence that row
aliet money is again afoat.
Should affairs take turn favorable to
coup d'etat on behalf of royalty, it is
probable, according to current report,
that the young duke of Orleans will be

OF his family, and his offer to serve in
the army as conecript when be came

The great difficulty in the way of
royalist coup is that there are no signs
OF disloyalty in the army. Freycinet,
minister of war, 10 untouched by the
ecandals that have beemirched his col
league Rouvier, and he has the devoted,
loyal attachment of the generals in the
higher command. The military forces
in the neighborhood of Paris
are kept under the strict
est discipline, and the greatest
vigilance. is exercised to prevent any
tampering with the troops. The off,
cers OF the army as q rule are of Repub-
lican eympathies. The Royalist and
Bonapartiet elements, especially the
former, have been relegated on various
pretexts to inocuous positions. The
government, it is said, has no doubt
whatever of the fidelity OF the troops,
and would at once call upon the parri-
s0ne OF Paris in caee Of an outbreak on
the part Of the Royalists.
The zeal OF the enemies Of the repub-
lie is also checked by the report made

any body that in the event OF an incur

IMPENDING DuELs.
The De Rouledo- Clemenceau Encounter
Indefinitely Postponed.

The De Roulede- Cl Clemenceau Encounter
Indefinitely Postponed.
PARIS. Dec. 2l.-Arrangements for
some of the duels growing out of the re-
cent events in the chamber have been
completed. Deputy Thompson and
friend will second Clemenceau in both
of his encounters. Dumentiel and
Baries will represent De Roulede and
Jourde and Coussod will take care of
Millevoye's interests. As all concerned
are deputies, the duels can take place
anywhere. as the participants are exempt
from prosecution.
The coming duel between Clemenceau,
editor of La Juetice, and De Roulede is
arousing considerable interest. De Rou.
lede has granted Clemenceau the choice
of weapons. Preparations for the event
are being pushed rapidly for
ward. Friends OF Clemenceau say he
intends duel to the death and will
be Satisfied with nothing short of this.
De- Roulede's friends aver he is also of q
deadly mind, and intends to kill Glenn
enceau or be killed himaelf. To prevent
La Justice from having an exclusive
report OF the duel, thereby making enor-
nous sales, which would be especially
|harrowipg to De Roulede's friends, in
case of his defeat the latter have prom
ieed, it is said, to keep the other news
papers fully and promptly posted on the
subject. Both would. be com batants
looked pale and earnest this morning,
but otherwise showed no sign of appre-
hension. The friends of both are loud
in their predictions of victory.
The report that Clemenceau and De
Roulede have serious intentions as to
duel tomorrow is fully confirmed. The
conditions agreed upon will show the
two to be remarkably lacking in nerve
if there is no fatal result. They are to
ipht with pistols. They will be sta
toned rs yards apart, but with the
privilege of advancing to five PAGES. AS
both men are considered good shots, it
is generally believed one or both will be
killed.
Later-The De Roulede-C -Clemenceau
duel has net yet been arranged. De
Roulede, although accepting Clemen.
ceau's conditions, desires to have the
affair referred to court of arbitration.
which is to decide who is the offender,
The duel is consequ emily postponed in
definitely.
Clemencau remained in the Office of
La Justice until 80 this morning with.
out having received General Saussier's
reply whether he would consent to arbi.

4 LONDON, Dec. 21.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Times says: The Paris
papers betray general ill-concealed con-

ago.
Cassagnac says in L'Autorite "It is a
clear indication that we are in the midst
of revolution"
The Paris correspondent Of the Tele-
graph says: The public is in state OF
feyerish expectancy. The ominous ex-
preston of La Premiere Charrette, sug.
gestive of the guillotine and the reign OF
terror, has been used in reference to the
first batch OF senators and deputies to
be sacrificed in the Panama affair. The
general question is who will be the oc-
cupants of the next tribunal. The dec
orations and Boulanger scandals are not
to be compared with the present crisis.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.
The Postal Telegraph Company Cinch et
by Q Federal Judge.

The Postal Telegraph Company Cinched
by Federal Judge.
PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 21.-In the
United States circuit court today Judge
Gilbert rendered decision in the dam
age suit of Fleischner, Mayer & Go.
against the Pacific Postal Telegraph
company, awarding the plaintiff $37O7,
the amount claimed. In June, 1891,
Fleischner, Mayer & Co. filed dispatch
to their attorney in Seattle, Wash in
structing him to present their
claim for $500 against the firm
of HI. & B. Greenbaum of that
city, who had failed. The message was
not sent, owing to the line being down,
until several hours had elapsed, during
which time other creditors filed claims
ahead of them. The court held that
the defendant was negligent in not noti-
flying plaintiffs of its inability to send
the message. 1t was defendants duty
to send the dispatch by the Western
Union wires, which were in order at the
time. The court awarded the damages
asked for, with interest at per cent
from September, 1891.

to advocate the annexation of Canada to
the United States. In its salutatory it
says in part: "We have no hesitation
in saying our lack of like progress is en-
tirely due to our unhappy separation
from the republic of the United States.
and as our faith is that as one
OF the states of the union we
would become more prosperous than we
can as British colonies alongside the
overshadowing great republic, we shall
devote ourselves to the furtherance of
this great mission. With England we
have no quarrel, but our hearts and en-
ergies should be devoted to improving
the condition of this, our own land"

The Novel Result of a Decision NV a
British Court

British Court.
LONDON, Dec. 21.-A decision was
handed down In the case of the queen
against Pearson's Weekly, one Of the
papers conducting the missing word''
competitions which were stopped by the
courts because the scheme was an in
fringement on the gaming act. When
the decision was made the proprietors
had on hand the money tent in with the
gueses of one missing word. This sum
amounted to $120, 900, and the question
arose as to what disposition should be
made of it. The addresses of the per-
sons who had not guessed the proper
word had been destroyed, 80 it was inn
possible to return the money, and the
rule of court prevented it's distribution
among those who had guessed the miss
ing word. The judge today ordered
Pearson's Weekly to pay the money into
court. Probably it will revert TO the
crown.
