PARIS, Dec. 24.-The statement in
these dispatches that the ministry have
evidence that the present attack on the
government is a recognized plan for the
overthrow of the republic is fully con-
| frmed. Matters have reached the
stage where the government is prepared
to arrest certain conspirators. Andrieux
is regarded as the manager of the plot,
and the first blow will be struck
at him. When warned that he would
be arrested, Andrisux said: 81 have
nothing to fear; il am arrested it will
be to save Floquet from disgrace and
punishment. The government is seek
ing clues to prove the existence of a
Boulangist and Royalist plot and desires
to make out that am implicated in it.
1t seems to me the real plot is altogether
OF another character. I have taken the
precautions that if go to dungeon,
the public will know the real motive OF
my arrest"
The precautions Andrieux have taken,
it is said, were to deposit with trust
worthy parties in London duplicates of
all the documentary evidence he has
collected against prominent Republi-
cans. This, however, will not affect the
action OF the government. The govern
ment is greatly encouraged by the en-
phatic vote of confidence in the chamber
OF deputies.
A local paper says the government has
proof OF Boulangist conspiracy to effect
q revolution involving the same parties
as in 1888. 1t is learned even more
VIGOROUS measures will be taken now
than in 1888. The government victory
enemies of the republic.
DE FREYCINET RESIGNED.
1t is rumored that M. de Freycinet,
minister of war, has resigned in conse-
quence of the attacks upon him in con-
nection with the Panama scandal. The
rumor is not officially confirmed. There
is considerable excitement in Paris and
groups of people stand about the streets
discussing the situation and eagerly
waiting for the latest develop
ments. The rumor of De Frey
cinet's resignation has caused intense
agitation, and rybody is asking what
effect sucl event, it tfus, would have
uDOu LILO 6Tuys Oulv6IEdl COuuQeuC6 ID
expressed among the boargeoise in the
coolnese. good judgment and loyalty OF
General Saussier, who has stood care
fully aloof from the existing complica-
tions and would, it is believed, in a
critical juncturs undoubtedly stand by
the government.
1t is also reported that the cabinet
has considered the question OF making
arrests for treason and came to de-
cision as to its course, which is kept Sc
cret, but that blow will be struck
within very short time.
PLoTTERs STILL BUSY.
The proceedings in the chamber OF
deputies today showed that the enc mics
of the government had not yet given up
their determination to break it down
through the Panama canal scandal. A
determined effort was made to involve
NJ. de Freycinet, and the uproar in the
chamber was 30 great as to cause appre-.
hension of personal violence between
the excited deputies. The session
closed amid great excitement until after
the Christmas holidays.
The proceedings OF the Panama canal
investigation committee were dull to-
day. The evidence showed that M.
Boudart had charge of the Panama
Canal company's advertising. The COM
mission will continue in session during
the Christmas holidays.
La Cocardt publishes today fac
simile letter from the ex-manager of the
Republique Francais, asserting that GER
tain members of the political staff of
that paper had demanded 100000 from
the Credit Foncier for assisting to secure
the passage of municipal bill.
An official denial has been made OF
the statement published in La Gaulois
that Nine. Carnot received $4,000
from the Panama Canal company for
charitable purposes.
In the chamber of deputies today Pre-
mier Ribot, in reply to q question,
stated that the United States OF Colon
bia had promised to prolong the Pana-
ma concessions.
THE REINACH AUTOPSY.
The examination of the remains of
Baron de Reinach is about complete.
One OF the chemists engaged in the ex-
animation is authority for the state
ment that he died OF poison with an
unnamed drug, which did not operate
for IL hours after taking. The conclu-
sion reached is that he did not commit
suicide, but was murdered. The darkest
possible insinuations will be spread
| abroad when The facts are known. It
should be denied in advance, however,
that the suspicion aroused is not enti-
| tied to the slightest credence.
The bourse was steadier today in con-
| quence OF the vote OF confidence.
