PARIS, Dec 1.-THE determination of
the government to clear away all the
mystery surrounding the affairs of the
Panama Canal company is undoubtedly y
founded on the fact that in this course
alone is safety for itself and its country.
Any display of besitancy would result in
ruin, and, as their official lives depend on
probing the affair to the bottom, there can
be no doubt that in time the whole mass
of corruption will he cleared away.
Today, acting under orders of the gov
ernmeut, the police searched the house of
". Laure, the Boulnagist member of the
chamber of deputies, and seized number
of documents pertaining to the Panama
affair. The ministry will ask the chamber
of deputies to authorize the arrest OF any
OF its members found to have been impli-
Gated in the &C C4ndal.
La Libre Parole, " Drumont's paper,
which appears to be exceptionally well in
formed on Panama matters. states today
that the amount of the bribeS distributed
by agents of the company reaches the
enormous total of 20, 000. 900 francs.
The Republican journals are unanimous
in their approval of the course OF the gov
ernmeut in causing the arrest of NJ VI.
Charles de Lesseps, Fontaine and San
Leroy. They hold that there must be no
turning back in the prosecutions.
VIENNA, Dec IL Baron Henry Cottu,
the director of the Panama Canal company
against whom an order of arrest has been
issued says that he will 90 back TO Paris
at once.
NJ Charles de Lesseps and his fellow
prisoners protested today against the 2ld
seclusion to which they are subjected IN
the Mazas prison. They said tbat they
were confined like common criminals and
subjected to the same treatment rs rob
b-rs and other offenders of the vilsst type.
They demanded the privilege OF being a.
lowed to see visitors. The examiuing
magistrate promised to consider their re-
quest after he had examined the docu-
ments relating 10 their case.
A. entry in one of the books of THERE
& Co, the coulisse firm, shows that Joseph
de Reinach. son-in law of Baron de
Reinach, received 10000 from the firm.
Joseph de Reinach says that he received
the money as a dowry, and that he IS
willing TO return the amount to the iiqul-
dators of the Panama Caual company II 1t
can BE- shown that the money came from
his friends.
A duel, growing out of Thursdays de-
bate in the chamber of deputies, was
fought today, Deputy Arene, RepubH-
can, having challenged Deputy Gabriel, a
Boulangist. Two shots were exchanged,
but neither was hurt

RERIIN GOSSIP

BERLIN, Dec. lit appears that when
it became apparent to Chancellor Won
Capr1vi that his full demands for an in-
crease Of the standing army would not be
granted he informed the emperor that he
would gladly resign his office His
majesty, however, was not disposed to
give the chancellor any encouragement in
retiring under fire. He expressed his de-
termination to make the army bill law,
even at the risk of an appeal to the coun-
try. He assured Chancellor Won Caprivi
that he would stand by him under all
circumstances The chancellor gained
renewed courage from his interview with
the emperor and consented TO remain In
office and fight the battle out by dissolu-
tiou of the reichstag is need be.
A notable feature Of the debates has
been the omission of alIuslons to Prince
Bismarck or any reference to MS oDlu-
ions His old adherents have avoided
mentioning his name in the discussions
aud have also avoided iudulging in their
old comparisons of the methods pursued
hy the chancellor AMI those followed by
Prince Bismarck.
The developments in the Panama scan

perhaps anxiety. One comfort is that the

have been put in for new consumers 200
service-pipes; renewed aud repaired, 706 Of
various sizes.
The repairs 10 the works the past year
have been unusually large, owing to the
necessity Of having to put new crowns on
both holders at the upper works. These
holders have been II constant use since
the erection Of the works in 1852 and their
condition was such that they required q
thorough overhauling. The loss of gas
from leakage was enormously large. yet
owing to the limited holder capacity,
neither one could be spared for repairs un-
I'll midsummer when the consump-
ton OF gas was small enough 10 ad-
NIT Of dispensing with one at o
time. The entire holder capacity OF
the works is only 100000 cubic feet and
the consumption has already reached
nearly million. This proves the neees-
sity OF another holder or some means Of
generating gas more rapidly than can DO
done with the present coal-gas benches.
The renewals Of retort-benches have also
been large. Fourteen benches of 6's have
been rebuilt. and are now under fire and
making gas.
The consumption Of gas is continually
on the increase, and il would be we'll fer
the Council to introduce at once every
modern improvement whereby TO enable
the management to make gas of higher
candle-power and less cost to the city and
consumer.
