The New York stock market was tame

Saturday, the dizziness being extreme,
while the trading was almost wholly CON-
fined TO the professional element; and,
while the temper was strong throughout,
it was due entirely to the covering opera
tions of the local operators Naturally the
stocks which ave been most under pres

day. and conspicuous among them was

PARIS, Dec. 2i.-Excitement over the
Panama scandals to-day il greater than
ever, and the widest reports are afioat of
monarchist plots and coming arrests. II
is asserted that Herx has been In com.
munication In London with agents Of the
Count of Paris, and that the exposure of
the Thieroe checks is directly attributable
to royalist influence. Another rumor is
that officials and deputies. as well as civil
iaus, connected with tho panama scandal,
have had it intimated to them that their
salvation lies in the espousal Of roynlist
schemes, and that all their ofrenses will
be condoned IL they will consent to betray
the republic. Some confidence is placed
by wellinformed people in both these r,l-
mors. II is apparent the royalists' agents
have assumed an activity they have not
displayed for years, and there is also evi.
dence that royalist money 10 again afloat.

made widely favorable impression. The
great difficulty in the way Of q royalist
coup is there are no signs of disloyalty in
the army.
Tho military forces in the neie ehborhood
OF Paris are kept under the strictest

mont In Its Construction
TO GUARANTEE ITS BONDS
One Hundred Million Dollars to be
Secured by the United States
Tho Plan OF the Work
Outlined.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-The new Nicar
aqua canal bill, reported by Senator Sher-
man to-day, 10 drawn on substantially the
same lines az the bill reported from the
committee to the last congress, including
~ II does . proposition to guarantee the
bonds OF the company to tho extent OF
800 0,000m0 to aid in the construction OF
the canal. The new bill, however, con-
tains some additions which increase the
obligations of tho company rs well rs the
security Of the government. For instance
the real and personal property and fran
chises of the company are included In its
liabilities. It is provided that all stock
heretofore subscribed for or issued shall
be called In and cancelled; all bonds
issued redeemed and cancelled and all
outstanding obligations satisfied before
the bill becomes q law. The dates are
10 be changed 10 make the bonds issue
January 1888. and mature in 1853, but they
are also made rcdeemablc at the pleasure
OF the United States after 1918.
Tho section requiring tho company to
execute mortgage to the United States
~ security for the guarantee, 10 amended
by the addition Of o clause requiring tho
mortgage TO contain q provision Tor .
sinking fund for the payment OF bonds at
maturity. IL the company default In the
the payment of interest or in other re-
spects before the canal is In put In opera
ton, the right of foreclosure will at once
attach in favor of the United States. Tho
bill excludes from the expenditures nil
that may he taken into account, consider
alton paid or agreed 10 bo paid TO the
Nicaragua Construction company
by other parties for expenditures
by them and for concessions to
Nicaragua and Costa Rica and tho total
amount Of tho principal and interest Of
the bonds that may be issued for the first
payment is fixed at 100000 instead Of
h.000,000, as In the original bill.
Perhaps the most important changes In
the bill are those In tho section relative to
the issue of stock. In tho new bill this 10
limited to $4,000, ,0nO, 81, 10000 of which
Is to bo retained by the company, the
amount stipulated TO be delivered 10 tho

mainder to be issued to the United States

ctates or his proxy at the stockholders
meetings, and but three directors are TO

than that owned by tho United States. In
the hst section an amendment is made so
that 10 instead Of 6 Of the directors shall
be appointed by tho president Of the
United States. not more than five of whom
are to be- from one political party.
