declares that the analysis Of the
yiscera revealed not the slightest
trace of poison. and the conclusion ar
rived at by DIR. Brouardel and his col
leagues is that the baron's death was
due to natural causes. The report,
though it is official. is regarded with
suspicion IN certain quarters. 1t Is
claimed by some persons that the
remarks by the baron on the night
OF his death to the effect that III
the press attacks being made on HIN
were not stopped he was lost, indicating
his intention to end his life when he
found the efforts of NM. Rouvier and
Clemenceau and himself TO silence the
newspapers were fruitleSs.
There is not lacking in persons who
openly express the belief that Baron de
Reinach was murdered, and the officials

persons claim, were responsible for the
baron's taking off. Against all these,

taken to end forever all question as to
the baron's death. The De Reinach
family, it is supposed, will accept the
report as final, as it removed from the
| baron the stigma of suicide.
The effort of M.9AndrieuX to draw
| Premier Ribot into a duel has failed,
| and it is not considered likely that M.
| AndrieuX will resort to violence, as was
at first intmated There is no dis
cussing the fact that Nj. AndrieuX has
gained much admiration by the bold
ness and success of his course. There

into the plotters for the overthrow of
the administration. M. AndrieuX check
mated that scheme by boldly proclaim

the purpose. as he claimed, to silence
| him in the task OF exposing the
Panama frauds by committing him
| to the dungeon. He proclaimed that
he had made sure OF the security or

his interest. so that the purpose of the
government would be. defeated. This. IT.
is reported, made the ministry hesitate
in their purpose of arresting him with
! out having clear and unanSWerable
| evidence to establish case against
| him. The ministry feared that the
public would interpret haSty arrest,
! without positive evidence to sustain 1T,
as proof that the statements OF M. An
dreuX as to the motives of the govern
ment were true. and this would mean
the ruin Of the cabinet.
| When AndrieuX arose Monday morn

| and that was to give M. Rib0t the choice
| between duel or a retracti0n OF the
words in which he had accused NJ. An
dreuX of endeayoring to excite dlsor-
der. and virtually of being
An Instigator of fInsurrectiOn.
AndrieuX sent challenge to NJ. Ri

replied through the secretary that the
utterances of NJ. Ribot had not gone be-
yond legitimate public criticism. All
| drieuX. not satisfied with this reply,
sent two friends to the premier to de-
maud satisfaction. The friends repre-
sented that NJ. Andrieux considered NJ.
Rbot's words as implying that he
| (AndrieuX) was guilty of GRIM
inal and ignoble act. and was
seeking in an ilegitlmate man
ner to arouse disorder and blood
shed. NJ. Andrieux therefore insisted,
| they declared. on such satisfaction AS a
duel would give. Nj. Ribot replied
| quietly that he had nothing to add
to the explanation already given
! through his secretary, except that he
considered that the explanation ought
dreux as to the sense in which the
words. which AndrieuX considered of
| fenSive, had been used. M. Ribot did
not speak apologetically, nor did he
| offer any retraction, or even propose to
| mitigate or eXtenuate the meaning of
what had been said. He declined at the
| same time 10 discuss the matter any
| further.
M. AndrieuX states in letter to the
newspapers that Nj. Ribot's words could
be taken as equivocaI. He adds: "They
are not acceptable to me, but thank
my friends for the measures they have
taken toward dissipating doubts as to
! what NJ. Ribot meant" The Incident Is
Considered Ended,
| and it is believed:that Nj. AndrieuX will
not attempt to insult Nj. Ribot publicly,
if, indeed, he has entertained such a
! purpose. The extreme socialists are
now taking an active part in the Pan
ANA confusion. At a meeting motion
was offered and carried to the effect
that the people should be summoned to
the Palais Bourbon the day that the
chambers again assembled. and that
| an appeal should be issued to the army
not to take arms against the people.
This action On the part of the extremists
! does not, however, cause serious anxiety
to the government.
