The Scandal Referred To.
Paris, Dec. 19.-Thc report was cir
culated last evening that Senator Jules
Guichard would be made president Of
the Suez Canal company in place OF
Charles de Lcsscps, now III the NiaZas
prison awaiting trial for completely IN
the Panama canal frauds. Application
was made to Magistrate F~ranquev'lle
to-day to release De Lcsscps. San-Leroy
and Fontainc on bail. Responsible
hondsmcn were ready to sign the papers,
but the magistrate refused even to dis-
cuss the possibility of such a release:
He added that nobody would be allowed
to see the prisoners until after the cx-
animation of the documents seized IN
their Offices.
The Journal understands that to-mor-
row the chamber will be asked to author-
izc the prosecution of several dcputlcs'
Among the twelve persons to whom SUCH
an authorization would apply, the Jour-
nal says, are three senators ana lhree
deputies who belonged to the guarantee
syndicate. Tho examining magistrate Is
about to summon Jules Delahave TO SUD-
stantiatc the charge made by Elm be-
fore the chamber and the parliamentary
committee Of inquiry. This
ton is likely to cause disastrous results
in the chamber, rs NJ. Delahavc still
maintains the truth of his accusation
that $50 deputies and senators were
bought with 100000 franc whcn the
lottery bonds bill was under considera-
ton. The decisive vote in the committee
on the lottery bonds bill, he says, was
bought for 100000 francs. lie also
processes to have a mine of exact in
formation as to the purchase of editors,
one of them a foreigner, whose price was
500, 900 francs. The weakness of the
case so far has been that he has refused
to give the names of the bride takers,
and when pressed for them has taken
refuge in the device of referring his qucs-
TONERS to the cabinet ministers, who, he
said, had the complete list.
