PARIS, Nov. 90 New York Herald
Cable - Special to THE BEE. The interA
est OF Europe ia centereo in two things-the
Panama canal scandal and the speech before
the Reicnstag Of Chancellor Won Caprivi,
Both events aic Of Importance because thoy
are signs of universal change in poliuos,
The Panama scandal, even IL only the half
OF what-is told be true. prov es that the por-
sonnel Of great French party is rotten,
1t is impossible to give nn idea of what the
results may be. The first sessions of tho
parliamentary commission were disquieting.
Deputy do la Haye does not say that he 10
able to give names, but he furnishes the
commission number OF checks bearing tho
names of bankers, checks endorsed bv NJ.
Drumont, who refuses to say anything until
he is set at liberty. The commission de.
mands the pardon of NJ. Drumont.
Mourning ic Bray General.
The frghtful muddle brings to mind the
sad memories OF the convention of 1903.
Every popular sentiment Is embodied in the
exclamation:
"Oh if Boulangcr were not dead"
Certain 1t Is that were he alive his chances
of rsturn to power would be great. 1t is .
sad commentary, but easy to understand.
The people are weary of looking ut SO much
corruption. The republic is on too solid q
basis to be in danger, but personal politics
will be the broom which will sweep the next
election.
The speech of Chancellor Won Caprivi has
produced n bad effect in Europe. ] see from
tho diplomatic dispatches that come from
London that every BODY considers the speech
the forerunner of a warlike policy. Nobody
understands why tho increase in the effeo.
tive force is demanded. / am obliged TO ad-
nit that there is no existing reason for thA
demand according to Caprvi. This impreA
sion and public opinion in Germany are idens
| tical.
Diplomatsts observe that the almost absos
| lutte silence of the chancellor on the triple
alliance was quite characteristic. This
silence is also observed in the speech from
| the throne of Emperor William. The gen,
| eral opihion is that tho triple alliance is noS
as strong as it was. This Is a new conhrmaA
ton Of what the Herald said six months ago
| about the cooness between Germany and
| Austria, the rapprochement between Russia
| and Austria and even sentiment 10 Italy.
Dust IN the Peoples Eyes.
Count Crispi. in his speech at Palermo,
blamed the ministry for, having renewed tho
alliance. He held that it should have lefk
ltaly's hands free, so that she might draw
closer to France. On tho other hand, tho
vatican Is working openly against the triple
| alliance. Therefore the efforts of diplomat.
| lists and the increase in armuments every.
| whore have brought about auulversal strain.
In Germany it Is caused by an unwhole-
somo policy. in France through scandal. 1t 10
| necessary to create "vlgorous foreign poll
icy" 10 distract the attention of the people
from other things. 1t is to be feared that
the present awkward situation will be proc
longed. JACQUES 81. CERE.
