THE MOTTO OF THE FRENCH
In the Panama Canal Conspiracy - The

PARIS. Dec 17.-To-day acting under
orders from the Government, the police
searched the house of NJ. Laur. a Bou-
Iangist member of the Chamber OF De-
puties. and seized q number Of documents
pertaining TO the Panama affair. The
ministry will ask the Chamber of Depu-
ties TO authorize the arrest Of any Of its
members found to have been implicated
in the scandal
La Libre Parole. IL Drumont's paper,
which appears 20 be exceptionally well
informed on Panama matters states to-
day that the amount of the bribes dis
tributed by agents OF the company reaches
the enormous total Of 2O.OOOOOO francs.
The Figaro says that the trial Of the
directors of the company before the cor
rectional tribunal will proceed conjointly
with their prosecution on charges or cor
ruption before the assize court.
The Eclair says that among the papers
seized belonging to Charles De Lesseps
were found minutes signed by three
directors giving full revelations or the
affairs Of the company. The minutes, IL
adds cover the transactions for several
years.
