The statement published by lie Temps in regard
to the death Of Baron Reinach Is calculated TO set al
rest all doubts concerning that question: wien served
as prctext 4. overthrow the LouDet CABINET whose
msmbels were opposed TO post mortem examination.
"Le Temps Is hgh-toned conservative and Mil
ktcria paper. not inclined to sensaonallsm. ana De-
longing the party as " La Repu"ique Fran
case.' whose odltol Joseph Renach. was the nephe"
and sonInlaw Of the dead banker. Although a cable
dispatch said yesterday that the official doctors having
charge OF the autopsy would not make their report
within three weeks The statement Of Il" lie Temps Is
calculated confirm the general opinion that Baron
Rinach committed suicide with one OF those pOisols
which he known TO be fond OF studying.
The scandal is great already. but some Paris papers
attempt make ii still greater and more mysterious by
insnuatng that there ally murder instead OF
suicde What occurred during each hour OF The last
day Of bis life is assumed to be known. The Baron Is
represented having had In the evening visit from
two persons who helped hjIn 10 burn many docu-
a. h. nod IN

from acting like man intending 70 Kill himself, had
Written In the Cf the day TO the eldest OF two
sisters with both Of whom he had exceedingly friendly
rlationS, letter, which delivered the day alter
MS oea.h, ana which far from indicating tnat he
expected 10 die The scandal concerning that
Panama affair Is already deep that 1t is to be hoped
that these about murder Will not be subStanti
ated, rs the reports about the suicide Seem TO be
proved by the statements OF " lie Temps Of Paris.
