speech was mild to the point of tameness.
He explained hie plan for revising the con-

Tremendous cheering and applause from

ular The extreme Socialists, who form
such large proportion of the population
of Paris. have hailed with pleasure the
humiliation OF such representatives of the
Bouraeoise as Charles de Lesseps and M.
Fontaine. and the fact that the govern
ment hagn't deigned any answer to those
who criticIse its refusal to recognize
distinctions between criminals has tended
more than ever to crafty the lower classeA
who have in tho past been prejudiced
against the republic. Besides, the Social
lists and other extremists do not like the
activity of the supporters of the old re-
gimes, imperial and monarchlai. Ii revo-
luton is to come they do not want reac-
tionary revolution. and between the mon
nrchists and imperialIsts on the one side
and the republic on the other the lower
classes are for the latter. This sentiment
is making itself felt among the Deputies,
and it is believed that when the Chamber
resssembles after Christmas the Ministry
will have energetic support from some OF
the extremists who have hitherto been
either lukewarm or hostile. 1t is also sug-
gested, on usually well informed authority.
that the Ministry will have some revela-

MORE ARRESTS ORDERED.

Minister, NJ. Bourgeois. Minister of Justice.
and NJ. Louvet, Minister of the Interior.
was held this morning. with the result that
orders were ISSUED to the police to make
more arrests of persons implicated in the
Panama scandal. 1t is expected that, in
consequence of the statement made before
the Panama investigating committee yes
terday, by NJ. FIoQuet, President Of the
Chamber of Deputies he will be advised to
resign his position in the Chamber.

that NJ. CoDstans had given TO the Presi-

were implicated. NJ. Maret, editor of the
Radical, denied that his paper had been

that had been made upon his paper and de.

revelations from America concerning the
character of NJ. Herr. who was connected
with Baron Reinach, do not cause surprise
among those who have known NJ. Herr in
Paris. The only surprise is that a man as
shrewd as Reinach and as noted for quick
wit in judging of men should have had any
transactions with snch peculiar charac-
ter as Herr. The impression prevails that
Herr got possessed of some of the Panama
secrets and used them TO the best personal
advantage.
The Figaro says that before NJ. Clemen-
cenu and Deroulede fought their duel, yes
terday. the latter directed his seconds TO
inform Nj. Clemenceau that If he Derou-
lede did not lose his life in the duel he
would continue to attack him in Parlia-
ment. The paper adds that M. Deroulede
refused to shake hands with his opponent.
