teld of the origin OF the Port Mission and
of the excellenG work which the organi-

other men upon the great steamships
wuich arrive and depart from this port.
She described the lite of the tiremen and
stokers shut up day after day away down
in the bowels of those great steamships
with very little to relieve the moGotony
of their drudgery, aud related many in-
stances OF the happy conversions the 81

THE PANAMA SCANDAL.

PARIS, Dec. II, 1S92,-The determine
tion of the Government to clear away all
the mystery surrounding the affairs of
the Panama Canal Company is undoubt-
edly founded on the belief that in this
course alone lies safety for itself and for
the country. Any display of hesitancy
now would result in ruin, and as their
official lives depend on probing the affair
to the bottom, there can be no doubt that
in time the whole mass of corruption will
be cleared away. Today, acting under
orders from the Government. the police
searched the house of M. Laur. a
Boulangist member Of the Chamber of
Deputies. and seized number of docu-
ments pertaining to the Panama affair.
The Ministry will ask the Chamber of
Deputies to authorize the arrest of any of
its members found to nave been impli-
Gated in the scandal
