FRANCE IN 4 TURMOIL
Bonapartists and Royalists Be- lieve the Time For Revo-
 lution Has Come.
THE PLoTTERs ARE VERY ACTIVE

Death or Exile Will Be the Punishment of Those Found Conspiring Against the Republic-The People Believe that tn, Present Form of Government Must Con- tinue, and That It is Capable of With. standing the Shock-Ncwspaper Storic, Greatly Baron de Reinach Would Have Ruined the Republic, Had It Not Been Endowed With Extraordi- nary Vitality-The Clemcnceau- Derou. Iede Duelling Fiasco.
 PARIS, Dec. 23.-It is impossible t, find any intelligible clue to the maze ot complicated accusations daily spun be fore NJ. Brisson. It is only clear that the plot is thickening aRd diffusing. The fact that the Government has thought il necessary to issue dement, of the cur rent rumors of disturbances fills Franc. with evil forebodings.
 What with Bonapartist and Monarchist plots, and the daily exposure of corrup tion ill high places, France is ill a tur moil such as has not been witnesseu since 1870.
 The people of France as a whole, do not consider that there is any great danger from the plotters against the Republic. They believe that the Republican form of government will survive. even from 8 greater shock, if such could occur.
 Nevertheless the Imperialists and Roy alists are very active, and seemingly be- lieve that the time for revolution has come.
 That they are plotting in secret there can be no doubt, but the stories published are greatly exaggerated. Nothing def nite is known by the public at large, al though the superb organization of the French secret service may have revealed some important facts to those high i'll au- thority.
 It is known that the government will use the most severe measures to nip ill the bud the first move hostile to the eX- istence of the government. Death or eN- ile will be the punishment of the plotters if they are discovered.
 The people of France believe the form of government they have chosen for them selves must be continued, and the present condition of affairs only serves to strengthen them in their determination that there shall be no going backward.
 It is quite clear that Baron de Reinach was a malefuctor whose genius for in triSue would have ruined the Republic were it not endowed with eXtraoruinary ry vitality.
 M Bourgeois appeared before the Par liamentary Commission of Inquiry, after NJ. Floquet had testified, to explain the seizure of the counterfoilS of the Thierrce checks.
 On Monday, he said, NJ. Thierrce ad- mitted to the examining magistrate that these were at his bank. The magistrate then accompanied NJ. Thierree to his office and secured them.
 NJ. Bourgeois promised that the papers of the Dynamite society and other i'm portant documents recently seized should be communicated to the commission. These documents, however, must be handled with great caution lest their contents should be used for purposes pre- judicial to the prosecution or defence.
 NJ. Andrieux eX-Prefect of Police, Was the next witneas. He said that he had photograph of a statement and account written by Baron de Reinach. This showed the names of the payeeS oI checks drawn by Baron de Reinach.
 M. AndrieuX wrote a list of names on . piece of paper and handed it to NJ. Bris- son, saying at the same time that four other names, one of a very high person age, he was prevented from mentioning by the dictates of discretion.
 Dr. Cornelius HerZ had shown him a document bearing the names of one hun drcd and four deputies who had been bought by the lobbyist Arton for d tUtal sum of 1,350,OOO francs. NJ. AndrieN could name most, if not all, of the men mentioned ill this document.
 Proofs of the culpability of many men named in the document had been prom l., T., tn nl, ai h., document from Dr. Herz.
 He wished it to be understood, how ever that he could not guarantee abso lutely the accuracy or the document or Baron de Reinachs statement. In his opinion Baron de Reinach's word was fan from unimpeachable.
 M Haciau, Advertising Agent for the Panama Canal company, testified that the sums paid to newspapers by the com pany ranged from 400, 900 francs to ,5UO, GOO francs for each issue of shares.
 Count Catfarelli, Monarchist deputy fol Aisne, told the Commission he could con firm the report that President Carnot had list of Deputies corruptly implicated ill the Panama Canal lobbying. This list, he said, comprised many Deputies whose names had not yet been mentioned ill connection with the scandal.
 The duel arranged between Deputy Millevoye and Deputy Clemenceau, ill consvuucnce of the insults exchanged dur inl. he debate of Tuesday, is not likely to be fought.
 1ne duel between ClemenCeau and De rou lrde was bloodless, as French ducls usually are. The men decided to fight at the last moment, after it had been r.- ported that the affair was oil. After three shots had been exchanged, to the great dauaser of the seconds each bel igerent declared himself satisfied.
