PARIS, Dec. 24-The statement in these dis
patches yesterday afternoon that the ministry
have evidence that the present attack on the
government is part Of an organized plan for the
overthrow Of the republic and that each step
taken IL carefully discussed in advance by the
piotters against the constitution is fully con-
hrmed and the evidence has arrived at that
stage that the government is prepared to arrest
certain OF the conspiraaors against whom there
Is sufficient evidence
NJ Andrieux is regarded as the manager Of
the plot against the republic and the first blow
is to be struck at him.
When warned that he would be arrested to-
day NJ. Andrieux replied II have nothing TO
fear II l am arrested it will be to FAVE NJ
fIoquet from disgrace and punishment The
government Is seeking for clues to prove the
existence of II Boulangist and rovalist plot and
desires to make ont that am i'm plicated In it,
IL seems to me that the real plot il altogether
oil another character have taken precautions
SO that Il go TO the government oublette

not shielded by the lapse OF time since 'he

hand. to ferret out and bring TO punishment; all
who may be shown 70 be engaged in conspiracy
against the republic.
THE GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGED.
The government has h.er oroo.iy oel
by the vote of confidence in the chamber Of
deputies and will therefore take action more
promptly than was known to be intended when
II was announced in these dispatches: at Is
alfo suggested on well-infcrmed authority that
the ministry will have some revelations to make
In regard to the course OF the enemies OF the
republic that will divert attention in some de-
gree from the Panama scandal.
The Steele states today that the government
holds proof of a Boulangist conspiracy to effect
revolutlon,invclv the same rlotters as con-
splred for the destruction OF the republic in
1888.
VIGOROUS MEASURES TO BE TAKEN.
From other sources it is learned that even
more vigorous measures will be taken now than
IN ISIS and that President Garnet and his min
i5ters win show the same energy in putting
down the treason Of impecia!ist and royslist
plotters as was shown in putting down anar-
chist outrages In the early part of the year.
The victory of the government in the cham
Der of deputies has spread gloom and conster-
nation among the enemies of the republic and
they are much less aggressive in their utter
ancos today than yesterday. The threat of
prosecution. too. is having ia effect and ex-
presslons of avowed and open disloyalty to the
republic are very infrequent Whether the
alleged plotters have given up their schemes or
not they giveles public evidence of their aims.
