Special TO THE MORNING CALL

PARIS. Dec. 21.-The excitement over the
Panama scandals to-day is greater than ever.
and the widest reports are afioat of mon
Rrchist plots and coming arrests.
1t is asserted that Herr has been in COM
munieaton in London with agents of the
Count of Paris, and that the exposure of
the Thierree checks Is directly ttributahle
TO Royalist influence.
Another rumor is that officials and Depu-
ties, as we'll as civilians connected with the
Panama scandal. have had 1t intimated to
them that their salvation lies in the espousal
of Royalist schemes, and that all their Of
fenses would be condoned if they will con-
sent to betray the republic.
Some confidence is placed by weIl-in-
formed people in both of the above rumors
1t is apparent Royalist agents have assumed
an activity they have not display ed for
years. There is also evidence that Royalist
money is again afloat
Should affairs take turn favora BILE to
coup d'etat in behalf of royalty it is prob
able, according TO current report, that the
young Duke of Orleans would be selected to
lead the attack. The Duke is more popular
than any other member Of his family, and
his offer 70 serve in the army as conseript
when lie came of age made widely favor
able i'm preston.
EThe great difficulty in the way of a Royal
iSt coup is there are no signs of disloyalty
In the army.
De Freycinet. Minister of War, is un-
touched by the scandals that have be-
smirched his colleague Rouvier, and he has
the devoted and loyal attachment of the
generals in high command. The military
forces in the neighborhoOd of Paris are
kept under the strtctest discipline, and the
greatest vigilance is exercised to prevent
any tampering with the troops. The Off
GERS OF the army, as a rule, are OF Republi-
can sympathies. the Royalist and Bona
partlst element, especially the former
having been delegated on various pretexts
to innocuous positions. The Government,
ii is said, has no doubt whatever of the
fidelity of the troops. and would at once call
upon the garrison of Paris in case Of an
outbreak on the part of the Royalists
The zeal of the enemies of the republic
has also been checked by report, made
current unoffcially. but not doubted by any,
body, that In the event Of an insurreetion
martial law will be at once proclaimed aud
every insuTgent captured in camp will be
either shot Oh the spot or executed after
summary court-martiaL
1t is known that the officers of the navy
are much more Royalist in tendency than
thnse of the army. but no danger to the
republic is expected from the navy, as it is
believed that the officers in command. how
ever ardently some Of them might welcome
the re-establishment Of monarchy, would
hesitate long before riSkIDg the loss of de-
sirable positions.
The movements of the Monarchist agi-
tatoTs are being carefully watched by
agents Of the Government in France, Eng
land aud Spain, aud special watch Is being
kept at the passes of the Pyrenees for fear
a Royalist movement might be attempted
from that direction.
