ENGLISH OPINION.
On the Whole the Republic Has Strong
Vitality.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The Paris correspon-
dent of the News SAYS: NJ. Floauet's ex-
planation to-day amounts to an admission
that he indirectly induced the Panama
Canal Company to spend their press sab
sides on orgars favorable to the Govern
ment instead of wholly on the opposition
papers. This is fair enough, according 10
French official traditions
1T is quite clear" continues the News
correspondent. shat Baron de Reinach was
a malefactor. whose genius for intrigue in.
evitably would have ruined the republic
were 1t not endowed with extraordinary
vitality. The attempts of Bourgeois to pro-
tect the Reinach family from full revela-
tions will not strengthen the Government" T"
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says: NJ. Andrieux is evidently
bent on torturing his victims and worrying
the committee. He said enough, however,
to show that he possessed damaging testl-
mony affecting influential statesmen.
The Paris correspondent Of the Times
says: Andrieux's sensational deposition gave
the impression that the Baron de ReInach
visited Herr with the hope of recovering
discriminating memoranda, failing in which
he committed suicide.

THE PARTISAN PRESS.
Clearly an Attempt TO Revive the
Third En1nire

PARIS, Dec. 22-La Lauterne says the
papers discovered yesterday in the exami-
nation of documents belonging to the CON-
pany that supplied dynamite for work on
the Panama Canal show that Deputies
Naquet, Laguerre, st. Martin and laur
received sums from Arton, go-between in
the corruption, for their votes in the Cham
bers.
lie Matin says fifteen more warrants have
been prepared against the Senators and
Deputies. and that public prosecutors in the
country districts have been instructed to
search the residences ofaccused persons and
examine witnesses for evidence In relation
TO the charges.
Dslafosse writes to the Figaro that the
parliamentary republic is ruined and ought
to be replaced by consular republic, with
Prince Victor Bonaparie as First Consul.
The suggestion Is looked upob as an at
tempt to revive the empire through the
same process by which the First Napoleon
arrived at the throne. 1t attracts attention
only as indicating the strained situation

tween prominent members of the Right.
They will attempt to strike the blow In
Paris rather than the provinces. They. like
the monarchists. are being carefully
watched, and every movement is reported 10
President Carnot. The proceedings OF the
secret conclave, at which the manifesto was
determined upon, were known to the Gov
ernment almost as soon as the conclave ad-
1ourned, and the Government is already in
possession of the terms of the manifesto.
Not so much Importance is attached by
the authorities to the Bonapartist as to the
monarchist agitation. The ancient royal
house has still large following in the prov
lnces, as shown during the recent visit of
the Countess OF Paris to France. when hun
dreds tbronged TO kiss her hand, and she
was received at various places with all the
loyalty and honor that could be shown q
queen. This following could easily be
aroused into a formidable demonstration
that would cause huge effort to suppress,
and the royalist cause would receive the
sympathy of hundreds of thousands of
swindled Panama stockholders, who despise
what they regard as bastard Bonapartism
that trades on the fame of the great Napo-
leon, and have learned to hate tie repub-
lie. whose representatives are exposed as
parties TO the Panama fraud.

ALL FOR VENGEANCE.
Where the Evidence Against the
Bribers Has Come From.

PARIS. Dec. 22.-At last there is clew 10
the source Of the incriminating evidence be-
ing Systematically put forward day by day
and to the ulterior motives prompting its
use.
President Carnot thought he possessed all
the facts about the briberies when he d.
rected Ricard to begin prosecutions against
half dozen men with the purpose Of in-
volVing his rival. Freycinet, and other
political enemies. The real story of cor
ruptiou, with overwhelming evidence to
back 1t, was In the possession of an am
bilious, reyengeful, brainy man who did
not purpose making use Of the weapon till
the national campaign of next year.
This man is Louis Andrieux, the former
Prefect OF Police. Three years ago he was
defeated in seeking a reelection to the
Chamber. and since then he has been pre-
pairing to revenge himself against his
enemies and to gratify q greater ambition.
He did not move until the uncovering of the
first features of the Panama scandal sho wed
him that complete exposure could not be
averted. The situation, as a whole. while
darker than. ever as regards the public
scandal. is certainly not so alarming as it
appeared a few days ago.

RESCUED FROrl DEATH
A Lads Life Saved by a Surgeons S
Wonderful Nerve.
There Was Renewal Of Heart Action
Even After the Complete Collapse
Betokening Death.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK, Dee. 22-The medical pro-
fession here has been much stirred, so far
as it is vet familiar with the details of the
case. by the story of a remarkable surgical
operation performed within few days by
DIR. Albert Skunk of this city. James Nc
Caughy, aged u, was suffering from
appendicitis" or inflammation of the
blind intestine. The trouble was caused by
some foreign substance entering the vermi-
form appendix. The doctor, when called,
found the patient In a bad way and recon-
mended an operation. the diagnosis showing
that an abscess was forming around the
yermiform appendix. The parents delayed
tie operation until tie arrival OF some rela-
tiyes who had been summoned, and when
they were finally ready for the operation
the doctor discovered that the abscess
had just broken and that pus was
flooding the abdominal cavity. In
this crisis it seemed clear that the
boy was dying. The doctor tod the rela-
tives that it was barely possible an oper-
alton might save him. but that the chances
were many times against ii. They insisted
on his proceeding. The patient was accord
ingly anesthetiZed, and, as soon as the
opening was made in the abdomen, there
was plenteous flow of pus. At talmest the
same moment the pulse ceased to beat, the
heart stopped and every evidence OF the
most complete collapse betokened the pres
eDee of death. The doctor instantly en-
lareed the incislOr, and. holding it open
with one hand, poured with the other the
contents OF pitcher Of hot water into the
abdominal cavity. In a few minutes there
was renewal OF heart action. and, aided
by hypodermic injections, the boy slowly
returned to life. The foreign substance was
quickly located and removed, the operation
completed and the boy is now on the road to

SANCTIFICATION AFTER DEATH.
Argument i'm the Briggs Case OH q
Point of Faith

New York, Dec. 22-In the Briggs case
this afternoon Lampe took mp the consid-
Grafton of the sixth charge against Briggs.
namely, that he teaches that sanctificaton
does not follow Immediately after death.
Lampe maintained the fact that Christ.
when he came into this world as n second
Adam TO redeem the world, was proof that
man leaves the misery. toll and sin OF this
world behind him when he is called away
by death, and that the souls of believers are
at once sanctified.
When Lampe had concluded Van Dyke
moved that as the moderator had ruled that
Lampe had introduced new matter Briggs
be allowed to reply. This was granted, ana
Briggs attacked Lampe's historical knowl-
edge. and closed by saying that the court
had his defense, and he challenged the MEM
.bers to judge him by the Scriptures and the
Westminster confession. Moderator Bliss
then ruled that the case. so far as the argu-
ments and evidence were concerned, was
ended. The next thing is for the court to
consider the evidence and arguments in de-
tail, and this will be done on next Wednes-
day. The sessions will be secret.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The controversy
in Montana about the political composition
OF the Legislature OF that State involves
the question as to whether the Democrats
or the Republicans. combined with the Pop
ulists. have majority on joint ballot. The
Democrats have attempted to count out the
Republicans, and thus secure thrty-six out
OF seventyone members OF the Legislature
by secreting the returns from the box Of
Elder Precinct. in Choteau County, and
thereby certifying that Hamilton d. was
elected instead Of Lead r., who had clear
majority of seven. One w. j. Minor, O
former Republican, "a characterless rene
gade.' as citizen of Montana now in
Washington called him to ) day, was
one Of the majority of the Canvassine
Board which refused to count tho
returns from Box Elder, not on any ground
OF informallty or lack OF genuineness, but on
the mere pretense that persons had voted and
had their votes returned when they ought not
to have been permitted to vote at all. Pro-
eeedings in the Supreme Court of the State
to compel the count of this return have
been pending for ten days. but these
proceeding have been met by Democratic
dilatory pleas. At last the canvassing
board has flied an answer TO the srecfca-
tions presented by the Republicans, and
having completed this WORK these can
vassers fled from the State to Canada. where
they are now.
