Thought to Be Very Serious One-No
Cabinet Yet.
PARIS, Dec. 3.-The present crisis is not
merely political. but one in which great
constitutional questions are ut stake. The
Panama canal investigation committee
shows disposition to overstep constitu-
tional rights and the refusal of Public
Prosecutor Reauerepaire to give up docu-
ments to be used in the investiga-
ton ia approved by all who have
not lost their heads over the Panama
canal affair. Had M. Brisson, as the head
Of tho committee on investigation, been
successful in forming cabinet. his success
would have been interpreted as an accept
ance by the deputies of the committed 8
illegal policy. the result of which it would
have been impossible to foresee. There is
general apprehension that the event has
macnified the pretensions of the committee
into aiming at establishing itself into a
sort of committee of public safety, with
despotc powers.
News of Perier's failure to form cabi-
net was received with general regret. Pres
ident Carnot tonight sent for Nj. Bour-
geois, and asked him to make an effort tc
fot m ministry. M. Bourgeois decision
has not vet been announced. If he refuses
or fails in the attemp. M. Defreycinet and
Tirard are next favotites.

TO THWART THIEVES.
The Reason Osborne Took Possession of
the Governship.


the Governship.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 3.-The struggle
for the governship of Wyoming still con-
tinues. Yesterday Osborne, democratic
governor elect after effecting an entrance
into the governors Office, issued procla-
nation to the people of the state, calling
upon them to obey his command ana rec
oRnize him as governor. To-day Acting
Gov Barber issued counter proclamation
of considerable length in which he details
with no little yesbosity the reasons why
Osborne acted illegally in taking posses
sion of the Office and dilating on the
causes that prevented canvass of the
state vote, and concluded with an assertion
of his own authority. The document WAS
signed by Barber twice. once as acting gov
ernor, again as secretary of state.
At noon to-day Osborne's position
changed from one of siege. He had all
yesterday been inclosed in the governor 8
office with Barber's secretary. During the
night the secretary fell asleep and was
promptly locked up in separate room by
Osborne. Change came with the arrival of
number of friends, for whom
| previously stubborn doors few open.
Osborne, after deliberation. appointed AS
private secretary the we'll known politician,
| Timothy Dyer. Osborne will address an
| other proclamation to the people in the
morning Meanwhile it is said the republi-
cans managed to canvass the vote. thus de-
featine the very object for which Osborne'f
| step was taken.

Rothschiid's Proposals wiIi Be Taken Up
by the Conference.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 3.--The rejection OF the
Rothschild plan by the committee OF the
international monetary con nference does not
finally dispose of Rothschild's proposals.
The minority of the committee, who sup
ported the plan, are feeling their way to
take vote of tho conference on tho
scheme, with tho amendments offered III
the committee that no limitations Will he
made on the price Of the proposed annual
purchases of 30000,000 ounces of silver
that the purchases be over and above the
ordinary purchases for the token coinage
and metal, and that the purchases will be
employed as money either by coinage or as
the metallic basis of notes to be lssuod.
These notifications increased the value OF
the plan in the eyes of the bi-metallists.
When the conference resumes its season.
on Tuesday Sir VIM. Houldsworth, one OF
the British delegates, will. it is said. bring
forward further amendments to Hoths-
child's proposals, as tho committee recon-
mended the discussion OF the plan with
amendments by the full conference. The
proceedings of Tuesday's meeting, unless
the American delegates decide to ask the
conference to proceed without delay. will be
| discussion of the question of international
bi-metallism. 1t has transpired that the
delegates of countries belonging to the
Latin union voted against Rothschild'a
proposals on the ground that
they are not able to recommend
their government to increase their stocks
of silver under tho limited purchase
scheme, and because the countries in the
Latin union could not increase the presen
silver currency without International fre'
coinage being established. With regard t.

tical circles vnriouslv comment on the ap-
pointmeut of Cardinal Seratiuo Vannutelll
as archbishop of Bologna. 1t is understood
the pope took this unexpected decision be-
cause Cardinal Seratino is considered as
chief of the opposition against the republi-
can policy of the holy father. and even as
the candidate favored by the emperor of
Austria for succession to the tiara. The
pope wished by decisive act to show that
he will never be turned aside from path
ne selected to pursue. The event is tri-
umph for Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal
Ledochowski. and also for France and
Russia.
1t ia said on good authority that the pope
has not responded to tho approaches OF
certain powers who desired to submit to his
arbitration International questions looking
TO bringing aboat an understanding be
tween France and Germany, with view to
u European alliance against Russia, On
tho other hand. the holy father has just
taken n step towards rendering closer the
Russo French alliance. There has not been
an exchange OF views, but II protocol has
been prernred on the subject.
