PARIS. Dec. 24.-Sta tement in these
tiSpa tches that the Ministry has evil
hence that the present attack on the
government is part of an organ lied
plan for the overthrow OF the republic
ana that each step taken is carefully
discussed in advance by the plotters
against the constital:oH, is now fully
confirmed, and the evidence has ar
rived at the stage where t"2 govern

the conspirators against whom there
is sufficient proof NJ. Andrieux is re-
garded 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 Andrieux replied: IL have
nothing to fear. If am

from disgrace and punishment. The
government is seeking for clues to
Drove the existence of Boulangist and
Aoyalist plot, and desires to make out
that implicated in it. 1t seems to
me that the real plot is altogether Of
another character l have tcken pre-
cautions so that if go to the dungeon
the public will know the real motives
for my arrest
The Steele states TODAY that the
government holds proof of a Boulang-
list conspiracy to effect revolution,
involving the. same plotters as con-
splred Tor the destruction of the re-
pubic in 1883. From other sources it
Is learned that even more vigorous
measures Will be taken now than in
1883 and that President Carnot "A n his
Minister'S will show the same energy
IN putting down the treason of Imperi-
4tlst and Royalist plotters as was
shown IN putting down Anarchist out
cages in the early part of the year
1t is rumored that Nj. DcFrcycinct,
minister of war, has resigned in consc-
quence of attacks upon him In con
nection with the Panama scandal.
The runor is not officially confirmed.
There is considerable excitement In
Paris and groups of people stand about
the streets discussing the situation and
eagerly waiting for the latest develop
mentS. The rumor of DeFrcycinets
resignation has caused intense agita-
ton, and everybody is asking what
effect such an event, if true, will have
upon the army.
Universal confidence is expressed
among the Bourgcoise in the GOODNESS,
good Judgment and loyalty of General
Sauscicr, who has stood carefully aloof
from existing complications and would,
it is believed, at Il critical juncturc I'M
doubleday stand by the government.
1t is also reported that the cabinet
considered the question of making ar
rests for treason, and came to de-
cision as to its course, which is kept
secret, but that the blow will be struck
within Il very short time.
The proceedings in the chamber OF
government had not yet given up Il
determination to break it down through
Panama scandal. A determined effort
was made to involve M. DeFreycinet
and the uproar in the chamber was so
great as to cause apprehension OF per-
sonal violence between the excited
deputies. The session was closed amid
great excitement until after the Christ
mas holidays. The proceedings Of the
Panama canal investigating committee
were dull today. The evidence showed
that NJ. Boudart had charge of the Pana-
maCanal company's advertising. The
commission will continue in session dur
inc tho Christmas HOLIDAYS
La Cocardeux publishes today a fac
smile letter from the eX-manager OF
Republique Franchise, asserting that
certain members Of the political staff
of that paper had demanded 100000
from the credit Of the financier for as
sisting to secure the passage Of the
municipal bill.
I An official denial has been made OF
this statement published in Galois that
NJ. DeCarnot received 1000 francs from
, the Panama Canal company, for chari-
, table purposes.
