A Feeling In Paris That the Cabine. should
Again Be Revised.
p.HIs, Jan. lI.-Tbere is strong feel
ing in the chamber of deputies "a
well az among the general public, that
, ". EibOt has no, yet sufficiently purged
the ministry Of those who. whether limo
cent or guilty. have been under suspicion in
connection with the Panama scandal 1t lie
remembered that the most serious evidence
given before the Panama committee of inquiry
in the early Part Of December WAS that OF NJ.
ferdinand Martin. who made some very grave
accusations against a number Of public men.
wnAT ''eo-BEIwEEy" SAYS.
". Martin. according to his own statement.
acted for the Panama Company in much the
same capacity as the late Baron De Reinach,
though the sums placed at his disposAl for the
purpose OK bribery were not SO large. He ce
ciared that VI. Burdeaux, minister Of marine,
and NJ. Baihnut and Granct had constantly
ceived money from the Panama Company. HIS
authority for this statement. he said. N.
MariUs Foutane, of the prosecuted di-
rectors.
With regard to this statement It must be said
That VI Burdeau1, Baihut and GraIet abso-
lutely denied that they had been the recipients
uf brides and demanded to DO heard By the
committee in order to repel these accusations.
These denials appear to have been accepted
as satisfactory, and the fact that no further
evidence appears to have developed against NJ
burdeaux has been regarded rs establishing
the fslsity o: the charges
-HE CABINET sHoCLD BE ABOVE SUSPICION.
Nevertheless tho view is generally expressed
that il would better to have o ministry com
posed Of men against whom charges what
ever had been made. The public demand is
strongly for a thorough investigation, without
ans hampering influences, and for
ministry free from the breath of scan
daL II NJ. Inbo, should fail to explain
10 the satisfaction OF tho chamber the
reasons for the change which have been made
IL the ministry the royalsts will interpolate
him on thu subject. The leaders Of the royal
Is. party in the chamber OF deputies came to
this decision at n meeting held last evening.
They will also take occasion to ask why the
construction OF the ministry was not more
thorough
The royalists have shown greatly increased
activity within the past twenty-four hours, and
the authorities appear TO be in possession of
some new and important information to their
designs There has been considerable telegraph
ing between Madrid and the ministry OF foreign
affairs, and. while the object Of these commu-
nications is kept secret enough il known to
make II certain that the French legation in
Spain Is keeping a mos. careful watch on royal
list intrisues beyond the Pyrenes, and that an
equally careful watch is being maintained on
royallst plotting in Paris.
GEN. sAUssIER TO REMAIN.
The announcement that Gen. Saussier was to
remain on the active list military governor
Of Paris after passing the age OF retirement is
construed as an indication that the government
means 10 he prepared for any emergency.
Gen. Saussier is considered the most reliable
man IN the army and would be invaluable in
the event of public disturbance
While he stands aloo: from political agitation
he stands ready to 60 soldiers duty i'll the
support of existing authority and would crush
disorder at any cost. There is doubt that
the assurance of Gen. Saussiers continuance in
command has had dampening effec: upon
those who would like to see capital thrown in a
panic while il has had encouraging influence
upon the supporters of constituted authority.
The D,bGts today congratulates VI. Ribot on
breaking the bonds which have attached the
ministry to the radicals and advises VI. Ribot
to break other bonds which not conducive
to good administration.
The moderate republican organs accept tie
new ministry with good will. while the radicals
are dissatisfied and urge an appeal TO the coun-
try. The monarchists. in accord with their
policy Of stimulating dissatisfaction. assert that
the new cabinet Is powercss to dominate the
situation.
ANOTHER CABINET CHANGE.
In Difference to the overwhelming public de-
mand for a further reconstruction of the minis
try Vi. Ribot has had a lengthy conversation
with Admiral Gervais. chief of the department
of marine and of the colonies, in regard to
accepting the ministry of marine and of tine
colonies in place of VI. Bordeaux. Admiral
Gervais, it IL stated. hesitates about accepting
the place under the circumstances. but will
give an answer this afternoon. The appoint
ment of Admiral Gervais would be highly
popular, and II Is suggested that it would
tend to cOunteract any feeling OF dis
trust the part of tine car toward
the republic. the car having a high
personal opinion of Admiral Gervais. by whom
be was cordially entertained in July. 1891. when
the czs. after his visit 10 the feet sent a NEE
rage Of conSratula;iOn tn President Carnot.
Va. Auguste Bordeaux. minister of marine
whose retirement from the cabinet nov appears
90 be assured, was born in 1851 at Lyons of
parents who were working people. lie
attended primary school and after
ward the Lyons Lyceum. where he
gained distinguished honors by his ability
scholar. lie entered the army on the
opening of the Fraaco-Prussian war. and fought
with bravery. being wounded and made pyis-
oner in January. 1871. His gallant conduct III
the field gained him, when only twenty years
old. the cross of the Legion of Honor. After
| the war he was appointed professor at st.
Elenne AMI he af,eryard professor at
Nancy, and finally at the Lyceum Louis in
Paris lie was elected TO the chamber from the
department Of Rhone.
hkIIEE ffLLISo IKE CoSsE0CENCE.
VI. Ribo.'s decision to accept N. Bordeau1s
dec!inaiion OF the ministry of marine has caused
| decided Improvement in the sitnation. NJ.
Bordeaux himself appreciates the public preju-
dice against the continuance in the cabinet
81 any one smrched even with the suspicion
] of Panama scandal and has insisted upon
refusing the position. with NJ. Bordeaux re-
moved from the cabinet il is now believed that
I there will be difficulty in the new ministry
securing the support Of the chamber. especially
should such an acceptable person as Admiral
Geryais take the place.
II Is now stated that NJ Ribot had no real in
! teatiOu Of continuing N. Bordeaux in the
ministry of marine and that the announcement
yesterday that he had been derignated was
/ simply meant to give him opportunity for
I voluntary withdrawal When this withdrawal
