The crowd Of callers with pockets full Of pa

The appointment of the higher officials is de-

files are being packed as tight as cotton under

The fight between the friends of Attila Coz

his assistant secretaries.
At this time the only representatives of the
new administration in the department are the

cited crowds. There has not been such
excitement in Paris since the beginning OF
the Panama scandal. The crowds were
composed of all classes from the
militant socialist to the wealthy merchant and
hnancier. and there was an ominous murmur OF
angry talk and a menscing frown on the faces
of the lower classes in the throng that reminded
of the days preceding the commune.
The court room was thronged with as
many as could obtain admittance.
The prisoners seemed themselves re-
vived by the new interest which their
-ase had awakened. and some thought
hat the features of Chas. de Lesseps bore a
ook Of triumph, while even Baihaut looked less
crushed than at any time previous since his
pitiful confession.
Desjardins ordered that III. Bourgeois, the late
minister of justice. should be summoned to tes-
