To Overthrow the French Republic Has
Been Unearthed.
PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE great excitement
and interest in the scandal investigation
still continues unabated.
To-day it is reported that ther" Is am
ole proof OF a conspiracy on the part OF
Royalists to overthrow the government
aud many arrests will be made imme-
diately.
The plot was Matched I'm London and
Madrid and was soon to be brought To a
head.
IL is known that the Count OF Paris,
who for long time has been very
economical, has suddenly become very
lavish in his expenditures, and IL Is be-
lieved that he is the prime mover in the
conspiracy.
The Socialists and Royalists have been
working together, and it is asserted that
the Mason du Peupe in this city has
been their headq narters aud the scene OF
their consultations.
Through their spies there the police
have learned of the scheme and promise
some very interesting Developments.
Many prominent Royalists are said TO
be implic lted

The entire bay is one solid sheet of ice
exten ding far beyond Dutch Island. In
the vicinity of Beaver Tail, large blocks
of floating ice have clustered together
and frozen fast. forming u solid barrier
TO the navigation OF even the heaviest
vessels In the vicinity of Providence
and in some portions of the bay, the Ice
has attained a depth Of II feet gradual y
thinping out ms it approaches Plum
Beach. In some spots IL is showing al
ready, signs of rottenness. but the great, r
part Of the bay is as solid as If built OF
stone. Few boats are a. tempting 20 navi-
gate. The steamer Pequot sailed for
New York last night under circum-
stances of great difficulty. Every precau-
tion was taken by means of iron sheaths
to render her IA impregnable as possible.
Smaller sailing craft have abandoned all
attempts TO clear the port until the
weather moderates.
The suspension of traffic has caused
great Inconvenience to the local mer-
chants. A meeting was held yesterday
and it was decided To present a petition
TO the city council requesting that body
to make Immediate provision for sending
out heavy boat to break the ice sufiic-
ently to allow passage for incoming
boats. IL will take several days Of mod
crate weather to render navigation possi-
BILE, and the merchants are impatient OF
delay.
The schooner ID. S. Williams, which
left Baltimore for Providence twenty
days ago is supposed To be lost No It'd
ings have been received from her since
she l. Baltimore. She WAS In poor con
Gition when she sailed and it Is feared
that she has met with some seri Gus ac-
cident.
