GRRMANY,s INTEREST

In the French Scandal-BondhoId oIders
 of the Panama Canal Company
 Make an Appeal for Reorganiza.
 tion.
 BERLIN, Jan. 16.-For a generation Ger many has not felt such intense interest in French affairs as she has felt since the opening of the French chamber. Even Chancellor von Caprivi's speech before the army bill commission has been partially supplanted in the public view by the Pan- anna scandal. The National Zeitung, after describing the anxiety with which news from Paris is awaited here, gays:
 According to latest reports the scandal is becoming world wide. It Is now alleged that Baron Mohrenheim and the American president, congress and press were bribed. station Is sacred. After the French min isters have fallen these men seek to under mine President Carnot's position. It cannot be denied that the republic of 1893 Is bespattered from top to bottom with filth as the the republic of 1193 was be. spsttered with blood. If the republic be overthrown, either a dictatorship of the Boulangist sort, or a aC@sardom of the Ns- poleonic stamp, or clerical monarchy will conjure up still broader and deeper sea of filth in which the blood and money will mingle."
 PARIS, Jan. 15.-Four hundred holders of bonds and shares in the Panama canal to-day passed resolutions in favor of re- organizing the company. Count Keratry was the principal speaker and his sugges- tion that an appeal be made to American capitalists in the interest of the enterprise was approved. The meeting resolved 10 form an executive committee with s25,- GOO, 900 francs capital and the apply for state aid. Count Kerstry was appointed delegate to Washington to open negotia- tions with the United States. Another delegate will be appointed to negotiate with the Colombian goyernment

MIR. BLAINE,s CONDITION.

The Dreaded Sunday Passes Without
 Relapse-Favorable Reports of the
 Patients Strength.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The return of Sunday is looked for with some apprehen- sion in connection with the illness of Mir. Blaine, for the severe relapses which he has recently experienced have occurred on that day. There were no developments to-day, however, other than favorable, and when Dr. Johnston left the house this evening he said he should not return dur ing the night unless especially summoned.
 The first callers of the day were Senator Hale and wife, who came at about 10:30 o'clock and remained half an hour. While they were in the house Drs. Johnston and Hyatt arrived to make their morning visit. Senator Hale told 8 reporter that Mir. Blaine had passed tke most comfortable night he had experienced for many days. At Il o'clock the physicians appeared and handed the following in writing to the re- porters:
 ''Mr. Blaine is as strong and we'll as he was yesterday"
 Dr. Hyatt stated that the condition of the patient was such that he would not visit the house again to-day unless called.
 The wind was keen and cold and as a result the callers to-day were fewer than usual. J. G. Blaine, jr., with friend and Miss Hattie, went out for brief walk In the course of the afternoon. At 5 o'clock inquiry at the door elicited the response that Mir. Blaine had rested comfortably during the day, statement which the ab. sence of the doctors confirmed. At 5:30 pr. Johnston drove up and remained until S:25. As he left he said his patient had passed 8 restful and uneventful day. There had been no apprecisble change in his con- 1ition during the last three days and none was expected. Dr. Johnston stated that to all appearance Mr. Blaine had not lost any strength since his attack last Thurs lay, and on the whole he regarded his con- Hilton as favorable ss could be expected.
 At 2 a. m. the situation at the Blaine residence remains unchanged.

 Masted Schooner.
 BRIDGEPORT. Jan 14.-A vessel of some sort was noticed burning about ten miles out in the sound from this point about 7:S0 o'clock this evening. The conasgra- ton for two hours lit up the vicinity of the sound with 6 brilliant light and pre- sented a most striking sight. Some thought that it was e three masted schooner; while others claimed that 1t was only lighter loaded with barrels. Lighthouse Keeper McNeill. through his glass, said he saw barrels floating about. The hsrbor Is completely ce-bound to- night and it is i'm possible to get boat ready and put out to the wreck. It is thought, however, that the crew got of all right, and unless they were picked up by a passing schooner which some claim to have sesn, they drift ed of toward the Long Island shore. The sound was quite rough and the wind blow ing in that direction. The identity of the vessel cannot be learned at present.
