PARIS. Jan. lS-The republicans are
ignoring personal differences and rally
ing to the cause Of the governments NJ.
Goblet states that he will not associate
himself with a campaign designed to
provoke presidential crisis, This sen.
timent is generally expressed by other
prominent men whom the reactionists
had hoped to attract to their side
through motives OF personal ambition.
In view OF the developments OF the
trial attention has been called TO the
part which Ferdinand dc Lesseps got
the clergy to take in helping his scheme
and which has heretofore almost es-
capped observation. M. de Lesseps and
his whole family went prominently to
high mass ut the Madeline all the time
the bubble was being blown.
Speculation in Panama options, 1t is
said, went on at the vatican. The mar.
quise who left to the pope the mansion
in tho Place do Ia Concorde was advised
by priestly counsellor to convert her
offering OF 10000 francs a year to the
Peters pence fund into Panama paper.
The adviser got q heavy percentage on
tho transaction. OF course the com.
pany was expected to pay heavily and
answered to the expectations. Every
priest who got one OF his flock to take
a bond, or q share, got commission.
The run Of priests on the Panama
offices was so great that arrangements
were being made for a special office and
secretary to receive them when the
collapse came. NJ, dc Lesseps sent out
in the most sensational way brigades Of
the Sisters Of Charity to the hospital at
the canal works.

for Mr.. Camdsn's headquarters. They
are the most conspicuous apartments
in the hotel. The KanaRha statesman
had a purpose in mind. The rooms are
so situated that no one can enter them
without exposing himself to the entire
lobby. Gentlemen who went in and
out Of the rooms under the gaze OF the
public, Mr., Carr knew were to be de-
pended on. Those who kicked about
the publicity Of the approach were
doubtful. Senator Carr was thus en-
abled to tell Just who were to be de-
pended upon.
Now that the senatorial complication
is ended, the slate for the federal offices
is the topic OF discussion. Both the
late senatorial candidates deny that
they have made any pledges, Gilkeson,
OF Hampshire, for collector OF internal
revenue, is the William L, Wilson can

cannot soc tho necessity for the increase
in the school tax.

Czarewitch, in the uniform OF tho West
phalian HuZzars and wearing the order OF
the Black Eagle, conferred on him to-day.
Court Chaplain Dryander awaited the bril-
dal party al the altar in bower OF palms
and chrysanthemums.
The Princess Margaret made her re-
sponses firmly, but in such low tone that
only those in the front seats heard her
voice. As the couple exchanged rings, tho
artillery in the Lustgarden fired thirty-six
salyoes.
The ceremony was followed by the we'd
ding banquet, after which came the fackel-
TAM Chancellor Won Caprlvi was excused

the palaca NJ Empr0ss Frederick EmDe-
ror Williams gift was string Of large dia-
monds, the bridegrooms, five magnificent

The revival OF the fackeltanz, n quaint
custom at Prusslan weddings, has caused
some adverse comment, Us IL Is believed
hardly TO become the dignity Of Ministers
Of State to lead in IL. The dance was
omitted at court ceremonies during the
mourning for Emperor William l., aud
many hoped that II had been performed for
the last time.
