HERR WITHOUT FRIENDS.
All Parties in Paris Are Furious Against
Him.


Him.
PARIS, Jan. 21.-Allparties are furious against
DR.. Herr. The "Panamaites," as they are
called, are enraged against him for the share he
is alleged to have taken in betraying them to
Andrieux and assisting the e1-prefect in the ex-
posures which have caused much scandal
while those who were not implicated in the
scandal would like to see the chief RESPONSE
bility for the disgrace laid upon foreigner,
and German at that.
The authorities appear determined to show
bv then energy in obtaining evidence against
Herr that they are in earnest in their effor. to
procure his extradition. NJ. Clemenceau was
confronted yesterday with NJ. Stephane with
the view Of eliciting. if possible. some acknowl-
edgemeIts that might be sent to London to
strengthen the case against Herr.
Clemenceau stoutly maintained his denials Of
any knowledge Of corrupt or criminal conduct
on the part of Herr or anybody else. and used
language that in other places would have been
promptly followed by challenge or a duel.
