Thers, 10 we believe, grave probabilitysthat
the United States will prohibit or restrict im-
migration. Tbs idea suggested by the Sc
cretary Of the Treasury, Mr.. Foster, in his an
nual Report, is to tax every immigrant in IL

sage money charged for America and for
Australia, bat the ultimate proposal will, it
is believed, be stronger than that. Mean
while, Senator Chandler, in view of the prob
able outburSt of Cholera next year, has intro
ducsd a bill stopping immigration for twelve
months. and public opinion is favourable to
the measure. The shipping companies are
furious, but the western men care nothing
about maritime interests, and are determined
to stop the arrival of Italians and Hungarian

spectator, 17th Dec.)

. Paris has had another great excitement this
week from the Panama Scandal. On Monday,
the Figaro, which is acting as informal
Public Prosecutor in he affair, published an
article stating that NJ. Rouvi9r, the Minister
Of Finance, and NJ. Cl6menceau, the leader
of the Radical Left, passed most of Noyem-
Der 18th, the day before his death, with
Baron Reinach, consulting how his interests
might best be defended against the Court
inquiring into Panama affairs. NJ. Cl6mon-
ceau Immediately published an explanation,
which will be found elsewhere, which OK
onerated himself, but which confirmed the
story in essentials as regarded M. Rouvier.
The latter Immediately handed in his resign4-
ton, in order. as he said in the evening in
the Chamber not to compromise his col
leagues; and it was accepted by NJ. Carnot. after,
1t Is said, a "Scene of much animation in the
Cabinet" NJ. Rouvier then proceeded to
state his case in the Chamber, his defence
being substantially that he had tried to shell
ter Baron Reinach from motives Of pity, and
that he was a victim of calumny provoked
by his ten years Of service as a Munster in
seven departments. AS, however. it was
clear. that M. .Rouvier had tried to s'ife a
judicial inquiry ordered by his colleagues,
his story was received with chilling silence,
and he stepped down from the tribune politi-
cally a ruiqsd man. On the following day,
he gave evidence before the Panama Commit
tee; but it only confirmed his own previous
statements, besides betraying someremarkable
failures of memory. He has been succeeded
by Nj Tirard, who was summoned from Brus-
sells by telegraph, and who, it is said, OILY
accepted the post of Finance Minister un16r
a definite threat from the President that,
in the event of a refusal, he would himself
resign.

in Lady Miles's' dressing leom, though not
required for the safe, which was left upiocked,
had been used to force open a jewel casket,
from which some Of the most valuable Jewels
were secured.
One theory is that, as the doors Of the
large hall were left open, one of the burglars
might have boldly entered tie hall, risking
his being taken for a visitor. and thus got
into tile bedroom and lowered the spoil through
the dressing room window to a companion,
outside by means of the rope found in the
room, aud then made his escape through the
hall, as there are no traces Of a ladder having
been placed against the window. Leigh

Another correspondent says the burglary at
Leigh Court near Bristol on SUNDAY night
. was Enthusiastically the work Of more Than one
skilful thief. 1t was patiently plannod'and
carefully carried out. The burglars by their
movements showed q remarkable knowledge
of the locality aud of the habits of the
household, and they have disappeared with
their booty without leaving the slightest clue
behind them. The whole Of Lady Miless
jewellery was not obtained by the robbers.
but the articles carried of, a:e valued at
nearly $4,000. One piece alonn, a pearl
necklace Of UNI que design, is believed TO have
no equal Eng land, and to be worth. nearly.
10000. From the act that some of the
jewellery was found on the floor of her Lady
shil Is dreesing-room and bedroom it is sur'
missed that the burglars were distul bed just
as they were completing their n%e!farious work,
but there is ne other evidence in support Of
the idea.

owing to the continued ill-health of his wifi,
slowly sinks deeper and deeper in the social
scale, until he finds himself in a lodging
house with his wife, pennilsss, hopeless, and
starving. Then comes the sternest struggle
