PARIS, Jan. 14.--There is profound
relief in republican circles today over
the statement of Charles de Lesseps
duplicating Arthur Meyer, editor of the
Gaulois, rs having received 100000
francs from the Panama company.
This at last brings the royalists into
the drag net and shows. what the re-
publicans have claimed from the begin
ming Of the scandal, that republican
officials and journalists did not have
monopoly of Panama corruption. The
fact that four Boulangist deputies are
said to be put under strong suspicion
by evidence before NJ. Franqueville is
also considered as strengthening the
cause of the republic, by showing the
hypocrisy of those who assail it. :
The government has also been consid-
erably strengthened 10y the speech of
Chancellor Won Caprivi on the army
bill. This has i'm large degree di-
verted attention from Panama affairs
and aroused deeper interest in for

against their enemies abroad, The sit

STATE BAR CONVENTION.
Wisconsin Lawyers Havs Plan to Choose
Suprems Judge.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. IA plan
to call general state convention in
place of the convention that has
been called for January 90 to take
action in the supreme judgeship matter
is under consideration. 1t is not pro-
posed to change the date, bat simPly -to
make it convention of the entire
Wisconsin bar, without fixing any par
ticular basis of representation. 1t is
thought by good many lawyers both
in Milwaukee and elsewhere that some
arrangement can be made that will be
satisfactory to the friends of both
Judge Marshall and Judge Webb, ami
q committee, of which General Wink
Ter Is chairman, is corresponding on
the subject with supporters of both
candidates. 1t Is thought likely that
an agreement to change the character
of the convention will be made because
it has already been demonstrated that
the call that has been issued for the
meeting of January 26 will cause more
or less difficulty in settling the matter
of representation.
