PANAMA HXPOSuRn.

Delahaye Claims to Have Received a
Commission for Bringing 1t About.
PARIS, Jan. 6-M. Delahaye publishes
this morning an important letter narrating
how he received commission to expose the
Panama scandal A certain person came TO
him, he says, with a fac sinile Of the
original list of 1872 senators and deputies
who had accepted Panama bribes. The list
was shown to him, however, upon condition
that he would not reveal the
names, but merely take steps TO compel the
Chamber OF De- uties itself to undertake the
exposure. M. Delahaye says that subse-
quent events amply confirm all the state
ments of his informant. He adds that much
more remains to be revealed.
Several newspapers this morning predict
the arrest OF more deputies and senator's on
next Monday.
The police we're busy between / and 8
o'clock this morning destroying incendiary
placards posted by anarchists. These
placsrds called upon the people to rise at
once, seize arms. destroy their corrupt OPP
pressors and seize the reips Of government.
A feeling Of alarm was apparent through
out the city last evening and Is likely to in
crease to-day in consequence OF prophecies
of the press that the worst Developments
are to come. Gen. Saussier, military gov
ernor of the city, has taken every possible
precaution. The city would be safe were it
not for general conviction that the gov
ernment Is playing fast and loose in the
Panama matter.
Tho laxity of the governments conduct
Of the prosecution is q subject OF universal
comment.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Jan. g. - The

night worn out and disgusted, having trav-
eled nearly 100 miles with horses and In a
continuous snow storm. They say there
has been no trouble whatever at Bakers.
Vile, nor is there reason to expect any.
A story dated Marion, N. c., in precisely
similar tones to that from johnson City was
telegraphed Wednesday TO western Dews-
papers. A johnson City man claimed to be
acting under authority of one of the execut-
i've officers Of the Southern Associated Press
and when that gentleman's attention was
called TO the fact he denied any knowledge
Of the correspondent and denounced him as
an impostor. For several days previous
to Wednesday western newspapers had been
advised Of expected trouble at Bakersville
and called upon the press associations for
reports. These we're furnished by the John
son City man and along with the particulars
came demand for remittance. Bakers vile
is very inaccessible, and is twenty>seven
miles from the nearest railroad station or
telegraph office. and 1t has been a work of
extreme difficulty to secure an authoritative
denial Of the reports of the alleged battle.

to confirm the statements made, but replied
to requests for further Authorization by
stating that the roads to BakerBville were
blocked and impossible. In the meantime
means had been resorted to of ascertaining
the actual facts, aud this morning the fol-
lowing message was received from re-
sponsible citizen OF johnson City: Your

AUGUSTA, GA. Jan. "a sensational
case occurred in the postofiice In Augusta
to-day. For months past Postmaster Dem
ming has been paralyzed and unable to leave
his house. Assistant Postmaster Ed Stall.
inRs has been in charge Of the oilice. Miss
Mary A. Freeman is the general delivery
clerk. She has been during Mr. Denning's
illness going to the postmaster's house two
or three times week and aiding in sitting
up with him. Two nights ago Postmaster
Denning told Miss Freeman to tell the
janitor to bring some curtains, waste
basket and two pictures, his in
dividual property, down to his house,
out of the private office at the postofiice.
Miss Freeman had this done. and Assistant
StallinRs became quite indignant when he
found the things had been removed. He dis
charged Miss Freeman as the result OF IL.
Last night whom Miss Freeman saw POST
master Dsnnin2 he told her that Mr..
Stallings had no right TO discharge her
without his sanction, and he told her to re-
turn to her post. This morning Miss Free
man returned to work. and on Mr..
Stallings' arrival ut the Office he became
very indignant at finding her at work and
ordered her to leave, which she declined
to do.
ELECTED BY FORCE.
Therenpon Mr.. Stallings forcibly elected
her. A little later NJ i. Freeman. brother
Of the lady, called at the postoffice and de-
manded an apology to his sister from Mr..
Stallings. A difficulty ensued in which
Freeman was cut across the nose once or
twice with penknife. Stallngs was not
hurt. He was subsequently arrested and
and gave bond. The action of Mr.. Stallings
in forcibly eiecting Miss Freeman from the
office is universally condemned, though he
contends that he simply led her out by the
arms and was scratched and struck several
times while doing 80 by Miss Freeman.
Mr.. Stallings maintains that he was obliged
to maintain discipline in the office aud could
not permit an employe whom he had dis
charged TO defy his authority. The affair
has created a sensation and IL is not possible
