Paris, Dec. 30. The Figaro says a
ttook containing copies of the corres
pondence with Herz and Arton, relat
ing to votM in the Senate and Chamber
it Daputies in favor of the Panama
eanal scheme, has been found in the
jffice of the Panama Canal company.
It is said to compromise a large num
fter of senators and deputies. There
are letters demanding maeey, together
with dates on which payments were
made. It will be made the basis of ad
ditional prosecutions. It establishes
the fact that there was a blackmailer
tnd go-between in the corruption of
legislators.
Extreme socialists are again active.
At a meeting of leaders it was decided
to summon the people to meet when
ihe chambers reassemble and appeal to
the army not to take arms agauist the
people.
The official report of Dr. Bronardel,
who had charged of the autopsy on the
body of Baron de Pieinach, was made
public today. It declares the analysis
at the stomach reveals not the slight
est trace of poison, and the conclusiou
was reached that bis death was due to
natural causes. The report is re
garded with suspicion from certain
quarters.
There are also not lacking persons
who openly express the belief that
Baron de lieinach was murdered and
the official report to the contrary does
not shake their belief. They argue that
under present circumstances it is the
safer plan for the ministre de autopsie
to settle upon - "natural causes" as the
explanation for the death, rather than
to seek out those who, these persons
;laim, are responsible for the baron's
taking off.
Against all these, however, stands
the reputation of Dr. BrourdeL Those
who know him declare that nothing
the government could offer him would
induce him to attach bis name to a
false report, and if such a report was
secretly decided upon, he would not in
any way be a party to it.
This report is eagerly discussed, ana
in government circles Is (Men to end
forever the question as tclhe baron's
death. The de Reinach family, it is
supposed, will accept the report as final
as it removes from the baron the
stigma of suicide.
The N"w Gold Field..
Denver, Colo., Dec. 30. An evening
paper prints a story of a fight alleged
to have occurred at the new San Juan
gold fields in Southern Utah. It is
rather indefinite, but nothing further
can be learned. The story is a follows:
"There are nearly 1,000 men in the
new fields, and there has been very
little attention paid to the people
staking off claims. The "prospectors
have simply devoted their time to
prospecting and washing the sands ' e
find the most promising locatione.
There have been a few claims staked
out, however, in places where many
colors to the pan have been found.
But the lines of the claims, it is said
were not recorded and c quarrel ensued.
There were some seventeen men en
raged in the conflict, and about 100
.hots were fired, wounding a number
of the combattants and killing a man
whose name is said to be George
Ferguson. No details of the trouble
Siave been secured. The bare infor
mation of the trouble was brought
into Denver by parties from southern
Colorado, who received their infor
mation by way of Bluff City.

Paris, Dec. 30. An explosion a
:30 yesterday morning in the. lial
leading to the court office, betw.en
the ground floor and first story of tie
perfecture of police, has caused a
ensation. The authorities are not
itecided as to whether the explosion
was the work ef an anarchists or
merely an accident caused by a leak
age of gas. An investigation is being
held. The explosion caused no
fatality, but, windows were smashed
and woodwork damaged, and a
jwrUflre'afe Inclined to atfrtSute tli8T
air to anarchists, although not ue-
ided on that point. They think
the explosion has nothing to do
with the recent extradition and
approaching trial of Francois, the
anarchists accused of connection with
the cafe Very explosion'.
An investigation of the premises by
experts has led to the discovery that
the explosion was not caused by gas.
It was undoubtedly the work of
anarchists who had placed in the.
entresol a bomb heavily charged with
cholorate powder. The result of the
investigation has caused considerable
excitement in qfficial circles, where it
is believed that the anarchists, taking
advantage of the confusion attendant
upon the revelations of the Panama
scandal, have started to inaugurate a
reign of terror similiar to that which
prevailed when- Ravachol and his
colleagues caused the explosions here
when many of the wealthy residents of.
the city hastily packed their household
effects and took refuge in the country,
rhe best detectives in Paris have been
totalled on the case and the arrests of
anarchists are certain to follow.

Dentek, Colo, Dec. 31. C. E.
Parsell, an old-time prospector in Colo
rado and Utah, arrived in Denver yes
terday direct from the San Juan river,
the scene of the latest gold excitement.
Mr. Parsell has been working placer
claims on Colorado river for two years
and is thoroughly acquainted with that
country.
He says the rush of gold hunters to
the diggings is something tremendous;
claims have been staked out on the
San Juan river for seventy-five miles
from its mouth and twenty-five miles
up the Colorado river. Men are pour
in& from Colorado. Utah and Arizona
and staking claims over each other,
Trouble is bound to follow.
Mr. Parsell says there is plenty of
gold along the San Juan river, where
bedrock is reached. The gold is coarse,
one nugget be saw weighing five
ounces. One trouble is lack of water.
and it will cost money to work many of
the claims. Living is enormously
high. People who have taken supplies
in with them will not sell at any price,
and thoso who did not are suffering.
Men are sleeping under the rocks, there
being no materials at hand with which
to build houses, and tents being a
luxury they did not provide themselves
with, so great was the hurry to reach
the scene of excitement. Mr. Parse!!
says he saw many men making $lo a
day panning out dirt, but that a great
deal of ground can only be worked at
great expense, He is in the city pur
chasing machinery for claims owned
by parties here.
Killed by a Traluu.
Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 31. Tester,
day morning the railway station at
Brighton, on the Sacramento & Placer
ville road, burned to the ground.
Search was made for Miss A. K.
Ayers, the telegraph operator, and her
remains were found in a corner of the
ruins where the bed bad been. The
body was unrecognizable. The skull
was found in pieces near the body and
a pistol was picked up only a few feet
away. Miss Ayers was reputed to have
considerable money, but always said
she did not fear to live there alone.
Three tramps were lounging about
the station yesterday, and late in the
afternoon Miss Ayers ordered them
away. The theory is that they are
implicated in the c tragedy, though
some people profess to believe that
Miss Ayers committed suicide while
despondent. The deceased was 35
years of age and her mother resides
near Stanton, Neb.
Want's America's Protection.
San Francisco, Cal. Dec. 31.
Captain M. White of the schooner
Maid of Orleans arrived forty days
from the Gilbert islands. He brings
some interesting news about the
sland over which the British es
tablished a protectorate last June.
Old King Lebureimoa, who had just
returned from a visit to San Francisco
protested against the usurpation by
tlie British, as lie preferred the
Americans, and wished to have the
United States extend protection to
him. After the British annexed the
islands the king sent an appeal to
President Harrison, but his appeal was
kept htre-by Captain Luttiell who
feared that if lie went east and was
publisbed in Europe it would lead to
the king's deposition. Captain While
says that for three dajs before the
Vessels sailed the king spent Ids time
on board begging him to do something
in this country to restore tha islands lo
their former condition . It seems the
natives have been so excited since tiie
British protectorate that they have
refused to gather any co;jia. 'J.ey

public resort. There is some doubt in
:lie public mind as to whether the out
rage was the work of anarchists. Some
people, and not a few, claim that the
anarchists, though they take to them
selves the credit of having caused the
explosion, claim nothing whatever to
do with the affair, and declare that the
outrage vvas due to personal spite on
tbe part of a discharged employe.
Whatever the truth of the matter,
the anarchists have taken advantage
of tbe occasion to. issue a manifesto
couched in the usual blatant and ab
surdly ferocious style of those docu
ments. The wrongs of the people, fire,
blood and dynamite are expatiated up
at length, but the substance of the
manifesto is that the time has come for
people to rise in their might and
strike for freedom. .

An Old Lady In the Pulpit.
An old lady, who lived in the coun
try, and never attended any place of
worship, was persuaded by a Method
ist minister to go and hear a well
known preacher on the following Sun
day. "But I don't know where to sit,
sir," she told him.
"Oh, if you go up the first steps
youconie to, after entering the chapel"
(meaning the stairs leading up to the
gallery) "you may sit anywhere you
like." said the minister.
She thanked him for his informa
tion, and when Sunday came put
on her best clothes and went to the
chapel.
Somehow she missed the gallery
6teps, and, entering the body of the
building, she looked about for some,
and, going up the first she saw, she
plumped down into a comfortable
chair which she found at the top.
First a surprised look went round
among the worshipers assembled,
then a titter ran through the whole
of the large congregation, which
nearly broke out into a hearty laugh
when the preacher, going into the
pulpit found an old lady in it, who
said to him in an audible whisper:
"I didn't know you took sittings
here, sir."
Whereupon he explained that he
was the preacher, and that this was the
pulpit where he stood to preach from.
"Oh, all rignt, sir. iou can go on.
I won't disturb you," she replied,
without attempting to move.
This quite took the solemnity out
of the severest face in the place, and
the preacher, after a moment, during
which he was endeavoring to repress
his laughter, tried to make it clear to
her that it would be inconvenient for
him if she remained in her place.

Washington. Jan. 1 Most ef the
people in Washington interested in the
gossip relating to Mr. Cleveland s eabi
net Jioosing have settled down to the
belA that Senator Carlisle is to be sec-
reaiffy of the treasury in the next ad
ministration. They are more 'inclined
to this from the fact that the choice of
Senator Carlisle would prove satisfae
tor to every one.
tuong the guesses for the other de
partments are the names of ex-Minister
Phelps of Vermont, for secretary of
state, who divides with Don M. Dickin
son, in the Washington mind, the best
chance for that portfolio. Representa
tive Herbert of Alabama aud ex-Private
Secretary Laruont are both talked of
for the navy department. General
Patrick Callins of Uostoa, U talked of
for secretary of war. For the depart
ment of juttic the names most generally
mentioned are those of Representative
Culde.tson, of Texas; Martin F. Morrill,
of this city; Representative Wilson, of
West Virginia, and Hon. J. Randolph
Tucker, of Virginia.
Representative dlount of Georgia,
who has served for many years on the
committee on postr olfices and post-
roads in the house of representatives,
is talked of for the iiaad of the .ost
oflice department, and he may get the
place if Mr. Herbert from the adjoin,
ing state does not get the navy depart
ment. He might be appointed any
how, though it is thought to be more
probable than in tbe event of the se
lection of Mr. Herbert a western man
like ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio,
who, however, says positively that he is
not a cabinet possibility, will be ap
pointed. For the interior, department,
Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, Mr. Gray, of
Indiana, aud other men from the west
ern states are talked of, and the
agriculture department, it is said, will
go to Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, or to
