of
Paris, Dor. 15.—At a cabinet meeting
held in the Elysee to-day, M. Bourgeois,
minister of justice, announced that he
would oppose, in the chamber of depu
ties, the proposal of M. Poitrquory de
Boisserin to invest the Panama investi
gation commission with judicial powers.
The members of the parliamentary
commission acknowledge that they
have received valuable help from M.
Prinet, the judge d'instruction, who has
thrown much light on the transactions
of the company. In tiie chamber of
deputies to-day, the government de
manded that tho question be immedi
ately discussed. M. Brisson, president
of the Panama Canal committee,strongly
urged that the committee should bo in
vested with judicial powers, and at
tacked M. liibot, tho new premier, atid
M. Bourgeois, tho minister of justice,
for opposing the proposition.
M. Bourgeois answered in a firm tone,
giving tho reason why the government
opposed tiie proposition. The debate
was the most exciting of the session,
and the desire of some of the Boulang
ists to break up the government was so
manifest that it disgusted many of the
Republicans who might otherwise have
proposals.
Upon a division being taken the govern
ment was supported by a vote of 4*24 to
voted for M. Boi
U pou the conclusion of tho debate the
Chamber, by a vote of 271 to 1G5, refused
to discuss the Boisseriti clauses. The
action was tantamount to a vote of con
fidence in the government.
It is reported that M. Brisson will, in
consequence of his defeat, resign the
presidency of tho J'anama Canal Com
mission.
TESTIMONY BEFORE Tniî COMMITTEE.
The evidence given yesterday before

M. Thicrro of the coulisse firm of Tliierre
& Co., who exchanged with IJarou Do
Hoinach 26 of their own checks for
drawn by the Panama canal on the
Batik of France, for the stun of 3,390,

Drumont's paper, to statu to-day that
the stubs of 26 checks that M. Tliierre
testified ho had destroyed boro initials
in tlio hand writing of Baron Do Beinach.
It adds that among these initials were
those of the names of M. Bouvier,
Emanuel Arena and Jules Roche. In
his testimony yesterday M. Tliierre
stated that the stubs in question bore
certain notes upon which the charge of
bribery may have been founded. Ho
suggested that the committee call on tho
editors of the newspapers which pro

1'ahih, Dec. 20.—M. Floquct, presi
dent of the chamber of deputies,
nounced to the house to-day that he
had received an application for authority
to prosecute M. Bouvier, ex-minister of
finance; M. Jules Hoche, ex-minister of
commerce; Emmanuel Arenc, member
for Corsica; Antoin Proust, member for
Deux Sevres; Baron Jean de Soubeyran,
member for Louden, and Joseph Dttguc
de la Fauconnerie, member for Orne.
This letter, M. Floquet said, was from
the procureur-general. It stated that
the application was made on the ground
that the examining magistrate of the
Panama canal case had received many
check stubs in which appeared the
initials of deputies, and that compro
mising evidence against the individuals
in question had been laid before the
parliamentary investigating commission,
especially as to the part they took in the
lottery issue.
The application could not be granted
without the consent of the house, as the
deputies, under the law, were exempt
from certain legal proceedings. The
chamber decided that the standing com
mittees should meet and consider the
application.
vile sitting then adjourned.
In the sonate M. Le Boyer, the presi
dent, stated that he had received a de
mand for the prosecution of Senators
Bcnault, Albert, Grevy, lierai, Thevonot
and Deves for the part*they had taken
in the affairs of the canal company.
The matter was referred, us in the lower
chamber, to the standing committees.
In the .senate and the lower chamber
special committees were elected to
aider applications of the procureur
general, and both were understood to
favor the prosecution of cx-Minister
Bouvier.

Special Meeting
Major Raymond's Report
Certain DeUnvare River Improvements.
Special Oorrespondeuco of Gazette and Journal
New Castle, Dec. 21.— The city
fathers met lust night and took their
first action in the city market question.
The meeting was called for the especial
purpose of hearing views on the subject
and discussing the matter as fully
possible. "The ordinance to prohibit
huckstering, vending and peddling was
presented to council. The latter body
went into a committee as a whole, and
acted on the document by sections.
The ordinance prohibits the ped
dling f>r hawking through the streets of
any general produce or merchandise of
any description whatever, excepting
fresh fish, milk, ice, oysters,bread, wood
and coal, without first having obtained
a permit from the mayor. r J he costs for
permits are $125 per year for a two
horse team, $100 for a one-horse team
and $75 for a foot wagon. The mayor
is authorized to obtain necessary books
and keep accurate account of all per
mits issued. "All persons having legiti
mate and permanent stores in the city,
and also persons delivering goods to
storekeepers or to other persons, in pur
suance of orders from them, arc exempt
from any and all provisions of the ordi
nance," according to section 5. This i3
the only clause in the ordinance that
was not adopted unanimously, but was
held under consideration until a future
meeting.
The delivering of goods by farmers
and other persons to store-keepers and
dwellers lias given rise to numerous
hitches and complications. Just how
far the law would go and just who this
section would apply to should it be en
forced is the rub and the councilmanic
committee will have to rack their brains
and improve on this section before the
next meeting. There would be a howl
from several different sources should
it be passed in its present shape, while
on the other hand many citizens would
heartily approve of it.
Another section provides that nothing
in the ordinance shall in any way apply
to or be construed so as to prohibit any
person from selling, without any permit,
any or all of the merchandise
tinned in the ordinance on Tuesdays
and Fridays, commencing at 5 o'clock,
a. m.,and continuing throughout the day.
The curbstone market is provided for
the north-cast side of Delaware
street, between Market and Orange, or
the north-west side of Market street,
between Delaware and Harmony. Any
person failing to comply with or violat
ing any provision of the ordinance
shall forfeit and pay a lino of $5, and
in default thereof shall be imprisoned.
The ordinance will have three read
ings before it can become a law, two
months after the date of the lirst read
ing. Before adjourning, the council de
cided to meet in special session on tha
night of December 28th, when it is pro
posed to adopt the document witli the
amendments, and give it its lirst reading.
