Another great scandal is evidently impending in Paris. The Public

Prosecutor, it is stated, is about to proceed against a number of politicians, including, according to the Figaro, MM. Rouvier, Deloncle, Magnier, Jules Roche, Yves Gayot, and a Senator, on a charge of corruption in connection with the "extensions " granted to the Chemins de Fer du Sad. It is said that a statute of limitations will be pleaded ; but this, of course, will not prevent public discussion in the Chamber. Probably no one who read the debates on these extensions doubted that there was corruption somewhere ; but the difficulty is to be sure that the Deputies accused were not duped by intermediaries, of whom M. Reinach was the chief.
