FRANCE.
THE NEW MINISTER'S.

We give below brief sketches of the two new
members of the French Ministry appointed by
N. Theirs to succeed n. Picard and General
Lefe:-
M. Victor Lefranc, Minister of the In
terror.
NJ. Lefranc, who has succeeded NJ. Picard as
Minister of the Interior, was born at Garsin, in
the Bases Pyrenees, on the I'd of March, 1909.
He received q good education, but was not
prominent in politics until after the Revo-
luton of 1848, when he was elected to the
Constituent Assembly, avowedly as repre-
sentative of the party of order, but really
as q supporter of the restoration of monarchy.
He supported Louis Napoleon against the Reds
until the real designs of the President became
apparent when he at once wentinto opposition.
At the time of the dispersion of the Assembly,
when a number of the Representatives met at
the Mayeralty of the Tenth ACCOMPLISHMENT nd
decreed the deposition of Louis Napoleonl NJ.
Lefranc was not present. After their arrest,
however, he, with Bixio went to MaZas Prison
voluntarily and enrolled himself prisoner. He
was soon released, however when he went in to
retirement, from which he did not emerge until
after the overthrow of the empire last Septem-
ber. M. Lefranc is probably an Orleanist, but
of that there is no certainty. He is said to be q
man of ability but to be lacking in frmness
and decision of character.
General Courtot de Cissey, Minister of War
Probably the most extraordinary appointments
ever made by VI. Theirs is that of General Cis-
sey as Minister of War TO succeed General
Lefo, named Minister to Russia. Leho Is one
of the most pronounced of anti-Bonapartsts;
Cissey is, or at least was, warm adherent of
the Napoeonic dynasty. He Is man in the
prime of life, and was born in Northern France.
He studied at the Ecole Militaire, and after
graduating, was commissioned sous lieutenant
and sent to Africa, where, in the endless wars
with the Arabs, he won reputation and promo
ton. During the Crimean war he served with
credit, as also during the war in Italy, winning
the rank of brigadier-general and subsequently
that of general of division. For three or
four years previous to the outbreak of
the war of 1870 he was in command
of one of the military divisions of France,
the last being the Sixteenth division, with head
quarters at Rennes. No greater proof can be
found of his Hapoleonic sentiments than the
fact Just stated. On the declaration of hos
tilities his division, with the Fifth corps, to
which it belonged was sent to Metz, and Gene
raj Cissey participated in all the battles at
and around that city. He surrendered with Ba-
zaine, and remained in Germany on parole, when
he returned to France. The conspicuous part
he took in suppressing the Commune rebellion
in Paris is too recent to need rehabilitation.
Unless the sentiments of General Cissey have
changed since September last he is still Bona
partist, and with his appointment as Minister
of War the entire military government of
France has been placed in the hands of the ad-
herents of Napoleon.

The Insurance Convention.
Mr.. Caldwell presented minority report on
taxes, fees, and deposits, recommending that
any company doing business in any other State
than that in which it may be organized should
be taxed only upon the amount of premiums
received, after deducting commissions and
losses actually paid in such State,
and that tax of three per cent. upon such net
receipts in addition to the departmental fees
would be equitable, and life accident insurance
companies should only be subjected to such tax
alton as the State in which they are organized
may deem proper. The question of deposits
should be left entirely to the State in which
companies are organized.

Views of the Treaty of Washington.
HALIFAX, June 1.-The Washington Treaty
continues to be discussed by the newspapers.
The Colonist and Express approve of the treaty,
and the Chronicle and Recorder treat the sub
iect from party views. The Reporter partly
approves and disapproves of the treaty, express
ing desire to see more favorable conditions to
the portion relating to the fisheries. In the
latter paper last evening the following telegram
from one of the Ottawa Cabinet appears
respecting the fisheries Will be accepted or rejected
by the Canadian Parliament next session. Govern
ment and Parliament are quite free 10 deal with 1t
as the interests OF Cal ada may require"
The Citizen has an editorial this morning
which proceeds the presumption that the
functions of Parliament have been assumed by
the Canadian Government by whom it affirms
the treaty has been ratified.
OTTAWA, June 1.-The Government papers
seem to foreshadow the intended policy of Sir
John A. Macdonald and Cabinet with reference
to the Washington treaty. The Times says
Neither the Government of Canada, as a whole,
nor Sir John A. Macdonald, as first Minister, are
committed to the treaty. They have taken care
to reserve to themselves the right of the most
complete freedom of action" The Citizen says:
Macdonald displayed sound judgment in
avoiding the extremes and taking more mode

the treaty was with reluctance and reserya-
