The new treaty between France and Ger
many, providing for the evacuation of the
French provinces, was signed at Berlin on

ate all places they now hold in France by

The Cabinet crisis in England was termi-
mated on the Goth, by the announcement of
Mr.. Gladstone in the House of Commons
that, the Opposition having refused to form
would resume their offices. Gladstone added
that the Queen had given him permission to
read an extract from the statement he had
made to her Majesty. 1t was to the
effect that he did not suppose
that the efforts of the gentlemen Of the
Opposition to defeat the Government were
made with the deliberate intention of
refusing to organize a cabinet, If it should
be required of them, but the summary
refusal given when the occasion arose he
considered not fully in accord with the
exigencies of the case, nor with parliamenta-
ry usage The Premier's statement was fire.
quently interrupted by applause, which was
warm and long continued at the close.
Dlsraeli explained the course he had thought
proper to pursue since the beginning of the
crisis, He confessed that the difference be-
tween himself and the Irish Catholics were
insurmountable. A new Cabinet would re-
quire until Easter to get into working order.
Even then 1t would have to deal with the
financial estimates made by its predecessor,
and would probably be outyoted
every night in Parliament. A dissolution Of
the House had been suggested. But why
dissolve the slttingS On the Opposition
benches, he heard, his friends had difficulty
in forming policy on SO short notice, and it
was not to be expected that they could ap-
peal to the country without a policy on cues
tions more important than that
of the Irish University bill.
All things considered, he had felt It his duty
to decline the responsibility OF organizing a
new government. The Queen herself had
suggested dissolution of Parliament. He
had declined to advise such a step, and
stated to Her Majesty that in his opinion
there was no adequate reason for the Gov
ernment to resign, and that it might
return to office without the slightest loss
OF honor and to the greatest posi-
BILE convenience Of the public interests.
Disraeli closed with the remark, that pos.
sibly some of his supporters In the House
might be dissatisfied, to which there were
loud cries of "Nol No p In the House of
Lords Earl Granville announced the decision
OF the Government in speech differing but
little FROM that Of Gladstone. The Duke OF
Richmond also defended the conduct of the
leaders OF the Opposition in the crisis.
