PARIS, July 1.-THE Committee of Thirty or
Constitution bills, held an important sitting to-
day. FoulOn, Minister Of the Interior, appea rec
and presented the views of the Government
ne SAID the Government would accept bill
drawn up by the committee, which provides for a
continuance of the title of President of the
Republic for the creation of second Chamber
and for the organization Of personal Septenate
to terminate with the expiration Of MacA[ahon's
seven years term or sooner in ca sc of his rcsio
nation or death but it was desirable that certail,
provisions which required immediate action
should be embodied in separate measure for
speedier passage by the Assembly, and Foulon
speclhed them, as follows
l. Deputies should be elected for separate
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, instead Of departments, for it
was necessary TO keep in mind the possibility of
the dissolution Of the Assembly.
2. In the creation Of the Second Chamber the
Government especially wished that the President
should be empowered to nominate a considerable
proportion Of its members.
- The Government insists that power be given
to the President to dissolve the Lower Chamber,
| but as the manner Of the appointment Of the
| members OF the Upper House is not decided
upon, 1t cannot say whether that power should
be exercised without the cooperation of the
| latter.
Government was not DESTROYS Of interfer-
ing with the duty of the Assembly
in framing Constitution, but merely pointed
out what it considered the essential points,
tull expression would be given to its opinions in
debate when the subject came before the As
sembly.
The Legitmsts are irrltated by the Presidents
message, and are resolved to oppose the personal
septenmte.
New YORK, July 1.-THE fire which broke ont
in Weehawken last evening, was in the Erie OH
Works; 1t was caused by stroke Of lightning
which struck one of the tanks containing Is 600
barrels Of oil.
During the heavy thunder storm the flames
one fanE flor fbar
flre, until tanks, each containing 1900 barrels
and another containing 1000 barrels, were soon
burning fercely.
Several smaller tanks, containing in all l25. OO0.-
OOO barrels, also took fire about midnight and it
was thought others would have followed. The
lnaccessbity OF the works, and the fact that the
fire has ragged steadily since the commencement.
makes it impossible to give more definite par
ticulars.
The actual loss could not be ascertained as the |
fire is likely to burn all day, but it is estimated
at s6OO, 900. These works are probably the
largest oil works in the United States - all
the OH coming over the Erie railroad being stored
there: The light from the fire Illuminated New
York most of the night One hundred and !
twenty-five men will be thrown out of employ
ment. About one year ago the same works were |
struck by lightning, and one Of the tanks was ig-
nited, but it extinguished with slight loss.
