GAMBETTA AND THE AMNESTY
despatch from Paris to the Times says =
an. Gambetta has returned to Paris An even
ing paper states that M. Gambctta is opposed
to rcopening the amnesty question, and that he
disclaims responsibility for the utterances Of the
Republique Francaise. But, whether NJ. Gam
beta opposes or supports amnesty, the Chamber
OF Deputies will certainly reject it. The Ministry
will not need to make it a Cabinet question.
They have strengthened themselves and have
treasured the moderate men by the recent
prosecutions. 1t seems also quite settled that
clause seven Of Jules Ferry's Educational
bill will not be made u Cabinet question. Thus
the Cabinet will not fall on the two questions
which menaced it, though if it lives through the
coming session of the Chambers France will
certainly show itself country of surprises
