M'4AHoN REFUSES
PARIS, Jan. 2S.-The Soir newspaper pub
fishes the following: cat this mornings cabi.
net council President MacMahon signed a de-
cree making changes in the magistracy, but
when the question was raised of changes in the
great military command, he said he could not
assent to such resolutions, and must decline to
disorganize the army. He would leave the re-
sponsibility for such steps to others. With
these words the marshal quilted the hall of the
council This statement has everywhere pro-
duced the greatest excitement. The groups of
the left appear determined to impeach the min
istry of the 10th of May. If they do, the Du-
foure cabinet will resign.
TIE BREACH.
PARIS, Jan. 2S.-A conference of presidents
and influential members of the bureau, and
a majority in the senate and chamber of depu-
ties was held tonight. The ministers who were
present confirmed the report that President
MacMshon had refused to sign tEe decree rela-
tive to the great military commands. The con-
ference replied to the ministers that the ma
| jority did not wish to overthrow President Mac
| Mahon, bot would accept his resignation if he
offered it, and pressed the ministers to urgently
renew their representations to him in favor Of
signing the decree. The conference expressed
the opinion that in the event of his persisting
in his refusal, the ministers should ex PLAIN the
| situation to the chambers and tender their res
ignations.
IMPEACHMENT.
! LONDON, Jan. ga Paris correspondent tel
egraphs that the forthcoming motion for the
Impeachment of the ministry on the 16th of
May is the work of Gambetta, who, after the
late vote of confidence, said he was preparing
| plenty of surprises for the cabinet. If the mo-
tion is passed. as it is certain to be in the pres
| Of hOth tha oab or,1
dent MacMahon will resign. The private resi-
dence of the marshal has been in readiness for
occupation since Monday. The CORE
spondent believes the cabinet might obtain a
majority on this question if it accepted two or
three members Of the pure left as colleagues,
and adds shat reconstruction of the cabinet
| is the only means of avoiding disruption ex-
ecutive and general panic. Gambetta counts
upon NJ. Grevy to replace MacMahon, but it is
| doubtful whether GrcvY would be an accom-
plice to the intrigue.

commission that according to official date the
| plague has not spread beyond the originally in
! tested districts. Moreover, the Russian au-
thoritles have commenced to inclose those To-
| calities by double Gordon of military. The
