MINIsTERIAL CRISIS IN FRANCE
The Steele Predicting tho Cabinets Dis.oIu-
tion within Twenty -four Hours.

PARIS, Jan. H. - Tho question OF the
Ministerial crisis Is discussed everywhere.
and tho general impression prevails that
the Cabinet can scarcely remain in office
after the unfavorable reception OF their pro-
gramme in the Chambers. The Steele. in
deed. expresses the opinion that the Ministry
cannot survive more than twenty-four hours.
In some quarters 1t Is said that n crisis will
cnsue Immediately; that President MacMahon
will summon NJ. Gambctta, and, in tho event Of
his refusing to form a Cabinet. President Mac
Mahon will resign. On the othcr hand. II is
believed by some that il NJ. Gambetta shall re-
fuse to form Il Cabinet. President MacMahon
will not resign. but will request NJ. Dufaurc to
form now Ministry. 1t is pointed out, how
ever. in Parliamentary circles. that according
to strict Parliamentary rules there can be no
other President Of tho Council than NJ. Gam
bctta since he at the present moment practi-
cally holds the post. In spite. however. OF tho
language of the Republican journals and the
generally prevailing impression. there Is q
somewhat strong belief ir wcll-intormed circles
that the Ministry will obtain minority In the
Chnmber Of Deputies after the debate which
begins on MONDAY.

The capital omission from the statement was
the promise of dismissal from olIlcc without
which nothing can save the Cabinet. The Re-
puhlicnns after eight years impatient waiting,
now wish e. install themselves. and no Cabinet
cnn lgst except on condition Of making tcrri-
