PARIS, September 20.-At Cabinet
council, Saturday last, to consider the
resignation oi COnstans, ,Cazptan Fare,
Premier DeFrevcinet said the only diff
iicuitv was the embarrassment IN which
the suspension OF the DEGREES placed
Constans, because the latter had already
issued instructions TO the Ptrlects which
would now have TO be countermanded.
That could be smoothed over by Con.
stans submitting to the Cabinet a list OF
the religious establishments. lie
nroposed TO close without awaiting the
decision of the Tribunal OF COnillcts,and
the Cabinet could discuss and decide on
each proposal. As some OF the congre-
| cations, such as the PaSsionlsts, Tor m
stance, are not recognized by the Nati-
can the dccrees mi.ht be enforced
against them without difficulty.
Constans accepted this proposal and
the designations were Withdrawn.
An hour later DeFreycinet learned
that note cminating from the Minister
OF the Interior had been sent through the
Hayas agency stating that DeFreyclnet
had capitulated leaving Constans free to
deridc on the opportune enforcement oi
the decrees DeFreycnet demanded that
thr denial of this be pub ished in the
Journal Ofiral, but Constans and C?zot
Objected. Drfrcycinet then informed
President Grevy that his Premier
RESIGNATION would be the easiest way oi
solving the crisis. This difference with
Coustans was ostcnsible the reason OF
DcFrevcinct's resignation, but the ieai
rea,ol evidently was that DeFreyclnct
had no choice between submission and
resignation.
