the past week.
As the train bearing King Alfonso TO
the frontier left the station in Paris His
Majesty requested General Pittie, Secre-
tary of President Grevy, to inform the
President that he left him with deep
sense of his courtesy. Prime Minister
Ferry had an interview with President
GreYY this morning. 1t is reported that
several members of the Cabinet intend To
offer their resIgnatioas.
No member of the Cabinet has actually
resigned. A crisis is as vet latent. but
the differences existing between General
Thebaudin and his colleagues are notori-
Gus, and his resignation may be regarded
as certain. Challomel Lacour, Minister
OF Foreign Affairs, and another Minister
intend to resign on the ground of
i'll health. 1t is believed that
Prime Minister Ferry has fully
explained to President Greyy the position
of the Ministry. lie Temps says that the
manifestation on Saturday was directed
more against the Cabinet than King AL
f0nso, who, happening to appear during
the violent scene or internal politics, was
made the scape-gOat Of the latter. A
settlement of the Ministerial difficulties
has been postponed until a meeting of the

with having supplied his journal, Il Petite
france, with inspired news matter before it
was published in the JOlrndJ Ofieidl. NJ.
Wilson with his wife and child,
lives at the Elysee Palace with President
Grevy. Another dispatch to the same com
pany says that President Grevy is much
affected by the treatment received by
King Alfonso in Paris, and it is said that
he even Intimated at one time that he in
tended to resign the Presidency. 1t is
stated that the violent feud which exists
between NJ. Wilson and Prime Minister
Ferry has caused dissensi0n between the
President and NJ. Ferry in relation to
King Alfonso's visit.
StIll another Paris dispatch states that
NJ. Waldrek Rousseau, Minister of the
Interior, has ordered that an inquiry be

with unbounded enthusiasm by the crowd
in waiting. On parting ut the frontier
with his French escort, the King bade the
Aide-de-camp of President GreYy to con-
vey his thanks to the President for the
cordial welcome he gave him in Paris.
BERLIN, Oct. 2.-The newspapers here
regard the insults heaped upon King AL
fonsO in Paris as moral defeat of France,
and no power, they say, would now wish
for an alliance with her. The insults to
the Spanish King were, in their opinion,
more directly aimed against Germany,
who considers them sign of weakness.
