 NJ. Br1sson was finally prevailed upon to form a Cabinet, and the names of the new members have been off cially announced. M. Brissou is Pres ident of the Council and Minister of Justice and DeFreycinet, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
 The new ministry has undertaken a herculean task as will be seen from the following declaration of the policy agreed upon: The revision of the constitution of 1881; the abolition of the Senate; the hberty of the press; sesularizahon of religious property; the separation of church and State; reform of the judiciary; compulsory education; taxation for revenue and the reduction of taxes upon articles of food,
