nl0mentai1ly more intense. MODS OF excited
men have been parading the streets all day,
calling down all sorts Of execrations on the
Government for Its shameful Chinese cam
paign.
The recent French reverses in China seem
to put the populace beside themselves with
rage, and nothing less than the immediate
resignation of the Ferry Ministry will ap-
pease their anger. A bowling mob has as
sembled In front of the Chamber of Deputies.
The crowd has repeatedly endeayored to
enter the building, but each time have been
driven back by strong force of military.
In the Chamber the scene was one Of tho
widest confusion and perfect pandemOn-
ium prevailed. Members Of the Right were
fercely attacking the Government for its
duplicity in keeping the country in ignorance
of the true state Of affairs until It could no
longer be kept back and until the few loyal
soldiers of France sent against the Chinese
hordes had been sacrificed.
The tumult on the floor was greatly inten-
siied by the occupants of the gallery who
loudly applauded every speech against the
Ministry and intespersed 1t with cries OF

In the midst OF the turmoil, NJ Ferry rose
10 announce the decision of the Council Of
Ministers held yesterday morning. He was
greeted with a storm of Misses from all parts
of the Chamber. Silence was finally re-
stored but the Premier had no sooner con-
ciuded his remarks than the tumult broke
out again. The Right, almost In a body,
yelled, "Down with the wretch" Hardly
had this utterance escaped the lips Of the
former supporters of the Government than
NJ. Clemenceau, the chief leader Of the Rad
icaS, was upon his feet and pointing in the
direction Of the Right denouncing them as
traitors
The noisy scene was momentarily brought
TO an end by motion Of one Of the Deputies
that they at once proceed to vote on the
Governments proposals, which was adopted
and the question put The result Of the vote
showed that the proposals had been rejected,
and when the announcement was finally
made Mr.. Ferry rendered his resignation
and that of his colleagues.
This was greeted With wild and tumultOuS
applause, and the chamber was closed.
The Council Of Ministers was presided
over by President Grevy In person. He in
sisted on prompt and vigorous action on the
Chinese question, and declared that nothing
short of decisive and complete measures
would satisfy the people. After an excited
discussion the Council decided TO ask the
Chambers for a credit of two hundred mill
ion francs $40 00O,0 ,0O0); It was also de
cided to Immediately mobilize two full
divisions Of the army, including four Briga-
dier Generals. for service in Tonquin. Adj

/ II Is generally belieyed that President
Grevy will call upon either NJ. DE Freycinet,
Of the Senate or NJ. RibOt, of the Deputies,
10 form the new Cabinet.
NJ DE Freycinet won great popularity
throughout France by his able adminlstra-
ton OF tle Ministery Of Public Works under
a former Cabinet, and has on many occasions
displayed much sagacity In statesmanship.
NJ. RibOt, one Of the most distinguished Of
French Jurisconsuts has been prominent In
politics of the higher order ever since he
was summoned TO an active participation in
the Government Of National Defense after
the battle Of Sedan.
II Is also n matter of general expectation.
that NJ WaddingtOn, now Ambassador TO
London, will become Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, which Office is now held by NJ.
Ferry In addition to that Of President Of the
Council.
A rumor that the great political economist
and fnancier, Leon Say, will be asked TO
accept the post Of Minister Of Finance,
causes most profound satisfaction. il Is a
proverb In France that In times OF financial
uncertainty the mere knowledge Of the fact
that NJ. Say was TO become Minister of FL
nance has always been sufficient TO cause
rise In the price Of rents on the course.
The comments Of the Partisan newspapers
upon the unfortunate events In China are
vigorous and many Of them are so excited
and even wild as TO be almost amusing.
