LONDON, Oct. 6.-The Times's Paris corre-
spondent says: lowing to the number of Cabi-
last for seats in the Chamber of Deputies, it will
be necessary for the Cabinet to be remodeled Or
resign from Office before the Chambers meet. If
the Radicals ally themselves with the members
of the Right they can overthrow Ministry after
Ministry. leaving France in permanent crisis
which will seriously jeopardize the existence Of
the republic"
The Paris Republique Franchise, in an edi-
torial on the results of the election, says:
'Over one-third of the members of the Chamber
of Deputies Conservatives. This is serious
on candidates in the districts where second bal
lots are necessary, and preserve the integrity Of
the republic
MN. Mangon, Waldeck- -Rosseau. Legrapde
and Heraut, who were defeated In the election,
have resigned their seats in the Cabinet.
Disorders were renewed in Paris this evening
Fully 1000 persons assembled in front of the
Gauiois office, shouting viva la Republioue," :"
"A bas le Gaulois." The police finally succeeded
in dispensing the mob. being aided by heavy
rain
1t is expected that PROVISIONAL Ministry will
be formed, including MN. Clemenceau and
FloQuet.

The French election returns will, perhaps, be
made more intelllgibe to many American read
ers by brief statement of the attitude of the
various parties. The Conservatives. who have
made extensive gains. the mOnarchistS, OF
one faction or another; some of them are ad
herents of the Comte de Paris. others Of the
Bonaparte family. They would like to see a
monarchical goverpme n restored in France. Tbs
Republicans. or Moderates, are supporters Of the
present Ministry. with Brisson and De Freycinet
as the representative leaders. They are like
was formerly Prime Minister. The Raii-
Gals look to M. Clemenceau as their
leader. They are as eager as the monarchists
for the overthrow of the Republic, but only that
they may give the government more radical lean
incs. The Republicans wish to maintain a
parliamentary form of government but the
Radicals wish to abolish the Senate and substi
tute in place Of the Chamber, as at present con-
stituted, some body like the old convention
of 1873. The loss of seats by the Republicans
will lead to a reconstruction of the present Min
istry. 1t seems doubtful at this moment
whether the Ministry can gather about it a
working majority in the new Chamber. Sbrewd
observers. in fact, believe that the new Cabinet
will be short-lived; that no Ministry can be
patched up that will long command support. and
that consequently there will oe another dissolu-
tion and another general election in the near
future
