LONDON, Oct. Ga Paris correspon-
dent says: sowing TO the number %
Cabinet ministers defeated at the elec4
tions sunday for seats in the Chamber OF
Deputies, 1t will be necessary for the
Cabinet to be remodeled or resign from
office before the Chambers meet. II the
Radicals ally themselves with the mem-
bers of the Right they can overthrow
ministry after ministry, leaving France
In permanent crisis, which will seri-
ousy paralyze the existence Of the re-

Mengon, Waldeck- Rousseau, Legrand
and Herault, who were defeated in the
elections, have retired from the Cabinet.
II is rumored that the Royalist sue
cesses will ensure the expulsion OF the
Orieanist princes and others.
THE RIVAL PARTIES.
The French election returns will, per-
haps, be made more intelligible 10 many
American readers by brief statement Of
the attitude Ofthe various political parties.
The Conservatives, who have made exten-
sve gains, are monarchsts of one faction
or another Some OF them are adherents
Of the Comte de Paris and others of the
Bonaparte family. They would ke to see
monarchial government restored In
France. The Republicans, or Moderates,
are supporters OF the present ministry.
with NJ. Brisson and NJ. de Freyeinet as
representative leaders. They are likewise
partisaus Of Jules Ferry, who was former.
" Prime Minister. The Radicals look to
NJ. Clemenceau as their leader.
EAGER FOR A CHANGE.
They are as eager as the Monarchists
for the overthrow OF the republic, but
only that they may give the government
more radical leanipgs. The RepubIi-
cans wish TO maintain the parliamentary
form OF government, but the Radicals
wish TO abolish the Senate and substitute
in place of the Chambers, as at present
constituted, some body like the old con-
venti0n of 1888. The loss of seats by the
Republicans will lead TO a reconstruction
Of tae present Ministry. 1t seems doubt
ful at this moment whether the Ministry
can gather about 1t working majority
in the new Chamber. Shrewd observers
believe that the new Chamber will be-
short lived; that no Ministry can be
patched up that will long command sup
port, and that consequently there will be
another dissolution and another general
election in the near future.
LAST CHANCE OF THE REPUBLIC.
PARIS, Oct. 6.-La ReDubliqae Fran
case, In an editorial to-day on the result
OF the elections on Sunday last, saids
cover One-third Of the members OF the
Chamber OF Deputies are Conservatives.
F! This is a serious evil" IL then implOres
the Republicans to unite on candidates in
the districts where second ballots are
necessary and preserve the integrity Of
the republic.
MOB ON PARADE.
The disorders were renewed here this
evening. Fully 1900 persons assembled
in front OF lie GduLOiS Office, shouting
"Vive la republique; a bas lie GouLots."
Bands Of youths paraded the st reefs sing-
Ing the Marsellaise aud waving tri-colOrs.
The police finally succeeded IN dispensing
the mo-, being aided by heavy rain.
1t is expected that provisional minis
try will be formed including NJ. Clemens
oeau and NJ. FlOquet.
The number Of Conservatives elected is
1873. II is believed that the second ball0t-
ings will raise the number OF COnserva-
rives 10 30. M. R0chefOrt argues that
the Repu blican defeat is due to the Ton
quin expedition and that It is therefore
necessary to guill0tine NJ Ferry the first
thing. The Republican newspapers gen.
orally are disposed 10 make q scapegoas
Of M. Ferry.
