Cabinet Crisis in France.
PARIS, December 3d.-In the Chamber
of Deputies to-day Sarrien, Minister of the
Interior, spoke in opposition to the motion
for the abolition of the offices of Sub
Projects He promised that he would in
troduce bill providing for the partial alb
olition of these offices. Prime Minister
De Freycinet supported Sarrien, and re-
preached the Opposition for seiZing every
chance offered TO overthrow the Govern
ment. The Chamber, however, adopted
the motion for the total abolition by ma
jority of 13 votes, thus defeating the Gov
eminent.
It's reported that De Freycinet. Sarrien
and Goblet, Minister of Public Instruction,
will resign. There was intense excitement
in the lobbies of the chambers, and after
the vote was announced the sitting of the
Chamber was suspended at the instance of
De Freycinet, in order that the Cabinet
might consider its position.
THE CABINET RESIGNS.
PARIS, December 3d-P. M.-After the
Cabinet meeting the Ministers went to the
Elysee Palace and rendered their resigna-
tions to Present Grevy.

meet tomorrow. 1t is believed that Presi-
dent Grevy is averse to dissolving the Min
istry, and will ask NJ. De Freycinct to re-
form the Cabinet NJ Sarrien, De Velle
and Goblet will probably insist upon re-
firing.
Bismarck Has His Eye Still on France.
BERLIN, December 3d.-In the Reichstag
to-day, during the debate on the first read
ing of the military bill, the Progressists
signifed their willingness to vote in sup
port of the requirements of the bill if the
Government would reduce the period OF
service from three years to two. This the
Government refused to consent to. General
Bronsart Won Sheelindortf. Prussian Min
lister of War, advocated for the Government
the passage of the bill He said Despite
her pacific policy, Germany may, within a
measurable time, be involved in war, For
the moment such danger does not threaten,
but the present epoch is most difficult. 1t
is most natural that we should compare our
war strength with that of France. With
less inhabitants than Germany, France has
a higher peace effective force. Shall we
allow ourselves to be outstripped by q
neighboring State in which we cannot per-
ceive that degree of friendliness that would
avert war? The bill is of the most urgent
character. The Reichstag must pass this
measure before Christmas, if the purpose
of the Government is to be attained. [Sen-
sation] Let any one who regards the ad-
ditional burdens upon the people as I'm
bearable, acquaint himself with the state OF
affairs on the other side of the Vosges. The
Government is in earnest. 1t does not ask
for more than it intends to accept"
A Bibulous Bishop.
LONDON, December 3d.-The Truth this
week states that the Bishop of Manchester
has more pluck than majority of eminent
ecclesiastics. He has dared to own frankly
that he has tried total abstinence and finds
it does not agree with him. At the close
of the second year he broke down utterly
and was told by his doctor he must either
give up half his work or take light slim
ulant with his principal meal. There are
good many hard-brain workers whose
experience is very similar, and who will
feel more comfortable when they find the
Bishop in their company. There was an
offertory in Winchester Cathedral last week
for the church Temperance society, when
the congregation in the nave, numbering
500 persons, contributed the very temperate
sum of 20 pence.
