pIssoIutIon to be pemanded.

PARIS, June IN. Floquet minister of
the interior, informed the committee on the
revision of the constitution that the cabinet
had the right to choose the time for this. 1t
was the opinion of the cabinet, he said, that
the present state of home and foreign affairs
made the revision inopportune at this time,
and that the maiorities in the Senate might
enable them to come to an understanding on
the various points relating to revision.
Should the government find itself confronted
by a majority against it composed of the
Right and the Opportunists, it would resign,
since it could not deal with the revision un-
less supported by solid Republican major
ity In consequence of M. Floquets de-
claration, M. Rochefoucauld announced that
the Right would not demand revision, but
a dissolution and an appeal to the country.

Plots Against Prince william.

LONDON; June r. information is received
which confirms the statements from Berlin
respecting the Socialist designs upon the
moody Crown Prince William. This latest
plot, however, had its birth in London, and
it is. logically enough, directed against Prince
Bismarck as well as the crown prince. The
chief conspirator is fanatical German en-
gineer living In q northwestern suburb of
London, and he is assisted by a number Of
men who practically form secret committee
of desperate political fanatics. Nearly all
of these men are skilled electricians or me-
chanics. Three of them were for some time
employed by one of the largest firms of cleo
tric engineers in Lendon, but were recently
dismissed on discovery that they were car
rying on an Anarchist propaganda among
fellow -workmen. Agents in London of the
German police department are pretty well
informed of the conspirators' movements.

The Rishons, Reply.

The document of the Irish bishops which
has reached Rome admits the right of the
Holy See to interfere in matters of morality.
The plan of campaign and boyeotting, there
fore, come under the jurisdiction of the re-
script, which they receive with reverence
The bishops are constrained to remark, how
ever, that the Holy See has not been correct
ly informed in regard to the acts condemned
by the rescript, and that the circumstances
which gave rise to these acts as a means of
defence and legitimate resistance ought to be
considered. The document adduces a num-
Der of statistical data to prove that the dis
putes between the landlords and the tenants
have political character, and have nothing to
do with matters of morals or religion. 1t
concludes with renewed expressions of devo-
tion and respect for the decisions of the Holy
See.
1t is now reported that Mgr. Persico. the
papal envoy was opposed to the publication
Of the rescript as inopportune.
