LONDON, March 31.-The early diSsO-
luton of the French chamber of depu
ties is imminent. 1t is reported that NJ.
Floquet has intimated that he has no
desire to occupy the position of premier,
and although it is not stated that he has
not given any specific reasons for his
hesitation in accepting the honor, his
reason is quite obvious, since the man
who, in the present circum-
stances, assumes the responsibility
of the office can see no
hope of retaining his place. NM. Ribot
and Rives are prominently mentioned
as the probable selections Of President
Conot in the event of M. Floquet's
declination or i'll success in forming
cabinet. The reported attempt to as
sassinate Gen. Boulanger at midnight
last night the Boulanger organs. as well
as the other Paris newspapers, deny.
But even the rumOr that such means of
ridding France of its chief cause Of
UNSETTLED POLITICAL PROGRESS
has created feeling among the prole-
tariat against the opponents of the gen
eral that augurS woe to the detected
promoters of any disaster which may
befall the popular idol. COmme enting
on the French situation, the Daily
News says it is not surprised that Gen.
ing. '',The last two days have shown
him to be leader of men. His dis
tinct and strong individuality and
his faith in himself and his star repre-
sents certain vague but widespread
distrust possibly only with the admins
tration, but possibly with the entire
constitutional system. Even this is a
matter of small Importance if Il shall
prove that the man represents only a
spirit Of dissatisfaction and should fail
to give satisfaction oafter all, but of the
truth of the one nobodySis convinced,
and of the other, Of course, no one can
know. Cromwell and Napoleon under
slood the nature and the direction of na-
tional impulse. If Boulanger possesses
the same genius he
IS THE COMING MAN
of France. He may do irreparable mis-
shaping themselves now, he must have
his day." The opinion of the. News fairly
reflects that of England and to large
extent that Of France. The Saturday
Review, in its resume Of the past week,
opineS that the signs developed in the
last few days have brought France
nearer to an outbreak Of galloping con-
sumption than she has been for many
years. Galloping consumption, it con-
tinueS, has brought most of the French
governments to destruction at the fatal
age of eighteen, and there is nothing in
the present situation that may be relied
upon to forefend the occurrence Of the
regular fatality. The Spectator eX-
presses the opinion that the world is
witnessing a slow development Of a
revolution in the germ
TOLD BY LADY SALISBURY.
A lady who stands very high in the
councils of the Tory party and the
Primrose leage said to-day that Lady
Salisbury remarked a few days, ago with
reference to some contemplated
journey: 1--WE can't do it now, but we
will be out in six months, and then we
shall be at liberty" The lady could
not divine the grounds for this pre-
dictIon, but said she had reasons to be-
believe that Lord Salisbury, as an eX-
chairman of quarter sessions and
landlord of the old-fashioned and
type, cordially detests the
governments local government bill and |
has only yielded grudging assent to
it as the price necessary to be paid for
Unionists' support. 1t is not unlikely
that he may dislike the prospect of |
further forced marches alang the Radi- |
cal road Another element of uncer-
tainty lies in the fact that the double |
labOrs of the premiership and the for
eign Office are again telling heavily upon |
Lord SaliSbury'S health, and he is be-
ginning to show again the signs of wear
and tear which his autumn holidays had |
obliterated. Those diSSentient Liberals
who look at Mr.. Gladstone every day,
and whose prime calculation is that at
his age
TIME is ON THEIR SIDE,
must feel embarrassed when they eX-
tend their memory back to the career of
Lord Palmerston, who was prime min
ister and enjoyed the highest popularity
until within two days of the completion
Of his eighty-first year. No one who

Gladstone is at least ten years younger
than Lord Palmerston was at the prime
minister's present age. Lord Palmer

When in debate Mr.. Bernal-O Osborne

prime minister's temper was ruff1ed by

Mr.. Chamberlain believes that any plan

lave fatal defect, but he would gladly
evive his scheme if it were likely to
prove acceptable. There will be no

oarnell on the point of local legislative

The result of the election for the Cover
