FRENCH CRISIS.

After stormy Time the French Cabinet
Resigns-The Panama Scandal Again.
PARIS, Nov 20. -As had been antici-
pated for some days tho trouble over
the Panama canal investigation has at
last resulted in the resignation Of the
French ministry. The crisis came yes
terday when NM Ferronays and Bris-
son submitted an Interpolation in the
chamber Of deputies regarding the
death Of Baron de Reinach, who was
largely interested in the Panama canal
legislation and who 1t is claimed COM
mitted suicide to avoid an investiga-
tion, asking why the government did
not enforce the law providing for the
holding of autopsies in cases of sudden
deaths.
Instead Of responding, M. Loubet,
prime minister, asked the chamber to
pass the order of the day pure and
simple. The chamber rejected the re-
quest by vote Of 304 TO 2i9,
Thereupon after a short consultation
the members of the cabinet went TO the
Palais Elysee and rendered their resig-
nations TO President Carnot In ac-
cepting their Withdrawals he asked
them to continue the business of their
respective offices until their successors
should have been appointed
While this outcome of the trouble has
been expected for some days the final
act was somewhat Of surprise, When
the chamber convened Marquis La Fer
ronays, of the right questioned the
government on Baron Reinach's death
and expressed surprise that nothing
had been done to discover the truth in
reference Herewith. He referred to
rumors that the burial was only sham
and that the coffin did not contain the
body of Baron Reinach. lie demanded
that the coffin be exhumed and exam
ined as To its contents
After the vote rejecting the premier's
request had been taken, all the mem
bers Of the cabinet left the chamber in
n body amid the greatest excitement
The chamber then proceeded to adopt
NJ. Brisson's resolution Of regret that
Baron Reinach's papers had not been
sealed Immediately after his death, the
vote standing 893 to 3. After this action
had been taken the chamber adjourned
until Monday

Missionaries Tor AmcrIca

BERNE, Nov 30.-At Einseidlin about
fifty young priests and nuns were con-
secrated for special missionary work in
the United States. The field of the
priests labors will be in Arkansas,
while the nuns go to Oregon. Among
the latter is a niece Of the bishop of
Einseidlin. Considerable interest is
felt in the question whsher the mis-
sionaries viii be detained as immi-
grants. Owing to accounts that have
been received however, of the pressing
need for missionary work in the United
States, and especially in Arkansas, it is
believed that they win be permitted TO
