PARIS, Nov 2S-The cabinet has re-
signed, and President Carnot has accepted
the designations of the various mem bers.
The fall OF the cabinet was brought about
by discussion in the chamber of deputies
today of matters relating 10 the Panama
canal investigation.
Marquis La Ferronnayes 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 thereto. He referred
to the rupors that the burial was only a
sham, and that the coffin did not contain
the body of Baron Reinach. He demanded
that the coffin be cxhumed and examined
as to its contents.
NJ. Rcard, minister of justice, arose
and said that it WAS the evident intention
of the accusation TO bring discredit on the
administration. The usual formalities
had been observed in the burial of Baron
Relnach's body. The doctors had certified
that death was from natural causes. Tne
postmortem could not be ordered without
prfvous judicial Intervention. He WAS
not prepared to intervene himself, as no
crime had been committed. The parlia-
mentary committee was poWerless to
order an autopsy, and he declined to insti-
tute judicial proceedings, rs it was the
duty of the judge of instructions in the
Panama canal prosecution to cause a
search of Baron Reinach's house if he
thought it necessary. He concluded by
asking that N. La Ferronnayes' question
be put in the form of an Interpolation.
NJ. Brisson supported NJ. La FerronnHye's
demand. He said that the official seal
should be affixed to Baron Relnach's
papers, as it was imperative that the truth
should be discovered. [AppIause.] He
concluded by moving a resolution of re-
gret that these papers had not been sealed
Immediately on the death of the baron.
Premier Loubet arose and declared that
that which NJ. Brisson requested WAS
illegal. NJ. Brisson's words, he said could
be interpreted only rs indicating want of
confidence.
A great commotion ensued. When order
was restored Premier Loubet declared
that he rejected M. Brisson's resolution.
M. Maujan proposed that there should
be added to NJ Brisson's resolution an ex-
preston of confidence in the government
There was applause from the Left when
NJ Loubet interposed to say that he
could not agree even to NJ. Maujan's mo-
tion. He could accept nothing but the
simple order of the day.
There was great excitement, and by
vote of 3o4 to 219 the chamb ber rejected the
premier's motion to pass to the order of
the day.
The mem bers of the cabinet held a short
meeting and then proceeded direct to the
palais Elysee and rendered their resigna-
tions to President: Carnot. In accepting
the designations the president asked them
TO continue to conduct the business of their
respective offices until their successors
were appointed.
After the vote rejecting the premier's re-
quest had been taken. all the members of
the cabinet left the chamber in a body
nmid the greatest excitement. The cham
ber then proceeded to adopt Nj. Brisson's
resolution of regret that Baron Reinach's
papers bad not been sealed up imrnedi-
ately after his death, the vote standing
S03 to 3.
The chamber then adjourned until Mon
day.
THE BRUSSELS CONFERENCE.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 2S.-The international
monetary conference met again today.
The latest report regarding the conference
is that the delay in issuing to the delegates
the proposals of MIR. Albert de Rothschild,
one of the representatives of Great Britain,
is due to his asserting last night that the
proposals be modified in accordance with
suggestions made by NJ. Montefiore Levi,
president OF the conference, and other
members
1t is reported that under the scheme to
be formulated by MIR. de Rothschild, each
government represented in the con-
ference is to be associated in the
purchase of silver to the minimum
amount of e5.Oo0,00O sterling, and Is to
take a fixed proportion of this amount at
the limit of 43 pence per ounce. The pur-
rhases are to be made directly by the
treasurers of the various countries or
through the agency of financial institu-
lions. 1t is expected that the British del
egates will support this in the special in
ierest of the Indian curreacy. \ Danish
delegate, who is a monometallist, will
propose the coinage of silver fve-frauc,
our-shilling or dollar pieces, rated to gold
according to the price of silver in the year
previous TO the adoption of the interna-
tioual agreement, with a seigniorage of 10
per cent. lie will also propose the appoint
ment of a permanent international COM
mission to fix the initial prices. Should
the price of silver fail 60 per cent below
the coinage ratio, the commission will
