PARIs, December IN. Perier, who was
summoned yesterday by President Carnot
to form Cabinet. after III. Brisson had
abandoned the undertaking has also given
up the task, finding it impossible to get
the men he wanted toaccept the portfolios
he offered them,
PARIS, December 3-The news OF Casi-
mir Perier's failure to form Cabinet was
received with general regret. Even ms
opponents admitted his integrity, while
the Conservatives had promised TO sup
port his administration, his policy on eco
nomic questions being identical with
theirs, and favoring the American tariff.
When Perier's withdrawal became known
there was general belief that N. de Frey
cinet would be asked to form a dissolution
Ministry, which it was expected would oe
the present Cabinet remodelled, with VI.
Constans in the Home Office and NM
Loubet and RIcard omitted.
President Carnot. however, at o'clock
tonight sent for NJ. Bourgeois and asked
him to make an effort TO form Ministry.
NJ Bourgeois's decision has not yet been
announced. If he refuses the task or fails
in the attempt NM. de Freycinet and
Tirard are the next fayorltes.

Twenty thousand acres of land lying
north of Chattanooga, on the opposite side
of the Tennessee river. and owned by tue

foreclosure proceedings. Under plans
of reorganization which had been pre-
yiously agreed upon by the credi-

purchased by an agent OF q new

About 1880, 900 were involved in the

creditors. The new company will proceed
with a liberal line of development.
A specIal to the Associated Press from
New Orleans yesterday says: IL was de-
cided to-day by the United States Circuit
Court that the suit for damages against the
CITY government growing out of the
famous lynching of the Italian prisoners
must now be tried on their merits. In
order to gain time the city has filed ex-
ceptions TO the citations, asserting
that tho testimony was improperly taken
in Italy and that the court lacked
jurisdiction. The fight on these in
terlocutory points took place today. 1t IS
now certain that the citation will be car.
RED into the Supreme Court of the United
States on the question of jurisdiction. the
contention of the city being that most of
the dead men were citizens of Louisiana
and that the suits relating to their deaths
must be heard in the State courts. The
plaintiffs. however. are not citizens, and
on that ground claim the right of bringing
suit in the Federal courts. The date OF
the trials has not been fixed.
