CABINET DIFFICULTIES.
FRANCES MINISTRY RESIGNS
AND PRESIDENT CARNOT
Trouble In Securing n Pre-
mier who can Form "a New Cabinet.
---Other General News.

Paris cable: The ministry has re-
signed. In the chamber of deputies
crisis arose, but not on the Panama is
sue. The ministry that has resigned
had held Office for only about IL weeks,
coming in when NJ. Loubet resigned on
account of the Panama scandal.
1t is rumored that NJ. Develle, minis
ter of foreign affairs in the Ribot cabi-
net, will be asked by President Carnot
TO form new ministry.
The crisis arose through the submis-
sion to the chamber by NJ. Lockroy of
the report of the budget committee on
the budget as IL was returned to the
chamber from the senate. Nj. Lockroy
announced that the committee had re-
solved to send the budget back to the
senate in the form in which it had orig
inally passed the chamber of depu-
ties. The senate, he added, had sup
pressed in the budget all the reforms
passed by the chamber. 1t was inn
possible to permit such an in
fringement of constitutional pre-
negatives in the matter of finance.
The chamber, then proceeding to dis
cuss the clauses, rejected the senate
amendment, including the bill amend
! ing the liquor laws. M. Tirard de-
clared that these must be separated
from the budget as the senate had pro-
posed. Otherwise, he said, the govern
ment would be obliged to ask for a
vote on account. NJ. Ribot supported
NJ. Tirard and urged the chamber to
agree with the senate.
On the division the chamber decided
by vote of 247 to 242 to retain the
! liquor law amendment bill as part of
the budget. The ministers held u meet
ing and Immediately afterward went
TO the Elysee and gave their resigna-
tions to President Carnot.
The rumor as TO whom President
Carnot would select for the task of
forming a new ministry were soon set
at rest by the announcement that the
president had requested M. Meline to
undertake the formation of a cabinet.
NJ. Meline failed in his efforts to
form n complete cabinet. Charles
Dupuy, late minister of foreign affairs,
has consented to form a ministry.

Pennsylvania Disasters Which Cause Con-

sons Summer Home Burned.

A fire started 20 feet from the bot
tom of the slope in the Nelson shaft at
Shamokin, Pa. At this point there is
an old house which is used by the men
to change their working clothes for
others before leaving the mines. About
10 minutes to o'clock on the fatal
morning hungarian was setting his
lamp and it exploded, igniting the oil
about him. He rushed from the oil
houseand the flames spread with rap
idity. Attempts were made 10 fight
the fire, but those who started TO do SO
were compelled to flee for their lives.
They succeeded in reaching the bot
tom of the shaft and were hauled TO
the surface, along with some belated
miners, who owe their lives 10 the fact
that they did not go to work at their
usual time. MANY other miners eS-
capped, but as soon as search could be
made 10 men were found dead in a vein
100 feet above where the fire broke out.
Through an airway from the lower
vein TO The vein above the smoke poured
suffocating the unfortunates like rats
in trap. The bodies were removed
TO the surface with much difficulty.
They were taken to the blacksmith
shop, where the most pathetic scenes
were witnessed. Three of the men
were married and had large families.
The others were young men, averaging
less than % years of age.
Only two mules were gotten out
alive. Five were found with their
neclSs resting over each others bodies.
How they got together in this position
is a mystery. There are altogether 30
dead mules in the mine.

Congress meet in one or the other of
