PARIS Nov. 30 Everything was ready. every
portfolio was provided for and the new Cab

once. at $3.50 I. VI. to-day Reynal declared to
sDuller that he would not enter tho Cabinet IL
Constans was among the Ministers. This up

every politician.
1t was known toward o'clock that Casimir-
Perier had accepted the offer to form Cabinet.
taking upon himself a task that he had five
times refused. though urged by Carnot
only one explanation can be given OF this
sudden change. IL is again the old Carnot-
Constans antIpathy springlng UP. Raynal tao
lilly accented last night He knew Spuller
would offer the Foreign ONCE to Constans
Raynal is only the Presidents instrume ent. and
Casimir-Perier was only induced to accept the
Premiership with the sole object OF putting
Constans aside.
There Is not the slightest doubt that Spuller
asked Casimir-rerier to see Carnot and ask
the President to accept Constans. In that In
terview the tables we're reversed. Perier ac-
ceptinG office to rid Carnot Of Constans.
No Paris newspaper will dare to publish
these facts. that show too plainly Carnot's
game. The situation Is now critical

Late this afternoon NJ. Spuller informed
President Carnot that he could not form
Cabinet. His efforts were thwarted by the
persistent refusal OF Burdeau to enter a Cabl.
net without Constans or Casimir-Perier. He
retired willingly in favor OF Casmir-P Perier.
who this evening consented to try to form a
Ministry. An official note from Casimir- -Perler
gives thus the course Of the negotiations.
NJ Spullcr. at President Carnots demand.
accepted the mission to form n Cabinet. He
conferred with NJ. Raynal and NJ. Burdeau.
who assured him OF their support Upon
Joint examination OF the situation. however.
the conclusion was reached that NJ. Spuller
should discontinue his Efforts lie visited
President Carnot and informed him that NJ.
Raynal. VI. Burdeau. and himself concurred
that NJ. Casimir-perier was the man who. in
the present situation. was most capable OF
forming n Cabinet
Consequently President Carnot requested NJ
Spuller to see NJ. Casimir- Perier, explain to
him the situation. and beg him to go to the
Elysee NJ. Casimir-Perier acceeded to this
wish. President Carnot appealed anew to his
devotion and patriotism. and eventually re-
ceived his acceptance Of the mission.
This unexpected turn OF affairs has excited
great stir among politicians and along the
bouevards. Everybody Is curious to know
what means tho President used to persuade
Casimir-Per to accept the mission. despite
his oft repeated and apparently immutable re-
fusals. One rumor is that Carnot promised to
withdraw from the contest for the Presidency
next year and to exert himself to secure the
election OF Casimir-Perier. Many ascribe Spul-
ler's failure to tho Cocrds'S campaign against
him as a friend OF England. and. therefore. an
opponent OF tho alliance with Russia
The hitch that occurred in tho formation OF
Cabinet was duo to President Carnot's ro-
sistance to the proposition that NJ. Constans
should resume post In the Ministry NJ
Burdeau refused to accept office without NJ.
Constnns being n member OF tho Government
NJ. Spuller visited NJ. Casimir-P Perier early in
ths day with the object OF inducing him to per-
suade President Carnot that VI. Constans must
be member OF the Government.
Probably NJ. Clsimr-Perier will have his
Cabinet completed before tomorrow evening
Meantime 1t is regarded as certain that Bur
deau will be Minister of Finance. Raynal Minis
ter Of the Interior, and Spuller Minister OF
Public Instruction. The Premier is expected to
take for himself the portfolio Of Foreign Affairs
Gen. Mercter Is named for Minister OF War
and Admiral Lafont for Minister OF Marine.
