FRANCIS NEW MINISTRY.
Cssimer-pericr's On binet Not Likely to Last
Frry Long.
PaRIs, Dec. 2.-Aftcr weeks interegnum
France has apparently secured n new set OF
rulers: but 1t is bost not to be sure until the
Cabinet Is actually ga2ctted tomorrow.
The situation is Identical tonight with that
which was reached on Wednesday with Spui-
Ter as Prime Minister instead OF Casimir-
Pcrier Carnots i'm plaza BILE hatred OF Constans
overthrow tho Spuler combination. The latter
expected free hand in forming the Cabinet,
for the constitutional right OF the President
IL limited to requesting tho desired Premier
to form Ministry. When Carnot objected to
the selection OF Constans as Minister OF For
elgn Affairs. Spuller naturally abandoned
the task. The weeks events have
demonstrated. perhaps more strikingly
than ever before. the rare quality. which tho
Frenchman who is President possesses in
largo measure. OF logged obstlnacy. He has
accomplished his purpose In two important
particulars He has kept Constans in the
background and secured man for President
OF the Council who resisted hundred pleas
before he yielded
am not inclined to give much weight to the
unpatriotic motive which Carnot's enemies
Casimir- Perier to accept the Premiership
1t is true that the position is almost sure TO
seal the political fate OF Cny one who
enters 1t. and that Casimir- Porter is re-
garded as prominent candidate for
the Presidency OF tho republic. 1t may
be taken for granted that the new
Premier has received very strong assurances
from Carnot. and It would not be surprising II
the President had assured him. among other
nN iYfn 60 ..a MI
date for reelection.
The weeks events, on the whole. have had
an unfavorabie effect upon Carnots position
In popular esteem. He Is held responsible.
and rightly. for the downfall OF the Dupuy
Cabinet. which might have stood indefinitely
II 1t had been slightly remodelled according
to the Premier's wish. 1t is quite probable
that Dupuy will be consolcd with the Presi-
dency OF the Chamber. which would have the
effect OF putting him directly in the lists for
the Presidential canvass next year.
Casimir- reriers Cabinet. as at present Or
ganizel. does not augur we'll for peace and
permansney. The Premier and Spuler are
moderate protectiOnists AntOnin Dubost Is
a fair trader. RRynal ana Burieau are out
and-out free traders. and Jonnart and
Nigcr are stanch protectionists. 1t is hard
TO see how such a team can pull well together
The Cabinet will undoubtedly secure vote
Of confidence in the Chamber at the outset,
but 1t 10 clearly apparent that the ensuing
session will not he peaceful one The
Socialists and Radicals naturally point to the
downfall OF the Dupuy Cabinet as an easy
demonstration OF their power. They will con-
tinue to harass any Ministry.
The air has been full OF all manner OF wild
rumors respecting the political situation this
week. The most important was that which
nscribed Spuller's withdrawal to a Russian In
timatlon that his supposed friendlinsss to
England was not regarded favorably by the
Gar. This and other stories OF Russian inter-
ference have been denied.
The Anglo German agreement regarding
Africa continues to create great irritation. and
the matter may develop into serious diplomatic
difficulty. 1t is not probable that the French
protests will be OF any effect
The Chauvinist newspapers are trying TO
arouse enthusiasm over the story that the
French, Russian Alliance Included Denmark
aud Greece, but the story obtains little ere.
dencR.
A french Justice gave his dictun as TO two
important domestic points this week The
fret Is that the man OF the house. and not the
mistress. possesses authority to hire and dis
charge serysnta The second is that the re-
fusal OF a husband to discharge a servant at
his wlfe's request Is not an adequate cause for
divorce.
Paving roads with mahogany Is luxury in
which only Paris can indulge. A portion OF
the Rue Lafayette is now being laid with
blocks OF real Brazilian mahogany o, PECULIAR
ly nstexture and color. 1t is eonfessedly an
experiment Mahogany is not SO dear as II
used be. The cost Of the roadway will be only
50 a square yard
The use OF sealing wax In personal eorre-
spondsnce is again decreed In the fashionable
world. There has been a new language OF col
ors established. White sealing wax l. chosen
for weddings. black for obituaries violet for
expressions OF sympathy, chocolate for invita-
lions 10 dinner. red for business. ruby for en-
gagged lovers. green for lovers who live in hope,
while blue denotes constancy yellow Jealousy
pale green TepToaehes. and cray between
