President Carnot Requested M.
Casimir-Perier TO Take the Prem
iership OF France and Form a
New Cabinet, But He Refused to
Do SOM. Dupay Was Then Sent
for, hut He Would Not See the
President.
PARIS, Nov. 26.-President Carnot con-
ferred with M. Casimir-Perier, president
of the chamber, last evening, and offered
him the premiership. Casimir-Perier re-
fused to accept the offer and recommended
Dupuy. This morning the conference was
resumed, NJ. Carnot still urging Casimir-
Perier to form a cabinet and the president
of the chamber still declining in favor of
the last premier. Eventually Carnot sent
for Dupuy. His invitation was CURLY de-
clined. M. Dupuy WAS 80 ohagrined by
his experience yesterday that he would
not even consent TO consult with the
president.
At $50 o'clock M. Meline, the French
Mckinley, went to the president in re-
Spouse to summons for an interview. He
was requested to form cabinet, but he
would not consider the matter. At the
present juneture, he said, Dupuy was the
| only possible premier. Later in the after
| and besought him to form the new cabinet.
Dupuy psrsieted in nis refusal. The presi-
| dents offer of the premiership to Cssimir-
Perier Is regarded az political trap The
president of the chamber ia known to have
hopes of securing the presidency of the re-
| public next year. 1t Is reasonably certain
that the ministry formed now will fail be.
/ fore the election aud q fallen premier Is
| always out of the race for the presidency.
| Csrnot's Idea, 1t Is eaid, Is to made Casi-
| mir Perier the victim of this course of
events.
LIE Soir, which supports Dupuy and is
suppose to draw subsidy from the GER
| vice fund, last evening vented the ex-
premier . spleen npon the men who caused
his fall. In leader headed "Peytral's
Treason" the ex-minister of finance IL
handled thus:
Even NJ. Peytral's friends must from
the bottoms of their hearts despise thit
man who made himself consciously an in
strument of the radicals. His conduct Ii
equally datestable from the governmental
point of view and from that of common
honesty. As he disagreed with his col
leagues as to the income tax he ought t.
have resigned befc e parliament met"
The Temps ssys of the situations: eth
present crisis is the patural result of N
Carnots neglect to replace the old cabine
with a new homogeneous one."
| The Debata says: ''The country Is tiret
of ministries formed by the concentration
of heterogeneous republican elements"
La L,berte expresses this opinion: 9Th
ministry fell. 1t was not overthrown
This will create regrettable impression
A moderate homogeneous cabinet with M
Dupuy's program is what is now needed
At NJ. CARROTS request M. Chsllemel
Lscour, president of the senate, Gale
upon M. Dupuy early this evening AM
tried to persuade him TO form a cabinet
Dupuy refused unconditionslly to do &c
1t IL believed that the crisis will continu
through the week.
The socialists held large meeting thi
! afternoon to celebrate the fall of the gov
| eminent. Deputy Jusrez said that the &C
cialists won yesterday their first paris
! mentary victory, He regretted only tbs
he woul e unable 70 select the cabinet (
succeed the one he had helped overthrow
He disavowed any intention to overthrow
ministries merely for the pleasure of d,
moralizing the government. He demand
ed, however, that the ministries shout
observe a benevolent neutrality. No cal
. met which tried to ignore the socialists,
NJ. Dupuy would have done, would be q
5. lowed to exist. .-...
Deputy MtllerAnd also addressed IL
meeting. Hereafter, debate in the chan
