PARIS. Nov 25.-The session OF the new Par
lament opened so peacefully. and the dsolara-
ton OF tho programme by thu Government was
so fayorably received. that the best judges OF
parodoxlcal French politics scented trouble.
II came to-day in tho shape OF Cabinet crisis.
The whole Of Dupuy's Ministry resigned Five

but Dupuy gave a qualified denial. Again
Milleraud asked the Premier II the Cabinet
still existed. Dupuy replied afflrmatlvely.
Milleraud anRrily declared that the Prime
Minister was doceiving the Chamber aud with

Cabinet refused to adopt an income tax bill

1.-THE designations had been limited to the
three Radical members the rest OF tho Cabinet
probably would have remained. and the vacan-
cies would have been filled by moderate Repub.
licans. The withdrawal Of Devele and viger
also compelled Dupuy to return all the port
folios to the President.
1t 10 quite possible that Carnot will request
Dupuy TO form q new Ministry. but It Is con-
sidered doubtful II he will accept the task or

believed that the change In the Ministry will
affect the present Russian relations or the
vigorous foreign policy which has been de-
veloping In the last few months.
The current report to- night is that the Presi-
dent will invite Cassimer Porier to form the
Ministry. but tho President OF the Chamber
would almost certainly decline the honor No
body expects that Constans. whose policy
Dupuy in great part. appropriated. will come
into executive power while Carnot remains at

The names already mentioned likely to be

The Socialists and Radicals are boasting to-
night OF their first victory over the alleged
moderate Republican majority in the new
Chamber. 1t is false boast. The fall
Of the Cabinet Is In no way due to them. The
next Ministry will be much more strongly op-
posed to them than the last one. The Dupuy
Cabinet would have had substantial ma
Iority in the Chamber II the question OF con-
fdence had come to a vote. The Cabinet
really fell OF Its own weight. Tho next will
be more Homogeneous and probably more
lasting.
