CRISIS In FRANCE.
The MINISTRY RESIGNS ON BEING
DEFEATED IN PARLIAMENT.
Origin of tho Trouble = legislative DIFF.
ference as to Prero:attve Ia Mat
ters of Finance.

rBy Anelo-American cable 10 the Dispatch.l
PARIS, March se.-The Chamber OF Depu-
ties to-day. by vote Of 247 to 242. decided
to retain the liquor-law-amendment bill as
part of the budget. although the govern
ment bad expressed itself as firmly OPP
posed to the amendment, which increases
the burdens of the liquor trade.
Upon the vote of the Chamber being an
nounced Premier Ribot adjourned the ses-
sion until O'Clock this evening IN order
to give him and his Ministers time
90 consider their position and whether
they should regard the vote OF the
Chamber as q sign of want OF con-
fidence in the Ministry. After somewhat
lengthy consultation IN committee-room
the Ministers proceeded TO the Elysee
and rendered their designations 20 Presi-
dent Carnot. The President held long
interview with the members OF the Caoi-
net and urged them 10 reconsider their
determination. His arguments were IN
VAIN. however, and the Ministers insisted
that their designations must be accepted.
II is rumored that n. Develle, Minister ot
Foreign Affairs in the Ribot Cabinet. Will
be asked by President Carnot TO form a
Ministry.
ITS CAREER STORMY.
The Ministry has held Office about
eleven weeks. during sll OF which time 1t
/. has been an object of attack. The adverse
majority Of tive votes to-day on the liquor
amendment was more or loss surprise 10
the government. and after due delIbera-
ton the Ministers decided to regard IT as
vote Of want Of confidence.
At 9:l5 o'clock the deputies reassembled
and all the outward signs OF a Cabinet crls's
were apparent in crowded galleries anu
animated groups on the floor OF the cnam-
Der. when NJ. Tirard. Minister of Finance.
entered alone of all the Ministers and an
nounced in few words that the Cabinet
had resigned, but had been charged oy
President Carnot TO carry on the AFFAIRS OF
state for q short period. and would there
fore ask the chamber for ayote on account
20 cover the next two months. Inc chaml-
ber referred his request TO the Budget
Committee and then adjourned.
CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY.
The immediate cause of the crisis was a
division Of opinion between the senators
and the deputies as TO the respective pre-
negatives of the two chambers III matte
of financial legislation. The liquor-iaw,
amendment bill was originally part o'
the budget. and was sent as such by
the deputies to the senators. The
senators decided that the bill ough,
to be separated from the budget
and were supported in this. decl-
SION by the government. The decision
was unpalatable to the deputies, as was
shown yesterday by the Budget Commit.
! tee resolution. passed despite the earnest
protests of Premier RIbot and Finance.
Minister Tirard that the deputies assert
their rights in financial matters and re.
turn the budget to the Senate without
considering the amendments OF the Senate
| thereto.

circumstances. Although the question is
one purely of constitutional and statutory
construction. there is much interest mani
tested IN its determination, but Dir.

his speech that the die was cast and that
the majority report would be adopted.

throe hours. He read his argument from

GATE-CiTY Bank CASE.
10 Has Assumed Peculiar Phase-Coun-
sel JackseD's Position.
[By telegraph 10 tho Dlspatch. |

IBy telegraph TO tho Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON. d. c.. March 80. 1t IA au-
thortativev learned at the Department OF
Justice that Spec;sl-Counsel Henry W.
jackson. employed In the Gate-C1ty Na-
tional Bank case at Atlanta. Ga, has not
been removed, but eny further action or
his part in the case has been suspended
until Attorney General Olney and Secrc-
tary Carlisle. of the Treasury Department,
agree upon the course 10 be pursued.
The Gste-City National Bank case. as
far as the information that reaches here
goes, has assumed very peculiar phase.
The bank to-day. in the opinion OF treasury
officials, ls in position 70 open us
doors and pay of every dollar OF its
indebtedness caused by the detalcaton OF
Redwine. its cashier. but there IS said 10
be some disagreement as to who shall con-
stitute the Board Of Directors and for that
reason principally the bank has not been
reopeued. On the other hand. 1t IS lntl-
mated tnat several Of the old directors are
omen to the charge of having wrongfuDy
taken money from the bank. This view ls
said to be held by Special-Counsel Jack
son. who was formerly attorney for the
bank.
Mr.. Jackson's son. it will be recalled,
committed suIcide shortly afier Redwlnea p
defalcation, and in some way not clearly
indicated the suicide of young jackson
was connected with Redwlnes defalca-
ton. Mr. jackson, special counsel In this
case. was naturally very much GIleyed at
the suicide OF hIa son. and the lntimatlOn
unoficially thrown out here is that Mr.
jackson has become overwhelmed with
grief and has made statements ana IN
situations against some of the old Board
of Directors so grave IN their character
that the government has felt called upon
TO stop further action on his part IN the
case until q most thorough and searching
investigation Of the banks condition can
be made.
MB. JACKSON IN WASHINGTON.
Henry W. Jackson, the special United
States District Attorney. of Atlanta, Ga.
connected with the prosecution growing
out of the Gate-CItv National Bank fall
ure, the order for the suspension OF when
was made by Attorney Olney yes
terday. arrived here to-day. Mr.. jackson
had an interview with Mr.. Olney this af-
ternoon, after which AttOrney-General
Olnev and Secretary Carlisle had a
conference on the subject. MIR. Olnev
said the matter was still held up,
aud as Mr.. jackson would be here for
several days engaged IN cases before the
Supreme Court he would not take any
/ further action until Nlr. jackson returned
| TO Georgia. In the mean time both Secre-
tarv Carlisle and Attorney-General Olney
will endeavor to obtain all the hight posi-
ble on the matter so as TO render thelr
| final decision.

know say that the receipts of the
Office somewhat exceed the amount
required by law to insure free delivery.
The building In which the post-oilice Is
now kept is altogether too small to &C
commodate the crowds of people who re-
ceive their mail through the eeneral-de-
livery window. The crowd usually begins
to collect shortly after the arrival OF the
b:i5 train from Richmond. which brings
the New York and Philadelphia mails.
AMxED PROCESSION.
Sometime ago Postmaster Gordon adopt
ed the plan of requiring the men TO form
in line and march In single file upon the
delivery-window. A view OF this strange
procession is worth something to man who
never saw the like. IL is mixture of all
sorts of people, being composed OF white,
black. shabbily clad. and dwell-dressed men.
But perhaps the worst feature OK this
business is that the people must stand
in line nearly an hour or wait
until every roust-about negro in town has
called for letters that never come before
one can get to she window. 1t Is impossi.
bic TO get boxes. There are now scores OF
applications on file for them, but they are
not TO be had. principally because there IL
not room enough in the building for moro
than are now there. Postmaster Goruoh
has done the best be could 70 accommo-
date the patrons of the office. and mas
spent considerable money out or his own

there is still plenty OF latitude Tor I'M
