Outline OF Plans to he Carried Out by
tho New Ministry.
PARIS, Dec 5.-M. Cassimir-Perier, In
his announcement of the new mipistry's
policy, said that the government would
consider the creation Of workman's
provident fund, as we'll rs other measures
to regulate the relations between the state
and the Banque de France. The govern
ment would undertake nothing which
might tend towards the separation of
church aud state unless the country de-
manded 1t, and would reject all proposals
for revision OF the constitution. The
foreign policy OF the government will be
In harmony with the wishes OF the nation,
which was powerful enough to proclaim
her sincere desire for peace and to defend
her rights and the interests of her COM
merce aud industry.
The chamber of deputies, after warm
discussion of motion for general am-
nesty, voted 257 to 225 against discussing
the clauses OF the motion. During the de-
bate M. Crousset spoke warmly in favor
of the exiled Boulangists. Many persons
Ruiltier than they, he said, were now sit
ting In the house. He appealed to the
government to forgive the miners and
others who had been condemned during
excitable strike periods.
NJ. Raynal, minister Of the interior,
spoke in opposition. The government, he
said. had not come to pass u sponge
over the crime Of treason TO the father
land.
At this time M. Merry, socialist. sprang
to his feet, screaming: "You are miser-
able wretch" An uproar followed, amid
which could be heard cries for censure un-
ill the offender withdrew his expression.
M. Merry declined to do so unless NJ.
Raynal withdrew his imputation that the
Boulangists were traitors. Mry denied
that the Boulangists were anti-patriots;
they rather. he said, had sought to infuse
patriotism into corrupt French politics.
He then added that as the chamber had
permitted him to make this explanation,
he would withdraw the epithet miserable

Central railroad from chihuahua, Mex,
report that last Friday morning l2 or IA
wounded federal cavalry and infantry OFF,

and tlken TO the city hospital. Two of
the officers died before night. Absolutely
no information regarding the vicinity or
result of the engagement could be obtained.
Even the most prominent citizens of the
city were refused the news. The arrival
Of wounded officers would indicate that
the Federals were not defeated at the time
these officers were sent in. though the feel
ing among the people is that the rebels
have not suffered much or the federal
authorities would proclaim victory.
The opinion prevails that the troops at
Casas Grandes advanced on the rebels,
who have been concentrating their forces
in the mountains 40 miles TO the west OF
