FLOoUET FORCED TO RETIRE.
The Chamber of Deputies Opposed to His
Presidency.

The Chamber of Deputies Opposed to His
Presidency.
The recess of the French chamber Of deputies
ended yesterday and the house resumed its sit
tings. 1t was not thought that NJ. Floquet
would offer himself for the reelection. as his
explanation to the Panama commission and to
tine house of his connection with the Panama
affair had not proved as satisfactory as he de-
sired. He did, however, present himself for
reelection.
After the usual formalities of the opening of
the session had been complied with the name of
VI. Floquet, a candidate for reelection to the
presidency of the chamber. was presented.
This evoked a somewhat unexpected and We
hement opposition, and in the course OF
speeches made against NJ Floauet particular
stress was laid upon his own admission that he
had used some of the funds of the Panama
Company, not for his personal benefit. but for
his campaign against Boulangism and to secure
the election of a republican chamber in 1889.
NJ. Floquet. seeing that the members OF the
right were determined TO oppose his reelection
by every means IN their power, and knowing
that without their support he could not secure
a majority, withdrew his candidacy.
The republican group then nominated NJ.
Casimir-Perier for the Office. NJ. Casimir-
Perier, who is chevalier of the Legion of
Honor. WAS born in Paris November s. 1897.
He was elected q member of the chamber of
deputies in 1876 and has been successfully re-
elected. He has held several po-i'ions in vari-
GUS ministries. He has been elected vice presl-
dent of the chamber three times.
A vote by the usual method Was taken on VI.
Casimir-Perier's nomination and he was elected
by IN, jority Of l55. the vote standing 40S for
him to 258 against him.

THE COLD SNAP.
The Weather Bureau Promises Warmer
Weather Now.

The weather Bureau Promises Warmer
Weather Now.
As usual that merciless individual who ia
popularity held responsible for the state Of the
weather is endesvoring to shift the RESPONSE
bility upon somebody else, and to an anxious
STAR reporter he stated this morning
that this time the Saskatchewan val
ley at the bottom OF. and wholly respon-
sible for, the very frigid snap OF weather with
which the citizens of Washington and the ada
cent cities contended last night and today.
The indignant people will hardly be able
to wreak their vegeance upon the Sas-
Eatchewan valley, for the reason that
it ia not within their jurisdiction,
the Economically named and apparently very
frigid locality being in the British northwest
territory of North America. But the cold wave
will soon have passed away and the matter will
be as quickly dropped for according to
the authorities at the weather bureau
the present cold snap reached bottom early
this morning and is rapidly passing. away to the
northeast. The weather will moderate consid-
erabiy between now and tomorrow evening,
when il is expected that storm of snow
rain will call out umbrellas and overshoes.
TOUR OF THE COUNTRY
The cold wave which Washingtonians ex-
perienced yesterday and today originated in
the Saskatchewan valley Sunday night. During
Monday it was deligh,ing the residents of the
Mississippi and Ohio valleys and lake region,
carrying the line of temperature to
the Ohio river. the people of the At
lantic coast made its acquaintance early Tues
day morning. and the line Of freezing weather
was carried to Florida. where heavy frosts were
reported this morning. A great many people
here will undoubtedly be surprised when
they learn that according to the records
Of the weather. bureau the lowest tenn
perature reached here, which was at
or O'Clock this morning, six degrees
above zero. But that the extent Of the
cold wave, although there are number Of in
dividuals in town who would be willing to make
affidavit that in their neighborhood 1t was
about twenty or more degrees below the much
feared zero point And it may be that they
are right and that the figures Of the weather
bureau man were given out for the solo pur-
pose of confusing the people and thus enabling
the weather bureau officials to escape the
righteous wrath of the suffering community.
OTHER COLDER PLACES.

last night, however incredible that may seem to

From the LaWiston JOURNAL
The Maine steamboat engineer was polite and
attentive. 1t may be that he was fattered by
the fact that q lady so impressive in her manner
should have come to him for information. At
any rate he told her all about it. just where the
steam went into the cylinder, where it escaped
and how it was that the piston rod attached to
the crank turned the wheels that propelled the
little vessel through the waves. She appeared
to be all wrapped mp in the information. and
when he had finished she turned . beaming face
upon him and said: snow, what u the object Of
the boiler?'
