ct committee.
I,oclSroy announced that the commit
tee had resolved to send the budget
back to the senate In the form IN wnicn
It originally passed the chamber or
deputies. The senate, he added, re-
pressed all the reforms passed by the
chamber. The chamber then proceeueu
10 discuss the causes. rejected the SEN
ate amepdments, including the phi
amending the liquor law.
Tirard declared these must be sepa-
rated from the. budget as the senate
proposed, otherwls. he said, the gov
ernment would be obliged to ask for
vote on account.
Ribot supported Tirard and urged the
chamber to agree with the senate. On
a division the chamber decided by a
vote of 247 to 242, to retain the liquor
amendment bill as part Of the budget.
When the vote was announced Prem
Ter Ribot adjourned the session until v
o'clock this evening in order to give
him and his fellow ministers time TO
consider the position. After Lengthy
consultation the minister proceeded TO
Elysee and rendered their designations
td President Garnet. The president
urged them to consider their determina-
tion. Argument was in vain, however,
| remained firm and insisted that their
resignation must be accepted.
At 915 o'clock the deputies reassem-
bled. All outward signs Of capine'
crisis were apparent In the crowdeo
galleries. When Cassimir Perier TOOK
the chair all the ministerial places were
vacant. Tirard minister Of finance an
nounced in a few words that the cabi-
net had resigned but that they were
charged by President Carnot to carry
on the affairs Of state for a short Pc
riod. He would therefore ask the cham
ber for a vote on account to cover the
next two months. The chamber referred
their report to the budget committee
and then took recess.
At 10 o'clock, the hour set for re-as-
sembling, not chair In the whole mouse
was vacant and hundreds who could mol
gain admittance were waiting at the
entrance to get the earliest possible
news Of proceedings. The disorder
which the president was unable to qui-
Of was hushed in q moment, Lockroy
stepped to the tribune and announced
the decision of the budget committee
In a few words he stated that COM
mittee felt it to be inexpedient to gram
the request made by Tirard for TWO
months supplies, but would recommend
a vote covering one month from TN
present time. Shouts Of approval greet
ed the statement. The brief discussion
which followed was one-sided as tn
difference in opinion in the chambe
practically concerned only the question
whether supplies should be voted 10
one month or not at all. Eventually tn
report Of the committee was adopte
by a vote Of 5O4 to s. and the champe
adjourned till Tuesday.

will be asked by President Carnot I
