Social" "Vive la commune"
1he ministers on reaching the Palace
of the Elysee acquainted President
Carnot with the result of the sitting Of
the chamber, aud indicated their inten-
ton to resign. They left the president
then and proceeded to the foreign Of
fee, where the situation was discussed.
Premier Casimir-Perier presided. 1t
was decided to meet tomorrow at the
Elysee palace and formally tender their
designations to the president. 1t is con-
sldered that the fact that second vote
was taken by tie chamber in the ab-
sence of the ministers precludes the
possibility Of a compromise. Nj. Casimir-
Perier'S withdrawal from the govern
ment will be irreyocable. and it is
thought that none of his colleagues will

tor the reason that the views voiced by
NJ. Jonnart, minister of public works, in
the chamber were aSSented to by all the
ministers at council this morning.
The official announcement of the res

III the Gazette on Thursday.
LONDON, May 23.-The correspondent
of the Times at Paris says: The nin-
istry has fallen so unexpectedly and
under such circumstances that there is
ageneral feeling at
THE PALAIS BOURBON
that the premier chose to Quit Office.
AT the moment it is not known whether
he has resigned, if he has whether
President Carnot has accepted his
resignation. Yet the history of yester-
days debate i'll the chamber of deputies
is none the less important. An almost
unknown deputy. Nj. Sails. asked Min
lister Jonnart quite a simple question.
Ihe fourth annual national congress,
so-called, of the railway workingmen's
federation. opened yesterday morning
III pltlable state. Scarcely anybody
was present, as no general leave was
given to the men by the various COM
panies to quit work in order to attend
the congress. it would seem that for
some time past there had been deal of
discussion between the minister and
certain deputies, not merely Socialists,
as to what should he done this year
with regard to granting such permits
sion. Ii one may believe the assertions
made in the lobby, NJ. Jonnart half dld
ana half did not agree to intervene with
the companies to induce them to give
the workingmen leave of absence.
However tits may be, the question be.
fore the house yesterday was of no
greater Importance than. TO learn

would do so. No doubt all questions
are dangerous in the French chamber,
but this one of M. Sails seems to be
singularly simple, 1t contained ques-
ton OF principle upon which, Premier
Caslmlr-Perler made no move
TO DECLARE HIMSELF.
Indeed, he did not open his mouth
during the debate. The result came
quite suddenly, as il NJ. Casimir-P -Perier
had been riding for fall" The first
mint of Significance in the debate came
with NJ. Jourdes' question as to what
was beng done i'll regard TO the EN-
pl0yes OF the state railways.
Minister Jonnart's reply not merely
cast the gauntlet of challenge among
the Radicals and Socialists, but it posi-
lively bestowed upon them fresh
weapon, the use of which they had not
before seriously dreamed. This was
his contention = that servants of the
state had no right to belong to a union.
NJ. Sails rose TO protest against this
view on the ground that the interests
OF all wOrkingnen were the same.
NJ. Dupuy cried from the presidential
chair: "Itie incident is closed" and
indeed so it appeared to every body; but
bomb of quite different sort was
soon to fall i'll the chamber. and literally
spread abroad more diSmay, than, that of
Valiant. NJ. Jourdes' Interpretation
( i've the Radicals aud Socialists ample
opportunity to see what capital the ques-
tion before them had, and they were not
likely to drop it. NJ Milerand, one of
the solid speakers of the party, was put
forward to argue the question. He de-
clared that the government could con
vince nobody that leave for, three days
10 $50 out of 100000 men could injure
the railway service. He also made a
great point of the fact that the premier
recently attended banquet of railroad
employees ana spoke words of sympathy
