The French Premier Induces IN Sem
ate to Pass n Measure.

PARIS, March 9.-The Cabinet crisis,
which was caused by the fact that the
Senate on Saturday refused to take action
on the measure which had previously
passed the Chamber of Deputies creating a
special ministry of the colonies. instead of
having tina department Of the government
directed. as has been the case up TO the
present, by an under secretary of the min
istry of marine, has been averted. and
Premier Casimir-PerIe is again triumph
ant. When the Premier learned of the Sen
ate's failure TO act upon the measure re
feTred to, he promptly called a special
session OF the Senate to-day, and allowed
it to become known that he would remain
in power without n vote OF confidence upon
the part of the Senate. In the Senate, to-
day. after a conciliatory speech from the
Premier, the Chamber of Deputies bill Gre
ating a ministry of the colonies was ap-
proved by "A vote of 225 to 81. and later the
Senate agreed to the grant asked for in
connection with the creation Of this new
ministry by n vote of 26 to 81.
The Premier was warmly congratulated
by his friends upon the result of the af-
fair. which, since Saturday, was looked
upon as likely to have serious results.

ROSEBERY DEFENDED
Lord Churchill AsSails the Pre-
mier liz the Commons,
And Receives a Scoring from Sir Will
liam HarcOurt-French Cabinet Cri-
sis Averted by Casimer-Perier.

LONDON, March 19.-Lord Randolph
Churchill came TO the front again to-day
by making a motion to the effect that Lord
Rosebery, the Premier, had infringed the
liberties and privileges Of the House Of
Commons by concerning himself with the
election of a member of the House of Com
mons through his speech made at Edin-
burgh on Saturday night. This speech. ac-
cording TO Lord Churchill, must have influ-
ence upon the pending election at Leith.
Continuing. Lord Randolph asserted that
Lord Rosebery had evaded the rule which
~precludes peers from interfering in the cleo
ton OF members of the House OF Commons.
Sir William Harcourt, Chancellor Of the
Exchequer and Liberal leader In the House
Of Commons, said that as Lord Randolph
had not proposed that Lord Rosebery should
be called TO the bar of the House, he could
not understand what course Lord Ran
dolph wanted the House to take.
Thereupon Lord Randolph exclaimed that
he intended his motion as a protest against
Lord Rosebery'S action.
Sir William Harcourt, continuing, re-
marked that there were about five hundred
opposition peers who were constantly IN
terfering with elections. He, himself, had
known many prelates to make speeches
which probably had greatly infhlenceI
elections. Sir William Harcourt referred
undoubtedly 10 the pTeldleS WHO dIt HnclH-
bers of the House OF Lords. The speaker
classed Lord Churchilrs motion as being
''trumpery, petty and contemplate" and
a contradiction of his own defense when
accused of breach of privilege in 1887 for
lending carriages to be used at a certain
election, a course which was also followed
at the same time and place by Lord Sails
bury and Baron Rothschilds.
The Right Hon. n. j. Balfour. the Con-
servative leader, said that 1t was a crucial
case which would decide the doctrine as
to whether a peer had the right to take
part in elections. The speaker, continuing.
said that he had watched with interest the
governments desire to extend the privi-
leGes of peers. 0aughter.) Finally, the
House adopted Sir William HarcourtS mo-
tiOn 10 proceed with the orders of the Law.

America has heard many things CONCERNING
him and his doings. England has also heard
these things. and they, have made even
more OF a sensation abroad than In the
country of his birth.
Mr.. Astor first startled his English cous-
ins by buying one or the show places Of
the Duke OF Westminster, C~liveden-on-the-
Thames. He Is said to have paid about
1000, 600 for the property, upon which he
will spend many thousands more in modern
izing improvements. Next he bought the

retirement of Mr.. Gladstone, an announce
ment that brought down upon the edr0r
all the scorn which the truly patriotic En-
glishman has for anything thaI is IUreish.
He Immediately established a high rate
OF prices for magazine work. which were
at once the despair OF rival publishers and
the JOY of struggling writers. Other mag
aZines had to meet his figures or be salts
fed with second-class matter. and In the
meantime the short-Story writer has pros
pered as never before. During the past
year the three periodicals cost Mr.. Aston
$500, 900 more than he received. but they
have become the vogue. and in point Of
circulation and popularity they lead the
field. In all this the innate Yankee shrewd-
ness of Mr.. Aston has been shown in more
ways than one. For instance, in the March
number of the magazine he publishes
stories by Rudyard Kipling and Frank r.
Stockton, for which he paid the highest
market price. Instead Of bearing the eX-
pense alone. he shares IL with American
publishers. The Kipling story was sold 10
the Harpers, OF this city. and was pub
lished In last weeks Weekly, and the
Stockton story is being issued TO American
newspapers by a syndicate manager OF this
city.
