DUPUY DOWN ON JOHN BULL.
Three Members Of His New Cabinet
Hot Against England.

Both Sides Anxious to Adjourn.
The Release of the Irish Fund in
Paris-Ohurch Doors Stolen.
London, Juno 2-The formation of a
French cabinet with three ministers,
NM. Poincare, Dclcasse and Hanotaux,
avowedly hostile to great Britain, excites
grave apprehension in English ministe-
rial circles The record OF NJ Hauotaux,
the new French minister Of foreign at
fairs, places him in the front rank as
a combatant Of English occupation of
Egypt, and militant advocate of
French rights in Newfoundland, in the
protectorate over Siam, in French expan-
sion in Africa, and generally as an enemy
of England, wherever the latter comes
into competing contact with France. M.
Poincare and NJ. Delcasse have deliber-
ately expressed their determination to
oppose the Aaglo-Belgian agreement in
relation to the Congo frontiers not alone
to protest, but by active measures,
ana to vindicate the claims OF
France in the territory of the Up-
per Nile. Other members of M.
DuPuy's cabinet are also known to
entertain strong anti-English views, and
IL is consequently held as certain that
diplomatic situation with a severe ten
sion between the two governments Is
about to set in, embracing the whole field
of International disputes. If the coll
leagues of NJ. Hanotaux give him full
support aggressive movements in New
foundland, Siam and the region of the
Upper Nile, may be expected.
RosEBERRY's DECLARATION.
H.
ference, the agreement between Great
Britain and Belgium, Lord Roseberry's
declaration last evening, fatty denying
the right of France 10 interfere. will by
no means meet the difficulty. The French
expedition, which is how marching from
the French CONGO territory toward
Bahrel Ghazel win not be. deferred,
under instructions from Minister
Hanotaux, from occupying territory
which England holds only upon paper
rights. The earl Of Kimberly Secretary Of
State for foreign affairs, to-day received
a communication from M. De Crais, the
French ambassador TO England, exc
plicitly declaring that France holds the
Anglo Belgian agreement as invalid and
it Is absurd 70 assume in the face OF this
notification that the command of the
French expedition has not received instruc
tions to occupy the disputed territory. 1t
is the opinion Of officials OF the foreign
Office here, that everything points to the
ultimate reference of the matter to an In
ternational conference, or board of ar
bitration, but IL is a question whether
the bellicoses DuPuy will assent TO either.
Anyhow, there are lively times ahead for
England.
A LEGISLATIVE FIAsoo.
A legislative fasco appears to be Inn
pending in the present session Of parlia-
nit n MI
plication of the closure rule the
budget clauses will occupy the
attention of the House of Com
mons until the middle of July. The
ministerials admit that the Welsh church
disestablishment and local option bills
must be dropped, and the registration
limited to q brief and non-contentious
measure; simply shortening the period Of
the residence qualification. This will SO
thoroughly emasculate the bill as to de-
prive it of any benefit to any one in par
ticular, and make it not worth while for
the opposition to resist it's passage. The
McCarthyites have been given the
assurance that whatever bills may be
necessarily sacrificed, the evictedltenants
bill will - passed before parliament is
prorogued, but as the measure is certain
of prompt rejection by the House OF
Lords, the government pledge to push
the measure through does not I'LL the
hearts of the leaders of the Irish party
with any great degree OF JOY.
ANXIOUS TO ADJOURN.
Both sides are desirous that parliament
shall be prorogued by August. at the lat
est, and to attain this object the leaders
of the opposition have privately proposed
to the government to assist In winding up
the session, providing that all business be
abandoned except the budget and tho
completion of the supply bill. In these
circumstances even the evicted tenants
bill stands a chance of being frozen out.
Apart from the government measure.
the liberation Of the Paris fund would
greatly ease the situation Of the evicted
tenants in Ireland. Out of 944 900, the
amount Of the fund, about g14, 900 will be
paid out to meet obligations which were
incurred prior to the disruption Of the
Irish party. A portion Of this will go to
the Parnellites and the rest TO tho
McCarthyites. The Rremaining e9o,000
will be devoted TO the relief OF the evicted
tenants.
Sixty-one members Of the commons
have assurances Of other adherence to the
anti-lords' platform Of the National Re-
form Union. The progress Of this move
ment will enforce the conference Of the
national liberal federation to be held at
Leeds to pass resolutions ad vocating more
extreme measures. The speaker says the
unity OF the liberals ana thelr political
future depend upon the result Of the anti.
lords campaign.
CHURCH DOORS STOLEN.
A row has occurred in town Of Strait
ford Upon-Avon over the doors of the
church, wherein the immortal was
bard the wont TO worship, and
where lie his remains. The
warden of the church sold the doors,
and they were taken down, ostensibly TO
be repaired They were traced to the
yard OF a lumber dealer, who will be
made to restore them and the warden
will be disciplined.

A device for stopping up shot holes in
war vessels, invented by a marine en-
Pineer named Douglas. and accepted by
the British government, has been tested
by the United States cruiser Chicago. 1t
resembles a parachute with a rubber
cover, supported by steel ribs.
II is pushed through the hole
made by the shot, when it ex-

outside Of the vessel, preventing an in
