and quilted the palace of the Elysee under
sense of deep distress. All the mem
bers of the cabinet from Prime Minis
ter Dupuy down, followed Challemet-L La
cour and exhausted every argument to
induce Casimir-Perier not to resign.
Their efforts were without success. Du-
puy again visited the palace of the Ely
see later in the evening and was closeted
with the President for forty-five minutes
urging every possible inducement and ap-
pealing to every patriotic sentiment in
order to get him to reconsider his determi-
nation. All was without avail. After
interviews of the prefect of the Seine
and the prefect of police with NJ. Casimir-
Perier, they received from Dupuy in
structions to be followed during the
crisis The report of the resignation of
the President became generally known at
IL o'clock, but was universally discredit-
ed, and a general movement was made
toward the newspaper Offices with a
view to learning the truth. Soon the
papers exhibited lantern transparencies
of the official note. Even then many
persons refused to believe that the event
was positive. Finally they became con.
vinced that the President had really re-
tired and assembled i'm groups, discussing
the chances of those who would be named
to succeed him.

efforts to abate the spread of anarchy.
But the radically socialistic branch of
French politics has been growing in tur-
bulence and the resignation Of Casimir-
Pericr finds that faction hailing it as a
sign of n crowning success to their ex-
ertions.
Since his induction into Office these
efforts toward socialism have been accom-
panied by persistent attacks upon the
president. There is hint as to the mo-
tive Of Casimir-P Perier's resignation in his
address to the assembly in which he al
ludes to "the campaign of SANDER and in
suit" which has been going on against
every branch of the administration. Per-
sonal attacks and attacks upon his official
career have been constant and unsparing.
And these, together with the crucial and
difficult situation to be faced, have possi-
bly, been the real reasons leading an un-
warrantably thin-skinned official to quit
his post at time of grave danger.
France is in the throes of one of the
most serious crises in its history. The re-
tirement of the Dupuy ministry, followed
by the resignation of President Casmir-
Ferier, may endanger the very stability
of the republic itself. All sorts of sensa-
tional rumors are afloat, and it is even
said that the royalists are preparing to
take advantage of the situation to exc
cute coup d'etat; also that the preten-
der, the Duke of Orleans, has left Eng
land for Belgium in order that he may
keep an eye on events from across the
border
