The Attention of Europe Centereo
on the Gay Capital.
Paris, Jan. 16.-The attention of the
whole of Europe is centered upon this
city. There is no doubt that the politi-
cal crisis resulting from the resignation
of the deputy minister and the subse-
quent resignation of President Casimir-
Perier is the most serious in the his
tory of France. However, the crisis
has not had any great effect upon the
bourse. Rentes opened this morning
only L francs lower and advices re-
ceived here from Vienna say the open
ing Of the bourse there was firm.
The ministers met at 10 a. N. to dis
cuss the situation and the Socialist
group of deputies will meet at p. m. to
an lnge a programme. Rumors are cir
culating that the dissolution of parIia-
ment is expected. The opinion as ex-
pressed this morning at the clubs and
on the boulevards is unanimous with
the press in strongly condemning NJ.
Casimir-PeTier for having resigned in
the midst of a parliamentary crisis.
Political Situation Discussed.
The ministers alet at noon again to-
day and It is understood the whole
political situation was thoroughly dis
cussed. The meeting took place at the
ministry of the interior, which was sur
rounded by crowds eagerly discussing
The crisis in the affairs OF France, In
some quarters it is stated the resigna-
non or the president is not considered
ohlclal until it is announced in the
cnan6er Of deputies. 1t is expected the
nLIclal announcement will be made to
Ihat BODY about 6 o'clock this after
noon. One significant feature of rhe
resignation OF the president is the fact
mat his action is condemned even bv
MS most Intimate encourage.
