WAS IT DUPUY'S WORK?
Story Of Casimir-Perier's Do
mestic Troubles Denied.
LIVING HAPPILY WITH HIS WIFE.

It Is limited That Dupuy Was Jealous OF
the Ex-Prcsident's Success and Took Many
Measures 60 Annoy Him, Finally Driving
Him to Resign -spied Upon Constantly.
PARIS, Feb 8. Tho bitter feud between
ex-president Casimir-l etier and EXPIRE
mier Dupuy. which Is surviving the po-
litioal fall Of both. is one Of tho most sin
gular episodes OF the century
The Paris correspondents Of dozen
leading European newspapers. including
NJ de Blowitz Of the London Times have
made 1t clear within the past few days
that NJ. Casmr Eeriers resignation was
wholly due Go sudden but dominating
wrath excited by his premier.
it was know that ri Dupuy nouted the
president authority daily. most hourly
that he even encouraged his associates in
the ministry to follow his example Not
only were Important foreign dispatches
sent without q pretense Of consultation
with the president, but list of promo
tions In the Legion of Honor was promul.
gated without his consent or counsel
So 1t was, too, with regard TO many
internal affairs Of Importance administra.
tlon measures in tho chamber OF deputies
and arrests Of political offenders Almost
revolutionary conflicts with the opposition
became known to the president only after
the premier had made them the property
Of the public at largo.
NJ de BloYitz now declares that Nj.
Dupuy kept NJ. Casmir- Perier continual
~ under the surveillance of police spios
and furnished damaging reports constant
~ TO press agencies concerning the presi
dents habits
No Domestle Infelicity.
Today the statement Is broadly mndI
that the rnmors Of domestic difficulties II
the x-president's family can be traced Il
the same source. Those reports have beer

even the ribald anarchistio press here ha
| ventured to give them publicity.
A fortnight ago the correspondent Of ai
American press association cabled to New
York an apparently authentic report 0
prospective divorce proceedings betweei
the ex-presdent and his wife. Subsequcn
social information Of the absolute falsit.
Of the report led the European manage
to request that the dispatch be withheli
from publication
While no Partisan or other Europeai
journal has given currency to the report
the latest American mails bring copies q
certain New York newspapers In whic
the story takes the explicit shape that nc
only are divorce proceedings in immediat
contemplation, but that M. Casimir- r,
rier and his wife have already separated.
The falsity Of the latter statement
plain to every one because Mime. Casimii
Perier accompanied her husband aftg

residence In Rue Nitot. has remained wit
him there during the interval OF for
