The NEW FRENCH CABINET.
H. BOURGEOIS FORMS A CONSERVATIVE
RADICAL MINISTRY.
WHY n. HANoTAUX MAY NOT ACCEPT THE FOR
ErGN PORTFOLIO MEMBERS STRONG IN
ANTI-FoREIGN PoLICY-DIFFICUL~

TIES TO BE COMMENDED.
Paris Oct. SIN. Bourgeois has succeeded in
forming Cabinet all the portfolios having been
accepted. with the exception Of that of the For
eign Ministry. The rev Cabinet is constituted
as follows:
Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior-M.
BOURGEOIS.
Minister OF Warm. CAVAIGNAC.
Minister Of Marine-M. LOCKROY.
Minister of Finance-M. DOUMER.
Minister of Justice-M RICHARD.

Minister of Public Instruction and worship-M.
BERTHELOT
Minister OF Public works-M GUYOT- T-DEssAIGNE.
Minister of Commerce-M. MESUREUR.
Minister of Agriculture-M. VIGER.
NJ Bourgeois had asked NJ. Hanotaux to re-
tain the foreign PORTFOLIO but NJ. Hanotaux Is
said to have demanded that the new Cabinet
shall permit him to defend his policy in NADIA
gascar and that the treaty Just concluded be-
tween the Hova Government and France shall
not be modified This is directly in opposition
TO the views of NJ Bourgeois and his friends,
especially NJ Cavaignac, who prefer the annexa-
ton of the island TO the protectorate established
BY the terms of the treaty. Moreover. NJ. Hano-
taux is not inclined to enter a Ministry which
includes extreme Radicals in its membership.
The new French Cabinet will be called,
doubteo.y. by many people. a radical Cabinet mainly
q Radical. we'll three of the Ministers he mas
taken his colleagues. But it would be much
more correct to say that the French Ministry
IS Conservaiive-Radica Up to the general e.ec-
tions Of 1898 the Radicals formed in France party
without other epithet or qualification. They were
led by Cemenceau. the man who overthrew so
many Cabinets belonging TO the Opportunst or
Conservative Republican party, which could not re-

Ciericals and Monarchists. anxious TO throw dis-
credit upon the Republic through permanent Min
