M. Bourgeois Will Try What
He Can Do.
THE NEW PRESIDENT OF FRANCE

IT, 4. Expected That Two of Ex-Prest-
dent Casimir- Perier's ministers are
willing to Accept Positions in the
New Cabinet Now Being Formed.
PARIS, January 21.-The election Oh
M. Felix Faure to the Presidency mas
been well received by the Moderate press,
and is violently criticised by the Raoicai
and Socialist newspapers. Paris was
very tranquil last night. The working
classes were astonished at M. Brisson's
defeat, but no demonstration was report
ed. A meeting of Socialists took place
this evening at the Maison du Peupie, al
which resolutions strongly condemnlng
M. Felix Faure and demanding the sup
preston of the Presidency were adopted
amid cries of "Vive la revolution socl'
ale" and "Down with reaction"
General Fevrier, Grand Chancellor Of
the Legion of Honor, gave M. Faure to-
day the collar of Grand Master OF the
order. 1t was learned at 10 o'clock this
evening that M. Bourgeois after Two
hours conference with NJ. Faure had
consented to try to form Cabinet. lie
will go to the Elysee tomorrow to report
the result of his negotiations. 1t Is ex-
pected that M. Poincarre will return 10
the Ministry Of Finance and M. Leyguess
to the Ministry of Education. Paul
Peytral, Louis Terrier and Eugene Code
troy Cavaignac would accept Cabinet
places under M. Bourgeois as Premier.
Ex- President Casimr-Perier is ex-
pected to vacate the Palace OF the Ely
see and return to his residence, NO. 20
Rue Nitola, tomorrow. The retiring
President had cordial interview to-day
with his successor, who will occupy the
palace tomorrow. The date for the assem-
bling of Parliament to hear the new
Presidents message has not yet been
fixed. M. Hanataux, Minister OF For
eign Affairs, submitted to M. Faure for
his approval to-day draft OF telegram
informing the representatives OF France
abroad OF the election of M. Faure to
the Presidency.
The staff Of the Ministry of Marine
called upon President Faure to-day, and
babe farewell to him as their chief. The
President then went to the Elysee Pal
ace, where he was received with military
honors.
NO CHANGE OF PARTY.
WASHINGTON, January 21.-"The cleo
ton of M. Faure," says Jules Patenotre,
the French Ambassador to the United
States, "means change in the name OF
the President of France, but not change
of political party. M. Faure was a mem
Der of the Cabinet which resigned few
DAYS ago, and is therefore friend of M.
Casimir -Perier. 1t is not likely that
there will be change in political policy,
as the same party to which M. Casimir-
Perier belonged is still in power. 1t is a
fortunate thing, think, that we do not
delay in France in making our politicaI
changes. Not more than forty-eight
hours-less than that in fact-have
elapsed since M. Casimir-P erier rendered
his resignation, and here we have his
successor selected. Quick action in such
cases serves to bring quiet to the coun.
try, which is always somewhat agitated
when the Office of President is vacant
and a Ministerial crisis is at hand. Wha
will become of M. Casimir-Perier? He
will retire from political life, presume
He did not want the Presidency when il
was given him, and he is probably thank
full to be enabled to retire."
AS to the cry of "Long live the King
uttered by the Duke of La Rochfonld il
the Chamber of Deputies when M. Cas-
imir- Perier's letter had been read M
Patenotre said it meant nothing. Sucl
cries were always to be heard at sucl
times. but the royalists had no power il
the administration of affairs. There ar,
scarcely twenty-five of the royalist part,
in the chamber, said the Ambassador
| M. Patenotre has known the new Pres
ldent of France for twenty years, blu
they have not seen much of each other
as the Ambassador has been absent from
his country on diplomatic service durin
most of that time.
