h Tie news Of the presidents resigna-

Fl Paris. and was received everywhere with

rasss. In the newspaper offices, the first

soon confirmed. Almost simultaneously
crowds began gathering in front of the
rwqaper offices, and in the public

4 anil discussing the situation.
Tae following official communication,
ala,ed or written by NJ. Casimir-Perier,
Was made public before midnight: The
Il PRESIDENT of the republic has taken a res
Fl olaou TO resign his official functions.
Fl Yesterdays proceedings and vote in the
Chamber of Deputies are in
bis eyes but the secondary in
dents of the struggle that has
begun against parliamentary regime and
public liberty. He had hoped that the
T-ssd5n, of the republic, being unprO-
'da1 with means of action, would re-
ra. outside the lines of party struggles,
ana that the political confidence of all
"a parties would give him the necessary
f2ce and authority. He had hoped that
hose who in spite of himself, had placed
bin 20 a position where he cannot de-
ta-i himself, would undertake the de-
ianse Of the first magistrate OF the
STATE He had requested the ministers
20 withdraw their designations provis-
s0naiy in order to assure the regular
traasm.uon Of his powers to his success
ST. Charles Dupuy, president of the
Fomcl. has informed the presidents of
the Senate and Chamber Of Deputies Of
be decision of the president of the re-
l5lc and they are going to convoke
arament with urgency.
N. Challemel-Lacour, president of
de Senate, courteously allowed
mssf to be interviewed by the United
Press correspondent late this evening not
outstanding the great pressure of busi-
ess suddenly thrust upon him by the
lrss.dents resignation. He said that it
7d not yet been decided whether to con
E oae the national assembly to elect
e-essor to NJ. Casimir-Perier for the
th or 18th inst. He viii probably an
bounce the date tomorrow on the meet
as of the Senate and Chamber of Depu-
lasimir-Perier's reference in his public
81 nmunication TO his inability to defend
msen in the presidency may be eX-
aimed by the fact that as he was a sub
erotary of state in the cabinet which
q 1ncllded the railway conventions in 1888,
regards the adverse vote on the sub
in the chamber Monday as d personal
election upon him. although he had no
! Ole in the cabinet when the conventions
Nare made. Whether this be the true rea-
Fon Of his resignation or not, it proves
What length he is prepared to so against
he socialists, whom he regards as aim
-g at a revolution.

'on Of NJ. Casimtr-Periers intention to
