A Kaleidoscope mass of color and light
greeted visitors who entered National Rifles

from view by artistically arranged bunt-
ing of blue, white and gold; hundreds of
pretty girls passed to and fro, clad in
gowns of the same colors, and men in
snowy uniforms were not lacking. At s

ent had increased rather than diminished.

The defeat of the government is not sur
prising in view of the sweeping charges made
against senators, deputies and even minis
tiers, involved first of all in the Panama canal
syndicate and more recently in the South of
France railway management scandals, which
became public as the result of an investiga-
ton made by M. Flory, the official account
ant of that company brought about by ac-
cusations against various prominent men,
made in the chamber Of deputies by NJ. Rou-
anet, which eliminated recently N the ar
rest, trial and Imprisonment of NJ. Edmond
Magnier. formerly senator of the Var and
e6itor-in-chief of the Evenement, who is
said to have received the sum of 81, $50
francs as part of the profits of the syndicate
referred to.
The Figaro said that the following named
members of the chamber of deputies, who
were members of the South of France rail-
way syndicate, made the profits set against
their names: Jules Roche, $1,000 francs; NJ.
Rouvier, 6.750 francs; NJ. Eitenne 1900
francs; NJ. Deloncle, 5000 francs; NJ Passy,
1880 francs; NJ. LIE MERCER, 1880 francs.
The Figaro added that these deputies were
not prosecuted because the official account
ant, NJ. Flory, was of the opinion that the
formation of the syndicate was perfectly
regular and, therefore, its members were not
guilty of corruption.

The fairs held in the past by Captain Ed

successes, but the Corcorans have been
keeping quiet for a number of years in that
particular line. OF late the membership
has almost doubled, and 1t became neces-
sary to provide uniforms for the new men.
To that end funds were necessary, and,
therefore, it was decided to attempt some
thing novel to entertain the public and in
cidentally obtain money, SO military fete
was the result. From the attendance last
evening and the generosity of the visitors,
the fete will undoubtedly prove the most
successful venture in the history of the

Ambassador Patenotre's Opinion.

Ambassador Patenotre of France was
shown the announcement from Paris that
the French cabinet had resigned, and natur-
ally was much surprised, as there had been
no intimation of a crisis. The cabinet as
suned office ten months ago and has served
continuously since President Faure was
elected. The ambasSado SAYS the resiSaa-
tons are not of serious Importance, as
changes of the cabinet have not The same
significance under the French system that
they have in other countries. Moreover,
the railway question, which appears to rave
been the cause for the present rupture, Is
regarded by the ambassador as of minor
consequence. 1t does not involve national
considerations. Nd. Patenotre is hopeful that
any changes effected will not result In the
retirement of NJ. Hanatoux. the minister Of
foreign affairs, whose administration has
been marked by signal ability.
tons do not necessarily imply the retirement
or the cabinet as such designations, pro
forma, are occasionally made to emphasize
the attitude Of the cabinet on pending meas
ures.
The French Railway Scandals.
1t will be recalled that the fall of the Du-
puy cabinet on January il last, which re-
suited in the resignation of President Cash
mir-Perier, grew OUT ofia debate on the
government railways, The government
held that it's guarantee of interest to the
railways expired IN I914, Dut the council OF
state to which the dispute'w was appealed de-
cided that the guarantee was perpetual
The chamber Of deputies censured the min
istry for having subrnitted the question to
the council of state and the cabinet re-
signed, the president following suit the

gigantic scandals of all time, were signed
by NJ. Raynal, as minister of public works
in the Ferry cabinet in 1883, of which cab
met NJ Casimir-Perier was an under secre-
tary of state. A syndicate Of railway COM
panies in that year spent 2O,OOO,OOO francs
in buying journals and deputies. The con-
ventions were so drawn as to, in many
cases, allow interest of 25 per. cent on the
capital subscribed. They allowed guaran-
tees Of interest on all the capital In shares
and bonds but were silent as to the date
when the interest guarantees were to cease.
At one sitting of the chamber in 1888 $780,
600 francs S160,OOO was spent In gaining
three votes. NJ. Ferry had lived in tene-

subsequently in splendid house built for
himself in the aristocratic district of Paris.

Dun & Co.'S Opinion OF tho Commercial

NEW YORK, May ls-R G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: The severe
cold snap, with extensive frosts and in
some states snow, has fortunately done
little damage to the great crops, though
much to fruit, but has considerably re-

week Is the advance of 10 per cent. in
wages by the Carnegie works. followed
by the Jones & Laughlin establishment,
and evidently implying q similar advance
by many other concerns. No advance has

consume 81. 900 pounds per week.
In other departments Of labor troubles
are not serious and the demand fonUmanu.
factured products increases. With
material and steady enlargement in
domestic trade there IS still great want of
employment in the i.sterior for money.
Accordingly wheat has risen nc. although
the reports of injury by frost don't ap'

siderable proportion of the growing grain.
With only six weeks of tho crop year left

that he has made bets amounting TO up
