TrarieuN. the Presidents utterances were
loudly applauded This was particularly
the case in regard to NJ. Faure's referen-
ces to the democracy, Frances love for
peace and the coming exposition of 1900
At the conclusion of the reading Of the

pressed their satisfaction in salvos of
cheers.

nation, wherein he had denounced the
country and its representatives. had
again demonstrated the necessity for a re-
vision of the constitution When NJ.

a ministry NJ. Goblet said, President
Faure ought to have summoned another
radical instead Of intrusting the construc-
ton of cabinet TO NJ. Ribot, whose min
istry would merely continue the policy
of the late premier. NJ. Dupay He there
fore proposed a resolution that the cham
Der reject a policy of compromise with
the right and resistance to the democracy.
Premier Ribot replied that the gov
eminent did not aspire to achieve any
thing except the passage of the budget.
This measure being dispose of, they would
leave the chamber to decide whether it
should be a reactional or a reform body.
In the meantime, he believed that his
past history and his attitude while pres

fieient to show his loyalty to the democ-
raey He would, he declared. govern as
! honorably as he had done when he was
premier of the ministry which voted to
institute the inquiry into the Panama
