REVOLUTIONARY
The Situation So Regarded by
the Radicals of the French
Government.
May Declare Its Intention to
Govern Without the Aid of
the Senate.
Pretender Willing to Risk His
Life Would Stand a Chance
of Winning.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The Paris cores
pondent of the Pail Mall Gazette tele-
graphs that the political situation in
France is growing more serious.
"Those who are best informed" this
correspondent writes, consider that
the cabinet has card up its sleeve,
which will cause considerable surprise.
1t is certain that the ministry means to
stop where it is, and there is possibil-
ity of coup d'etat. The government
may declare its intention to govern
without the senate A statesman tells
me that the obstacle is General Saus-
sier, the governor of Paris, and gener-
alissimo in case of war. SausSier is
old, opposed to change and prepared
to march against revolutionary move
ment with the utmost vigor. A few
months ago, he said to one of the mod
crate ministers in power: Keep me so
long as you possibly can. You will
need me and one regiment to master
the Partisan populace and, with Saus-
sier, the soldiers obey their chief. +"
Only a Spark Was Needed.
"Henri Rochefort remarked to me:
Seven years ago two lines in The
Intransigeant, (Rochefort's newspaper)
headed "Down with the senate, would
have suficed for 300, 900 men to imme-
diately march upon the Luxembourg,
(the building, formerly palace of roy.
atty, and also used by Napoleon, which
in 1870 was named the palace of the
senate. That body now occupies it dur
ing its sessions Now there is such
lassitude that column would not call
a dozen men to arms
ga radical leader said to me: IF a
pretender is willing to risk his life, he
would now have a chance of winning
the game.
''The radicals prove that they regard
the situation as revolutionary, by de-
Gliding that the parliamentary bureau
shall sit en- permanence. This is an
echo of the great revolution.
''The latest information is that the
senate hopes, on Friday, to pass a vote
of censure against the government by
even more crushing majority than on
Saturday
NJ. Bourgeois, the premier, has in
formed the members of the left, that
the government does not desire to again
raise the question of confidence in the
chamber of deputies on Thursday next,
preferring to wait for further action
upon the part of the senate

Mr. Newlands of Nevada presented a

ing the ways and means committee to

of commerce of San Francisco had

countries the advantages they now
possessed.
