THE HAWAIIAN CABLE.
ON THE EDGE OF COLLAPSE
How the Meilne Ministry Was All Bnt
Wreck d, and What Saved It

London, Nov. 19.-The Pail Mall Ga
Zette this afternoon publishes a dispatch
from Paris which says that the Meline
ministry had another hair-bredth escape
in the chamber OF deputies yesterday
when the Dreyfus matter was brought
up. The dispatch adds:
AT one moment, the miniStry'S best
friends had abandoned all hope and
nothing but the patriotism animating a
number Of deputies independently of
party politics, saved it from downfall.
The dOmineering tone Of General Billot,
the minister for war, reused the hostili-
ties OF the chamber and NJ. Meline at
first declined to supplement Billot's
statement, until he noticed this his own
friends were deserving him. Finally he
accepted the compromise lin form Of a
modification of ". CastelineS motion
calling upon the government TO take ac-
ton in the case and expressing conf
dence that the government would seek
20 punish the intrigues) There was an
animated discussion afterwards in the
Hobbies. It was the general impression
that the government would be forced to
order new prosecutions in connection
with the Dreyfus case; that it was pre-
posterous for the country to pay s12.5OO
yearly for the prisoners keeping and
that it would have been better to shoot
him.
The Journal today says it understands
that in consequence of the debate on the
Dreyfus case in the chamber of deputies
yesterday, the minister of justice, M
Darlan, has instructed the public prose-
cutor To reopen the inquiry into the af-
fair.
In the senate today the president. NJ.
Loubet, submitted TO that body the
proposition OF II. Guillemet adopted In
the chamber of deputies on Wednesday
last TO substitute universal suffrage for
the municipal councils in the election of
delegates who elect senators. A motion
OF urgency was rejected by vote OF 212
to 80

QUARANTINE AGAINST BOMBAY.
Plague in That City Is Spreading and the
Pepp'e Are Fleeing,

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 19.-The steam
er olympia, which arrived last night
from Hong Kong, brought news that pas
sengers from Bombay to Europe will
probably have to undergo quarantine on
arrival In European ports, on account Of
the plague. The corporation has voted
lakh Of rupees for measures to extirpate
the disease. The latest news is that the
sourage Is spreading, seventeen new cases
and eight deaths having occurred in the
northern part Of the city, where there IS
no drainage. The health officer finds
great difficulty in getting laborers for
cleaning and disinfecting owing to their
fear OF coniagion.
AT Calcutta vigorous precautionary
measures are being taken. Two hospi-
tails ere TO he constructed at an isolated
spo. and plans nave been formed FOR an
ambulance corps. The plague has just
broken cut al Ahmedabad, where the
grav%st fears are felt, the town being
fenseiy populated and the water supply
is difficult. a few showers OF rain would
probably stamp out the disease. II is
estimated that $4,000 people have left
Bombay since the outbreak.
