THE FRENCH CRISIS.
BoarseQis's announcement Of RsSlSna-
tion Of The Cabinet.
DEPUTIES AND THE SENATE.
Their Respective PrerogatIves, as
Pointed Out by the Retiring Pre-
mier--Reafirmntion of Principle of
Universal Suffrage.

PARIS, April 23.-An unusually large
crowd assembled outside the Chamber OF
Deputies this morning, and the galleries
were packed with visitors as soon as
they were opened to the public. When
the sitting OF the Chamber was for
mally opened Premier Bourgeois read a
declaration recalling the circumstances Of
the vote OF the Madagascar credit, which
the Senate refuses to sanction, thus
rendering IL impossible TO make expen-
ditures which are indispensable. What
ever the motives of the Senate may
have been, he sa.. the Cabinet thought
that patriotism imperatively demanded
that they should subordinate everything
to the question of national dignity and
security, which no considerations OF
home politics ought to outweigh. The
Cabinet were, therefore, resolved to make
way for another Ministry. though they
were not forgetful OF their other duties
toward the Chamber OF Deputies and the
republic.
Mr.. Bourgeois, continuing, said: 'The
Chamber has often given US proofs OF it's
confidence, and we feel our inability TO
present to the President our designations
before Informing you of our reasons for
taking such action and assuring you that
no other reason influences us in quitting
our posts. We cxpnot allow the error
TO gain hold that We in resigning aban-
don the principle of our most illustrfous
predecessors, such as Leon Gambetta and
Jules Ferry, that the Chamber alone Is
able to make or unmake cabinets. FL
deity to this doctrine has caused US to
incur the reproach Of being an unconsti-
tutional ministry. The National Assembly
alone is entitled to interpret the const-
tution of a ministry"
NJ. Henri Rlcard moved resolution de-
claring that the Chamber reaffirmed the
right of prepondfrance In the represen-
tation of the principle of universal suf-
frage.
Ex-Premer Goblet expressed regret at
the retirement of NJ. Bourgeois and his
colleagues and. continuing his remarks,
said: "The Chamber Of Deputies can
not abdicate in favor Of the Senate"
NJ Goblet then offered motion propos-
ing that the Chamber declare itself as
supporting the Cabinet.
NJ. Maurice Lebon Rep), moved that
the Chamber adjourn.
NJ Jourres, the leader Of the Socialists
in the Chambe-. argued that the adjourn
ment OF the Chamber would be equlva-
lent to the submission Of the Chamber
TO the Senate.
The motion to adjourn was rejected by
a vote of 2S' to 2sS and NJ. Ricard's mo-
ton was adopted by large majority.
THE CABINET RESIGNS.
PARIS. April 23.-The members of the
Bourgeois Ministry proceeded this morn
ing TO the Elysee. the residence Of Presi-
dent Faure and formally rendered their
designations. NJ Faure was awaiting
their coming. and accepted the reslgna-
tions as soon as they were presented

ATLANTA. GA. April 2s.--Alexander
Carr, the murderer, was to-day declared
insane by jury He was sentenced to
be hanged tomorrow. but this will save
him. Carr killed John King here In
1891. The murderer soon began to feign
insanity. For more than year he did
not speak a word. Experts pronounced
him a victim of dementia, but, despite
this, he was convicted Of murder and SEN
tenced to be hanged. One month ago,
iust a few days before the date set
for his execution, he broke his long ST.
lence. and stated that he had been sham
ming all the time. The Governor gave
him thirty days respite, to see whether
or not he was sane To-day he was ex-
amIned and pronounced insane. He will
be sent 10 an asylum. II is still ques-
ton with a great many whether he Is
sane or insane.

treated up the hill.

struck by a rock while standing at the end
of the pier and sustained a severe contu-

considerably bruised, while Marcus Bell,
the colored man, had his head and eye
badly cut and received other severe in
juries about the body.
The gang dignified their organization
by the name Of The Press" because, as
one cynical fellow remarked, they press
their way into excursions picnics and
wherever they like without paying"
'Marylanders had nothing TO do with
this disgra ceful affair; in fact, they aided
the military in their ell counter with the
roughs, and WED with one another in ex-
tending courtesies to the excursionists.
1t is perhaps well that company was
Nnprovided with ammunition, for had they
been fully armed there can be no doubt
that the fracas would have ended with
more serioI results.

A Lively Fight.

fellow named Jarvis and Reddy Doyle, had
again caught the colored man, and half
dozen were beating him at once, when Lieut..
Crandell and Sergt McBlair Of company C
of the infantry, several members of COM
pany A and two or three others ran from
the pier for the purpose of rescuing the col
ored man from the clutches of his assail-
ants. They were Immediately set upon by
the roughs, who cried: Down with the
military Don't let EN- landr' Come
on: press and form in liner Kill the SOL
diers,' etc, etc The fight then began in
earnest. Lieut.. Crandell laid out one of the
roughs in good style, but was instantly
knocked down himself and set upon by
three or four of them. seeing which. Sergt.
McBlair, who carried a musket with fixed
bayonet, charged them, driving them back.
and inflicted a painful wound in the hand
Of one and in the ribs of another The bat
tie now ragged furiously for several rods
along the beach.
The ruffians fought desperately, with
their fists and with rocks, and for time it
looked as II they would drive their OPP
ponents on the pier. Shouts, curses and
cries were heard on all sides; dancing in the
