LONDON. April 25.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Chronicle says:
At the Socialists melting a letter of
apology for his absence from M. Goblet
caused an uproar and shouts of treach-
cry" M. Pelletan declared Paris must
rise and take another Bastile. Another
revolution was necessary, he said, and
another onslaught upon such strong
holds of capital as the Rothschilds.
Other speakers followed in the same
strain.
Some blows We're struck outside In
the conflict with the police. Two jour-
nalists of Libre Parole We're arrested.
but We're released in ten minutes. Ru-
mors of President Faure's resignation
are rife. M. Waldeck Rosseau is al
ready a center of attraction as possi-
BILE successor. M. Faure's family and
encourage favor his resignation, but the
president is made of sterner stuff than
was Casimir- Perier. The palace of Ely
see is guarded tonight by 100 extra cav
airy.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says: 1t is stated the resignation
of the cabinet was delayed to enable
them to consult the Russian ambassa-
dor, who discouraged the policy of radi-
cal resistance to the senate.
SOCIALISTS ACTIVE.
PARIS, April 24.-President Faure
conferred with M. I.oubet Brisson, Pey
trail and Poincarne today He will re-
ceive M. Bourgeois, Leboyer and Mel
met this afternoon.
The newspapers agree that yester-
days vote in the chamber of deputies
had brought the constitutional crisis to
al acute stage, and that the majority of
the papers anticipate a dissolution of
the chamber. This course is favored
by many of the senators.
The socialists regard the proceedings
in the chamber in the light of victory
and damand the summoning of the ma
tional assembly. The Conservatives
predict presidential crisis.
President Faure put in the day in con-
ference with the political leaders of the
various parties, and NJ. Bourgeois sue
cessor is still undetermined.
Nj. Loubet assured the president that
the senate, having affirmed its consti-
tutional prerogatives, would not offer
any factious opposition to radical cab
met
M. Brisson and NJ. Poincairne advised
the president to form a Radical Repub-
lican cabinet. NJ. Faure had over an
hours conversation with M. Melinet,
and it is believed he has asked him to
form q cabinet. as it was foreshadoWed
he would do last night. But M. Melinet
wants a decree to dissolve the chamber
and go to the country as condition of
his accepting the responsibility of form
ing a cabinet, and this request President
Faure hesitates to agree to. The ac-
tivity of the Socialists is a noticeable
feature. and makes it evident that they
regarded q Bourgeois cabinet as more
aptly representing them than any other
they can hope for. Their wrath against
the senate is scorrespondingly deep.
An immense meeting of Socialists was
held tonight at the Tivoli VauXhall to
protest against the action of the senate.
Thousands of persons had to be turned
away, as they were unable to enter
Many deputies were among those pres
ent.
NJ. Pelletan made an address to the as
sembly in which he declared that the
time had arrived for action and that
the people must no longer put faith in
words M. Juares ad Valiant also spoke
When a resolution was put censuring
the senate and advocating a revision of
the constitution there were cries from all
parts of the hall of Down with the sem
ate" The meeting finally broke up in
disorder and with violent shouts against
the senate. The Republican guard of
police barred the way TO the Place de la
Republipue, and in order to prevent
the noisy demonstrators from reaching
the boulevards they turned them in
the direction of the Canal st. Martin.
Several persons were arrested. A few
groups reached the boulevards in spite
of the efforts of the police and paraded
noisily up and down shouting Down
with the senate.
The parade of the Socialists in the
boulevards caused some uneasiess
and prompt measures We're taken to
suppress it.
