Trouble Arose Over the Removal
Of a Magistrate.
EFFECT ON THE BOU RISE

PARIS. December Lowing to the de-
feat in the senate yesterday, when by a vote
of 1913 to 113 the motion of NJ. Darlan, the
minister of justice, to shelve the discus
sion of the removal of magistrate, which
had been denounced as illegal. was re-
jected, NJ. Darlan has requested Premier
Meline to inform President Faure that he
has rendered his resignation.
NJ. Darlan, the retiring minister of JUS
tice. was one of the most pronounced sup
porters of the maintenance of the senate
when the existence of that house was
threatened during the parliamentary crisis
of April last year. 1t Is noteworthy that
his downfall has been caused by an adverse
vote of the senator's
Whole Ministry May Resign.
The cabinet met this evening. The news
papers express the belief that all the min
listers will resign and that M. Meline, the
present premier, will undertake to recon-
struct the cabinet.
The feeling among the deputies was
against the whole cabinet resigning.
Securities Show Weakness.
Securities On the bourse today after a firm
opening. were rather agitated on the diff
ferent rumors which followed the report
of the resignation of the minister of JUS
tice, NJ. Darlan, while, in addition, the
Spanish news was regarded as less reas-
surfing and caused a drop later with
heavy disposition.
