deputies reopened yesterday the feat
ure was, of course. the statement of the
policy of the new ministry. Premier
Dupuy declared that the fundamental
principle of the republic was the su-
premacy of the civil power. Continuing
he said: in the opinions of individuals
this is the only safe means of calming
the public mind, disturbed by an affair
which cannot much longer cause anxiety
to the republic Other questions call
for the attention and vigilance of
great people. The permanent interests
of the nation at home and abroad, its
greatness and prosperity, Will be the
predominating object of our cares and
efforts" Dupuy then emphasized the
imperative necessity Of fulfilling the
obligations of the exposition of 1900 and
continued:
France must neglect nothing to
maintain the position she has won by
her loyalty. strength and love of peace.
She must devote herself to strengthen
ing this position, which was conse-
Grated before the whole world by a
precious alliance. The governments
foreign policy Will be inspired by the
clear interests of the country and care
viii be taken that our efforts are only
proportionate to the value OF the object
at stake" As TO the Dreyfus case, the
premier added. light will be thrown up
on it the day the court renders its de-
cision. which will be enforced by the
government. The chamber approved the
ministerial declaration by vote of 429
to Ga
Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs,
replying TO demands for the discussion
of the Fashoda question, said he was
unable to fix a date for it in view of the
interests he had to safeguard. but add
ed that he hoped to arrange an early
date for its discussion.

Report That They Have Some Connection
with the Philippine Question.
London. Nov. 5.-Despite the jubila-
tion Of the country over the favorable
announcement by Lord Salisbury re-
garding Fashoda at the Kitchener ban
Quet there is serious uneasiness as to
the real object of continued war prep
arations, which can hardly be justified
even by Lord Salisbury's warning that
there are still matters in dispute with
France.
A dispatch from Hong Kong received
late last night again remarks upon the
unusual naval and military activity
there. The dispatch says that General
Black and his staff have been inspect
ing the old frontier of British Kau-
for erection of defensive works. Field
and siege guns are being mounted, and
themen-of-war lying off Hong Kong are
embarkinE large quantities of ammuni-
ton. The fleet has been signalled to
send no mails by the French steamer
leaving today. This order is regarded
as very significant.
The Berlin correspondent of The
Daily News says: 1T is asserted in
well-informed quar1ers that the British
war preparations ARE connected with
the Philippine question, in which the
United States government is working
in agreement with England. The ru-
niors are revived that the United States
intend ceding to England some of the
islands or granting coaling stations
there"
