til the vicinity of the Chamber Of De-
puties was black with people cheering
Cen. Chanoine and the army.

people and the police

resumed business at o'clock, M. Bris-
son announced that the irregular res

cepted and that his successor ad inter-
i'm would

NJ. Meline, approved M. Brisson's
statement and added:

ton calling upon the government to
end the campaign of insult against the
army, but M. Brisson refused to accept
it,
M. Cavaignac. the former Minister
Of War, then rushed to the tribune and
demanded an immediate discussion OF
the resolution. He was greeted with
hostile shouts, including Sabre, u
! Forgery" Razor" which caused a

London, October 25.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Times says:
The days of Boulangism are re-
turning without a Floquet to draw the
sword against a factious general, and
without a Constant to make him cross
the frontier.
The cabinet has been overturned on
mere preteXt, because bands of peo-
pie, collected by those defying authori-
ty while pretending to defend it, have
fomented agitation and almost terror.
In the Rue Royale the rioters tried to
overturn a carriage containing three
Americans. amid cries of Down with
the Jews
"Evidently the taste for street DEM
onstrations is reyiving and perhaps on
Thursday, when the court of cessation
will meet, there will be a renewal of
the uproar.
1T looks as though NJ Brisson gave
up in disgust a position which yielded
him neither pleasure nor greatness.
Nobody has any idea who will succeed
him, unless, perhaps NJ. Faure knows,
for he is alleged to have instigated the
overthrow of the cabinet"
