DOWNFALL OF BR1ssoN REGIME
Was Pre-arranged Scheme, But the Denouement Was Precipitated by
 Minister of War Chanoine
 Before Signal Was Given.

Paris, October 27-President Faure, at Q o'clock this evening" asked M. Dupuy to form a cabinet, in succession to the Bris- son ministry, which resigned on Tuesday, It is thought that the cabinet will be com- posed as folows
 M. Dupuy, premier and minister of the interior
 M De Freycinet, minister of war
 M. Constans, minister of justice
 M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs.
 M Ribot minister of finance.
 M. Bourgeois, minister of public instruc- tion.
 M Dupuy has asked until tomorrow to decide. But he will doubtless accept the task, unless unforeseen difficulties arise.
 M. Dupuy, who was interviewed as he was leaving the Elysee said the question of the Dreyfus revision was purely judicial, adding: No honest politician will decline to accept the decision which. shall be given.'
 Sketch of Dupuv
 Charles Dupuy, who was called upon by President Faure on Thursday evening to form a new cabinet, was born at Puy on November 5, 1851, and has already been twice premier of France.
 
 normal school, teacher of philosophy, honorary vice rector and an officer of pub lie instruction, Dupuy was elected a dep- uty of the Haute-Leire in 1885, and was re- elected in 1sS9 1893 and 1894. He was min- ister of public instruction in the Ribot cab inet in 1892; president of the council of min- isters (premer and minister of the inte- rior in April, 1895; president of the chamber of deputies in December 1893, and presi- dent of the council and minister of the in- teror in May, 1895, which office he resigned on January IA, 1896. M. Dupuy was regard | ed as strong rival of M. Casimr-Perier | in the canvass for a successor to the late M. Carnot.
 To Protect the Army | London, October 2S.-The Paris corre- | spondent of the Daily News says: "The Brisson cabinet was overturned os- 1 tensibly because it failed to protect the army from islander. The real facts are that the ministers constantly, but vainly, urged the slandered staff officers to take proceedings against the sanderers. Gen eral Mercier, General Zurlinden and Gen eral Chanoine all declined to assist the government to vindicate the armys honor on the plea that 1t was useless to proceed against filthy newspaper rags "Ceneral CndnO1neS resignation was aimed to prevent the civil power getting hold of the Dreyfus dossier. It was call culated that if he went out, slamming the door, that the government would be beaten by parliament being afraid of having the army and the people against it. "The coup was fixed fer today (Thurs- day), but M. DeRouldes' stinging speech provoked Chanoine to precipitste the mat ter
 The Object Accomplished However, the desired object has been accompl shed. M. Brisson was unable during the suspension of the sitting of the chamber on Tuesday to obtain M. Fauies signature for the nomination of a new minister for war. Had he succeeded the secre dossier would now be before the court of cessation, but M. Lockroy, as an ad interim minister, cannot take the in itiative.
 "General Chanoine is one of the few gen. erals in active service who was closely linked with the army of the empire. He is a son-in-law of General Frossar, late prince imperiaPs tutor. M. Brisson probably chose him for the war portfolio because he was on excellent terms with the Russian court and the general French staff.
 The sitting of the court resembled chap ter meeting in a cathedral where passions can have no play as they have in other courts Nevertheless M. Bards report listened to with breathless interest, and a child could understand it. There were no legal technicalities; the facts were allowed to speak for themselves. No con- cusion was suggested, but there were con- cusions to which one could not help com / ing. M. Bard's report cannot be otherwise than favorable to Dreyfus."
 Prince Luis at Geneva
 London, October 2S.-The Rome corrc- spondent of the Times says: T learn that Prince Luis Napoleon, who was supposed to have rejoined his regiment in Russia, is really at Geneva, where he has raised, on special security, a loan of such dimensions as to exclude the hypothesis of it's being required for private purposes. Prince Luis has long been a candidate of the Bonapart- ists for the French throne in preference to his brother, Prince Victor"
