ten In Internal Strife.
Paris, Oct. 27.-The activity Of the po-
ice and the mob continues, and arrests
are being made upon the slightest prov
)cation. All the troops are being held
n their barracks ready for action.
The conservative and moderate news
papers, though recognizing the fact that
General Chanoine violated parliament
tary custom in the manner Of his resig-
nation, maintain that he acted wisely
in withdrawing from the cabinet which,
one paper observes, seems DESTROYS Of
disorganizing the army for the benefit
Of the revisionists and those without a
country"
The Petit Journal, in report of an
interview, represents General Chanoine
as explaining that his resignation was
due to differences between himself and
NJ. Brisson regarding the case of Colo
mel Picquart. The Matin and The Rap
pei denounce General Chanoine in the
strongest terms, The Rappel saying
that if he had received his deserts he
would have been lodged within the
walls of Mont Valerien.
The Dreyfus and Socialist organs
openly declare that the action of Gen.
eral Chanoine in resigning In the face
Of an attempt to uphold the civil power
is clear proof of the existence of the
reported military conspiracy to seize
the government.
The newly named Nationalist jour-
nails are fairly delirious with Joy over
the downfall of the ministry. The Libre
Parole says: Treason triumphed for
three months, but France took her re-
venge in a single day."
M. Clemenceau, in the columns of The
Aurore, on the other hand. declares
that he and his fellow fighters in behalf
of truth will be killed before they will
give up the struggle. They are more
confident than ever of the uitimat. re-
suit.
The references of the press to Fasho-
da are very meager and attract little
notice. The prospect of war with Great
Britain has failed to draw the attention
of the Partisan populace from the Drey
fus case and the conflict for supremacy
between the military and civil author
tiles. AS result of the overthrow OF
the ministry the streets of the city are
filled with demonstrative crowds, which
have hoWled themselves hoarse with
their bitter denunciation Of the govern
ment.
The affairs of France are in bad
way and the hysteiical attitude of the
people is not helping to mend matters.
After it's turbulent session the chamber
Of deputies adjourned until Nov. T.
Ribot May De Premier.
President Faure is consulting with
the presidents Of the senate and cham
Der as to the formation of new min
istry. 1t is the general impression
among the deputies that President
Faure will ask M. Alexandra Ribot to
form new cabinet.
NJ Ribot has an American wife. She
is a very beautiful woman and Is the
daughter of the late Isaac N. Burch OF
Chicago. Her first husband was NJ.
Demangeot, who was one of M. r bots
closest friends. She Is closely related
to the Corning and Pruyn families Of
Albany and to the Curtiss and Burch
families of Buffalo
In the meantime the present cabinet
officers continue to act. General Cha
nome. the minister of war, who resign
ed without giving any notice of his in
tentions to his colleagues in the min g.
try, will be succeeded by M. Eduard
Simon Lockroy the present minister of
marine, who will act as minister of war
pro tenn.
The next minister of war is likely to
be a civilian. 1t is not thought that
another soldier will be given the port
folio 1t has been necessary for the
government. owing to the aggressive
ness of the army, to repeatedly affirm
the supremacy of the civil over the
military power.
President Faure's action in refusing
to see General Chanoine after his sem
sational withdrawal from the cabinet
is being much commented on.
Two Hundred and Fifty Arrests.
The cuirassiers have been battling
with the crowds for hours. At many
points the boulevards have been impas-
sable. Cries of Down with the Jews!"
Spit upon Brisson!" Forgery" Long
live the army!" Down with the trail
tors!" and Long live the republic!"
have been heard. Two hundred and fif-
ty persons have been arrested and Is
or more have been injured.
Youthful Royalsts to the number of
several hundred made a demonstration
in front of the Military club. land, carry
ing the tricolor, started for the offices
of The Soleil and Gaulois, singing, "C'est
Gamelle Quill Nous Fault" eve want
Gamelle. We must have Gamelle). They
referred to the Duke of Orleans. A
crowd of Republicans met them and
captured their flag.
A mob of members of the Patriotic
league smashed shop windows at Rue
Amber and Rue Scribe.
The socialistic vigilance committee
has decided to organize all socialists
and revolutionary Republicans against
military and clerical reaction"
In the Rue Royale 10000 persons
gathered about bonfire made of the
Dreyfusite newspaper Les Droits de
| Homme and sang the "Marseillaise."
Shops in the neighborhood were all
closed in anticipation of rioting. The
police and cuirassiers finally succeeded
n dispensing the crowd.
