The premier, II. Dupuy, replied, saying
he realized yesterday was fete day fos
the Republicans. He added thai there
had been but few incidents and that the
only instructions to the police were to
maintain order. The government, he con-
tinued, had ordered an inquiry. into this
responsibility for the affairs.at the Pa.
vilion dArnsnsnville andsthe Rue Mon-
tartre. At the same time the premier
pointed out, the governments aoknowl.
edged the services Of the police.adding
that the maintenance.of. the government
was impossible without public order,

from the Leftlsts.)
After n. Dupuy's statemsnb NJ.
Clovis Hughes, Socialist. and others COM
planned Of the police treatment yesterday.
Finally the closure was declared and half
dozen orders of the day were moved.
The premier supported the order of the

proving the order of the deciaration q,
the government for which. priority was

for M. Ruaau1s motion.
| Finally ID. Dupuy declared the govern
ment would accept nothing short of NJ
Saumande's order of the day and the
chamber promptly carried II. Ruaau's mo-
| ton. ns.-rs
/ The text of M. Ruaau's motion was az
| follows: 4e
1.-THE chamber Is determined to support
a government resolved to defend vigorous
ly Republican institutions and to secure
public order and passes to the order Of
the day. After the vote was announceG
| the Socialists shouted t'Vive Ia Republb
que" aud the ministers left the house ana
the chamber adjourned
Z President Loubet accepted the /, resigna-
Etions OF the cabinet officers but has re-
quested them TO retain their Offices until
their successors were named 1t is pre-
sumed III. Loubet VIII summon thel presi-
dents of the chambers tomorrow in order
to consult with them in regard to thl
formation of a new cabinet.
The interview between NJ. Dupuy anC
his colleagues and Presidents Loubet was
brief bus cordial. The President expressed
his thanks for the support he had received
| from retiring ministers, adding that he
would always remember their services
| gratefully.
M.Dupuy was agreeably surprised at M.
Loubet's cordially. There are already
many surmises as to the composition of
/ the new cabinet, but 1t Is pointed out thas
as the Dupuy cabinet did not fall on
question involving the political complee
ions of the ministry, 1t Is difficult to see
on what basis the new cabinet will be
| selected.
OF the statesmen already named In parli-
amentary circles in connection with the
| premiership of the new cabinet, those
most frequently mentioned are III. Ray
mond Pointcafe. deputy, for Meuse who
| was minister of publio instruction at the
time of the Dreyfus court martial and
who testified before the court Of cessation
| that ID. Dupuy had recently said to him,
E'I think weatwere the victims of big
hoax in 1s94J' M. Del Case, minister
| Of foreign affairs in the retiring cabinet;
| M Brisson, who was M. Dupuy's imme-
1 diate predecessor In the premiership he
has just resigned, and Senator Pierre
Waidck Rousseau, who was minister of
interior In the cabinet of Gambetta in
1881, and again in the Ferry cabinet in
| 1888.
The successive votes In the Chamber of
Deputies today clearly demonstrated the
existence of majority, including men,
bers OF all parties who were determined to
rid themselves of the premiership of NJ.
Dupuy. The Interpolation Of NJ. Vail
LIANT was simply a oleyerly selected pre-
text to conceal the real cause of the ap-
preaching crisis.
| Socialists and Radicals alike are dis
satisfied with what they have considered
the contradictory attitudes of tha Dupuy
cabinet in the Dreyfus affair. The
Moderates thope to secure the return of
| nj. Meltne to power. The revolutiona-
ries, nationalists, anti-semites hope, In
their opposition to M. Dupuy, to find d
more tolerant man in his successor. This
| is the explanation of today's voting re-
| sulting In the downfall Of ths cabinet
The supporters of the government num-
bered only 173, recruited In the most part
from the ranks of the moderate radicals.
| All tho royalists aud many radicals de-
mand that responsibility must be brought
home to Gen. De- Boisdetfre and Gen.
Mercier. At the same time those taking
j this view have been All along persuaden
that Nj. Dlpuy would never proceed t.
| that extreme Accordingly ey seiz.i
upon NJ Vail.ant's intepl 81 atioa
| means of expressing the delance and
TRUST of the Dupuy ministry. Cerisr
there Is no denying the fact that u {
tion of the final settlement of the ID y
fus cass hangs like dead weight upon
the situation tonight and win prove a
