NJ. BOURGEOIS DECLINES AND NM DEL
CAssE AND KRANTZ RAISE DIFF
TIEs-CONFERENCEs WITH
PRESIDENT LOUBET.

PRESIDENT LOCBET.
Paris, June 15-M Poincare IS continuing his
efforts to form a Cabinet, but meets with nu-
merous difficulties. He has been especially de-
sirous OF having NM Bourgeois. Krantz and
Delcasse in the Ministry. NJ Bourgeois declines
to abandon his mission TO The Hague. NJ Del
casse declines TO take anything but the Foreign
Office portfolio while NJ. Poincare wants him at
the Ministry OF the Interior or the Ministry OF
Marine. and NJ. Krantz raises difficulties con-
cernng the Dreyfus trial. pointing out that he
has discussed the matter already with NJ. Casi-
mir -Perier.
II is understood that several other prominent
men have refused to enter the Cabinet These
rebu4s are likely to discourage NJ. Poincare, who
is modest and difident. and is inclined to steer
clear OF political troubles.
President Loubet received VI. Poincare this
morning for the purpose Of intrusting to him
the task Of forming new Cabinet
NJ Poncare asked for time 10 deliberate
promising to give the President a definite reply
at o'clock this evening NJ. Poincare had con-
sultations this afternoon with NM. Ribot' sar-
rien Meline Peytral and Brisson.
Later in the day II announced that NJ
Poincare had requested the President to grant
him until tomorrow to form Cabinet. as he
has been unable 10 see certain statesmen he Is
desrous Of consulting.
The interview between NM. Loubet and Poin-
care lasted half an hour. In reply 10 the Presi-
dents request that he form Cabinet NJ.
Po!rcare declared that for several years ne
had kept aloof from politics and party strife and
was wholly unprepared to accept, under the
present circumstances the responsibilities OF the
Premiership. NJ Loubet. however insisted
pointing out that Just for these reasons all fac
tions Of Republicans would accept his leader

dent Of the Senate NJ. Fallieres and the Presi-
dent OF the Chamber. NJ. Deschanel had clearly
pointed him out as the man best fitted to realize
the concentration of the Republicans. Finally
NJ. Loubet appealed to NJ Po.ncare's patriotism
and the latter thereupon consented 10 consult
his friends.

icuIties in the way OF his success. 1t Is the
