lists Decide to support the Cabinet.
Paris, June 24.-The first cabinet
council of the new ministry was held
at the Elysee palace last night, Presi-
dent Loubet presiding. At this meet
ing the general lines of declaration
to be made by the government on
Monday were decided upon. A miu-
isterial statement will be drafted at a
council to be held tomorrow.
At the instance Of General the Mar
quis de Gallife;, minister of war, the
council decided upon the transfer OF
number of superior officers OF the
army for indulging in manifestations
unbecoming soldiers"
The Radical Socialists have decided
to support the government. provided it
defends the republic. When this de-
cision was made known M. Charles
Camille Pelletan, deputy for AK CIR
conscription) and few others with
draw from the group.
Not for a long period has a French
ministry been greeted with such signs
of unanimous hostility. Judging from
the tone of the papers OF all shades,
the cabinet can scarcely live single
day, and the prediction is more freely
made than ever that defeat on Mon
day is inevitable.
1t is rumored that parliament will
be prorogued within a few days to
enable the government to carry out its
program unhamperad No doubt the
cause of hostility is the presence OF
General De Galiifet, and when the
paroxism of anger. eXhausts itself 1t is
not unlikely that revulsion of feel
ing will occur and that the govern
ment will get good majority in the
chamber of deputies. The actual
names of the officers who are to be
transferred will not be publicly known
until they appear in the official journal,
but there Is good authority for the
statement that Generals MERCER,
Gonse and De Pellieux will not be in
cluded.
1t is announced that the Dreyfus
trial will be absolutely public.
The Temps says: "The composition
of the cabinet may appear extraordin-
ary in the face Of the material tran
quillity existing, but, unhappily, moral
tranquility does not prevail In the
same degree. The cabinet will shortly
prorogue parliament and take upon
itself alone the solution Of the Drey-
fus affair. Within the limits Of its
power the government might do some
useful work by defending the army
against the imprudent language of its
representatives and against the at
tacks of its enemies, by causing re-
speCt for the magistrates and their de-
cisions, and by protecting the Drey-
fus court martial against the menaces
Of some and the batteries of others"
M. De Blowitz, the Paris correspond
ent of The London Times, telegraphs
that paper:
"The incongruity and lack of CO.
hesion that characterize the new cabi-
net really explain its existence These
men have sunk their personal ambi-,
tions and antagonsms in order to save
the country from threatened revolu-
tion. They have devoted themselves to
the defense of law and honor. 1t is
conception of r:2.'':.'..cc tism and de''~
tion proving that France, by one of
those supreme efforts familiar to her
in emergencies, is proudly recovering
herself and resuming her proper place
in the work Of civilization"
