The appointment OF General the Marquis
de GaliieJ as minister of war Is an extra
ordinary cNample OF the way In which the
Dreyfus case mas revolutioni1ed political
conditions For years past the general mas
! been the bugaboo of the extremists, not
only because of his mouarchical syinpa-

Wow published by the same paper Is re-
ported as saying Tho republicans nave

the enemies Of the republic and to restore
things TO their proper places IN the army
the magistracy and the marine.
The new cabinet is 2 strong combina-
ton and is wholly in favor Of Dreyfus, but
since il contains such extreme men as
MARQUIS de Gallifet and M. Millorand 1t
can hardly be expected to have long ca
reer The socialist party has already de-
cared that they viii not In any way De
bound by or responsible for NJ. Mllerana
as a minister. The latter, however, is a
powerful debater and will EnaIe with NJ
Waldeck- Rousseau the brunt of the de-
tending OF the cabinet in the chamber,
most of the other ministers being far less
skilled in debate.
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, who is perhaps
the most -uccessful pleader at the french
bar loses an income OF 100000 by be-
coming minister
NJ De Lanesan minister OF marine. is
famous for his advocacy OF an Anglo
French entente
NJ. Jean Dupuy minister Of agriculture,
is no relation OF the former premier.
EXCEPT In connection with the Dreyfus
! affair. the new ministry has little interest
and is received rather cooIly. The Drey-
mstes are delighted and the anger OF the
anti Dreyfusites knows no bounds.
Il is its opponents that predict that the
new cabinet will fall next Monday owing
to the incongruous combination OF Mar
uuls de Gallifet and N. Mllerand. Il Is
understood that the new cabinet will per
init meeting between Dreyfus and his
wife BreHt remains calm It's tnhab-
itants arc generally Dreytusites, and It Is
