NEW MINISTRY PRESENTED.
MANY INTERRUPTION IN CHAMBER
OF DEPUTIES.


mOnY and AccOrd-The Republic
and the Army VIII BE Defended.
Chambers Close Vote.
Paris, June A.-The new cabinet minis
try presented themselves 10 the chambers
this afternoon.
The Chamber of Deputies was thronged
and there was great animation at the OPEN
ing of the session when It became known
that two alleged hostile groups the Social
Radicals and the Democratic Left had de-
cided to vote in favor of the government,
and that NJ. Paul doCassagnac had with
drawn his Interpolation
Identical statements were read in the
Chamber of Deputies by the premier, NJ.
Wa!deck-R Rousseau and in the Senate by
the minister of justice, NJ Monis. They
were as follows:
The Chamber of Deputies, in express
ing itself, resolved not to support any gov
ernment but one determined 10 defend en-
ergeticaly Republican Institutions and as
sure public order, has clearly defined the
task imposed upon the new cabinet. The
ministry has no other ambition than to ac-
complish it.
'In order to bring about the pacification
VI tiiG Country anu TO maintain intact our
common inheritance, it seemed 10 US that
existing delusions should be effaced and
that the work we are about to undertake
requires the cooperation of all Republi-
cans. When the aim is definite, though
varying according 10 the methods of diff
ferent schools, accord becomes easier and
controversies are lost in the presence OF
the one duty to perform, namely, to end
the agitations pursued, under DISCUSSES
easy to penetrate against the regime which
has been sanctioned and will be Upheld
by universal suffrage, and to require from
all, the service of loyal assistance and
courageous assumption of responsibility.
Such is necessarily the first duty of the
government 1t is resolved to have all
judicial decisions respected, and If the first
wish of the country is TO listen to the
voice of justice, ii will maintain silence
and respect while Its decisions are pre-
pared.
VIII Defend the Army.
"In the front rank of the important in
terests of the country, bound up with the
conservation of the dignity of the nation,
we place the interests Of the army, which
the republic has constructed on a stronger
and wider basis, and which is synonymous
with the republics security and is the
pride of France. We think, with the
armys most i!lustrious and surest guides,
that invioiable attachment to discipline
is the first and essential guarantee of the
armys own greatness. We intend to de-
fend it with the same energy against the
attacks and solicitations which constitute
the most undeserved of insults.
I'VE desire above all that appeasement
may be accomplished, and it will come
quickly If every one will give up being a
law unto himself and bow to the law of
the land.
ITO accomplish the work which has de-
volved upon us, we have heed of the CO.
operation of parliament and its whole con-
fidence. We ask the widest mandate. We
take the fullest responsibility. We ask for
truce of the irritating discussions, hurt
ful to the interests of the country. If our
efforts are not sterile, disunion among Re-
publicans viii vanish and the republic viii
soon resume the path of economic and So
cial progress"
Objections in the Chamber.
The Senate. by a vote of 1S7 to %, ap-
proved the declaration of the government
In the Chamber of Deputies NJ Ernest
Roche, Socialist, interpellated the govern
ment regarding the policy and composition
of the ministry He declared 1t was a gov
ernment of war aud of defiance, and vlo-
lently attacked the minister Of war. Gen.
the Marquis de Gal|ifet
Other speakers followed in similar vein,
and there were eight orders of the day,
only Two OF them approving the ministe-
rial statement NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau re-
piled TO the vorious interpretations eX-
planning the motives animating the forma-
tion of a cabinet of somewhat divergent
views. one of the main objects being to
rcunite all Republicans. He added that the
ministers had already assumed some re-
sponsibilty, but he thought the backing
of the chamber was necessary for further
steps, and asked what ministry could for
a moment tolerate acts seeming TO create
the belief that the army desired to constl-
tute itself the judge of its policy. He fur
ther expressed the hope that it would
not be necessary to take more severe
measures, and said he thought 1t easy to
demonstrate whence came the attacks
upon the courts.
As to de GalIifet.
Explaining the inclusion of Gen. the
MARQUIS de Gallifet in the cabinet as
minister of war, he said it was because
no other general had so spontaneously
supported the Constitution, and IL was
thought the necessary punishment of GER
tain military men could be somewhat re-
laxed if emanating from such trusted
authority as Gen. de Gallifet. In con-
clusion the premier said:
"Our task is heavy. Whatever course
the chamber may pursue, have done all
my duty"
W
was much Interrupted. The noise, al
times was deafening and several mem
bers were called to order.
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau accepted an or
der of the day moved by NJ. Jules Peril
lier, Radical Socialist, reading as fol-
lows:
THE chamber. approving the declara-
tions and acts of the government, passes
TO the order of the day"
The chamber adopted NJ. FERTILIZERS mo-
tlon by vote Of 253 to 237. An indescrib-
able scene of excitement followed in the
lobbies.
The Debate Was stormy.
The debate In the Chamber was ex-
tremely stormy, Marquis de Galifet be-
ing the center of attack. The revolution
airy Socialists maintained a running fire
of shouts of "Vive la commune" "As-
sassin," and the like The alliance be-
tween M. Millerand and Gen. de Gallifet
was dubbed "Incestuous."
The latter sat perfectly unconcerned |
and the former calmly wrote letters |
the afternoon.
NJ Waldeck- Rousseau alone appeared |
anyway discouraged and nervous. 1t was
observed that he trembled slightly when |
he began to read the declaration OF the |
