and Senate.

Task Set for It by the Chamber

Der Both Approve Action Of the
Government.

PARIS, June 2G.-The Cabinet Min
istry presented themselves to the
Chamber this forenoon. The Chamber
of Deputies was thronged, and there
was great animation at the opening OF
the session when it became known that
two hostile groups. the Socialist Rad
cals and the Democratic Left, had
decided to vote in favor of the Govern
ment, and that M. Paul de Cassaignac
had withdrawn his Interpolation
Identical statements were read in the
Chamber of Deputies by the Premier,
M. Waldeck- Rosseau, and in the SEN
ate by the Minister of Justice, M.
Monis. They We're as follows:
THE Chamber of Deputies, in ex-
pressing itself, resolved not to support
any government but one determined to
defend energetically republican institu-
tons and assure public order, has clear
ly defined the task imposed upon the
new Cabinet. The Ministry has no
other ambition than to accomplish it,
in order to bring about the pacitication
of the country and to maintain intact
our common inheritance. 1t seemed to
us that existing decisions should be
effaced, and that the work we are
about to undertake required the coop
Grafton of all Republicans When the
aim is definite, though varying accord
ing to the methods of different schools,
accord becomes easier and controver-
sizes are lost in the presence of one
duty to perform. To end the agita-
tions pursued under DISCUSSES easy to
penetrate, against the regime which
has been sanctioned and will be up
held by the universal suffrage, and to
require from all the services, loyal
assistance and courageous assumption
of responsibility. Such is of necessity
the first duty of the Government 1t
is resolved to have all judicial decis-
ions respected, and if the first wish Of
the country is to listen to the voice
of justice it will maintain silence and
respect while it's. decisions are pre-
pared.
I'm the front rank of the important
interests 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 con-
structed on a firmer and wider basis.
and which is synonymous with the re-
public's security, and is the pride of
France. We think, with the army's
most illustrious and surest guides, that
inviolable attachment to discipline is
the first and essential guarantee Of
energy against the attacks and solicit
tations which constitute the most un-
deserved of insults.
I'VE desire, above all, that appease-
ment may be accomplished, and it will
come quickly if every one will give up
being law unto himself, and bow to
the law of the land.
ITO accomplish the work which has
devolved upon us we have need of the
cooperation of Parliament and it's
whole confidence. We ask the widest
mandate We take the fullest re-
sponsibility. We ask for a truce of the
irritating discussions, hurtful to the
interests of the country, and that you
will vote without delay a law neces-
sary to the good working of the pub
lie service. If our efforts are not
sterile, disunion among republicans will
vanish, and the republic win soon Re-
sumo the path of economic and social
progress"

indescribable scene of excitement fol-
lowed in the lobby.
Ernest Roche, Socialist, interpellated
the Government regarding the policy
and composition of the Ministry. He
declared it was a Government Of war,
and violently attacked the Minister OF

and the orders of the day were moved,
only two of them approving the Min
isterial statement
NJ Wa1deck- ROSSeau replied to the
various interpretations, explaining the
motives animating the formation of
Cabinet of somewhat divergent views,
unite all Republicans. He added that
the Ministers had already assumed
some responsibility, but he thought the
backing of the Chamber was necessary
for further steps, and asked what Min
istry could for moment tolerate acts
seeming to create the belief that the
army desired to constitute itself the
Judge of it's policy. He further ex-
pressed the hope that it would not be
necessary to take more severe meas
ures. and said he thought 1t easy to
demonstrate whence came the attacks
upon the courts.
In conclusion the Premier sndd: our
task is heavy. Whatever course the
Chamber may pursue, have done all
my duty"
