PARIS, June rs, 1S99.-The new Cabinet
Ministry presented themselves to the
Chambers this afternoon. The Chamber
of Deputies was thronged and there was
great animation at the opening of the
session when it became known that two
alleged hostile groups the Socialist
Radicals and the Democratic Left, had
decided to vote in favor Of the Govern
ment and that Mr.. Paul de Cassagnac
had withdrawn his Interpolation.
Identical statements were read in the
Chamber of Deputies by the Premier, M.
Waldeck- Rousseau and in the Senate by
the Minister of Justice, M. Monis. They
are rs follows:-
"The Chamber of Deputies, in express
ing itself resolved not to support any
Government but one determined to defend
energetically Republican institutions and
assure public order, has clearly defined
the task imposed upon the new Cabinet.
The Ministry has no other ambition than
to accomplish it In order to bring about
the pacifcation of the country and to
maintain intact our common Inheritance
it seemed to US that existing delusions
should be effaced and that the work we
are about to undertake required the CO.
operation of all Republicans When the
aim is definite, though varying according
to the methods of different schools, ac-
cord becomes easier and controversies are
lost in the presence of the one duty to
perform
s"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 services. loyal as
siStance and courageous assumption of
responsibility. such is necessarily the
first duty of the Government. 1t is re-
solved to have all judicial decisions re-
spected, and # the first wish Of the coun-
try. is to listen to the voice of justice it
will maintain silence and respect while its
decisions are prepared.
ssIn 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 strong
er and wider basis, and which is synono-s
nous with the republics security, and IS
the pride OF France. We think. with the
army's most illustrous and surest guides.
that in inviolable attachment to discip-
line is the first and essential guarantee
of the army's own greatness. We intend
to defend it with the same energy against
the attacks and solicitations which con-
stitute the most undeserved of insults.
We desire above all that appeasement
may be accomplished and it will come
quickly il everyone 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 need of the CO.
operation of Parliament and its whole
confidence We ask the widest mandate
We take the fullest responsibility We
ask for truce of the irritating discus
stons, hurtful to the interests of the coun-
try and that you will vote without delay
q law necessary to the good working of
the public services If our efforts are not
sterile, disunion among Republicans will
vanish and the Republic. will soon resume
AT the opening of the session the Ex-
treme Leftists shouted .Vive la Conn
munei' and the Socialists frequently IN
terrupted the proceedings, but M. Wal
deck Rousseau's statement was much ap-
plauded by the I.eftists and Centralists
nj. Ernest Roche, Socialist, interpellat-
ed the Government regarding the policy
and composition of the Ministry. He de-
clared 1t was government of war and
of defiance and violently attacked the
Minister of War, General the Marquis
de Gallifet. Other speakers followed in
a similar vein and eight orders of the
day were moved. only two of them APP
proving the Ministerial statement.
Mr.. Waldeck-RousSeau accepted an or
