CABINET AGAIN FAILS.
Waldeck-Rousseau Abandons Task
and Poincare MAY BE Recalled.

Paris. June BIT was announced late
this evening that Senator Waldeck- -Rous-
seau had declined the task OF forming a
new Cabinet. The failure OF NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau is due. ii is said. TO the refusal
OF Camille KrantZ 10 accept the portfolio
OF Public Works. which he considers in
ferior 10 the portfolio OF War held by
him in the retiring Cabinet. But for this.
the Waldeck-Rousseau slate was COM
plete
NM. Poincare and Guillain made their
acceptance Of Office dependent upon the
inclusion Of VI. Krantz The latter be-
side refusing the portfolio OF Public
Works, expressed his disapprovaI Of GER
tain measures which NJ Waldeck- -Rous-
seau proposed to take against the Gen
erals and ColOnels who recently inspired
a newspaper propaganda in favor of the
army
After formal consultations tomorrow.
q is expected that NJ. Loubet viii again
summon NJ. Peincare.
The failure of NJ. WaldeCk- Rousseau
makes the situation exceedingly difficult
Both VI. Casimii' Perier and Gen. Brugere
declined 10 enter the Cabinet 1t is quite
uncertain whom 11. Loubet will now sum-
mon. Possibly he may call upon NJ. Sar-
rien or Paul Deschanel. President of the
Chamber of Deputies.
