the Chamber of Deputies.
M. DUPUY is TURNED DOWN
The Dreyfus Affair Said to Be the I'm
DERIVING Cause of ths Crisis Gossip
Concerning the Formation of
New Cabinet.

Paris, June 12.-The project of po-
| lice NJ Blanc, has ordered an in
! quiry into the charges of police bru-
tally yesterday. If they are substan-
tiated the men at fault will be severe
| ly punished.
| The chamber of deputies was crowd
| ed to-day and there was considerable
suppressed excitement when NJ. Vail
liant, socialist, interpellated the gov
eminent on yesterdays police out
RACES at the Pavilion d'Armenonvile,
and demanded to know the instructions
the government gave the police in re-
gard to the socialists, who, he said,
defended the republic against the re-
dictionaries.
+ Premier Dupuy replied that die real
Liked that yesterday was fet1 day for
/ all republicans. He realized that there
had been incidents and that the only
instructions to the police We're to
maintain order
Wis Hughes, socialist, and others, COM
planned of the policies treatment yes
terday. Finally the closure was de-
clared and half dozen orders of the
day We're moved. The premier sup
ported the order of the day of M.
Saumande, republican, approving the
declaration of the government, for
which priority was demanded and re-
fused by vote of 253 to 246.
Amidst increasing excitement other
motions more or less favorable to- the
government were defeated, and the
chamber then adopted, by a vote of
1855 to III, priority for M. Ruemaus'
motion.
Finally NJ Dupuy declared that the
government would accept nothing but
NJ. Saumande's order of the day, and
the chamber promptly carried NJ. Rue
maus motion.
The ministers forthwith left the
house amid immense excitement.
The text Of M. Ruemaus' motion was
as follows: THE chamber is yater-
mined to defend vigorously the repub
lican institutions and to secure pub
lie order, and passes to the order of
the day
After the vote was announced the
socialists shouted, "Vive la republique."
President Loubet has accepted the
designations of the cabinet ministers,
but requested them to remain in their
offices until their successors are named
| 1t Is presumed that M. Loubet will
| summon the presidents of the cham
| bers tomorrow in order to consult with
| them on the formation of new cabi-
| net. On leaving the chamber Nj. Dupuy
| observed to group of deputies in the
lobby: We hand over the business TO
! luckier, but not to more courageous
men"
The interview between NJ. Dupuy
| and his colleagues and President Lou
bet was brief but cordial. The president
expressed his thanks for the support
he had received from the ministers,
adding that he would always remem-
Der their services gratefully. NJ Du-
puy was agreeably surprised at M
Loubets cordially.
There are already many surmses as
| to the composition of the new cabinet
but it is pointed out that as the Dupuy
ministry did not fall on a question in
volving the political complexion of the
ministry, 1T Is difficult to see on what
| basis the new cabinet will be selected
The successive votes in the chamber
of deputies to-day clearly demonstrated
the existence of majority, including
members of all parties, who were de-
termined to rid themselves of the pre-
miership of M. Dupuy. The interpella-
ton of M. valiant was simply a clev-
erly selected pretext to conceal the real
cause of the approaching crisis.
Socialists and radicals alike are dis
, satisfied with what they have consid-
cred the contradictory attitude of the
Dupuy cabinet In the Dreyfus affair.
The moderates hope to secure the re-
turn of M Meline to power. The revo-
lutionaries, nationalists and anti-Se.n-
ties hope, in their opposition to NJ
Dupuy, to find more tolerant man in
| his successor. This is the explanation
of to-day's voting resulting in the
downfall of the cabinet. The supporters
of the government only numbered 173,
| recruited for the most part from the
ranks of the radicals.
Many deputies agree that the Drey-
fus affair is largely responsible for the
fall of the cabinet. All of the royalists
and many of the radicals declare that
their share of the responsibility must
| be brought home to General Boisdeffere
and General MERCER. At the same time
| those taking this view have been all
along persuaded that M. Dupuy would
/ never proceed to that extreme. Accord
/ 1ngly they seized upon M. Valiant
/ Interpolation as means of expressing
| their defiance and disrrust of the Du-
| puy ministry. Certainly there is nc
denying the fact that the question OF
| the final settlement of the Dreyfus case
| hangs like dead weight on the situa-
ton tonight and will prove a great
obstacle in the settlement of the crisis
OF the statesmen already named in
parliamentary circles in connection
with the premiership of the new cabi-
net, those most frequently mentioned
are M. Raymond Poincare, deputy for
Mouse, who was minister of public in
struction at the time of the Dreyfus
court martial and who testified before
| the court of cessation that M. Dupuy
had recently said to him II think we
were the victims of a big hoax in 1894. .
| M. Theopile del Case, minister of for
eign affairs in the retiring cabinet; M
| Henri Brissons, who was M. Dupuy
! immediate predecessor in the premier
ship. and Signor Waldeck Rosseau
who was minister of the interior in the
cabinet of Gambetta in 1881 and again
| in the Ferry cabinet in 1883.
