ample of How the Dreyfus Case
itics-His Entry Into the Cabinet
Due to His Attitude Towards
Dreyfus-Crisis Is Thus Ended.
PARIS, June Ex-senator Waldeck-
Rousseau has completed the formation of
cabinet. with the exception of the port
folio of public works. The senator, ac-
companied by the new cabinet ministers,
proceeded to the Elysee palace at ESQ D.
m. to present his colleagues to President
Loubet. The new cabinet as organized is
as follows:
Senator Waldeck-Rousseau, president of
the council Of ministers and minister Of
interior.
NJ. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs.
Gen. Marquis de Gallifet, minister Of
war;
NJ. Monis, minister of justice.
M. Callieux, minister of finance
M. Millerand, minister of commerce.
M. Leygues, minister of public instruc-
ton.
M. Decras, minister of colonies.
M. Jean Dupuy minister of agriculture.
The cabinet was completed by the ac-
ceptance OF the portfolio of public works
by M. Pierre Baudine.
The appointment of General the Mar
quis de Gallifet, as minister Of war, is
an extraordinary example of the way in
which the Dreyfus case has revolutioniz-
ed politics. For years past the general
has been the bugaboo of the extremists,
not only because of his monarchical SYM
pathies, but on account of the rigorous
manner in which he took part in repress-
in he &c n
met is undoubtedly due to his attitude
towards the Dreyfus case, which has been
throughout favorable to Dreyfus, al
though he holds that the proclamation
of the prisoners innocence should not
include placing the responsibility for the
apparent judicial blunders upon the gen.
eral staff.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau entered parlia-
ment from Rennes, where he once prac-
tlced law.
On leaving the Elysee palace NJ. Wall
deck Rousseau visited M. Dupuy, the re-
firing premier, to whom he presented the
presidents decree naming him the new
premier.
HINTS FOR THE ARMY.
LIE Courier de Soir publishes an inter-
view with the new minister of war, who
is represented as saying:
"I am reproached for my attitude In
1871. At that time served the majority,
the constitution and law, as a soldier. I
have remained silent until now. Today
I find the army talking far too much.
am, as I was thirty years ago, at the
service Of the majority, the constitution
and the law"
The minister of commerce, Alexandra
Millerand, Radical Socialist, in an inter
view published by the same paper, Is
reported as saying:
"The Republicans have concluded an
armistice in order to meet the enemies
of the republic, and to restore things to
their proper places in the army, the
magistracy and the administration.
NEW MINISTRY STRONG.
The new cabinet is strong combina-
tion, and is wholly in favor of Dreyfus,
but since 1t contains such extreme men
as Marquis de Gallifet and M. Millerand.
it can hardly be expected to have long
career.
The Socialist party have already de-
clared that they will not in any way be
bound by, or responsible for, NJ. Miller
and's acts as a minister. The latter,
however, is a powerful debater, who will
share with NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau the
brunt of defending the cabinet in the
CnamDeTp HnOSI Oh the De-
ing far less skilled in debate.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau, who is, perhaps,
the most successful pleader at the French
bar, loses an income of 100000 by be-
coming minister.
NJ de Lanseshan, minister of marine, is
famous for his advocacy of an Anglo
French entente
M. Jean Dupuy, minister of agriculture,
is no relation to the former premier.
Except in connection with the Dreyfus
affair, the new ministry has little in
terest, and is received rather coolly. The
Dreyfusites are delighted and the anger
of the anti-Dreyfusites knows no bounds.
Its opponents predict that the cabinet
will fall next Monday owing to the in
congruous comnibation of the Marquis de
Galliffet and Mr.. Millerand.
1t is understood that the new cabinet
will permit a meeting between Dreyfus
and his wife.
Brest remains calm. It's inhabitants are
for the greater part Dreyfusites, and it
is said there will be no danger of hostile
demonstration, even If Dreyfus landed
during the day-tims.
