STRONG DREYFUS CABINET.
But IL May Not Last over Next
Monday.

Paris. June 22.-The new cabinet Is o
strong combination and wholly In favor of
Dreyfus; but, since 1t contains such ex-
treme men as Marquis de Gallifet and N.
Millerand it can hardly be expected to
have long career. The socialist party
have already declared that they win not
in any way be bound by or responsible
for NJ. Millerand's acts as minister.
The latter, however, Is powerful de-
bator. who will share with NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau the brunt of defending the oab-
met In the chamber, most Of the other
ministers being far less skilled in debate.
M. Waldeck- -housseau who is perhaps
the most successful pleader at the krench
bar, loses an income Of $4,000 by becom.
ing minister.
Except in connection with he Dreyfus
affair the new ministry has little interest
and is received rather coolIy. The Drey-
fusites are delighted and the anger OF the
-Dreyfusites knows ON bounds. Its
opponents predict that the cabinet will
fall next Monday, owing TO the inoonGru-
ous combination of Marquis de Gallifet
and N. Millerand. Il Ia understood that
the cabinet will permit q meeting be-
tween Dreyfus and his wife.

In Interview New Minister Says
Army Talks Too Much.

Paris, June 22 Late this afternoon the
announcement was made that Senator
WaIdeck- Rousseau had complsted the
formation of cabinet.
The Senator. accompanied by the new
cabinet ministers, proceeded TO the Elysee
palace at 6.i0 D. m. to present his COL
leagues to President Loubet-
The new cabinet Is as follows:
Senator Waldeck- Rousseau, president
of the council Of ministers and minister
Of the interior.
Minister Of foreign affairs, NJ. Delcasse
Minister of war, Gsn. Marquis de
Gallifet.
Minister Of marine, II. De Lanessan.
Minister of justice, NJ. Morris
Minister of finance, M. Caillaux.
Minister Of commerce. n. Millerand.
Minister of public instruction, III.
Leygues.
Minister of the colonies, NJ. Decrais.
Minister of agriculture NJ. Jsan
Dupuy.
Minister of public works, M. Pierre
Baudin.
The appointment of General Marquis de
9allifet as minister of war is an extraor-
dinary example of the way In which the
Dreyfus case has revolufionized political
conditions. For years past the general
has been the bugHboo of the extremists,
not only because of his monarchia1 SYM
pathies but on account OF the rigorous
manner in which he took part in repress-
ing the commune. His entry into the
cabinet IL undoubtedly due 70 his attitude
towards the Dreyfus case which has been
Fthroughout favorable to Dreyfns, al
though he holds that the proclamation Of
the prisoners innocence should not in
clude placing the responsibility for the
apparent judicial blunders upon the gen.
eral staff Senator Waldeck- Rousseau
entered parliament from Rennes, where
he once practiced law.

SELF DENIAL Week,

The Salvation Army'S week VI SeII
Denial Is Now OMIT Will Not Be
Observed Here-Explanation of
the Custom.
Sunday last commenced the week OF
self denial with the members OF the
Salvation Army and from Captain A.
N. Pitt this morning HERALD rel port
er learned that owing to the conditions
which exist here denial week will not
be observed: "We have been here
only short time.' he said, sit will
take all the money we can rake and
awhile at least. My wife is here with
me and we were accompanied here
from Albuquerque by the little girl
Elizabeth Hail."
AS regards the custom of self denial
week Captain Pitt said:
sSelf denial week is one of the many
original ideas set in motion by the Sal
walton Army to advance the cause of
Christianity. There : is twofold OBJ
ject in the effort. First, it is week
for especial spiritual advance among
the forces of the army and their
friends. Second, all unite in a supreme
effort to raise a certain amount of mo
ney, which ia turned into the general
funds of the army for extending their
work at home andin their foreign mis-
sions in India, Africa, China and ia
pan, etc.
zone of the chief features of the
week is for those who participate to
deny themselves of some luxury and in
many cases even necessities are dis
pensed with for few days at least, and
the money thus saved is turned over to
the fund. 1t is nothing uncommon for
the officers and soldiers during this
week TO abstain from meat, sugar. but
ter, tea, coffee, etc.
The effort is not alone confined to
the homes of the army people, but they
get as many of their friends SIS posi-
BILE to join them. The dates of the
coming effort are from March 10 to rs
inclusive. Each year the effort has
be u taken hold of with increased zeal
and enthusiasm, until we find by con-
sulting the balance sheets of the or
eaniza+ion that in 1898 $780, 900 we're
raised throughout the world as result
of this annual effort.
SIT is to be hoped that the army's ap-
peal will meet with prompt response.
The Sslvtion Army fed 100 600 poor
at Christmas; they cared for the home
less during the terrible blizzard OF
February. The New York Herald of
Monday, Feb. IA, spoke as follows: "A
noble example to other charitable in
situations hiss been set by the Salvation
Army, which has thrown open several
of it's buildings to serve as temporary
refugees for the homeless poor, and has
made ar vaugemcnts for the distribu-
ton of fuel and provisions.'
