FORMS A NEW CABINET.
senator Waldeck-Rousseau Succeeds
In organizing a New French
Ministry.

Paris June 23.-Late Thursday aft
ernoon The announcement was made
that Senator Waldeck- Rousseau had
completed the formation of cabinet
with the exception of the portfolio of
public works.
The senator, accompanied by the new
cabinet ministers, proceeded to the
Eiysee palace at 6:10 p. M, to present
his colleagues to President Loubet.
Nj. Waldeck Rousseau ignored MN.
Guillain, Krantz and Poincare, in view
of their attitude during the previous
negotiations.
The new cabinet as organized is as fol-
lows:
Senator Waldeek- Rousseau. president OF
the council Of ministers and minister of
the interior.
NJ Delcasse. minister OF foreign affairs.
Gen. Marquis de Gallifet. minister of
war.
NJ DeIanessan. minister Of marine
NJ NOUS, minister OF justice.
M. Caillaux. minister of finance.
NJ Mlllerand, minister of commerce
NJ Leygues. minister OF public instruc-
ton.
NJ Decrais, minister of the colonies.
Nj. Jean Dupuy, minister of agriculture,
The cabinet was completed by the ac-
ceptance of the portfolio of public
works by M. Pierre Daudin.
The new cabinet is strong combina-
ton, and is wholly in favor of Dreyfus;
but, since it contains such extreme men
as Marquis dc Gallifet and Nj. Millerand,
it can hardly be expected to have long
career. The socialist party have al
ready declared that they will not in
any way be bound by or responsible for
NJ. Millerand's acts as a minister. The
latter, however, is a powerful debater,
who will share with NJ. Waldeck-Rous-
seau the brunt of defending the cabinet
in the chamber, most of the other min
listers being far less skilled in debate. NJ.
Waldeck- Rousseau, who is perhaps the
most successful pleader at the French
bar, loses an income of 10000 by be-
cnr1inn minister

Bradstreet's says; Less than the av-
erage effect of approaching midsummer
influences is discernible in current trade
reports. Prices. too, show a strength un-
usual at this period, and particularly IN
view of recent steady advances. This is
notably manifest. of course, in the iron and
steel industry, where the tendency of
values is still upward, though the advances
reported are uniform at all markets, point
ing to individual instances of business done
at best possible prices.
Improved crop reports are responsible
chiefly for lower quotations of products de-
clining in price this week. Wheat has been
affected by glowing reports from spring
wheat sections, but more especially by
continued enormous deliveries of old crops
supplies. pointing to the 1898 spring wheat

the use of strawberries sometimes pro-
duces on the human jaw the effect of
entirely arresting it's activities. The
disability is curious one, marking out
the strawberry as possible agent of

worked, the fruit should be worth its
