PARIS, June 26.-The new CABINET To-Day
safely passed the crisis of its first PIE
sentation to the chamber of deputies.
Ernest Roche, Socialist, interpellated the
government regarding the policy ana
composition of the ministry. He declared
II was q government of war and violent
" attacked the minister of war, Cen the
Marquis de Ganifet. Other speeches fol-
lowed in a similar vein and the orders OF
the day were moved. only two of them
approving the ministerial statement.
NJ. Waldeck-Rosseau replied to the
various interpretations explaining the mo-
tive animating the formation of cabinet
of somewhat divergent views, one of the
main objects being to reunite all Repub-:
licaus. He added that the ministers had
already assumed some responsibility, out,
he thought the backing of the chamber
was necessary for further steps, and
asked what ministry could for moment
tolerate acts seeming to create the belief
that the army desired to constitute itself
the judge of its policy He further ex-
pressed the hope that 1t would not be
necessary to take more severe measures,
and he said he thought 1t easy to demon
s+rate whence came the attacks upon the
courts.
Explaining the invitation Of Gen.
the Marquis de Gallifet to the cabinet,
he said 1t was because nc other general
had spontaneously supported the consti-
tuition, and it was thought the punish
ment of certain military men could be
relaxed If emanating from so trustworthy
a source as Gen. de Gallifet.
Concluding the premier said:
"Our task is heavy. Whatever course
the chamber may pursue, L have done my
duty"
The speech of NJ. Waldeck -Rosseau was
much interrupted. The noise at times
was deafening, and several members were
called to order.
The resulting debate in the chamber
was exceedingly stormy, Gen. de Gallifet
continuing the center of attack. The
alliance between NJ. Millerand and Gen.
de Gallifet was dubbed 'incestuous." The
latter was unconcerned, and the former
calmly wrote letters during the discus
sion NJ. Waldeck-Rosseau alone appear
ed in any way disturbed or nervous. 1t
was observed that he trembled slightly
when he began to read the declaration of
the governments policy.
NJ Waldeck-Rosseau accepted an order
of the day, moved by NJ. Jules PerillieI,
Radical Socialist, reading as follows:
The chamber, approving the declara-
tions and acts of the government, passes
to the order of the day.
The chamber adopted NJ. FERTILIZERS mo-
ton by a vote of 263 to 237. An inde-
scribable scene of excitement followed
in the lobbies.
Col. Coulbertin has been placed on the
palace guard. There were large crowds
on the streets tonight, but no disturb
ances.
The Radical and revisionist papers
this morning severely criticise NJ. Meline
and his followers, and say they consider
the cabinet victory, though gained with
difficulty, complete. They add that the
chamber of deputies and the senate have
given the ministry a majority sufficient
tC enable them to complete their work.
The Moderate and Republican press de-
clare that NJ. Waldeck-Rosseau is more
than ever a prisoner in the hands of the
Radicals and Socialists, and say that a
cabinet supported by such a hetero-
geneus majority cannot last.
A number of papers consider that the
governments majority will probably in
crease.
