the designations of the ministers. but

LOUBET CORDIAL.
The interview between NJ. Dupuy and
his colleagues and President Loubet was
brief but cordial. The President express
ed his thanks for the support he had
received from the retiring ministers, add
ing that he would always remember
their services gratefully. NJ. Dupuy was
agreeaby surprised at NJ. Loubet's cordl-
ality.
There are already many surmises as
to the composition of the new Cabinet.
but it IS pointed out that as the Dupuy
ministry did not fall on a question inyoN-
ing the political complexion Of the minis
try. it 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 a majority, including
members Of all parties. who were deter
mined to rid themselves OF the premier
ship of NJ. Charles Duyuy.

bered l73, recruited for the most part
from the ranks Of the Moderate Radicals.
Many Deputies agree that the Dreyfus
affair is largely responsible for the

| have been all along persuaded that NJ.
! Dupuy would never proceed 10 that ex-
