FRENCH CABINET HAS FALLEN.
PREMIER DUPUY WAS VOTED DOWN
IN THE CHAMBER.

hHs acccpteu the AesiGh"tAohs'
Socialists Dissatisfied With Dupuy.
Alleged Police Outrages Led to the
Fatal Action.
Paris, June 12-The cabinet has re-
signed.
President Loubet has accepted the resig-
nations of the cabinet ministers, but has
requested them to retain their offices un-
til their successors are named.
1t is presumed that NJ Loubet will sum-
mon the presidents of the chambers to-
morrow in order to consult with them upon
the formation of a new cabinet
On leaving the Chamber, M. Dupuy OBJ
served to a group of deputies in the lobby;
I'VE hand over the business to luckier,
but not to more courageous men,"
The interview between NJ. Dupuy and
his colleagues and President Loubet was
brief but cordial, and the President ex-
pressed his thanks for the support he had
received from the retiring ministers, add
ing that he would always remember their
services gratefully. M Dupuy was
agreeably surprised at NJ Loubet's cor
diality
Wanted to Get Rid of Dupuy.
There are already many surmises as to
the composition of the new cabinet, but
1t is pointed out that while the Dupuy min
istry did not fall on a question involving
the political complexion of the ministry 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 determined to rid
themselves of the premiership of NJ
Charles Dupuy.
Socialists and Radicals alike are dissat-
isfied with what they have considered the
contradictory attitude of the Dupuy cabi-
net in the Dreyfus affair. The moderates
hope to secure the return to M. Melne to
power. The revo.utionares, nationalists
and anti-Semites hope in their opposition
to M. Dupuy, to find a more tolerant man
in his successor.
Dreyfus Affair Brought In.
This is the explanation of to-day's vot-
ing, resulting in the downfall of the cab
met. The supporters of the government
only numbered 49, recruited for the most
part from the ranks of the moderate Rad
icals
Many deputies agree that the Dreyfus
affair is largely responsible for the down.
fall of the cabinet. All the Royalists and
many of the Radicals demand that their
share of the responsibility must be brought
home to Gen. deBoisdehre and Gen. Mer-
cier At the same time those taking this
view have been all along persuaded that
M. Dupuy would never proceed to that
extreme Accordingly. they seized upon
M. Vaillant's Interpolation as a means of
expressing their defiance and distrusts of
the Dupuy ministry
Certainly there is no denying the fact
that the question of the final settlement of
the Dreyfus case hangs like dead weight
on the situation tonight and will prove a
great obstacle in the settlement of the
crisis
Candidates for Honors.

liamentary circles in connection with the
premiership of the new cabinet those most
frequently mentioned are M RAYMOND
Poincare, deputy for Meuse. who was

minister of foreign affairs in the retiring
cabinet; NJ. Henri Brsson, who was M.
Dupuy's immediate predecessor in the pre-
miership he had just resigned, and Sen

minister of the interior in the cabinet of
Gambetta in 1881, and again in the Ferry
cabinet in 1888

"The Chamber of Deputies was crowded
