The Chamber. after further debate.
adopted by a vote of 321 to 17S the
order of the day proposed by NJ Rueau,
Radical representing the Second Dis
trict of St. Gautiens, which the Pre-
mier refused to accept.
After NJ. Dupuy's statement, NJ.
Clovis Hughes, Socialist. and others,
complained of the police treatment yes
terday. Finally the closure was de-
clared and half a dozen orders of the
day were moved. The Premier sup
ported the order of the day OF NJ. Sau-
mande, Republican, approving the dec
laration of the Government for which
priority was demanded. and refused by
q vote of 253 to 246.
Amidst increasing excitement other
motions more or less favorable to the
Government were defeated and the
Chamber then adopted, by 366 to H.
priority for NJ. Rueaus motion.
Finally NJ Dupuy declared that the
Government would accept nothing of
NJ Saumande's order of the day, and
the Chamber promptly carried NJ.
Rueau's motion.
The text of NJ. Rueau's motion was as
follows: The Chamber is determined
TO support only Government resolved
to defend vigorously republican insti-
tutions and to secure public order and
passes to the order Of the day"
After the vote was announced the So
cialists shouted "Vive la Republique, "
the Ministers left the house and the
Chamber adjourned
The successive votes In the Chamber
of Deputies to-day clearly demon
strated the existence of a majority, in
cluding members Of all parties, who
were determined to rid themselves of
the premiership of NJ. Charles Dupuy.
The Interpolation of NJ. valiant was
simply a cleverly selected pretext to
conceal the real cause of the approach
ing crisis.
Socialists and Radicals alike are dis
satisfied with what they have consid-
cred the contradictory attitude Of the
Dupuy Cabinet in the Dreyfus affair.
The Moderates hope to secure the re-
turn of NJ. Meline to power. The revo-
lutionaries, NationaliSts and anti-Sem-
ties hope in their opposition to M. Du-
puy, TO find a more tolerant man in his
successor.
This is the explanation Of to-day's
voting, resulting in the downfall of the
Cabinet. The supporters of the GOV
ernment only numbered 173, recruited
for the most part from the ranks of
the Radicals.
Many Deputies agree that the Drey-
fus affair is largely responsible for the
fall Of the Cabinet. All of the Royal
lists and many Of the Radicals declare
! that their share of the responsibility

will be sacrificed, but the very existence
of the republic will be imperiled. The

~ TILLWATER, Mimi, June H.
This was a terrible night for New
Richmond, the beautiful little viii
49, lage being almost wiped out of
existence by one of the most severe
cyclones that ever visited the locality,
1t carried ruin and death in its path,
and at this hour it is impossible to
give even partial list of those who
are dead or seriously injured.
1t is thought many are dead. News
of the disaster was brought here by j.
A. Carroll, a travelling man from Port
age, Wis. who was stopping at the
Nicollet House in New Richmond when
the cyclone struck the town. He saw
the nel-shaped cloud as it came up
the principal street, and he took refuge
in the basement of the hotel which was
completely wrecked, together with
every other business house in the city.
In the terrible sheets of rain follow
ing the cyclone Mr.. Carroll and his
comrades succeeded in rescuing the
proprietor, Charles McKennon, his wife
and one child from the debris, and they
also removed laundry girl, who was
so seriously injured it is not thought
moved two men named Barrett and
Newell, who were very seriously in
jured
Mr.. Carroll drove to Saltwater by
team for relief. and train left with
doctors at 1915 o'clock. Carroll fur
ther says that fire followed the cyclone
and what is left is being consumed by
flames. Many people are doubtless
killed and the damage will run into
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 13.-A dis
patch was received at 2 o'clock this
morning from Jewett Mills, announcing
the arrival there of the Wisconsin Ger
tral train. A. Mr.. Cutter, in the en-
ploy of the Central, sent a diepateh &c
the local Offices of the road saying that
the town of New Richmond was gone
south of Highway bridge, and that the
estimated number of killed will reach
$50.
Many of the houses, Mr.. Cutter
states, were consumed by fire after the
cyclone. Many people were killed, he
says, while attending a circus which
was showing there.

FRANCES MINISTRY STEPS
OUT OF OFFICE.

ID AXIS, June I2.-lmmedl-
ately after the Chamber Of
Deputies voted against them
to-day the French Ministry re-
signed.
President Loubet accepted the
designations, but requested them
to remain in their offices until
their successors are named.
1t is presumed NJ. Loubet will
summons the presidents of the
chambers tomorrow in order to
consult with them on the forma-
ton Of new Cabinet.
On leaving the Chamber NJ.
Dupuy observed to a group Of
Deputies in the lobby: I'VE
hand over the business to 1uckier
but not to more courageous
men"
The interview between NJ Dupuy and
his colleagues and President Loubet
was brief but cordial. The President
expressed his thanks for the support
he had received from the retiring Min
istry, adding that he would always re-
member their services gratefully NJ
Dupuy was agreeably surprised at NJ
LoUbet's cordiality.
There are already many surmises as
To the composition of the new Cabinet,
but il is pointed out that as the Dupuy
Ministry did not fall on question in
Yolving the political complexion Of the
Ministry. 1t is difficult to see on what
basis the new Cabinet will be selected
NJ Dupuy has certainly not a good
press this morning. Whatever else
was the failure yesterday he succeeded
in uniting every political party against

of armed force at the Grand Prix 1t
was really more like a military review
than a horse race, and all declare it was
unnecessary, the Royalists because
they are disguised with the Auteuil af-
fair and would have seen themselves
that there was no repetition of it. and
the Socialists because they have
thrown in their lot with the Govern
ment and consequently there was moth

exasperated everybody. Even the
Figaro quarrels with him for OVERRIDING
things. The Siecle's leader Is headed

if there are not enough honest men in
the Chamber to rid France of a disas-
trous man-namely, Dupuy-who only
stops plotting against all presidents of
the republic long enough TO smash the
heads Of republicans. Paul de Cassag-
nae ironically appauds him as a mas
ter strategist. There is talk about a
new combination Ministry under NJ
Waldeck Rousseau.
1t is rumored at the offices of several
newspapers this evening that the Due
d'Orleans has been arrested at Nice.
No confirmation Of the report can be
obtained and it is quite improbable, as
he is supposed to be cruising on his
yacht.
a late dispatch from Nice reports a
rumor that a general Of Italian origin
has been arrested on a charge of es-
piOnage.

NAVAL CEREMONIES AT
CAPTAIN NICHOLS FUNERAL

MANILA, June 12 D. m.-The
funeral Of Captain Henry Nichols, the
commander of the United States
double turreted monitor Monadnock,
who died from sunstroke on Saturday.
took place at Cavite yesterday with ap-
propriate naval ceremonies The Off
GERS of the fleet were present and the
flags on all vessels were half -masted.
The sudden death of Captain Nichols
was particularly sad because il oc-
CURED just at the moment when the
result for which he had hoped and
worked for months was about to be
realized. namely, the capture of Par
anaque and its occupation by the
American forces. The Monadnock has
been lying off Paranaque for two
months past, under fire from the rebels
almost daily. The heat here has been
intense and the officers and n4ci. of the
Monadnock suffered greatly.
The commander-in-ch chief offered to
retire the Monadnock from her trying
duties and replace her by another ship,
but Captain Nichols preferred to re-
main, declaring that he did not want to
leave his post until Paranaque fell and
the coast from there to Cavite was
cleared of rebels. The heat on Satur-
day was most severe and the monitor
was engaged all day in shelling the
trenches at Paranaque and the rebels
fleeing south through Las Pinas and
also watching the American troops
closing in on the towns. Captain
Nichols was overcome by the heat at
noon and retired to his cabin, where
he received frequent reports of the
operations and gave directions for sew
eral hours. He became much worse at
8 o'clock lost consciousness and ex-
pired at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Several hours before his death he ex-
pressed qualification at the way events
were progressing, remarking to an Off
Ger: I'VE have got the rebels there al
last"

net those most frequently mentioned
are NJ. Raymond Poincare, Deputy for
Meuse, who was Minister of Public In
struction at the time of the Dreyfus
court martial, and who testified before
the Court of Cessation that NJ. Dupuy
had recently said to him: Il think we
were the victims of a big hoax in 1894 ;
NJ. Theophile del Casse, Minister of
Foreign Affairs in the retiring Cabinet;
NJ. Henri Brisson, who was NJ. Dupuy's
immediate predecessor, and Senator
Pierre Waldeck- Rousseau, who was
Minister of Interior in the Cabinet of
Gambetta in 1881 and again in the
Ferry Cabinet in 1893

must be brought home to General Bois-
deffre and General Mercier. At the same
time those taking this view have been
all along persuaded that NJ. Dupuy
would never proceed to that extreme.
Accordingly they seized upon NJ Vail
lant's Interpretation as a means of ex-
pressing their defiance and distrust 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 set
tlement of the crisis.

The Premier. NJ. Dupuy, replied, say
ing that he realized that yesterday was

realized that there. had been few in

TO the police were to maintain order.
The Government, he continued, had or
dered an inquiry into the responsible
ity for the affairs at the Pavilion d'Ar-
menonvile and the Rue Montmartre At
the same time, the Premier pointed out,
the Government acknowledged the SER

then found that the lady could not be got
out of her embarrassing position without
taking the horse out of the shafts and
lifting the vehicle over her head, for it
was impossible to lift her up through the
aperture through which she had fallen.
The crowd of idlers, who were soon on
the spot were greatly amused, and their
delight knew no bounds when an alterca-
ton ensued between the cabby and his
fare, the one claiming damages for the in
jury to his Gao, the other declaring that
she would sue his master for damages ill.,
