lice in regard to the Socialist who, he
said, defended the Republic against the
Reactionaries (alrlause).
The Premier, NJ. Dupuy, replied say.
ing he realized that yesterday was Il
fete day for all Republicans. He added
that there had been few Incidents, and
that the only instructions to the police
were to maintain order. The Govern

Rue Montmatre The same time the

adding that the maintenance of the tiUvs
crnnaent was impossible without public
order. (Applause from The centre ana
protests from the Leftists).
After Nj. Dupuy's statement NJ. Clovis
Hughes, Socialist, and others, com
planned of the police treatment yester-
day Finally the closure was declared
and half dozen orders of the day were
moved. The Premier supported the or
der of the day of NJ. Saumande, Rcpub-
lican, approving the declaration of the
Government, for which priority was
demanded and refused by vote of 253
to 246.
Amidst increasing excitement, other
muu0nS more or less favorable to the
Government were defeated. Finally, NJ
Dupuy declared the Government would
accept nothing short of Saumande's or
der of the day.
NJ. Ruau, Radical, representing the
second district of st. Gaudens, pro-
posed the following motion:
The Chamber is determined to sup
port only Government resolved to de-
fenu vigorously Republican institutions
and to secure public order, and passes
to the order of the day
This motion, Premier Dupuy refused
to accept, but it was adopted by a vote
of 321 to 173. After the vote was am
nounced the Socialists shouted: "Vive la
Republique.'

OBJECTION TO DUPUY.
Paris, June 1.-THE Cabinet has re-
signed.
President Loubet has accented the
designations of the Cabinet Ministers.
but has requested them to retain their
Offices until their successors are named.
1t is presumed that NJ. Loubet will
summon the Presidents of the Cham
bers tomorrow in order to consult
with them about the form&tion of a new
Cabinet
On leaving the Chamber, NJ Dupuy
observed to 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. The President ex-
pressed his thanks for the support he
had received from the retiring Ministers,
adding that he would always remember
their services gratefully
NJ. Dupuy was agreeably surprised at
NJ. Loubet's cortliaity.
There are already many surmses as
to the composition of the new Cabinet,
but it is pointed out that as the Dupuy
Ministry did not fall on question in
volving 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 majority, including
members Of all parties, who We're de-
termined to rid themselves Of the Prem
iership Of NJ. Charles Dupuy.
Socialists and Radicals alike are dis
satisfied with what they have consider
