Paris, Nay 19-The reassembling of the
Chamber of Deputies occurs on Tuesday.
Prior to the adjournment of the session
it was indicated that the cabinets hold
on the chamber was far from secure, and
the slap in the face received at the recent
elections may be followed by a coup de
grace from the deputies. In any case, the
fight in the municipal arena, is only the
curtain raiser to a more deadly struggle
between the Nationalists, and the Minis
terialists within Parliament, as the Ma
tionalists, encouraged by their victory, are
determined to try a fall with Waldeck-
Rosseau at the earliest opportunity.
If NJ. Wadleck-Rosseau is defeated in
the Chamber, NJ Meline is looked upon
as his most probable successor, with a
policy Of wiplng the Drsyfus affair\entire-
~ off the slate.
Count Boni de Castellane will be one
Of the first to challenge the government
by calling attention to the speech of JOS
eph Reinach in;imating that a pact ex-
ISIS with the ministry according to which
the Drsyfus affair will be revived after
the exposition.
Maj. Marcham, the hero of Fashoda, is
eager to wn fresh laurels. He is an
nounced to have requested the colonial
Office to entrust HIM with a new mission
to Africa Maj. Marchand since his re-
turn to France has been holding himself
in the background in OF ed ence 10 the de-
sirgs of the government, and has modest
ly refrained from accepting opportunities
TO run as a second Boulanger.
Though more than a month has gone by
since the opening of the exposition, there
are stil very important exhibits which
have not been opened to the public and
large sections remain in the hands of the
workmen. The effective night ilumina-
tons of the buildings and grounds which
was 10 be one Of the most attractive feat
ures is still delayed. The fire in the Cha
teau d'Eau is largely responsible for this
setback, all the switchboards regulating
the electric illumination having been de-
stroyed in the flames, which, it is now de-
clared, had been started in revenge by a
dismissed employee.
The statement is not overdrawn that
another month must elapse before the ex-
position is open in its entirety.
Considerable criticism Is heard against
the administration on account of the
double admission charged between the
hours Of and 10 in the morning. MANY
interesting sections are not open betw Ell
these hours, as, for instance, the public is
not admitted TO the palace of fine arts I'M

Columbia Comfy Factions Settle
Their Strife.


Lake City, Fla. May 19.-The County
Democratic Convention met in this city
to-day for the purpose of electing dele
gates TO the State and Congressional
Conventions. The two factions, which
have existed for many years, came to-
gether and made an equal division OF the
delegates, giving twelve each. This for
ever buries the strife, bitterness and
fighting within the Democratic party in
this county All delegates go to the con-
vention uninstructed, the County Conven-
ton to-day refusing to instruct or to
indorse the candidacy of any person in
the race for any office from Governor
