COMMENTS OF PARIS PAPERS.
How They View the Resignation of
Gen. de GaIIifet.

Paris, May 30. a. m. THE news of the
change in the cabinet became known at
100 late an hour last evening to allow the
morning papers to comment upon 1t. Most
of them merely amounted the fact. The
anti-semite and National papers, how
ever, cannot resist the temptation to iu-
dulge in violent language.
The Ldbre Parole accuses Gen. Andre
of being "the only general in the French
army who has publicly manifested SYM
pathy with Dreyfus."
The Echo de Paris recognizes Gen.
Andres high qualities, but regrets that
he consents to associate himself with the
"evil work. of the ministry.
The Gaulois predicts that before three
months are over Andre will show him
self a true Frenchs general by abandon
ing those who now applaud him as they
did Chanoine and Gallifet
The Socialist Aurore considers the de-
parture of Gen. de Gallfet unimportant
politically. declaring that ''it rather
strengthens che cabinet, because the ex-
Minister had lost the sympathy of many
Radicals and Socialists"

GEN. GALLIFET HAS RESIGNED.
The French War Minister Gave Ill
Health as His Reason.

Paris, May SO.-Gen. the Marquis de
Gallfet, minister of war, has resigned.
1t is officially announced that his sue
cessor Is Gen. Andre.
In his letter to NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau,
the premier asking him to place the res
ignation in the hands of the President
of the republic, Gen. de Gallifet says:
81 am very unweil, and my health pre-
vents me resisting all emotions of the
mouent."
Despite the plea of i'll health there Is
little doubt that Gen. Galllfet was annoy
ed by the word felony applied to an Of
ficer of the French army.
Under his direction the army has bene-
flied by quite number of reforms, the
most recent of which was his prohibi-
ton of the sale of harmful intoxicants.
He also forbade that certain newspapers,
noted for their attacks upon the army,
should be placed at the military clubs.
1t is difficult 90 say yet what effect
the resignation will have upon the cabi-
net. Gen. Andre commands the Tenth
Division of the Fifth Army Corps. He is
an officer of the Legion of Honor.

RATHBONE WANTED A GUARD.
He Had Made Rich Pay Back 1900
Advanced by Nicely.

Havana, May 29.-Shortly after the DOS
tal scandal was first exposed, Mr.. Rath-
bone. it is said, requested Gen. Wood 20
give him a guard, as he feared personal
violence from Corrydon Rich, the postal
employe who contested to knowledge
of many of the fraudulent transactions.
Gen. Wood suggested to MIR. Rathbone
that 10 guard were always near him peo-
pie would take Ii for granted that he was
under arrest and the request was with
drawn.
To-day the reason for making 1t became
known. The day after Neelys arrest Mr.
Rich went to Mr.. Rathbone and wanted
to explain that the stealings were heavy.
He was refused hearing when the nature
of his communication was known, and
then he went to Gen. Wood and told all
he knew. Mr.. Rathbone denies that Mr.
Rich ever said a word to him on the
subject.
Mr. Rich declares that when Nicely left
he (Rich), by MIR. Rathbone's orders gave
Neely an advance payment on his salary
TO the amount of about $500, accepting
Neelys receipt. When the scandal was
exposed, according to Mr.. Rich, Mr.
Rathbone told him II would be better to
withdraw the receipt Immediately and to
replace the cash, promising to see him
reimbursed by the dlsbursing officer. This
Mr. Rich says, he did, but Mr. Rathbone
ordered the disbursing officer not to re-
imburse him and he is without funds and
can see no way OF obtaining redress.
Gen. Wood does not deny that Mr.. Rath-
bone made the reported request.

WANT THE WAR TAX REDUCED.
Democratic Caucus Takes Action on
the Subject.


Washington, May 2s,--The Demo- ,atic
members of the House of Represen .tives
held a caucuss in the hall of the House
tonight to consider the trust question,
which is to be. brought before the House
during the next three days, and other
subjects of legislative and party interest
About eighty Democrst' members at
chairman, and Mr., Cummings of New
York as secretary.
AT the outset, Mr., Richardson of Ten
nessee offered the following resolution ex-
pressive of the party attitude:
"Whereas, There is known to be a large
and growing surplus in the treasury over
and above the necessities of the govern
ment arising from the taxes levied and
collected under the war act of 1895. there
fore.
Resolved, That we favor the reduction
of the taxes provided for in said act. and
we do not think the present session of
Congress should adjourn until said taxes
shall have been repealed as to certain
articles and reduced as to others, until
there is total reduction in the aggre-
gate of at least 50 per centum.
I'VE pledge ourselves at all times to
support any measure or measures provid-
ing for such reduction"
Mr.. Levy of New York offered substI-
tute, which was defeated, protesting
against Congressional adjournment until
the war taxes are reduced or repealed
Mr.. Richardson's resolution was adopted
without division.
ANTITRUST Resolution.
The trust question was then taken up
Mr. Ball of Texas presenting resolutions
favoring an adverse vote on the anti
trust constitutional amendment. and a
favorable vote on the proposed Democratic
antitrust substitute bill. The resolution
further provided that In the event of the
defeat of the substitute, support would
be given TO the antitrust bill rs reported
The resolutions brought out consider
able difference of opinion. Mr.. Salmon
of New Jersey intimated that without ref
erence to the action of the caucus he
would favor the constitutional amend
ment.
The Ball resolution was finally adopted
with minor amendments.
AS to the substitute antitrust bill, the
resolution states:
1--WE believe that the adoption of these
drastic resolutions STAUI SHRDLU u
drastic provisions will demonstrate the
power of Congress TO destroy combina-
tions, monopoiies and the consolidation
of capital, faniliarly called trusts
Should the substitute fail Of adoption,
the resolution then provides for supporting
the antt-trust bill reported by the major
ity. As to this measure the resollits soa
says:
while not satisfactory 10 the Demo-
cratic minority, and not likely to remedy
the trust evil the bill does make an effort
toward harassing and outlawing these
enemies of the public and Democrats are
not willing to vote down any measure
tending to that end"
The resolution further urges Democrats
to vote against the constitutional amend-
nent unless 1t be so amended as to leave
tn state unhampered in enacting anti
trust laws.
