THE GOVERNMENT sECTRR.
The French Chamber OF Deputiss
Votes Conf fiience I'm the waldech- -
Rousseau Ministry.

Paris. May 22.-The result OF to-day's
proceedings in the Chamber has abund-
antly justified NJ waldeck-Rosseau In
taking the bull by the horns and calling
upon the deputies to declare themselves
before the country with reference TO the
government. The Nationalists, after the
municipal elections, triumphantly de-
clared that the government had been NOR
tally hit and they announced numerous
interpretations in the chamber. which.
they predicted. would lead to the govern
ment's downfall
On reflection. however, and possibly
after a computation OF the respective
force. they backed down and withdrew
the interpretations. The government, with
view of forcing the hand OF the Nation
alists, had NJ. Gouzy, one Of the govern
ments supporters, raise an Interpolation
thus giving the Premier an opportunity
to state the governments policy clearly.
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, by emphatically
declaring that the government was op-
posed to re-opening the Dreyfus agitation
after the Exposition has taken a strong
weapon from the hands Of the National
lists. In the course of his speech he ad-
mitted that the government was in
fiuenced by the voice of Paris, undoubted-
~ 10 Il IeNlNdl OF Ine controversy.
"a government worthy of the name"
said the Premier, must take into ac-
count the wishes of public opinion and
these definitely commit the government
to the suppression of all efforts to throw
France back into the Dreyfus vortex"
The divisions on NJ. GouZy's motion
brought out the position of parties in the
chamber. The first portion of the resolu-
ton, which divided the chamber into Re-
pubicans and anti-Republicans, showed
four hundred and thirty-nine of the for
mer and ffty-six of the latter, the sec
ond portion, which indicated the position
of the Waldeck-Rousseau Ministry itself
showed a muster of 274 Ministerialists,
while the combined observation-disclosures
lists, disaffected Republicans and Reac-
tionaries-total 226.
After the voting the Ministerialists con-
fidently declared that the government
would now be safe until after the Expo
sition. To-day's division has cleared the
air. and no substitute votes on secondary
matters will cause the Cabinet to resign.
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau can prorogue the
session within three weeks, as IT can be
legally closed on June 9th, and the gov
ernment would then remain in power un-
til Autumn.

approximately, 100 cases of leprosy also
were discovered. Excellent work is be-
ing done by the Manila board of health
under the direction Of Major Ira Brown
in improving the sanitary condition Of
the city and checking the progress Of
the plague. The work of disinfecting
the houses was conducted SO quietly
and Systematically, that comparatively
little opposition was made by the resi-
dents.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 22.-The
British cruiser Prosperine and the
Government steamer Ready, which
went to the relief Of the Cunard Line
steamer Carinthia, ashore at Point
GraVers, on the south coast of Hayti,
with 1850 mules on board, returned this
evening from the scene Of the wreck.

fast on the rocky bank, and that the
vessels sent to aid her could not re-
move her. 1t is feared that he Carin-
thia, will become total wreck. The
Prosperine will return after coaNng
here, and will be followed by the Ready

BUBONIC PLAGUE SCARE.

San Francisco, May 22.-Taking the
declaration of the state board of health
that bubonic plague does not exist in
San Francisco or any other part of
California as text, the Call and
Chronicle to-day editorially denounce
the San Francisco Board of Health.
They charge that last March the city
board of health for political reasons
attempted to create a plague scare,
and is now attempting to vindicate its
former course by the alleged discovery
of fresh plague cases.
The board reported to-day that there
was no news to give out about the
plague. No new cases have been found,
and the board has taken no action as
to the incubation of Chinese.
