chamber today that NJ. Delcasse, min
lister of foreign AFFAIRS, had with
drawn his resignation. Late this az
ternoon II was ofticially announced
that Delcasse will remain In the
cabinet. Tho announcement has
caused satisfaction In all circles.
His Reasons For Quitting.
Paris, April 22.--After a notable SER
vice OF nearly eight years in the dlrec-
ton OF foreign AFFAIRS Theophile Del
casse on Friday informed President Of
the Council Rouvier of his desire and
intention to resign. This announce
ment came as a surprise and shock
to M. Delcasses colleagues of the cab
met, who Immediately took steps to
endeayor to secure q reconsideration
OF his determination. A cabinet coun-
Gil was held in the afternoon, at which
NJ. Rouvler, In the absence of M. Del
case, laid the situation before the
ministers. 1t was the unanimous de-
termination OF the council that the
interest OF the country at this partic-
ular time required that ". Delcasse
retain the portfolio OF foreign affairs.
Accordingly, at the conclusion OF the
council, NJ. Rouvier proceeded to the
Quai d'orsay, where he held an ex-
tended conference with the minister
OF foreign affairs. The president of
the council, voicing the wishes OF
President Loubet and the ministers,
earnestly besought NJ. Delcasse to re-
tain his place in the cabinet. II Is EVIL
dent that NJ. R0uyier's earnest appeal
caused M. Delcasse TO waver In mis-
determination. When the president Oh
the council came from the interview
he stated to his colleagues that he bore
a favorable impression of It's results.
NJ. Delcasse, he said, had given no
final answer, but had promised to re-
serve his determination until to-day,
when a final answer will be given.
II Is believed that NJ. Delcasse will
yield TO the insistence of President
Loubet and the president of the coun-
ell.
The motives leading up to M. Del
casse's sudden determination to retire
from the cabinet are primarily at
tributed TO internal controversies over
the Moroccan question; and this to
some extent has Teen accentuated by
similar controversies over French neu-
traIity in the far east. The opposition
have been quick to seize upon both
questions and headed by socialists and
nationalists. have directed their crit
icisms against NJ. DelCasse. The So
ciallst criticisms have been particular
ly vehement during recent days on the
Moroccan question, and this appears to
have finally decided M. Delcasse to
surrender the question into other
hands. II Is felt that his retirement
now would be hailed in Germany as
German triumph and this is one of
the main consider atoms leading NJ.
Rouvier to earnestly appeal to NJ. Del.
casse to remain in the foreign Office.
