something.
1T was boiled dinner day at the

I resumed. Ny love for Florence was
as wide and deep as the mighty ocean,
and on her part I was her sun and

wondered if 1t could possibly last. At

Crisis In France.

Paris. March 8.-President Fallieres
today called both President DubOst of
the Senate and President Doumer Of the
Chamber of Deputies to the Elysee TO
discuss the crisis caused by the sudden
resignation last night of the Rouvier
ministry. President Dubost was received
first, and following departure Nj Fall
Heres conferred with NJ DOumer. The
executive asked the advice of the officers
of the two legislative houses in regard
to forming new cabinet and the best
course to be pursued in this crisis.
The situation is very difficult as the
result of the retirement OF the ministry,
owing both TO the strained relations
with Germany aud the fact that so much
internal discord exists on the subject of
church inventories, which led TO the
downfall of the cabinet.
The public is seriously apprehensive
as to the outcome of todav's deliberation
at the A,geciras convention.
The report is current about the lobbies
of the Senate that if President Fallieres
meets with any difficulty in forming a
new Cabinet, as it is anticipated,
he will order the immediate dissolution
of parliament, thus forestalllng the
regular election which is set for the end
of April
