Paris, June 25.-No decision has yet
been taken with reference to the for
fnation OF new French Cabinet, I'M
mediately on his return from Rouen &
this morning President Fallieres yis-
tied Premier AIonis. who Is still con-
nned to his room a. the result of in : y
juries received at the aerodrome sew
eral weeks ago. NJ. AIonis rendered to
the President the resignation of the
Cabinet. In doing so he indicated that \
Joseph Caiilaux, the Minister OF
Finance, in his opinion was best fitted !;
to succeed in the organization OF a
new ministry lE lTG,:frs5
1t is generally conceded that M.b
CaillauX will be summoned to the
Elysee Palace tomorrow and invited
to form ministry 3t a% i yssss; ltsV
-Four ministerial crises 81 inss nine
months is pretty good record, even
IN France, but seldom has the collapse
OF a Cabinet left Parliament lin such
q degree OF party disorganization and
chaos as now prevails after the fall
of the Monist government
The real situation is that out Of "a
total number OF 594 Deputies no fewer
than 81 have declared themselves in
favoTof electoral reform on asbasis OF
proportional representation, but these
S41 are recruited from all3politicals
parties. from Catholic Royalist- I'm
perialist react, onarIes, as well a s from
that they cannot constitute "a Republi-
can ministerial majority .51l5. Z ~
On the other hand, the Republican
majority is split in two by these cleo
toral reformists, SO that any Cabinet.
no matter how 1t may be composed,
could not count upon real ma iorlty in

form, while, ii it adopted electoral re-
form. 1t could not count upon the nor

Hot-Headed AntI-R rforniists.
II is consequently in tn, power, or
two hundred Radical Socialist Depu-
hes, who are bitterly opposed 10 cleo
torait reform, and who upset the MONS
Cabinet, to obstruct matters SO as Sto.
make any Republican government in,
possible. III
If these two hundred irreconcilsbies
persist in obstruction the only3iiogfcaIg
result Is the dissolution OF Parliament
As popular feeling throughout # the
country is undoubtedly strongly I'm
favor of electoral reform 1t is not
considered likely that these two hun
dred hot-headed anti-reformists Will
rush blindly to their own defeat at
the general elections
The prevailing opinion in both
Chamber and Senate Is that no Cabinet
could last twenty-four hours that does
not frankly cooperate with the elec-&
toral reformist ma iority of the Cham ~

Meanwhile, the Bonapartist reaction
Is waving the plebiscite banner and
working the situation for all it Isl
worth. The Forthcoming visitsto Paris
