Most Eloquent Speech of Premier
Brands Career Proves
Unavailing.
GOVERNMENT OVERTHROW
Campaign Really Directed against
President Poincare in Effort
to Drive Him from
Office.

Paris, March 1S.--Deaf to the elo-
quent arguments of the French pre-
mier, Aristidc BRAND, embodied in
what is pronounced the finest speech
of his career, the Senate tonight over
threw the government on the question
of proportional representation. The
Chamber of Deputies had already
passed this measure by n vote of $3.50
to 217, ana practically the whole coun-
try had been clamoring for the poll
ucal Encouragement as provided by
this bill.
After the Senate by a vote of 1G1
to IFS had adopted the amendment in
PRODUCED by senator Paul L. Peytral
a republican liberal which proposed
that the majority should receive the
whole of the representation, the min
listers Immediately withdrew and held
brief consultation. They then
proceeded to the Elysee Palace and
handed their designations to President
Poincare. Tho President accepted the
resignation but requested the minis
tiers to continue to transact current
business until their successors had
been found.
cabinet crisis in the present situa-
ton in Europe is considered bad enough,
but It Is pointed out that the crisis
precipitated by the Senate is graver still,
for 1t is a crisis not of the ministry only
but of French parliamentary regime and
1t is added that any ministry failing to
place proportional representation at the
head of its program would be Immediate
ly turned out by the chamber
The only solution seemingly open is for
President Poncare to dissolve the cham

on the question of proportional rep
resentatlon the new chamber would be
Just as much at loggerheads with the
Senate as ever.
Certain politicians declare that the cam
paign against proportional representation,
which Is led by the eX-premier. Georges
Clemenceau, is really directed against
President Poincare in the hope that the
situation would become so impossible that
no other course would be left open to him
but to resign the presidency.
Speculation is rife in the Hobbies as to
NJ. Brands successor. 1t is believed
probable that the minister of war, Eugene
Etienne, will be offered the premiership,
as 1t is desired to avoid delay in the pas
sage of the new military measures. Jean
BarthOu. minister of justice, Louis l..
Klotz. minister of finance, and Jean Du-
puy, minister of public works, have also
been prominently mentioned in connec-
ton with the formation of the new minis

MARCELINE.
Circus on Columbia Stage.

Marceline, the wOrld-famcd clown, and
the IIippodrome Circus are the attrac-
tions at the Columbia Theater this week,
their initial performance last night draw
ing a full house and continuous laughter.
A circus is always fascinating to both
young and old, with its cOnglOmeratlon
of men, women. and animals, and the
Iold-fashioned one-ringed tent that the
curtain rose upon OH the stage Of the
theater embraced everything seen in the
largest of three-ring circuses and just
as elaborately set.
First. there is parade, in which the
entire company takes part. and then fol-
lows long line of equestrian and other
circus features. 1t is during the rid
ing of Frauline Seabert, the worlds
youngest bareback rider and one of the
most sensational, that Marceline makes
his appearance. and then the fun begins.
He is here, there. and everywhere on the
stage, evoking rOaTs of laughter by his
comicaI antics. He and his elephant are
up TO all kinds OF tricks. the elephant
being almost as much of a clown as
Marceline.
The Mighty Mite Moo Rec, the adpoit,
!adducent, aIhletess, queen of the trapeZe,
who weighs but ninety-siX pounds, yet
possesses the figure Of kellerman and
the skill of a Charmion, gave 4 most
wonderful exhibition.
Torellis' dogs, ponies and monkeys, and
bucking mule keep the audience laugh
ing continually.
Quite a number OF new and graceful
steps are introduced by Mons. Sund-
berg and Mile. Renee. in their gypsy
and tango dances.
