Just as strong a Republican as before
In the course Of his conversat ton with
Senior Azcaratc, the King expressed
great satisfaction At the efforts Of GER
tain Republicans to establish closer re-
lations between Spain and Latin Amer
lea. and remarked that he was consid-
ering making a visit TO the American
continent.
The King also discussed several so
cial questions, concerning which he was
fully Informed. He expressed strong
appreciation Of old age pensions, and
also said he would insist upon the
strictest honesty in elections. the
largest religious tolerance and develop
ment and improvement in education
along liberal lines.
In conclusion the King said he con-
sidered the attributes Of a constitu-

president Of a republic. He then asked
Senior Azcarate If. in the event Of a
Ministerial crisis. he would advise him
to consult the leaders Of the Repub-
lean and other anti-dynastic parties
Senior Azcarate, somewhat taken
aback, reflected for moment and re-
piled: con the whole, yes" Where

forth he would do so.
BY meeting the Republican leader the
King is considered to have brought
about a revolution in the Spanish po-
litical system in the direction of open
ing the doors to anti-dynastic parties,
the consequences of which it Is now i'm
possible to estimate
The Radical leader, Alexandra Ler-
roux and the Socialist leader, Pablo

Clemencesu for Dubost.

Another feature Of the day was the
animated conversation in the lobby of
/ the Senate between Premier Polncart,
/ NJ. BRAND, the Minister OF Justice, and
cx- Premier ClcmCncedu. 1t is under
stood that VI. Clemenceau rcproached
the ministers for the recent attitude Of

statement OF Lieutenant Colonel du
Patty de Clam. and declared openly that
| he intended TO vote for Antonin DubOst

Senator Dubost was to-day reelected
president of the Senate, receiving III
out Of total Of a. votes.
! As the campaign proceeds there is all
evident trend Of public opinion in favor
! Of the president exercising greater pow
ers in the future Although the French
constitution does not invest the Presi-
dent Of the republic with anything like
/ the same power AS are held by the
| President of the United States. there is
/ a general desire that the President
shall exercise the full prerogatiyes
which the constitution allows, such not
/ having been the case up TO the present.
Advice from the Dean.
This idea was expressed in the cham
Der to-day by Louis Passy, the father
of the Chamber Of Deputies, at the re-
opening Of the session.
NJ. Passy, who is eighty-three years
old, and who has sat continuously as 4
! Conservative or Monarchist member OF
the Chamber since the foundation oil
the Third Republic, declared to his fell
low parliamentarians that the time had
arrived when the President of the
French republic should be more than
magistrate presiding at public cere-
monies and resting in the shadow OF
Parliament
The President Of the future, he said
| should exercise a real influence ana
make his voice heard by sending mes
sages to Parliament on matters OF
great public moment. This, he con-
tnued, the French constitution per-
mits, as well as it permits of the Presi-
dent being a permanent and vigilant
guardian Of the interests and honor OF
/ France.
NJ. Passy urged that the President OF
the republic surround himself with
true patriots and not politicians. He
declared that the electoral reform
measures should he adopted speedily,
not as a revolution against the exist
/ ing parliamentary system, but as an
evolution against the encroachments Of
anarchy.
The parties and groups making up
the Republican majority in the Cham
Der and Senate have decided TO go into
caucus tomorrow with the object of
uniting upon a candidate for election
AT the Versailles Congress, which will
be held on Friday next.
