Special cable Despatch TO THE srx.

PARIS, June 12-Alcxandre Ribot has
organized several French Cabinets. bu,
this time he was Premier for a day
only. The Cabinet which he had formed,
after much trouble, was defeated on the
first division In the Chamber Of Deputies
to-day by vote OF 306 to 262. and i'm
medlately resigned.
There was great excitement In the
Chamber this afternoon when VI. Ribot
mounted the tribune to make the Gus
tomary declaration OF the policy of
new Cabinet The feeling that the Cabi-
net would not last long was general. The
declaration insisted upon the rigid APP
plication OF the three year military SER
vice law, but did not bar consideration
OF system OF military preparation for
youths and the better organization Of the
reserves.
IL also was announced that the Cabinet
would attempt TO reach compromise
with the Senate on the question of pro-
portional representation. II was further
declared that the new Government would
maintain the non -sectarian character OF
the public schools, and the promise was
made that reforms would be introduced
for the Improvement of the condition OF
the working classes.
During the reading OF the declaration
NJ. Ribot was frequently interrupted with
shouts of Down with the three years
service!" from the Socialists and Radical
Socialists but he was applauded by the
members OF tho more conservative groups
occupying the centre and right of the
Chamber.
The Cabinet had previously decided to
ask Parliament to authorize the issue OF
loan of S1S0,o0O.0 900 at So per cent.
payable in twenty-five years and not
exempt from the income tax. The pro-
ceeds OF tho loan were to be spent for
the extraordinary requirements of the
army and navy. and TO cover French ex-
pendtures in Morocco.
The attack on the Governments dec
laration was led by NJ Puech Il was
no. 50 much a matter OF principle as an
attempt to show the Radical Socialist
strength. He said, among other things.
referring to the Cabinet: They give us
group of men who inspire sympathy
and esteem and some OF them even adj
miratIon, but they made the error OF no;
obtaining support from those groups OF
the Left who form majority OF The
, Republican majority"
Premier Ribot announced that he had
| received two orders OF the day the first
from NM. Puech and Daimler and the sec
ond from NM. Combrouze and Berger.
He said he would accept the second and

designations to the Elysee Palace.
The general belief is that Rene Vivani,
former Minister OF Instruction, who failed
20 form Cabinet last week, will be called
upon to form a more Radical Ministry.
