Tho wholesome precedent established by MacMalion, Grevy and Carnot in eon- In times of uilliculty the presidents of both legislative houses was discarded. M.

Challemrjfc. ja- oour bad advised dissolution, and threatening It as a moans of bringing the nose of tho chamber of deputies to tho grindstone for Its docility was not thought enough. Besides he is ill tempered and arrogant and sympathizes with the reactionaries, the consequence of having been raised from nothing to the greatest situations and associating with dukus at tho academy.

His intellect is of high bnt his singleness of mind is not with the Wisdom of the serpent. The presidential message was read In the chamber of deputies by M. Brisson in a mellifluous voice and with admiral emphasis. It was the most ill judged state paper of which I have any recollection. It hits at the friends and foes of the author and Is absurd throughout M.

Casimir-Perler goes back today to his private residence in Rue Nltot -where he lives on ibe first floor, and bis mother, who, with MM.

M. Dupuy also has a fair chance and will be supported by the railway companies' money. Ho is treating the council of state's decision in tho railway matter as final. M. Fuliz Fanro, minister of marine, also spoken of.

Caucusing on the Presidency. The revisionist deputies are greatly annoyed at the refusal of M. Brisson in the chamber of deputies to allow a discussion of tho proposal to revise the constitution. M. Michelln, a revisionist and the author of a work upon constitutional rights, declares that ho will bring tho matter before the national assembly at Versailles.

The Republican senators at their meet- Ing balloted in order to decide who should be their candidate for tho presidency. The following was the result: 03; M. Brisson, 64; M. Ixoubot. 18; M.

Casimir-Perier's letter of resignation were a great surprise to the deputios. who, after it bad boon read, gathered in groups In the lobbies. There was no doubt that the letter created a very unfavorable opinion. This was mostly expressed by the socialists, who openly declare that the whole affair Is a victory for them and for their allies The were pleasantly surprised at the president's resignation, although they regard his action as inexplicable. The Moderates appeared to be very wrathful.

M. Flourens. for instance, said: "It is a crime In the face of Europe." M. Isanbert, who was one of Gambetta's personal friends and who has always defended the policy of the Republican union, remarked: thought we had elected a man ana not a child as president. After various meetings at the senate the presidents of tho Republican groups saw Waldeck-Kousseau and strongly represented the intentions of their friends to support his candidacy if he would consent to stand.

It is belie! ed that, in view of this urging and the fact that a great number of deputies have promised to support him. M. Waldeck-Ronssoau will defl- nltolv consent to become a candidate.
