Postal and Telegraph Employees Form Union to Fight Government. Paris. May ,7. The Tost, Telegraph and Telephone Employees" association threw down the gauge of battle to the government by transformlng.Itseltlnto syndicate, or union, thus placing the association on the same footing with workmen's unions, with the right to Rtrlke acainst the state employer, as the workmen have the privilege of doing against private employers. This defiance, which is nothing short of open revolt, came as a sudden and sensational sequel of Premier uiemen-ceauls failure to receive a deputation of postal employees who railed to pre sent demands for the raOempuon oi promises which the government made when the recent strike was declared The most serious aspect of the situation is the fact that" the leaders In this new movement are undoubtedly hand in glove with the moving spirits of the General Federation of Labor, which is now universally recognized as a revolutionary organization and which for a long time has been preparing for a general strike to destroy "capitalism." The suppression of this organization has frequently been contemplated by the French government.

The entire country is tremendously excited by the violent agitation, to which it has been subjected for months and fears are entertained that a whirlwind will be unchained. M. undersecretary of posts and telegraphs, made the following statement: "I declare in the name of the govern, mpnt that were the syndicate a thou sand times as powerful as it will ever be we would never recognize its exisi-(ptop. never receive its delegates nor enter into relations for with its officers, members or any person representing it."

Washington, May 7. The agreement between the United States and Russia negotiated, by -the late Secertafy Hay to regulate the position of corporations or stock companies and other commercial associations was ratified and made public by the senate.
