M. WaldeckLRousseau Has a
Difficult Task on Hand.

 

SOCIALIST FORIHE FBENCHMINISTBY

It Is Thought if the Present Leader
Fails to Construct a Cabinet That
1V1. Poincare IVill Be Asked
to Try Again.

PARIS, June ISL—President Loubet
received in audience early yesterday
merning M. Casiiner- Pei1e1, for'me1 pres-
ident of 1411a'11ce, and consulted 111th him
regarding the ministerial crisis. The in-
terview terminated about 11 o’clock, aft-
er which \I. Loubet receive Senator
Pierre “’aldeck- Rousseau.

The latter, it is understood, has made
his acceptance of the task of forming a
cabinet conditional upon the co-operation
of M. Casimer-I’erier and certain sec-
tions of the chamber of deputies, which
he hopes to secure. He has‘consulted
with several statesmen and has had a
very long conference with M. Lepine,

 

formerprefect of police oi Paris.

l\I'."‘Waldeck'-Rousseau is meetinglwith
considerable difficulty, but he appears de-
termined. He will confer with M. Lou-
bet again before submitting :1 draft list
of colleagues.

Of the three former premiers whom he
has consulted, M. Maurice Rouvier, who
was president of the council of ministers
and minister of finance in 1887, alone
consented to take a portfolio. MI Felix
Meline informed him that he failed to see
how his appointment as premier would
bring about a solution of the crisis." M.
Henri Brisson contented himself with
promising support and expressing good
wishes.

M. “Valdeck-Rousscau waited upon M.
Casin‘ler—Perier and earnestly endeavored
to induce him to" accept the portfolio of
war 011 the ground that his presence at
the ministry of war would simplify the
difficulties of the situation. Thereupon
M. Cusimer-Perier consulted with the
president. who pointed out to him that
he would be able to exercise more au—
thority than any one else over the gen-
erals in destroying the germs of irrita-
tion. M. Casimer-Perier replied that he
had definitely withdrawn from politics,
but iie1e1theless would undertake to can-
sider the matter

M. Y1 alceck Rousseau w as notified of
this .1'epl3, which gives him full liberty
to constitute a cabinet of Republican
union.

The question now is whether he will
go so far as to include a Socialist in the
ministr3. He himself is indisposed to do
so. and no doubt his view will p1evail.

It is said that M. Clement Fallieres,
president of the senate, informed M.
Loubct yesterday afternoon that the sen-
ate seemed opposed to the inclusion of
M. Alexander Millerand, the Radical So-
cialist, in the cabinet.

It is understood that if M. W'aldeck-
Rousseau fails the president will again
summon M. Poincare, 11 born he has ask-
ed to remain in Paris at his (Loubet’s)
disposition.

HAT TRICKS ‘BY in Pas

Performances That Are Given in the
House of Commons Every
/
DRY.

 

 

That members of parliament should
be Allowed ‘to wear their hats in the
house has often surprised foreign vis-
itors to the historic chamber, says the
London Mail. '

It is lucky for a- great many members
that the rules of debate, while demand-
ing the -wearing of a hat, make no pro—
‘visions as to the character the head-
gear shall take. The obvious result is
that the variety of parliamentary hats
is wonderful and vast.

But it is not so much the chhracter
of parliamentary hats as the manner
in which they are wow that is of in-
terest. Some truly marvelous balanc-
ing feats are performed with hats dur-
ing every session.

A. J. Balfour and the duke of Demu-
shire can balance their hats on the
bridge of their noses as if they had
beenb weaned practicing the feat. The
duke of Devonshire is especially clever

in this way, and it is very difficult to

say whether heKis not dozing peaceful-
ly behind the ample brim tilted over his
nose.

It has been said that the, leader of
the house of commons deliberately sets
a trap for his adv ersaries by pretending
to sleep in the shadow of his hat brim,
so they may fall into error and he can
pounce upon them.

Another wonderful trick is that per-
formed by Tim Healy, who balances the
front brim of his hat upon the bridge
of his pincenez in a way few men could
accomplish the task. It is one'of the
‘unmistakablc signs that trouble is
brewing in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Mr. Healy’s seat. It practically
amounts to an ultimatum to the gov-
ernment, one which the party whips
must not ignore.

 

’ A CATEkER’S rpu'r. "

He Has a Regular Profession of Ell
Own in London and Makes
Lots of Money.

 

 

Few business men pay more in the
way of commission tips, “sweetening”
and so on, than do refreshment con-
tractors, caterers and providers for
beam feasts and entertainments given
by great firms and societies, says Lon-
don Answers.

“First- of all,” said a great London
caterer to the writer, “employes of ours
swallow a small fortune in paying the
fees to join various orders, societies,
minor clubs, smoking concert commit-
tees, angling bodies and the like. There
is no society in any district with any
considerable number of members that
has not some member who is paid by
us. With regard to societies likely to
yield us a. return we instruct our agents
to push themselves forward as much
as possible and help them with funds.
We get an immense amount of business
in this way and always give a commis-
'sion to any official of any club or society
that gives us the contract, for in our
business ‘sweetening’ is universal.

“We ekeep one smart clerk whose sole
duty it is to register all convivial and
other clubs and societies and the date
of their probable feastings and extra
events. He makes out lists months be-
fore the events and then we are after
them. I have personally paid thou-

sands of pounds in subscriptions and.

fees to all sorts of bodies, and one of
my acti1e partners is a pa3 ing member
to over 300 bodies of one kind or an-
o“:< He turns up at scores of their
meetings—an hour here and an hour
there—and he spends ymoney freely
among fellow-members.” '

SEEDS mt NEED FIRE.

' Curious and Interesting Facts About.

Gertain Trees in California.
and Australia.

 

A California pine tree whose seed
cones can only be opened by fire or
great heat has been attracting consid-
erable attention at Kew Gardens, Lon-
don. It seems, however, that this tree,
pinus muricata, is not alone in its
salamander-like requirements, for a
former Australian living in London
writes as follows to the London Mail:

“The wattle tree of Australia (acacia
decurrens) also possesses the same pe-
culiarity and its seeds will only ger-
minate when subjected to great heat.

'60th the seeds of this tree in boiling

water or roasting them in a frying pan
for some hours has been tried and found
successful, but all other methods have!
failed. After the seed has fallen from
the tree it will often lie dormant in
the ground for years, but immediately

a‘bush’ fire comes along and reduces all
the parent trees to ashes (as 15 often the
case in Australia), the seed germinates

and a perfect forest of young trees will ‘

spring up within 12 months. Even on
ground where there has not been a wat-
tle tree growing within living memory,
these trees have been noticed to grow
up after a. bush fire. The wattle tree be-
ing very susceptible to fire, is easily
killed, and if the same means that
caused its destruction did not induce'
it to grow again it would very soon be
eradicated.” o

The teak is said to be another tree
whose seeds can only be sprouted by' 1n-
tenSe heat.

Many Years Until Accident-
nuy Traced]

 

In the cathedral ofNantes, France,
there is a monument to Francis II. of
VBretagne and his wife Margaret, which i
is considered one of the masterpieces
of French sculpture, says Harper’s Ba-
zar. It is over 300 years old and until
20 years ago no one knew to whom to
ascribe it. -Then, by chance, an old
stone slab was discovered in the same
cathedral, bearing the following in-
scription:

“I, Michel Colomb, was a. poor for-
saken boy, whose only home was the
highroad, where‘alone God and our '
Bretagne saints watched over me; I
'often forgot to eat and drink while
”looking at'the stonecutters who made
the beautiful stone crosses for the holy
place in the diocese of Leon; and I
myself carved small images with a
wretched knife, when worthy priests
took compassion upon me, fed me and
said to me: ‘Work, thou little one, and
look as much as thou pleasest at the
carved belfry and at the beautiful Work
of the guild (the stonecutters and
sculptors); look at all this, love the
good God, the mild Saviour, and the
blessed- Virgin Mary; then thy name
shall be honored in the diocese of Leon
and in the beautiful Bretagne.’ 'This
I did for a long while, that I might be-
come a. good workman, and then our

. Duchess Anne gave me an order to cut

a monument to our gracious Duke
Francis II. and the Duchess Margaret.”
