U was not thought that M. Kloqucl
would offer himself for ro-cleetioii , as his explanations -
planations to tin ; Panama commission anil lethe
the honsi ) of his connection with the P.inama
affair had not proved as satisfactory as IIP
desired , Ilo did , however , present himself
for re-election.
The. Chamber wns nailed , to order bv M.
Pierre lilain , monihcr for Savoy nnd Uoyen
of the houso. Aftorthousn.il formalities of
opening the session had been compiled with
the nnnii ) of M. Kloquet as a candidate for
ro-clcetlim to thn presidency of the Chamber
wns jire.si'ntcd. This evoked n somewhat
unexpected and vehement opposition nnd in
the course of thn speeches made against M.
Floquot pavtiotil.ir stress was laid upon his
own admission that ho had used some of the
funds of the Panama company , not for his
personal benefit but Tor his campaign against
Jinuhttigism anil to secure the election of a
republican Chamber lit ISS'.l.
The vote that usually follown tlio presen
tation of n candidate's name did not take
place , though M. la Martinere demanded
that it bo taken.
CliiiM'a ltiMiulilli-.il ) Prrslilrnt.
M. Floiiet | , seeing thnt the members of
the right were determined to oppose his re
election by e\ cry means in their power , nnd
knowing that without their support he could
not get n majority , withdrew his candidacy.
The republican group then nominated M.
Casimlr-l'erier to the oftlco , who was
promptly elected , the vote standing -IOS to
155. Pcrler lin-j been n member of the Cham
ber of Deputies s nco 1870 and has held sev
eral positions in various ministorics , lie
has been elected vice president of the Cham
ber three times. Uo is a great friend of
General Soussler , the military commandant
of Paris.
During the prox-ecdings in the Chamber u
irroup of thirteen men who proclaimed
themselves nnarehists gathered in front of
the building. They were ordered to move
on by the police , but refused to do so. They
were thereupon placed under arrest ,
llllinl'rt Nc\v Ciildiu-t.
This now cabinet organised by M. Hibot is
us follows : M. Hibot , premier and minister
of the interior ; M. Dovello , foreign affairs ;
M. Tirard , limuieo ; General Loizlermon ,
war ; M. Herdo.ui , colonies and marine ; M.
Dupuy , Instruction ; M. Vigor , agriculture ;
M.Siegfried , commerce ; M. Viettee , works ;
M. Bourgeois , justice. \ . %
This most notable difference between this
cabinet and its predecessor is shown by the
absence ot M. do Freycinet and M. Loubet.
M. l onbet's lukovvnrmness as regards inves
tigation of the Panama eannl scandal has
been ill-concealed , In fact ho bus declared
in n newspaper interview that the deputies
hnd rushed into the inquiry with reprehensi
ble recklessness of consequences.
M. do Freycinet , who has been minister of
war In several cabinets , has been mentioned
ft-equently among the possible victims of the
Panama investigation.
M. Ulbot , while retaining the premiership
has exchanged the ministry of foreign affairs
for the temporarily moro Important post of
the ministry of the interior.
M. Uovello has assumed the ministry of
foreign nffairs thus vacated relinquishing
the ) > ortfollo of agriculture to M. Vlgera , anew
now man.
M. Tirard retains the portfolio of finance
nnd M. Hourgcols , whoso policy in the
Panama matter caused much dlsscntion in
the last cabinet , still holds the nll-imi > ortant
department of Justice. M. Victto and M ,
Burdeau also remain at their former
positions.
M. Dupuy remains minister of public
instruction ,
M. Sirrlen , formerly minister of commerce ,
has been supplanted by M. Siegfried. Ho
was once associated with the notorious
Cornelius Her/ , and although ho denied
before the Panama commission that he had
.neon Herz since 18T5 ho fell under the
ban , as did Hoiivier and Froycinct. General
Ixiizlcrinon , who succeeds to the secretary of
war , is a now man.
