Senator Aldrich declared: "Of this much I am certain. Wa have our end of the schooner flrmlv anchored, and If wa go down It will be with flying eoiora." Senator Bailey took the position that an order of the commlsalcm should continue In effect pending final disposition by the supreme court of the United Slates, and that congress should limit the enjoining powsre of courts other than the supreme court. After the terminal kin of the dobale both Senators Halley and Tillman an nounced their decisions to hold out for an amendment Intended not to in terfere with the operation of the powers which the bill purposes to confer on th commission, but which would save to railroads all the rights to their day In court, abtah they posses under ealaUag statutes. A groat deal hat been said concerning Senator Baileys Intention to offer an amendment on this subject, but lie denied today that he would do so. It la known that he has prepared an emend' ment which will be offered by some member of the committee on interstate commerce.

Eddy, the attomfy for the oil company, that the necessary evidence would be forthcoming from other sources. When seen, tonight Attorney General Hadley said: "After the derision of the supreme court of Missouri sustaining my right to testimony as to the common stock ownership tit the stork of ihe three defendant companlea, the Standard Gil oompanya attorneys Intimated to me that there would be no further resis 1 stated ihe situation aa follows: "The reported German concession has not been communicated tona and w are therefor unable definitely to slate what action may be taken thereupon. One thirg. however, can be slated, with ebeolute poritlveneee, namely. If th tierman concession of tho police question Is conditioned by International supervision, it wtll n ot b accepted." This uiatrmmit preceded the cabinet crisis. After that event no one was able to indicate tha course nf the government. In the lobbies of (he chamber of deputies the question bseama tbe subject of lively discussion. Much curiosity wan expressed concerning , 111 M. Rouvier had mad produce. the. effect that M. Rouvlers retirement ' known l:la Intention of resigning, bow- ever, ha remarked to one 4 hie pate liamonlary supporters: Cabinet Formed In IfOS, "Regarding Algerine, I bops t leave my successor a better situation tha nihat wblrh I found." Il Is generally believed that M. Rouvier, until his anonessor la appointed, win continue ts carry on the same policy be haa hitherto adopted, which haa received the approval of tho chamber of deputies on several occasions. Tha Invtrncttons ahvadyveu , v to M. Revolt remain valid ae tt 16 thought internal politics ehould not be permitted to lrlerfere with FratieeTl foreign policy, end M.

Rouvier presented this letter to President Kallietvs, who accepted the resignations. Tha (ireeident announced hie intention uf consulting the presidents of the senate and chamber cf deputies tomorrow relative to tbe formation of a new cabinet, Tha debate in tbe rbamber of deputies was upon Ihe bloody riot yesterday, during the taking of an Inventory of a church In the village of Boreerhepe, resulting In the death of a manifest at. Criticised Government. Various oraUxrs severely criticised tho governments course asserting that It threatened to precipitate a religions warfare. Premier Rouvier responded: "Tha goveunifnt has the duty to apply tbe Uw. It will apply It without weakness, but also wlib the prudence, tact end wisdom conslstetnt with public tranquility. I ask the adoption of a resolution approving these declaration of the government." Th resolution wan thereupon put to a vote and defeated. Tbe vote waa mot expreenlv of personal antagonism to. the ministry than of th oppoelilon to the church Inventories. Having relumed from pnwenllag to President Kb llle res the resignation uf th ministry, M. Rouvier wae In the lobblas In tbe chamber of deputise by groups of members who expressed their regret at hla abandmeat of his office. M. Rouvier displayed not the slightest emotion. Replying to one of hie followers, he remarked: Doesnt Regret It "I regarded It as a point of honor to fulfill the task I had undertaken. Th chamber's vote has relieved me of a burden, tbs weight, of which had begun to make Itself felt, "1 do not regret II. Responding to the declaration of another deputy that he might havs carried opinio with him, M. Rouvier said: "1 should have received 350 votes had 1 dw lured for more vigorous but the sentiment of the chamber was against the cabinets remaining In office until the election, and the struggle would have begun again tomorrow. It wis better to finish Immediately. The meMing of the members of the cabinet at tbe foreign office lasted half an hour. After exchanging views with reference to church Inventories It was derided to suspend operation In that regard until a new cabinet has I wen appointed. The derisions resulted from a disparity of the opinions expressed In tbe chamber of deputies relative to the method of carrying out the law providing for lb 'separation of church and slate. Had the chamber vnad a motion of confidence In the government, the cabinet would have been compelled to continue to apply the lew, lot the downfall of the ministry having clearly occurred through disapproval of th methods hitherto adopted, which on the one aide, were considered aa loo violent and on the other as too indulgent, M.
