THE FRENCH CRISIS

Great Excitement

Paris, January 16 M. Casimir Perier, in a message to the Chamber, states that he declines to become the instrument of the con ductors of a campaign by slander and insult against the forces of authority, and that the President is powerless unless supported by the moral force of the nation. I

The French newspapers generally condemn his resignation as an act of desertion and weakness, and declare it to be a b^ow at th« Republic. The National Assembly will meet at Versailles to-morrow to elect a Presi dent. I

The Chamber of Deputies received the President's message coldly, and separated amid great uproar and shouts of "Vive la Republique Sociale."

The Senate greeted the message with loud protests.

At the meeting of the National Assembly at Versailles the Socialists propose to move for a revision of the Constitution.

Public opinion throughout Europe considers that M. Perier's action was not justified.

The Radicals and Socialists support M. Brisson's candidature for the Presidency, and tte Moderates M. Ohallemel Lacour's.

Paris, January 17 A force of five hundred detectives surround the building in which the National Assembly meets in Versailles. This precaution has been taken to guard against outrages by the Anar chists.

M. Brisson read M. Perier's mes sage, in which he states he has no doubt of the good sense and justice of France, and adds, the Government ronst ensure respect for the laws.

The result of the voting o£ the Kepublican Caucus re the Presidency, is—M. Waldeck Rosseau 84, M. Erisaon 66, M. Loubet 18, M. Challeinel La cour 17. M. Dupuy was rejected in the first ballot. London, January 16 The Standard says that French politics at present are in a complete state of chaos.

The Telegraph considers the position extremely critical.

The Times considers that the Cham ber has abrogated its functions, and Ministers are* expected to act as pup pets subject to the arbitrary freaks of the deputies.

The Daily N ivs thinks it is impos sible to exaggerate the gravity of the crisis. The country is plunging into political confusion.

January 17 The Due D'Orleans is staying at Dover, ready to take immediate action for the restoration of the Monarchy if an opportunity presents itself.

The Times doubts whether MM. Brisson, Waldeck Rosseau or Faure will obtain the necessary 450 votes. It hopes a neutral President will be selected; otherwise it fears a sudden revival of a permanent Convention.

So far the European bourses are not affected by the crisis.

The Socialists propose to move for a revision of the Constitution.

Prince Victor Napoleon is issuing a manifesto.

M. Rochefort thinks the chances are in favor of M. Rosseiu's election.

The Vienna and Berlin Press con demn M. Oasiinir Perier's cowardice in deserting his post.

Le Temps considers that the He public has not been exposed to a greater danger since the Boulanger episode

M. Felix Faure was elected Presi dent.

Paris, Januaiy 17. The Due de Orleans has issued a manifesto in which he declares the hour is near when the country must revert to a monarchy. In the mean time he advises his supporters to select the man as president who is best able to preserve order.

At the meeting of the National As sembly in Versailles the first ballot resulted—M. Brisson 344 votes, M. Felix Faure 216, M. Rosseau 195. This rendered a second ballot neces sary, the figures boing

M. Faure 430 M. Brisson ,v. ... 361 Violent scenes were caused by the Socialists on the announcement of M. Faure's election. Pakis, January 18

The first ballot for President, which ■was conducted amid persistent uproar, was interrupted by the Socialists. M. Dupuy received four votes, M. Rous seau withdrew from the second ballot. On the final result being declared a Socialist cried—"Down with rogues and robbers; to prison with them." M. Ohallemel Lacour abruptly closed the National Assembly in order to avoid a worse tumult.

M. Faure, replying after his election, said he accepted the position with gratitude, and a deep sense of the re sponsibilities ef the position. At the same time he appealed for the support of all parties. The new President on arrival in Paris received a great ovation.

London, January 18

The new French President is $n Op portunist, a shipowner of Havre, and a self made man. He is of spotless re cord and of a Protestant family, though he assured the National Assembly he -was a Catholic,

The Times thinks M. Faure will prove a second Carnot, but less austere. The Standard doubts whether he ■will be better treated than the late President, and thinks M, Brisson would have been a stronger selection. It expresses the opinion that election to the highest office would have converted the latter from a Badical to Toryism,

It |s stated that IV{. Pballempl Jjacour privately urged M. Faure to apt with'firmness, even to severity if necessary, P4.EIS, January 18 The Moderate journals are favorable tp the new President, but the Radicals and Socialists deppunce him as a mpre

[advbetisebibnt J "TWINE RIN3S," "WOOL SALES,* AND "MTSSTATEMENTS." " Will you walk into ray parlour said the Spider fco the Fly." TO THE EDITOR, Olßj—Messrs Friedlander Bros, start O their last letter by saying *' Tell the truth and shame the devil," but to my mind they have written so little truth thus far that the devil ought to be ashamed to again show his face in Ash burton. They then go on to say—Does Mr Thomas know the meaning of the Latin quotations? Certainly he does. But as the translation is evidently difficult to themselves and officers, he won't do it again. In my last letter to you on the questions at tha head of this letter, I said that I would as a finale to this controversy hold over other charges and remarks. 4Her reading theirs of 16th mat. I do not think it necessary now to produce them for tha reason, that, like the shiftiest of the shifty, they make gross misstatements, and carefully avoid the real questions at issue, which are— The existence or otherwise of a •* Twine Ring " with which they were connected, and the improper use they were m- king of the columns of a public newspaper (on the cheap). To prove the latter, I gava as an instance their report containing the number of bales of wool they offered as 1500 at the first sale held in Ashburton whereas they have since admitted it should have been 1183. They have all along very carefully pub on one side the "Twine Ring" question, which I think of the utmost importance to the farmers, aud I now dare them to say that there was no such "Ring" in existence, and they might also at the same time tell us whether the current report is true, that they have fokfeitejo theik deposit by breaking faith with the members of that; ♦' Ring." They then go on to say there is nothing like proving a thing in a practical manner, and "We row challenge Mr Thomas to stake not less than £25, etc., we to prove without the slightest doubt that we were authorized to book the wool in question for our sale at Christchurch," Just-, so, Messrs Kriediander Bros ; but as I have nob been writing about thf> Ohrist church sales, what you Eftid ah ut booking it weeks befora for the Ashburton sale was untrue, convicted out of your ovfa mouth. I &lso stigmatise as tho grossest falsehood the statement that I knew months before that the LjMtt and Terraces wool was booked to go to the Christchurch sale, nor did I know that it was likely to %o there at all until after I had offend it for sale. How will this plain statement of fact tally with Friedlander's letters 1



The owner of the Lyatt and Terraces wool, and everyone else owning sheep in the county, have duiing the last two years, had their lives worried out of them with urging and threatenirgs to give Messrs Friedlander Bros a turn, and it appears that the owner of ly^tt wool promised that if I couldn't sell it in Ashbuhton it should go to them in Christ church, he at the time believing I wouldn't go there to sell. The first intimation I received of this arrangement was within half an hour of the time I introduced the buyer to the seller in the Orange Hall at the place of sale, and therefore I did not know of it months before. 1 bave sold this sama clip for seven years in Ashbur ton, and I know of no reason why I shouldn't do so again. They also say that the two bales were sent as a sample to find out what the balance would bring. This is a palpable falsehood on the face of it, as I offered them as sample bales of a l»rge line. I catalogued chem as 100 bales, sold them as a 100 bales, although I lost the commission through their sneak ing conduct. My accepting Friedlander Bros' challenge would be an absurdity—



too mrch of the wolf and the lamb about it to please me. (By the way, it isn't often that the unfortunate laa»b gets the chance of giving the " wolf" such a doing as I have been able to do in this instance.) I am not fool enough either to stake rcy character or money upon any challenge drawn out on a false basis. I have already offered them a very ample apology to be advertised should they be able to sheet home to me any dirty fricks, or disprove any of my allegations. Apparently their value of such an apology ia £25, whereas I (who no doubt view such conduct in a j somewhat different light to whal* they do) would, if proved guilty, consider the advisableness of clearing out of the dis trict altogether, as I could never after wards hold up ray head among my many friends In Ashburton Seme people have hides like a rhinoceros j and nothing short of a charge of dynamite would have any effect upon them, and even then the charge to prove effective would have to be fired through the slit in their trousers' pocket. I should be most happy to accept our worthy Mayor as arbitrator, and would agree to all the con ditions and everything else except the subject. I am glad to hear thab the ' Rara Avis' is busy harvesting because I was afraid that like the ' Moa' he had disappeared I shall be pleased to meet him, but I am doubtful that he is a • ehy bird,' and that he will net be producible when wanted. If he is caught, the statement attributed to him will prove as fallacious and mis leading as anything the Friedlanders have yet written to the papers. They conclude their letter by saying that three shillings an inch Is a little too much ro pay for such an amusement* So it is, and in my opinion if they cannot write more truthful letters to the papers than they have hitherto done, then the information con tained therein is not worth threepence per mile. Sir. in conclusion, I now make Friedlander Bros a daring and dangerous proposition and it is this—Let us call a meeting of the farmers of the cpunty in some public place, and let Friedlano*er Bros and myself address the farmers, stating our various charges one against the other ; and then let the farmers, and them only, be the arbitrators to decide who is in the wrong. By this, means they will escape the 33 an inch, will have the satisfaction of stating their side of the question, and in my opinion will reap the reward they so richly merit, —I am, Sir. yours faithfully, I*los D. Thomas.
