BRIAND ASKED T0 REMAIN AT HELM Will Reorganize French Cab- inet, Just Resigned. SPLIT ON LABOR QUESTION Divergence of Views Respecting the Recent Railroad Strike Causes the Downfall of the Ministry and Sev- eral of the Premier’s Colleagues Will Be Dropped From Membership in the New Cabinet. Paris, Nov. 3.—The cabinet of Pre- mier Briand, which succeeded the Clemenceau ministry on July 23, 1900, unexpectedly resigned in consequence of the bitter attacks made in the chamber of deputies on the govern- ment’s action in suppressing the re- cent railroad strike and its proposed legislation for the avoidance of simi- lar crises. Premier Briand has accept- ed President Fallieres’ request to form a new ministry. A strong Republican majority in the chamber voted confidence in the gov- ernment, but at a meeting of the min- isters dissensions developed and Briand announced that new and seri- ous problems growing out of the labor trouble must be met by a united min- istry. Accordingly he suggested the retirement of himself and associates. It is likely that Foreign Minister Pichon, Minister of Commerce Dupuy, Minister of War Brun and Minister of the Navy La Peyrere will remain in the new cabinet. M. Millerand, minister of public works, posts and telegraphs, and M. Viviani, minister of labor, dissented from the Briand programme, and their retirement is likely to be permanent. Millerand especially was dissatisfied, insisting that the principle of arbitra- tion should be recognized more broad- ly by the government. First Act as Premier. Briand’s cabinet was formed on July 23, 1909. The first important speech made by Briand after he attained the premiership was at Periguex on Oct. 10, a year ago. At that time he an- nounced the government would pay special and immediate attention to so- cial questions, its first care being to remodel the laws of the trades unions, giving them a right to hold and ad- minister property, thus transforming them from political agitation centers into useful and practical bodies. He also promised legislation to facilitate and promote the participation of work- ers in the profits which under the law was then impossible. The religious question, he asserted, had been regulated with justice, leav- ing the Catholics master of their con- science and churches. Briand, who was a Socialist, was made more conservative by the re- sponsibility of power and experience. On Nov. 8, 1909, Briand won a notable victory in defeating in the chamber of deputies a proposal to change the method of elections of deputies from representation by ar- rondizement to representation by de- partment. He carried the day by threatening to resign if the reform was voted. Given a Second Vindication. Again on March 15 last Briand re- ceived an overwhelming vindication when the chamber of deputies con- demned the manner in which the prop- erty of the religious orders had been liquidated, but expressed confidence in the government’s promise to take the responsibility and punish the guilty. Briand was confronted on Oct. 10 by the railway strike on the Northern railroad and which, spreading to oth- er lines, threatened to paralyze traffic throughout the republic. He met the situation with a firmness that chal- lenged the admiration of the world. Declaring the strike was a rebellious movement fomented by labor leaders at the very hour the government was trying to bring about concessions in their behalf by the railroad companies. he set about to crush the movement. He broke the backbone of the strike by calling to the colors the railway employes as reservists. This action was bitterly criticised by the Socialists, who attacked the premier in the chamber of deputies. WILL ASSAIL ROOSEVELT Jack Johnson to Take Stump in New York State. New York, Nov. 3.—That Jack John- son, the world’s champion pugilist, is not afraid of anything, is indicated in the announcement that the big colored fighter has been drafted by the Demo- crats as a campaign speaker and that he will assail Colonel Roosevelt as an epemy of the negro race.

Grant, commander of the department of the East, who was one of the closest followers of the work of the airmen at the Belmont Park meet, sees no war peril in the aeroplane. As an engine of war he thinks they will be found comparatively harmless. At the range less than 6,000 feet he is convinced that sharpshooters could easily pick off the best of them, while at a greater height their distance would probably defeat their own pur- poses, “In the present unperfected state of the aeroplane,” he says, “it will be useful for scouting purposes, but not formidable as an engine of war.” SAYS GUBAN BLEW UP THE MAINE Statement of Member of Gom- mission of Inquiry. Kansas City, Nov. 3.—"It was Jose Zavaldo, a Cuban and electrician at Moro castle, wio threw the switch which set off the powerful mine that destroyed the battleship Maine and sent 207 lives to eternity. “The battleship was blown from the bottom by a submarine explosive and this fact was known to the president, the secretary of the navy and the secretary of war and four army offi- cers before war was declared against Spain.” In this statement Colonel Jasper Ewing Brady, late of the United States army and one of the four men com- missioned to investigate the disaster, accounted for the destruction of the warship which resulted in the Span- ish-American war. Colonel Brady asserted that the dis- aster was the act of Cubans who sought to bring on the war. “This Zavaldo was afterward shot by order of General Blanco,” continued the colonel, “but Blanco would never admit why he had ordeted it dome.” Story Declared Ridiculous. Washington, Nov. 3.—The state- ment made by Captain Jasper Ewing Brady in Kansas City to the effect that the battleship Maine was blown up by a Cuban and that high officials of the TUnited States were aware of the facts at the time the war with Spain was declared was asserted to be utterly ridiculous by high army and uavy officers. LANDS IN GREAT DEMAND Scenes of Old Days Re-Enacted Western Cities. Spokane, Wash., Nov. 3.—Scenes of the old days were re-enacted at Te- koa, Wash., Missoula and Kalispell, Mont., and Coeur d’Alene, Ida., when hundreds of homeseekers swarmed around the land office doors to get a chance to secure land on the Flathead and Coeur d’Alene reservations. One woman over eighty years old remained in the line at Missoula four hours. A special train was chartered by five men to run from Ravilli, Mont., to Missoula to be in time for the filing. Old Injury Results Fatally. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 3.—Clarence Ba- kule, formerly a football player at Creighton university, Omaha, died at his home here as a result of injuries received two years ago in a football game between the University of Den- ver and Creighton university. Bakule was kicked in the back and was con- fined in a hospital several months. For Working “Badger” Game. New York, Nov. 3.—Found guilty of attempting to work the “badger game” on Clark J. Jordan, a New York law- yer, Florence Burns and her pal, Ed- ward Brooks, were sentenced to Sing Sing for not less than seven years and six months nor more than fourteen years and ten months. el Got Another Copy. A well dressed man was standing outside a bookseller's shop in Charing Cross road clogely examining one of Balzac’s works illustrated by Gustave Dore. “How much is this Balzac?’ he asked an assistant outside. “Twenty-five shillings,” was the re- piy. “Oh, that’s far too much. 1 must see the manager about a reduction.” con- tinued the prospective customer, and. suiting the action to the word. he took up the book and went into the shop. Approaching the bookseller. he took the book from under his arm and asked what he would give for it: *Seven shillings highest offer.”” he was told. The offer was accepted. the man took his money and left. “Well,” queried the assistant later. after the man had gone, “were you able to hit it off with the gentleman, sir?” “Oh, yes. I managed to get another copy of that edition of Balzac for 7 shillings.” Then the bookseller went out to lodge a complaint with the police.— London Telegraph. A Victim of Leprosy. “On my travels in Venezuela.” said a New York man. “I stayed in a hotel with a young man in whose family there was the taint of leprosy, though he apparently did not have it. One night sitting at dinner he became an- gry at a waiter and brought his hand down on the table with full force. He instantly realized that he did not feel the blow and sat looking at his hand. his face whitening with horror. ‘Give me your knife, Bob,’ he said to his chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in a frenzy and stabbed the side of his hand with vicious cuts from finger tip to wrist. You may not know that lep- rosy appears in the side of the hand, numbness being a sign. The man did not feel the cuts. He arose from the table, knocking over his chair, rushed out into the courtyard of the hotel, and we heard the quick tang of a revolver shot, telling us how he had conquered the leper's curse by ending his life.”— New York Times. He Could Wield an Ax. The skill of the old Maine shipbuild- ers in the use of the adz and broadax was wonderful. One old time yarn is of a carpenter who applied very drunk at a shipyard for employment. In or- der to have a little fun with him the toreman set him to give a proof of his skill by hewing out a wooden bolt with no chopping block but a stone. The carpenter accomplished his difficult task without marring the keen edge of the broadax and showed the foreman a neatly made bolt. Then he brought the ax down with a terrific blow that shattered its edge upon. the stone. *1 can hew fust rate on your chopping block,” he hiccoughed. *but I'll be blamed if 1 can make the ax stick in it when I git through.” The story runs that the foreman lost no time in em- ploying such a workman.
