With the outdoor drill idea another inno- vation in the military department of High School life has been introduced. It is ex- tra drills. This course was found necessary because of the late date of issuing the program of the competition, but it will be restricted in the future, for the young sol- diers are working night and day, as well as having spent the greater portion of sev- maneuvers. Without fear of contradiction, it may be asserted that never since its or- ganization has a company of Washington High School Cadets attained the proficiency of those that are now eagerly waiting their turn to go on the field. The National Base Ball Park, at the head of 7th street, has been secured as the scene of the great struggle, and tomorrow afternoon at precisely 3 o'clock Capt. Rob- inson, commanding company E, which is a representative of the Business High School, is to march his boys across the base ball diamond, present arms to the spectators, and the competition will have begun.

Decision of the French Ministry te Retire. As cabled to The Star yesterday, the French government was defeated yesterday in the chamber of deputies, on the question as to whether the minister of public had authority to allow the employes Bourbon, and the ministers subsequently proceeded to the Elysee Palace, and handed their resignation to President Carnot. Previous to the defeat of the government, the socialist deputy, M. Jules Guesde, iw to the Referring to the state paltrente trades 1885, respecting unions, M. said that it could not be applied state employes, adding: “If we wert Jcurde declared that the government's re- fusal to allow the employes to take part in the congress was a singular example to pri- vate companies. ; Millerand, socialist, said the | panies always refused to permit th men to attend such congresses, and |ernment directly encouraged attitude which it had assumed If the government refuses to ployes the right to organize, it is encourage the big companies to resist | jaw.” (Loud and prolonged cheers from members of the left.) A Socialistic Motion. Millerand moved, as the order of the day, the order which was accepted by the gov- ernment in 1898, and at that time adopted, and which concluded with the declaration that “the chamber invites the government to compel the big companies, especially the state companies, to respect the law of 1885." The minister of public works said some of the railroad companies had accorded the necessary permission to their workmen to attend the congress. centrist, asked why companies, | Count de Lanjuinais, | the law did not apply to the big nd why, as some of the companies had granted leave of absence, the state did not do the same. M. Deramel, rightist, moved that the chamber invite the government not to make any difference between state and | private employes. The president thereupon said: “The mctions have been submitted. Which shall be put first to a vote?” ‘The question was followed by loud cries of “Both motions are the same.” The Premier's Motion Rejected. At this stage of the proceedings the pre- mier interposed, exclaiming: “The government rejects both motions, | and asks the chamber to adopt the order of | the day, pure and simple.” The motion was rejected by a vote of 275 | to 225, and M. Casimir-Perier immediately left the chamber, followed by the ministers, amid uproarious cheers from the left and the consternation of the center party. Pri- ority being granted in favor of M. Miller- and’s motion, it was rejected by 240 to 20, and M. Millerand said he would support M- Deramel’s motion. The latter oe that the two motions were not identical. M. Millerand, he added, wanted to apply the law in favor of the railroad employes, but, he added, “I want no distinction between state and private workmen.” After a few excited speeches, mel's"motion was adopted by a vote af 351 to Count de Douville-Mailefeu, member of the extreme left, then proposed that the house adjourn until May 3i, in order to give the cabinet time to reflect and to remodel itself. This proposal caused another uproar in the chamber, and it was rejected. The chamber then adjourned until Monday. During the divisions the members of the Tight voted with the socialists and radicals. On leaving the chamber the ministers pass- ed before the benches of the extreme left and were greeted with loud eries of “Vive la Tepublique sociale,” Vive la commune.” President Carnot Informed. The ministers on reaching the palace of the Elysee acquainted President Carnot with the result of the sitting of the cham- ber, and indicated their intention to resign.
