THE NEW MINISTRY FORMED the Colin London ANl Absorbed in Oampbell Scandal—The Commercial Cable's Rellability—Foreign News In General Points From Paris. Copiright 1686 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis, Dee. 11.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to the —The storm pre dicted by the Herald, accompanied on the coast with thunder, lightning and hailstones av large as walnuts, lias been sweeping over France, wreeking fishing smacks and nproot- Ing trees, In Paris the mischief done has been confined to the biowing down of chim- neys, signs and ffoldings. ‘Three cabs were blown over, and a man walking down the Boulevard de I'Hosbital was blown through a groeer's window smashing some bottles of pickles and pre- served fruits, The stormi s now abating, but the weathier is as cold and blustering as on the worst of March days in New York. HE NEW FIRENCH CABINET, blet has at last managed to form a cabinet, simply because the country cannot be left without a ministry during the holidays. ‘The cabinet is as fol- lows: M. Goblet, minist of the interior and president of the council and ad interim of foreign affairs; Dauphin, minister of tinance; Berthelst, minister of instruction; Sarrien, minister of justice: General Boulanger, minister of war: Admiral Aube, minister of Marine; Granet, minister of posts and telegraph; Lockroy, minister of COMMEr Milland, wminister of pub- lie works: Deville, minister of agriculture. The prevailing opinion is that the cabinet is not intended to last. 1t will probably get through some kind of a budget and then adjourn parfiament and carry on the administration till the chamber reasseu- bles in January. The French army and the navy are tobe congratulated. eneral Bou- langer and Admiral Aube will both remain in oftice. They have done more for the respective departments than any ministers have yet accomplished since 18i0. General Boulanger is now weeding the reserves of incompetent, supeiannuated ofticers, and is about to restore to the French country the lancers, who performed sueh splendid ser- Vi on outpost duty during the wars of the first empire. AMERICANS 1N PARIS, Among well known Americans passing through PParis 1 noticed ex-Senator Robb, of New York,who Is staying at the Hotel Liver- pool. where also is Adele Grant, Mrs. Grant is still suffering from the very severe cold she has had ever since herarrival here. Mrs, Schuyler and Miss Langdon are now staying at the lotel Castiglione, en route for Cannes, where, 1t is said, they will spend the winter. Mr. H, Legrand Cannon, the popular leader of the german, has arrived at the totel Liv- erpool, en reute for India. ‘T'he frost has broken up at Pau and the fox hounds meet to-day at Stuammes. A BRILLTANT AMERI N BALL. The American colony is just breaking Ice of its winter festivaties. A brilliant ser- fes of balls is expected. ‘The first one came ff last night. Mrs, Moore, in her'charming residence on the Avenue Marcean, gave a cotillion, the firstof the season, and it went off delightfully. Everything was dazzling and there was a fresh, beautiful, perfect flower garden of young American girls, among the most admired of whom were noticed Miss Langdon, Miss Urquhart, Miss Grant, Miss Monroe, Miss Dana and the two pretty Misses Post. Among the married ladies were Mrs. James Brown DPotter, Mrs, Vonhoffman and among others, TWO REMARKABLE One of the prettiest walking dresses just outisonel saw to-day worn by a pretty Awmerican woman, Itisanavy blue plush, with white Scoteh pattern overskirt, ele- gantly retrousse in blue velvetine at the back of the tunie, forming a sash quaintly turned under, with large coques lined with soft silk, the corsage of velvetine, waisteoat and sleeves of plush, fastened with tiny pearl and steel buttons, a Louis X1 hat of plush, likea Whit- tington cap, with two gray quills on the side A muif of plush, maching, completed the at- tire, A ball dress of a Ruassian Jonquil and faille Francai: wered with embroidered silk and Iudia muslin lace, edged with a golden brown velvet panier on the left side; se al searfs of the same finen, with jonquil silk reunited with a ehain of passemeterie, gold brown, forming a straight panel on the right side, the corsage covered with embroider Louis X1, lounce forming the shoulders.

To eive an idea of the extent to which this is true I count up already twenty-six columns of the much emasculated report of the Times giorty-three of the Telegraph of the Daily News and of the Standard; seventy-four of the Chron icle and ninety-seven of the Evening News, Lady Colin to-day withstood a very inge niously conceived cross-examination very well. Her manner is ready, modest, courte- ous and selt-reliant. She sometimes fenced interrozations, yet without losing her zrip of the meaning conveyed in the questions, kor instance, being asked: “What have you done with all those Blandford letters?’ she “Pl witheiraw the word ‘all’ and its emphasis,” Council then said: *“Cer tainly: L will substitute any Again, having said that she owitted, on the oceasion of the previous trial in Camera about the disease question, much relating to Lord Colin in order to spare him, eounsel de- manded: “Do you mean that this sparing was on your mind then? But she replied, without any show of pert ness: I can only answer for what I testifie not for what was on my nina.” Q. Is Dr. Bird, who exammed you. a younger man than dr.

Counsel further scored in making her follow Lord Colin’s lead in swear ing an aflidavit without reading it, and in finding an important entry in her diary evidently made with fresher Ink and with adifferent pen from those ot the entries used on the same page. In the main, however, the legal spectators agreed that her direct evidence had not been injured by the eross-examination.

In this he has the hearty support of the speaker and in fact all tariff reformers in the house. Rep- resentatives McKinley, Kelly and Hiscock, republicans of the committee on ways and means, and other antitarifl reformers, have come together and had a consultation over the outlook. They have canvassad the names and situation and believe they will dafeat the constderation of Morrison's bill, but ac- knowledge athat it will be a close shave. “There have been four death in the house since Morrison attempted to take up his bill before and there have been campaigns and a great deal of discussion by the press, so that Just exactly the status of the feeling in refer- ence to consideration is not known, but the | sion opponents of the measure are confident that | Licutenant ¢ they can dofeat consideration if by no more | Fort Huachuca than two or three majority, They take cog- ex nizancs of the fact, however, Jthat there are quite a number of members absent from the city who are opposed to consideration of the bill who are not paired, and who will not be here at the time the bill is called up, In the light of figures made the consideration of the bill will be due wholly to the absence of members who would vote against it if they were present, THE CASE IN GOOD HANDS, This evening’s Star says of the reform begun by Nebraska's senior scnator: “Senators Ingalls and Van Wyek have been entrusted with a duty worthy of all their skill as law makers and law expounders in investigating the aifairs of the Georgetown Gaslight company. It is absured on its face that ou one side of Rock creek a private con- sumer should pay $2.25 net for 1,000 feet of as, while on the other side a few yards dis- tant like service, bad though it be, is fur- nished at $1.25. Here is a difference of nearly 100 per cent, and yet the Washington company flourishes and ‘pays big dividends to Its stockholders, The Georgetown com- less expensively run. The quality of its gas is certainly no warrant for the high price it charges. The complaint of gas com- panies everywhere when questioned about hiuh rates is that there is not enough patron- age to justify a reduction and keep business on a paying basis. This is setting the eflect before the cause, Itis the policy of other merchants, who have the comforts of life to sell, to win patronage by putting prices down to a point where everybody teels that he can af- ord to buy, In the large city of Brooklyn it is likely to of the duty Lousiana_nen free stgar will p oring clas psentatives they realize that the, protec their south is to be saved. day that if sa \se tainly receive th ority of the sen Army leay Statford, I Dakota, twent assistant quar days: son, assistant su one month from tobert 1. pointed postr county, vice | ollowing lowa to-day: Benton county, signed; B, Nel viee I 1L T AL James C.

There was rather more inquiry from the larger interior markets, but outside naper is not much in_favor with Chicazo bankers, as the local wants at present absorb the greater portion of their loanable funds. As the close of the year approachies merchants in all de partments of trade desire to elose up their business as mueh as possible preparatory to the opening of the new vear, and merchants in the wholesale mereantile trade have limited their requests at the banks and made extra efforts o collect outstanding accounts, in which they have been quite successful. farmers and country shippers have been moderately free sellers of grain and live stock, and in turn have eancelled to some extent their obliga- tions with interior merchants. Littlo more currency has been forwarded to smaller in- terfor points, mainly through commission houses.
