RAPID CHANGES.
New French Executive Quickly Named—-1s Said
to Favor Dreyfus--Hopes for a
Re-united Republic.
mod
The death of President Faure, the
dread of a revolution and the election
of Emile Loubet as the ruler of the
French Republic were the stirring
ents Which bappened in France last
Friday and Saturday, With the death
“of President Faure, the Royalists
Banapartiste and Nationaligts hoped
that & new power would come inte
J existence which would protest the ar

the desire for the release of Dreyfus
Phe pewly elected President his
7 promised to devotes hin best efforts lo
fulfilling the wishes of the country
and to “reunits the Hepuhlicans who
have drifted asunder by the current

Last Saturday 80 senators and de.
“putes went to Versalilee for the pure
ur Poise of electing a tiew president of the
republic. Guards were stationed shit
all of the pubdic bulidings to prevent
hostile demonstrations
The first ballot resulted in the elec
Hon of Al Loubet, Be having received
483 votes, M. Meline received 209, and
00 votes were scattered.
The Premier, M. Dupuy, the formal.
ly transfered thes executive power to M,
Loubet and congratulated bm upon hia
election.
The President. in thanking M. Du.
pur, expressed the hope of having the
support of the Cabinet. The Benaiors
and Deputies then filed past and shook
hands with the President, who after.
ward received a deputation of newspa-
per men. and through them appeaied
to the whole press of the country to
work in union
There is every sign of a campaign
against President Loubet similar 10
that which drove M. Cssimir-Perler
to resign. Clearly ‘La Patrie Fran-
ealse’” will leave po stone unturned to
achieve this abjcet, {ts chief ground of
objection being that the president is a
Dreyfusard. The street dernonsirations
which ocurred Bunday have tot been
© gpontanenys, but were evidantly or-
“ganized and so far they have been ean.
