the now President heartily, but In Paris his
reception xns less friendly. Cries of "Vivo
I'ArmiSe" predominated, nnd there xvas u
good deal of hissing along tho route
from tho railway station to tho l.lyn'io
Tho President stopped a fow moments only
at the F.lyseo. olTorlng his condolences to

Spanish-American Pence Commission. M
Liubet will continue to make tho Foreign

possession of tho LMsco after tho funeral of
M. Faure.
After his return to Tarls Premier Dupuy
placed the resignation of the Cabinet In tho
hands of 51. Loubet. who begged tho Ministers
to retain their olllces.
Tho streets of Paris after D o'olock became
noisy and crowded. 5Iany thousands of per-i-ons
remained nt the Oare St. Lazaro awaiting
the return of the members of the National As

by the crowd xvas oxer Paul IMrouledo. xxho.
as usual, made himself ns conspicuous as pos

On the other hand, D6roulode, with a group of
friends, started in tho mlddlo of the street
towards the Placo do 1' Opera bowing right and

but as soon as a few hundred had passed, tho
police, 1100 strong, threw a line across tho
street, utting tho crowd In two. Dernuledo.

of the principal sttoets, tho police dispersing
part of tho crowd wherox-er It beeamo too large.
TAUIS MODS Cay "llESIONl" AND "A IU8
J.0UUET 1"
Following tho arrival of Tresldont Loubot
this afternoon there wero cries of "lteslcnl"
"Abas Loubet!" "Vixe I'Anni'ol" while tho
members of tho Lcaguo of Patriots acclalmod
Caxalgnac, Mellno nnd Dcroulfdo. A demon
stration was mado In tho xlclultyof tho Mili
tary Club which led to a number of arrests.
Theso manifestations continued later In tho
evening in tho lino 5Iontmartre. tho ltoulo
xardstmd tho Axenuo de l'Opu'rn. xvhero there
xvero crowds of considerable magnitude Tho
gates of tho side passages leading totho Boule
vards xiero closed, but tho crowds grow larger,
indulging on tho ono side In cries of "Vive
Loubot 1" and "A bas Itochefortl" Ac .and on
the othor "Vive FArmee!" "A bas Panama!"
and "Conspuez Loubet!"
Tho exhibition of hostile feeling toward M.
Loubet was maintained at a late hour of the
night in the bouloxnrds and Itua Montmartre,
and also In front of tho nowspnperofllces. The
members of tha League of Patriots, who pre
dominated, continued to hurl epithets at 51.
Loubet. such as "ltcslgn, resign I" "A bas
Panamlstsl" "A bas traltresl" Ac Tho streets
where tho demonstrations occurred wore al
most Impassablo Tho police seem favorable
to tho mob, though there haxo been many ar
rests. Prominent among tho cries hurled at 51.

the League of Patriots who ran after tho now
President's enrrligo took up tho cry, rhythmio

arrobted a dozen or more of the demonstrators
before tho Ptosldcntial carrlago reached tho

ANTI-DIIETFUS TBESS ATTACKS LOUBET.
Tho late edltloiis of tho antl-Droyfus nows
papors begin to heap Insults upon tho now
President, denouncing him as having beon Im
plicated In tho Panama scandals. Tho only
foundation for theso baso insinuations Is tho
fact that xx hen 51. Loubot was Prlmo Minister,
during tho exposure of tho Panama Infamy, ho
entered Into negotiations with tho notorious
Arton In order to secure. If possible, additional
evidence against all who were guilty. 51. Lou
bet's motives for this action are unimpeach
able, and fow question his discretion in the
matter.
An attempt Is also mndo to give aslnlslorln
terptetatlon to tho new President's slrnplo
words In responso to his notification of his
(lection. It Is alleged that ho meant to Imply
that his predecessor was not a ttuo Hepublleaii
und that tho Llyseo was not a llepubllcan houeo
while 51. Fiiuro occupied It. Nothing could bo
moro far-fetched and unjust, but the angry
attitude of tho anti-Dreyfus press and publio
l.i-nlghtalToidsevIdeneo that troublous hours
uie still nt hand for Pails nml Fiance.
It Is slgnlllcaiit of tho contrasted tomper nnd
motives of the two parties that, although 51
Faure was notoriously an aiitl-revislonlst, ho
wis never attacked by tho partisans of justice,
while tho moment his successor, whoso sym
pathies .iro on the sldo of the law, Is elected, ho
becomes tho victim of violent nbtiso.

Tho Agrarian party, strnngo to sny. Is more
troublesome nnd moro dnngerous totho Gov
ernment to-day than tho Socialists Tho
Agrarian party, as such, does not exist In Par
liament, though It can reckon on n hundred
votes In tho ltolchstng. It Is composed of
xarlous parties affiliated with or In sympathy
with tho Lmperor's Longjo, called llund der
Landwlrtho This organization Includes 188.
000 membors, of whom 158.000 nro small land
owners. Only 1,400 am big landowners. In
splto of tho small proportion of the latter, any
body acquainted with (I enn una flairs can enslly
understand the linportnnco of tho Indtieneo
they can wiold. Tho league does a codporatlvo
business in manures, agricultural machines,
Ac, nnd conducts nn active Agrarian propa

the llolclistagolettoral eampnlgn It circulated
4,000.000 pamphlets. Its official xxookly oi
gnn has a circulation of 1H0.000. divided Into a
Berlin edition and seven provincial editions.
bluco tho foundation of the lenguo It has In
timidated and harassed tho Government In a
multitude of wavs. notably by opposing tho
Kaiser's pot policy of commercial treaties Tho
lcaguo Is tho centre of the nntl-Amorlcan olo
ment In Germany. Its nctlon cnusod tho re
striction of American meat Importation and
the ridiculous San Joso scale rescript which led
to last year's meat famine. Its official and un
official orgatiR abuse nil things Amerlcnn. Its
first serious check was this xcar's 5Icat In
spection bill, a measure which tho Agrarians
hoped would shutout Amerloan meats, but It
proved a doublo-edged sword Tho edgo
with which tho Agrarians Intended to cut down
American Importation has been blunted by
Ambassador Whlto's diplomacy and Herr x-on
llulovv's statesmanship, while the edge aimed
nt unwholosomo meats, which nre mostly pro
duced within Germany, will strlko ut certain
practices of tho Agrarians thcmsolves. If
Uaron x'on Hammerstein-Loxton Is dismissed
for antl-Amerlcanlsm wo may cxpoct moro
xiolcnt outbursts than over, but It should bo
remembered that tho Agrarians no more repre
sent Germany than tho ropullsta reprosont
America.
At tho leaguo's annual assembly In Berlin
this xveok, Herr Schrompf of Stuttgart said
"Gormany has three euomles. Lnglan I. ltus
sla and America, anil tho greatest ot these is
America, although 8,000,000 Americans nro of

London, Fob. 18. It cannot bo said that
Loubet's election has produced any definite
Impression In England except that our neigh
bor has for a moment tided over a crisis No
body knows tho now President's calibre, or
what lino he will take on the Anglo-French
controversies. Tho Times describes him as a
man of sterling good senso and unblemished
character. Others say that he Is a weaker man
than Faure. whoso chlof strength was with tho
countrjmon and latterly In tho glamour of his
friendship with tho Crarand his personal rela
tions with the heads of foreign States.
Tho revolutionary agents here explain tho
prossnt Irapoteneo of their plans as a result of
I'aure's death Despatches subuiittod to him
at tho last Cabinet council showed beyond a
doubt that tho Lcaguo Patrlo Frnneals had
successfully approachod many olllcers and
the moment a decision In thu Droyfus
rovlslon case was promulgated an attempt
wan to bo mado by a military prontiu
clamonto to forco Faure to resign nnd
Install Zurllnden or probably Gnlllfct. Ilut
Fauro's death found them Quito unprepared.
The militants sa that If no steps have beon
taken In tho last two days, owing to a petty
rivalry botwecn Francois Copp6e, President,
and Jules Lemaitre, Vlco-Piosldont of tho
league, thoy console themselves with tho be
lief that tho election of a pronounced nntl
revisionist, Loubet, will eauso the autl-rovls-lonlsts
to combine. '
An unpublished oplsodo of rnuro's last day
comes to a frlond hero from his son-ln-lavv, 51.
Iteno Bergo. Faure, spoaklng to him nbout
tho accusation brought by Urbain Gohlcr in bis

alleged malversation ns Minister ot Mailnont

President showed strong emotion. Ho said to
51. Bergo that it was hard Indeed to havo to re

Ab regards International relations, It Is not
likely that England will ftel the change In

Wasiiivoton. l'eb. 18. President MoKlnloy
nnd nil friends of tho Administration will do
over thing In their power to bring about tho
passage of the meiisuro known as tho Hull
bill. Providing for tho reorganization of thn
nrmy.;Senator Hnwley, Chairman ot tno ConC
inlltee'Jou Sllllttiry Affairs; Mr Hull. Chair
man of tho liko committee of tho House ; Boua
tor Allison, Chairman of the Comniltteo on
Appropriations, and othor Senate and House
leaders talked with tho President this morn
ing. When they returnod to the Capitol they
let It bo known that tho President is firm. In
his Intention to bring about tho passage of
thu Hull bill it possible. Tho Democrats of
tho Senate nro, however, strongly oppoed to
this measure nnd their prosont spnki-Hinnn.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, Chairman of tho
Demoerntlo National Committee, declares that
nothing but tho Cockrell bill can be passed.
Thoy profess to wcl'ome tho statement atti lb
uted lo tho President that the Dull bill must
be passed, evon If such action necessitates the
calling of an extra session. Thoy say that
thor are quite willing to havo tho Republicans
nssumo responsibility for nn extra session to
pass a bill wlilch will place upon tho People
the burden of heavy tixatlou to support a largo
army in tho Philippines nnd elsewhere. '1 her
welcomo such a political Issue, theysay.and
hi.pe to seoure It by defeating at this session
all legislation 'or the leorgnnlznllon or In
crease or the army.
The President's contention la that tho Cock
roll hill, which provides for the mustering out
of all tho xolumeer officers and enlisted men
upon the exohango of treaty ratifications, is
Inndnauate, because, vv hllo It autliorles the
mustering In or an unlisted foiee sutUelent per
haps tor all purposes. It makes no provision
foi tho Inctenso or nraaniriitlon of the stall do
Paitmeiits. This, the President isjlnts out.
Is lust where tho army Is xvoak. as was dem
onstrated during nml ilnco the rocent war.
1 he nresunt is as good a tlmo as any. tho Pios
Ident thlnke. to consider tho question of army
reorganization. Tho Issue with tho Demo
crats in Congress as to whetlter tho Govern
ment Is to bo supported hv an at my sulllclent
for Its needs might as wel1 bo met nowns Inter,
in the President's opinion, nn I Jhaliman Haw
lev will, there.' le, make a determined ellort
to bring tho Hull bill ton voto
There nre a number of Republican Senators
who are inclined to the opinion ih.it there Is
not sulllclent tlmo lemalnlnu during the pres
ent session, with the great pres ot Import
ant business, to properly oonslder such an Im
portant niensuro as the Hull Reorganization
Mil. and they have therefore been disiosed to
neeupuho Coekrsdl substitute without 'a eon
test. Those Senators will stand b tho Presi
dent, however, nnd join in tlm clTort to pass
the Hull bill during the fow davs that the Sen
ate will give to Its consideration next week.
Tho onpo-ltion to nn extra session Is not ns
sttonz in tho minds of the President and his
friends In Congmssas thelrldesliefor tho pai.s
ngo of the Reorganization bill and the out
come of tho light will probably be. notwith
standing tho firmness of tho Presidents uttl
tudo at present, that If thn Democrats opposo
tho Hull bill to the point of llllliustorlng
ngainst it, tho Republicans will yield to tho
lnevitiblo and make the Cockrell substitute
the ba3ls of a temporary measure, to tcm.iln
In forco until a moro adequato and compre
hensive measure can bo adopted by the llfty
slxth Congress.
'1 ho prospect of tho speedy ratification of the
Peace treaty bv the Spanish Cortes, which wi 1
assemble on 5Ionday, and nn eatly oxeh.iugo
of ratlllcatlor.s have led thn War Department
to begin tho consideration of plans for the
withdrawal of volunteer troops from Culm nnd
the substitution of regular troois for them. As
soon as the ratifications ere promulgated bv
President JIcKlnley all volunteers are entitled
to dlsehatge from tho Federal service, and it Is
Oipectcd that neatly all tho organizations
which enlisted for the war will ask to bo
mustered out 51ueh embarrassment will bo
caused If tho Army Reorganization bill has not
been enacted by that tlmo. Tho military
nutiioiities are hopeful tint somo mensuro for
an Increaso In the Btandlng army will bo passed
before enough transports can bo secured. after
the oxchni.geof ratifications, to bi ing home tho
xolunteer troops In the Philippines, where a
lnrge force Is absolutely necessary In Cuba,
however, the volunteers can lie withdrawn
rapidly, and It wi'l not bo necessary to send
more regulars there before this is done Tho
