Paris, May 2L Copyright. 190D-M. Lou bet has returned to Paris after an absolute ly triumphal visit to Russia, where he ap pean to have scored a great personal suc cess. During hirabscnce. the Cabinet ha.l declared Its formal intention to tender Its collective resignation to him before the opening of Parliament, and not to brine about a political debate, which could serve to no good purpose, as, on the one hand, the ministerial record had been frequently approved by the old chamber; and, on the other hand, the Cabinet did not delre to enter into any compact for the future -with the new chamber. Out of deference to the President, and in obedience to his request, the resignation of the Cabinet will not be announced officially till during the course of next week, and the chamber, which meets on Sunday, will have ample time to select its officials and make preparations for the scsaon There is no indication as jet as to the name of the politician upon whom M Lou bet will call after his brief trip on Sunday and Monday to Montcllmar. but there is every reason to believe that, by Its selection of a new President, the majority of the new chamber will take form and substance in a way that will furnih the President of the Republic with such pointers as he requires. It appears likely that M Bourgeois will be elected to th presidency of the Chamber of Deputies He would hate had to decline to be a candidate for the honor if M. Brls f on had entered the list, but In that case it Is possible, even probable, that M. Brisson would bate caused the election of M Deschanel. who has alnavs been supported by the Right, and whose majority has neter teen the fame as that which supported the Cabinet, for many Radicals would have shied at electing M Urlsson, whose failure to obtain a majority from the toters of Paris would hate made his nomination to the presidencj of the chamber look like an act of revenue uoon Paris Paris Mi) lie Ignored. When Paris was Radical the Radicals used to say that no goternment that went against the Parisians was possible Now that Paris has become half Natlona'tst, the reactionaries say the same thing. Two parties have simply used an abso lutely Inane phrase, for a goternment agaln't Paris is perfectly pos'Ible, protlded that Paris Is git en the idea that tha Gov ernment has no fear of It. Louis XIV Napoleon I. Napoleon III and, more recently, Si Waldeck-Rousseau, aU did this. M. Brlf on consequently retired from the field. amrt'be temporary tictlm of his re tirement Jpould seem to be M Descbanel M. Boarceols's election to thp. re!r!pnev of the chamber might be the prelude to the formation of a Cabinet of concentration, supported by a majority In which the So cialists would hate no part, they bat-nip eumiutiiuu wirnseives xrom lacucai ana campaign motives, and from which would be eliminated also the whole of the Rlgnt and the progress!t Republicans who sig nalized themselves by their alliance with the Right. This majority would have two stumbling blocks the retention or dismissal of that bete noire of reaction. General Andre, at the Ministry of War. and the enforcement of the asoclatlons bUl against all the teaching; bodies. Pacification the President' Dream. On his return from Russia, when he land ed at Dunkirk. M. Loubt laid stress on the necessity of paclflcitl jn. Pacification Is a fine word and a very noble Idea, but pacification is rot decreed like an amnesty, and. however desirable, it is scarcely real izable, with two parties, whose only mis sion and sole dream hate been to supplant and destrov each other For the Reactionaries, pacification would mean the abandonment of the associations bill and the retirement of General Andre. Thereupon the Republicans would rise as one man. For tha latter, pacification would mean the retention of General Andre In power and the enforcement of tho associations law that i3 to say, two things which the Reactionaries hold to be incomparable with pacification. Therefore, despite tha advice of M. Loubet 't is to be feared that political peace will not be attained. And. fin- that matter, why should discord not continue to reign between the two camps when it has taken up its quarters In each of those camps? .The Socialists are not agreed among themselves, and the Republicans are on no better terms. As for tho Nationalists, they are torn by the internal divisions of the League de la Patrle Francaise.

LOUIS KEPUBLJC. London, May ZL CopyrIght, 1302.) If some philanthropic American would devote a few millions to tha education of young Americans by a course of travel it would do more good than any number of libraries or scholarships. This, at least, is the opln 'ion that Mr. Bainbridge Colby, a member of the New Tork legal firm of Alexander & Colby, expressed to me in the course of a chat at the Charlton yesterday. Mr. Col by has spent much time on this side of the water, having busine relations here. He is convinced that what young Amer icans need mora than anything else to broaden their lews and at the same time make them more patriotic is such knowl edge of other countries and peoples as can be got only by travel. "There seems to be at present," said Mr. Colby, "among leading nations a fine zeal for cultivating better mutual relations. The visit of Prince Henry of Prussia, to the States was onfy a few weeks ago. Since then, in rapid succession, we have had re minders of this tendency In the foundation of International scholarships in Oxford, tha visit of President Loubet to Kussia and the Kochambeau mission to the States.

A letter to the Figaro makes a proposal that one per cent be paid to an artist or his heirs on all public sales of his works. Carot, Jonklnd. Millet and a hundred other geniuses whose works sell for hundreds of thousands of francs, barely earned a pit tance, so it is only Just that their heirs should benefit by present prices of their works. Proof of this hss been seen in the Lutz sale. M. Lutz came to Paris penniless and mads a fortune. His artistic sense enabled him to discover rising talents, and be bought for an old song works which, in the sale of his collection, realized their weight in gold. M05UME5T TO DAIDCT.

They will refill their balloon at the nearest gas works and hope thus to cover Europe from end to end. CINEMATOGRAPH PERFECTED. The celebrated surgeon.
