DUPUY MINISTRY RESIGNS.

The Dreyfus Scandal Is *1 bought to Have Caused Its Downfall. The Dupuy ministry at Paris has resigned, the result of an adverse vote in the chamber, and President Loubet at once accepted the resignation. In doing so, however, he requested them to retain their offices until their'successors are named. The overthrow of the cabinet was caused primarily by alleged “police outrages” on socialists at Longchamps and in the Rue de Montmartre, but the Dreyfus affair undoubtedly caused the upset. The interview between M. Dupuy and his colleagues and President Loubet was brief but cordial. There are already many surmises as to the composition of the new cabinet, but it is pointed out that as the Dupuy ministry did not fall on a question involving the political complexion of the ministry it is difficult to see on what basis the new cabinet will be selected.
