FRENCH FINANCIAL CRISIS.
Paris, April 6. According to Le Matin, M. Demonzie intends to ask French citizens for a voluntary contribution of capital bearing interest at four p. c. The Finance Minister leaves them free to nubacribe cash, mouey, or bonds, and leaves it to them to
tre estimate amount of their fártune, but if a voluntary contribution should prove Insufficient then those who have not paid spontaneously will run the risk of a fiscal Inquisition.—Renter.
Ministerial deliberations over the week-end have assisted in the crystallisation of new firnucial menzures, which will probably be fabled in the Chamber to-morrow. The Malin gives the gist of Demonzies proposals, Indicating a compulsory loun substituted for capital levy. The public will be appealed to to make a voluntary return of individual fortines but in the event of the failure of the voluntary plan the tiovernment will take step to enforce accurate returns. It is stated that the loan will bear interest at four per cent. -Renter.

A POLITICAL CRISIS,
Paris, April G.
M. Merand's decisive return to the Senate at the first balls, In the teeth of the greatest opposition of the Government coalition, is a algnificant political event,
Ere Nourch, the Government organ, ha declared that this may not presage a catastrophe for the Government, but it is undoubtedly a slap in the fner, On the contrary the Opposition newspapers hai the event as a final collapse. M. Herriot and M. Millerand when interviewed stated they intended to act and not to talk.-Reuter.
M. Millerand intimates that he will join the Republican Union group in the Senate, of which M. Poincare is also a member-Renter
FRANCE AND THE BOXER INDEMNITY.
Paris. April G.
in-
With reference to the report that the Franco-Chinese agres ment with regard to the French share of the Boxer demnity is to be signed on April 14 at the Quai Dorsay, # is stated that negotiations begun last Autumn in Poking have taken a most favourable turn, which may well lead to a conclusion of the agreement before the end of the month. But any announcement of signatures on a definite date is premature and in
Y event the
signing of the agreement will doubtless occur in Peking and not in Paris--Reuter.
