NEW FRENCH CABINET.
Paris, November 28.
The final composition of the, Cabinet as, announced, confirms the Portfolios cabled yesterday, "and is a coalition of the left and the centre excluding the socialists. The "Radicals, have the lions' share of the portfolios, including M. Chautemp's (the Interior), which the most important from the electoral viewpoint and Mr. Rene Renault (Justice), which cariles the Vice-presidency of the Council, M. Fainleve's Innovation of dividing the Ministry of Finance between the Minister for the Treasury and the Minister for the Budget is discarded and M. Loucheur, who is a Radical, will be the sole Minister of Finance. The Centre is represented by M. Leygues (Marine), M. Wourdain (Pensions) and the portfolios for Commerct, Public Works, the Colonies, and Agriculture are identical with the last cabinet.
Paris, November 28,
..
M. Brland's cabinet-making is regarded by the newspapers as another triumph. On his adroitness depends the support of the very Radicals who previously refused to follow him unless he included Socialists in the Ministry but who have now quarreled with the Socialists. Thus the new Cabinet consists of moderate Republican elements. The Communist paper Humanite remarks Ironically that the Left, cartel has ended eighteen months existence with the re- surrection of Briandism.

A CORPSE STORY.
San Francisco, November 28.
Following the receipt of information from abroad that a scheme is afoot to smuggle Chinese Into America the local director of Immigration in Hawail led a party of searchers over a vessel arriv ing from the Far East and twice ransacked the vessel from top to bottom unsuccessfully. They were about to leave when a searcher in the deepest hold accidently knocked off the top of one of a row of coffins. The corpse proved to be a young Chinese snugly ensconced with his food and baggage. Ten more coffins contained similar: contraband. The Authorities are of the opinion they have unearthed a gigantic conspiracy to smuggle allens which is directed by an agency in the Orjent, which liberally bribes seamen on a per capita basis-Reuter.
RUBBER SUPPLIES.
London, November 28.
The Manchester Guardian says the recent threat of the Firestone Tyre Company to compete in rubber supplies in the far future can be dismissed as unimportant.
In Mincing Lane, on the other hand, there have recently been developments indicating more co-operation between British and Dutch rubber producing industries. When the restriction was removed powerful London Interests secured a hold among Dutch plantations through the recent stream of new issues.-Router.
