EARLIER CABLES.

Paris, June 15, The resignation of the Govern- ment came as an entire surprise, inasmuch as, earlier in the day, M. Briand in the Chamber opposed a demand for an immediate debate on the reasons of M. Peret's re- signation and the financial situa tion. He promised it should be held on June 17 and hinted that

he would resign on the spot if the delay were refused. The Chamber thereupon, by 809 votes to 195, fell in with his desire.

After Three Months.

After three months the wages will be based on the ascertained. profits of industry, and it may be reasonably hoped that over a sub- stantial portion of the coal fields the amount will be maintained and even increased; It is contended that in view of those guarantees" the issue of reduction of wages should lose most of its weight: and it is argued that this issue, after ́all; has been more important in the minds of the miners than that of longer hours.
