Paris, Feb. 8.

While the Duc de Guise, pretender to the French "Throne,” has seen in the Parisian riots an opportunity for another appeal for a restora-. tion of the Monarchy, M. Doùmergue, the now Premier, is proceeding quietly with the task of forming his Cabinet.

Public sympathy and support is with him whole- heartedly, although he took pains to warn journalists that he is no' thaumaturgist: indeed, he distrusted miracles.

It was his intention, he said, to become Premier without portfolio in order to keep his hands free to deal with the situation.

A feeling of content has replaced the unrest of Paris since M. Doumergue began his task.

London, Feb. 8..

Almost immediate resumption of work on the giant Cunarder (No. 534) is expected, an ágreement having been reached between the White Star Line and the Cunard Line.

The merger between the companies, which is applic- able only to the North Atlantic branches of the activities of the two companies, is contingent upon Parliament's endorse- ment of the Government's decision to provide financial facilities.

An announcement was made in the House of Commons this evening by Mr. L. Hore-Belisha, who stated that the agreement to merge the Cunard and White Star companies had been reached, conditional upon legislative approval of Mr. Hore-Belisha the Treasury advance to the merged.company maximum of £9,500,000.
