He promised an immediate settlement of the relations existing between the Church nnd State, and also a revision of the financial and military laws. M, Loubprt, who accppted the portfolio of Minister of Pubiic Works in the new Ministry, disagrees with M. Floquet's proposal for roform of the constitution, and has withdrawn from the Cabinet. M. Feriolat Monkland replaces him. M, Meline and M. Clemenceau obtained an equal number of votes for the presidency of the Chamber, but the former has been chosen on the ground of seniority.
