\Ji»lted l*re*}« Asun by Bi. Tol Gopyriehi ■x (Times Cables.) (Received Nov. 6, 11 p.m.) " - - LONDON, Nov'. 6. The 'Times’ Paris correspondent, states that AI. Poincare has again escaped a Cabinet crisis between tho Radicals and Socialists congress, owing to tho wisdom of the moderates amending a suggestion to prevent its four representatives in Cabinet participating, in its policy; It disnevertheless, oi the meiy Introduction of the debate and' has been a disturbing influence. Mho immediate danger i;I past for AI. Poin care it is expected will bo able to deal 1 with further attempts to disturb Cabinet’s harmony and the Budget’s equlibriuro Tlie Bourse opened nervously. Business men however, do not feci that the fin ancial reforms have yet reached a stage where irresponsible experiments by the Government can be indulged in with impunity, while reparations and other problems are sccomplicated that it is almost possible that "they could be taken up bv tne new Cabinet.

A LATER DEVELOPAIENT CABINET ALLY FALL United Trt>„ Assn, by El Tel. Copyrigb* , . - iTiinea Gables.) - • - (Received Nov. 7, 1 a.m.) PARIS, Nov. 6. A later development, possibly Resulting in the break-up of the Poincare Government, occuri’ed at the night sitting" of the Socialist and Radical Congress. After AL. Herriol had smoothed‘-over the differences over the Budget and _ departed from Anguers for Paris with friends, a committee—understood, at the behest of M. Caillaux, who is presiding at the -Congress—commenced, to re-draft vthe- pariy ' manifesto. The committee, which consists, entirely ot MX Poincare’s enehiies,. immednltely introduced <i clause tantiuMTurL, to 1 a summons tp Socialist and Radical Alinisters to'leave the Government. There appears every likelihood that the elapse will ho voted in. the absence of M. Harriot. In this event, AI.AI. Herriot, . Harraut, and Queille will have i ho course hut to resign and M. Poincare’s Alinistrv will' be broken. AI. Poincare’s action- is to tender the resignation of tho whole Government in preference to appointing temporary successors to .this or attempting to defy .Congress by appealing to the .Chamber to overirule. it on the'military and ecclesiastic issues.
