upon .a notable series of successes for M, Poincare, He has proved, what was not previously believed, that it is possible for a. Government to flourish without the help of the Radicals.. He has held to his policy in regard to the Church Bills and high taxation. The Chambers will meet again on May 28rd, and the Church Bills will, then be con, sidered by the Senate. The dangers there will be less considerable than ,in the Chamber, and M. Poincare has so added to his authority that the prospect of his being able to complete his whole programme is bright.
