Poincare who has held the Premiership of France for two aud a half years, tendered his resigna- tion and that of his Ministry to the Pres- ident today. At the same time the new Chamber met ina stormy atmosphere, .mid recriminations, menaces and warn- ings, and bzgan its record by creating a S > i P1 1> &Y 15 prezidential erisis. The more pa‘ient and color headed leaders of the new majority overwheimed by their impatient impetu- ous followers, failed to prevent the out- burs: which, in the judgement of the mosi eotipetent and impartial judees of the situation, makes it impossible for AL Millerand and remain long ia the pr-st dential cha‘r. The President it is said by spokesmen respesenting the Eiysee Palace wiii vield only to a formal vote by tne H use of Parliament and further, that he will return voluntary only under the coadition, name'y, if the Ruhr is evacuate:d, if the new political situation in France brings on a conflict in the in- terior, or if th2 new Caambher iails to proteet the Frane. The Communists joined in the anti-Miilerand movement immediately after Dr. Pinard, Dean of the Chamber, had made the opening speech, introlucinz a motion that the Chamber suspend its session longz envugh to atford M Millerand a chance to send in his resigntion. The motion was ruled out, because it was declared unconstitu- tional, whereupon the extreme Loft set up a chorus of *“‘resizn resign’’ This appeared to annoy the Radicals, who ob- jected to interference by the Extremists in the presidential question, on account of the danger of providing a reaction favourable to M Millerand. The Cham- ber will meet again on Tuesday (to elect its President, whereupon, according to eastom, M. Millerand will invite the new presiding officer and the President of the Sanate to the Elysee Palace to consnlt wi'h him regarding the new Cabinet. Boih officials, it is certain, will recom- menu M. Herriot for the ofiice of Prem- ier. NEW YORK, June 2nd.

WORLD’'S LONGEST SUSPENSION DRIDGE Work has begun on America’s greatest suspension bridge, the center span of which wiil be the lonzest in the world. The bridze i 3 being built across the Hud son river three miles from Peekskill, N. Y., and will be known as the ''Bear Mountain River Bridze,” taking its name from the Bear Moun ain Reservation, a section of the Palisades Interstate Parx system, which will ba its westerly termin- us. The site was selected because it is th- - part of the river and is in eus: distance of New York and other larpe cities. The rock formations at the site are suitable for the su port of the weight of the huge structure and to aid in con strueting the approach spans. The teiui length of the bridge including the spans, will be 2252 feet, the center span being 1632 feet. This will be 32 feet longer than the Wiliiamsburg bridge across the East river in New York. whieh is now the longest in the worid, The elear height ahove the water will be 155 feet or about 23 feet higher than any of the bridees connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. There wlil be a 38 foot roadway and five- foot walks on eiiher side. An approach road of concrete will b constructed on the east side to connect the bridge with the nearest highway. The west approach will be on the axis of the bridge and will conneet with the state highway, route 3. a short distance from the bridge. More than 7000 wires will make up the 17-inch cables on whic the roadway wiil be supported and over 12,000 tons of steel will be used in the construction. =—Pathinder.
