Waldeck Rousseau Dies After Operation at Corbell
Former French premier Waldeck-Rousseau, a noted lawyer and reformer, died at his country residence Corbell near Paris after a noon operation to save his life. He led cabinet terms in Gambetta, Grevy, and later formed his own ministry lasting over three years, shaping anti clerical policy and Dreyfus reforms. May his death mark the end of a long Republican era and trigger national funeral plans.
