The Government Rcbukcd.
PARIS, Feb. Sc P, Mn the Corps |
Legislntif to-day NJ. Keratry, one of the |
Liberal Deputies, demanded to know why |
RochefOrt was not arrested before going to /
a political meeting where 5000 were as
sembled. 1t was not necessary that this |
meeting should have been thus disturbed, |
and the people who were participating in 1t /
aroused to violence. The act of the |
Government was a provocatlon to |
the disturbances which took place. /
A member Of the Ministry explained that |
the authorities had refrained from arresting |
Rochefort at Chambers to avoid the scandal |
to which his arrest at such a place would |
give rise. He asserted that the friends of |
Rochefort had prepared to make the de- |
monstration which they had made, and |
upon this fact the Ministry would rest the |
responsibility of what had taken place, and |
the country would judge between the Min |
Istry and the rioters
He said there need be no unnecessary
uneasiness for the people. The Govern
mcnt was animated by the best sentiments
toward them. The Minister of the Interior
followed with the assertion that the friends |
of Rochefort had determined upon dem |
onstration had Rochefort been arrested at
the Chambers.
NJ Oliver praised the conduct of the
police indicating with the. disorders. He said
they had acted with prudence and hu-
manity.

rency from general circulation in France.
