memorable Monday, and the Commune was denounced
by thousand voices each person having his own list Of
new Government, loud cries raised for Rochefort
who was brought from another part of th.buildng aud

cries were resumed" You "A member of the Govern

he had occasion Of scandal by revealing the fact
