| IMPEACHMENT.
VERSAILLES, March 13.-The report of the
ELECTORAL commission in favor Of the impeach
ment of the De Broglie and Rochebault cabi
nets, came up for discussion in the chamber, 81
deputies to-day. Before the session of the
chamber began the bureau of the left met an6
settled the terms of the order Of the day to be
moved if impeachment was negatived, fixing 9
stigma upon the members of the De Broglie
and Rochebault ministers. When the chamber
met there was an enormous attendance of depu.
ties, senators and spectators.
Deputy Lengle submitted a resolution for q
committee to inquire into the causes of f1uctua-
ton OF per cent. rentes, between February
% and q, when rumors of their conversion
were current. and demanded urgency upon it.
Urgency was defeated, 1923 to 1874.
The report of the election commission was
then submitted, and Renault assembled the
tribune to oppose impeachment. Brisson fol-
lowed Renault in favor of impeachment. He
said documents existed against the ministry of
the 10th of May which were not inserted in the
report because they were only discovered on
Tuesday. He charged the De Broglie and Roche
bault cabinets with preparing for coup d etat,
and concluded by moving the impeachment of
the members of those ministries. Waddington.
president Of the council, said the present min
istry, on its accession, found two vital ques-
tions;' One: amnesty. was happily settled; he
hoped to-day's proceedings would dispose of
the other. Brisson's report would remain
in history as testimony of the guilt
of the incriminated ministers: their
offense was great, but thei- prosecution would
produce agitation difficult to allay. The
country was tired Of purely political questions.
The government asked the chamber to place
upon its order of day, important bills for pub
lie work, instruction to army and tariffs
France thirsted after order as we'll as liberty
In conclusion Washington stated that if the
chamber pronounced against values of govern
ment, the latter would retire from office.
Brisson quoted the order of the day addressed
last December to the commanders of the
several army corps, at the time when France
was perfectly quiet, making arrangements for
the increase of the garrison of Paris by twenty
i've regiments. Fouquet replied to Wadding-
ton.
Lepere, minister of the interior followed
warmly repeating Waddington's argument.
Modiere DeMontjan strongly advocated i'm
parchment. vote was then taken and i'm
parchment rejected by 357 to 119.
Ramean proposed the order of the day that
the De Broglie and Rochebault cabinet, by
their culpable schemes, betrayed the govern
ment they should have served. The chamber
accordingly delivered them over to
the judgment of the nation, and orders that the
foregoing resolution be ,placarded in every
commune in France
NJ. Clemensen moved the order of the day
pure and simple, which was rejected.
Ramean's order of the day was then passed
24O yeas to 154 nays. None of the incriminated
ministers were present during the proceedings.

cutors have been dismissed and others trans
ferred. Malezieux, protectionist, has been
elected president of the tariff commission.

SUBSTANTIAL RELIEF.
PEsTH, March 13.-The Hungarian minister
of finance left for Szegedin with 300, 900 forms
to be distributed among the sufferers by the
inundation. The greater part of the town of
Szegedin was destroyed and several hundred
people persisted. Relief parties are actively at
work succoring the survivors. No official re-
port of the extent of the calamity has yet been
received.
DANGER INCREASING.
PEsTH, March 13.-Evening-The danger in
Szegedin is increasing. Rescuing boats con-
tinually strike the ruins, so that in many cases
the rescue of sufferers is impossible. One
boat capsized, by which seven women were
drowned. A violent storm is raging, and the
flood is continually rising, and is now two feet
above the level of the Thesis. The unsub-
merged area has been reduced to 600 square
metres, which continually decrease. At the
first Eruption of water thirty-fve soldiers
gratuitously 10000 fugitives yesterday.
THREE HUNDRED DROWNED,
LONDON, March ia correspondent at
Szegedin states the government authorities re-
port 800 persons had been drowned at noon.
Thursday there were still people on the roofs of
houses and in the trees. Some persons died
from exposure to cold. A number of incendi-
aries have been arrested. The towns of Con-
gress at the influence of the rivers Thesis and
Koros, thirty-two miles north of Szegedin, and
Szenetz, two miles nearer Szegedin, are also
threatened. Accounts from Vienna say 1000
persons are still surrounded by the waters at
Szegedin.
SENSATIONAL STORIES.
LONDON, March ia correspondent at
Pesth, summarizing official and private &C
counts from Szegeden, says the dead must
amount to many hundreds. It is impossible
to make close estimate, as the number
buried under the ruins cannot yet
be ascertained. The houses are built
of sun-dried bricks and continue te
collapse long after the first rush of the food

ers is now proceeding with great ardor. Sensa
tional stories of hundreds of buried in the syn
agogue and military hospital are without foun,
