PARIS, Nov. 27.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day NJ. Leroy read a report
from the TonquIn Committee advising the
Chamber to adopt the Tonquin credits.
and urging the necessity that exists for
occupying the province in the north of
TOnquin. 1t was received with cheers
and signs Of dissent. The Chamber then
passed a vote of urgency, and pronounced
for an immediate discussion. NJ. CIemen-
ceau thereupOn attacked the government
and denounced the Ministers, whose OD-
timism had committed so many diplo-
matte and military faults since the sign
ing of the Tien Tsen convention. He
said that Prime Minister Ferry had
committed a veritable political crime in
refusing peace upon that condition.
France, NJ. Clemenceau said. did wrong
in accepting the mediation of England, for
the latter's disiRterestednes was open to
suspicion. He said that Prince Bis
marck was most dangerous, but was still
more dangerous as an enemy. NJ. Gle
menceau insisted that peace with China
was still possible, and, expressed the
belief that NJ. Ferry's version of the
Chinese terms was inaccurate.
NJ. Ferry here protested at being in
suited.
PEKIN's CAPTURE.
NJ. Clemenceau concluded by saving
that if the Chamber desired a policy of
action, it ought to vote sufficient credits
to enable the government to declare war
now, and not postpone the capture OF Pc
kin till after the elections. The faults
that have been committed hitherto bv iso-
lated persons, if continued, will become
the faults of the Republican party.
Cheers.
NJ. Goblet while disavowing the actions
of the government, said that he would
vote for the credits, but feared that they
would only serve to prolOng the present
state OF things. The government, he said,
was unable to make peace, and yet re-
fused to demand the means to make war.
Admiral PeyrOn, Minister of Marine,
explained that the credits of last year
were only 72,O00,000 francs, and that those
for the next year will be $4,000, 900 francs.
This will enable the government to dis
patch 5000 troops to TOnquin to reinforce
the French army and send several cruis-
ers to the navy. The Chamber then voted
the first credit of 16,000.000 francs, and
afterwards, by vote of 351 to 179, voted a
fresh credit of 100000 francs. The or
der OF day, an expression Of confidence in
the government, was then adopted with
out opposition.
