PARIS Aug. 1.-THE congress of the two
houses of Parliament at Versailles resumed its
labors on revision Of the constitution. to-day
The first article of the scheme of revision was
adopted by 523 to l39
Before the adoption of the article decreeing
that the, republican form of government shall
be immutable Prime Minister Ferry said: I'VE
do not demand decree of the eternity of re-
publicanism, but for the dignity of France, de.
cree that the REPUBLICAN regime is immutable.n =

archy
On a motion to adjourn to allow Of dis
cussion against the Chinese question in the
Chamber of Deputies, Ferry announced that the
present Congress would probably terminate on
Thursday, and that the Chinese question would
then be Immediately taken up. The motion was
rejected.
The Congress adopted, 6O2 to 1876, paragraph
!, article 2, of the revision BILL decreeing that
republican form of government is to be immut-
able. Paragraph 2, declaring monarchical pre-
tenders ineligible to the presidency, was adopted
597 to I53
The scenes at the convention in Versailles
have astonished and scandalized all Europe
France is put down as incorngibly impractical
and revolutionary in her political reforms The
amount of bad language used has been appall-
ing, and if one were to judge of France by the
parliamentary invectves, her leaders of parties
are the next worst thing in political life to the
candidates. as described in party literature, for
French legislators was not confined to words 1t
is reported that Monsieur Ranc, Monsieur An
drieux and other prominent men came to the
convention with fully loaded six-shooters, and
decent people looked forward to an encounter
which, after the historic manner of the Kilkenny
cats, would have rid France Of some Of her tur-
bulentand distractiEg agitators.

THE DAYTON SOLDIERS HOME.
Taking Testimony for the Defense Stories
of Cruelty Said To Be Exaggerated.

DAYTON, o., Aug 1.-THE Soldiers Home in
vestigation committee has taken all the testi-
rnony for the prosecution. and to day began the
defense. The sergeants of the barracks testified
that the men were not treated harshly and were
not punished unjustly they did not complain Of
personal punishment and none were sent to the
dump unjustly; men often came in drunk and
were sent quietly to bed, but if they remained
over the pass limit, they were put on the dump
for thirty days. Some of the officials were more
harsh than necessary, but these were very few.
The dump work consisted IN picking up the
debris on the campus, and the liberty of the
Home grounds was not allowed them after a pass
had once been abused, for several months
Ihe quarantine quarters where the ineorrigibles,
insane and epileptics sleep, was the same as the
other barracks and under the care of kind
hearted sergeant. There was a chance for minor
officials to vent personal spite, and it was often
used Governor Patrick was gruff but kind
hearted The soldiers felt a lack of sympathy
and feared the strict discipline. Punishment for
lnLraetlon OF the rules was sure but it seldom
fell on innocent heads The burden of com
plant came from few men from each barrack:
there were probably 800 grumblers These in
feeted the well-behaved with an uneasy feeling,
the weak minded were misguided, and some
complaining came from them. The stories of
cruelty and brutality were denied The men re-
latlng such stories were generally unreliable.
General Cutcheon called attention to the stories
Of terror spread by the press throughout the
country, and said the testimony had not substan
tiated it.
General Slocum said: 'sThis garden spot of
America is painted as a penitentiary. Many
papers call it Andersonville, influencing soldiers
who would like to come to remain away One
mile square of land. finer than any park in
America, the Central Park not excepted,
was pictured as a prison pen, frighten-
ing men away who desired to come,
all because of sensational stories in the press,
unsupported by reliable testimony If such be
the action of the prese, God spare me from its
clutches. Let the soldiers know throughout
the land that paradise awaits well behaved men
Their duty has been performed and food,
shelter, clothing, a square mile of park, beauti-
ful by nature and art, buildings wherein pleas
ure and amusements can be found are at their
commando
