THE GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED.
PARIS, May 26.-It is officially announced
that Victor Hugo will be buried in the Pan
theon. A decree has been drafted secularizing
the Pantheon in order to permit the interment
of Hugo's body. The date of the funeral is
un6xed, although the government desire it TO
take place next Saturday. M. Rene Goblet
will deliver the funeral grafton. Five hun.
dred OCCUPATIONS have intimated their inten-
ton to attend the funeral. The revolution.
lists OF France are determined to take advan-
tage OF the event to make q demonstration.
The triumphant attitude assumed by the
revolutionists since the withdrawal of military
and police opposition to the communists
demonstration on Monday has provoked such
bittsr feeling among the law and order classes
that the affair, it is believed, will now lead to
an important debatei in the chamber. Many
suppose that one result of this debate will be
an attempt TO overthrow the present ministry.
The chamber of deputies this evening, after
a strong debate concerning the Pere Ia Chaise
riot on Sunday and the governments ~leniency
towards the communists yesterday, voted con-
hdence In the government by a tally of 1888
to 10.
In the chamber of deputies to-day, M,
Lecroix Intercepted the government with
reference to the occurrences at Pere La Chaise
cemetery, on Sunday. He accused the po-
lice OF provoking the disorders. He denied
the right of the government to interfere with

law relating to seditions emblems had not yet
been passed in ALLAN.
M. Fargo, minister of the interior, replied,
accepting all responsibility for
the action of the police. He said that
even though some uncertainty might exist re-
garding the definition OF the seditious emblem,
1t was the duty of the government to preserve
order and prevent a display of emblems cslcu-
lated to incite civil war. He declared that he
did not contound the democracy of Paris with
the minority of the anarchist asitators who
provoked disorder and annoyed the police,
who were compelled to defend themselves.
The police, he declared, had acted as de-
tenders.
M. LIE Lievre urged the government to re-
double its efforts to preventa display of red flags
and banners. M. LeCroix's motion, declar-
ing that there now existed no law preventing
a display of flags and emblems, and condemn
ing the violence of the police on Sunday, was
rejected by a vote of 1923 to 444.
NJ. Cameir Perier then offered q motion ex-
pressing confidence in the tirmnes So of the
government in enforcing respect for the ma.

was adopted by q vote of 3SS tC 10.
