FRENZIED FRENeHMEN.
A special from Paris gives the follow
ing account of the opening scenes at tho
meeting of the chamber OF deputies to-
day:
Long before the hour for the conyen-
ing OF the chamber tho streets in the
vicinity were packed with crowds of
excited men. 1t soon became evil
dent that trouble was brewing for the
government. A strong force OF military
preserve order in the chamber. Not.
withstapding this precaution the CALLER
les were crowded with people, who
plainly showed irritation over the
French defeat ut Lang Son, by keeping
up noisy discussion, and hurting denun-
cfatory epithets at various members OF
the cabinet and their supporters,as they
entered the chamber. When Jules
Ferry, the premier, arose to annou nee
the decision of the cabinet council of
this morning, he was loudly
Missed by the galleries. He barely
finished the declaration when num-
Der of deputies OF the right sprang TO
their feet, yelling. "Down with tho

kissing, "Traitorsw II was some time
before order was restored, and had 1t not
been for the presence Of tho troops there
is hardly Gny doubt violence would have
been done. During the scene in the
chamber the crowd outside became
bowling mob, and made several at
tempts to pass the guards in order TO
get inside the building, but was kept
back by the determined attitude OF the
military.
THE EXCITEMENT is INTENSE.
PARIS, March 30.-The excitement
over the French defeat at Lang Son is
intense. The feeling against the gov
eminent is so strong that an outbreak is
feared. 1t is reported that France las
officially declared war. This, with the
fear of & serious riot aud the downfall OF
the ministry, has caused q panic on the
bourse. All radical newspapers request
the impeachment of the ministers.
Rochefort demands the official head of
the French premier, Ferry, for his
many blunders in Tonquin.
GEN. NEGRIER PROMOTED--GooDA ADVICE.

The newspapers generally urge the
country to act with energy aud cool
ness, and nOIrigS all men that st such =
crisis party feelings and prejudice
should sink into iusiguiicance, and that
there should be q unGnimity of senh
ment in demanding that general ma
tional effort be put forth to relieve the
army in Tonquin. Orders have been is
sued directing tho immediate mobiliza-
ton OF all Of tho fourth battalion
of infantry. The government has de-
cided TO ask for 70 unteers from each
regiment and ell for 5000 maritime
conscrpts.

Prime Minister Ferry presented the
governments request for a credit Of Y4O,-
100000 on acc CUNT OF military operations
in China. Ferry at once moved for the
appointment of u committee to examine
and report on credits, and he demanded
that the motion be given priority. The

Large crowds surrounded the French

stores at Chud viii suffice for all the
needs of the French" The kilograms
maintain absolute silonCe regarding the
French losses.
THE EXCITEMENT GROWS.
The excitement caused by the French
defeat at Lang Son grows apace. Rents
at once responded to the popular feel-
ing. Soon after the opening of the
,bourse they had fallen from SO francs,
.22L confines, the closing price OF
Saturday, TO rs francs, 20 centimes.
Shortly before there was another
sharp decline, prices falling to 7G francs,

tho popular manifestations being made
outside the chamber of deputies. Stocks
declined more or less, in sympathy with
the downward movement of rentes.
The action of the government was
awaited with anxious suspense and
every rumor eagerly caught and re-
peatec with fresh additions.

was necessary to avenge the Lang Son

therefore demanded'a credit of $40, 000, 900
ana he was prepared for separate vote
on this credit from the ministerial ques-
