In favoring the dissolution he spoke at some lenrth on the necessity of de- manding the Institution of new safe guards t. secure the Republic from the attacks of it's enemies. The Chamber of Deputies, he said, was falling into ruin. and the Monarchists were await ing the death agony of the Republic.
 Premier Floquet said it was in bad taste for man like Gen. Boulanger, who whs flever presentin the Chamber, to judge of it's labors Of critieise it's in- dustri0us members. This led to q war of words. Floquet pfonouncing his ad- yersary lingerer in sacristies and in
 
 photograph came from Germany, where bis interests were.
 Gen, Boulanger: "M. Floquet's speech is oilly tie iitterance of a badly educated school usher. Hc in no way alludes to the general policy of revision. He merely makes personal attacks. l will tell him now, IS told him amid the noise, that he impudently lies.' There was great excitement. and the President decided that a severe rule must be applied to Gen. Boulanger, whereupon the latter resigned his seat and left the Chamber, followed by his partisaus. A vote of censure upon Gen. Boulanger was then cast
