Continuing, he promised reforms that
would render the administration of
Justice cheaper. The budget for 1891,
he said, would show real and solid

canals and railways would be expedited,
and there would be reforms in land and
liquor taxation. Referring to the treat

said that the economic regime of France
would necessarily occupy an important
place in the lai,Ors of the house, and
that chambers of commerce and arts and
agricultural associations would soon be

eminent in the difficult task of deciding
the tariffs. In concluding, he said:

communicating to you our plans we ask your
cooperation in the name of the republic.
NJ. Manjan. Radical, moved that ur-
gency be granted for the consideration
OF the question of revision of the con-
stitution. NJ. 1irard appealed to the
chamber to set aside all such questions,
which, he said, created divisions
among the Republicans. NJ. Manian's
motion was then rejected by vote of
345 to l23. The announcement of this
victory for the government was received
with cheers. The senate to-day voted
the navy credit of 100000 francs,
which was passed by the last chamber
of deputies too late for adoption by the
senate.
