Exciting Times in the French Chamb be,

Exciting Times in the French Cham Der
PARIS, April The chamber of dep
uties to-day discussed the bill prescribing
a mode of procedure to be followed BY
the senate when sitting as a court for the
trial OF Boulanger. De Lafosse denounced
the measure as a mockery of Justice and
an insult to the public conscience. He
declared the senate, being a political
body, could not act impartiaily in the
case. This expression caused a great up
roar; members exchanged abusive epithets
and the scene was one of wild disorder.
When DeLatosse was again allowed to
continue he said that law and decency
required Boulanger to be tried at the
a%ssizes, otherwise the trial would be an
outrage on justice and a disgrace to the
senate. These remarks caused a renewal
Of the uproar. Members of the left made
an attempt to reply to DeLafosse, but it
was Immediately moved to apply the clo-
ture rule. The motion was carried by 253
to 242. A motion was then made to begin
the discussion of the bill by clauses. Car
ried 32l to Do, and before adjournment
the bill passed the chamber by a similar
vote.

stresses are sometimes hired to advertise the
good qualities of the young girls, who have
nothing to do but accept the husband pro-
vided for them. After the girl is chosen the
dover is next considered. two thirds of which
are paid to the father of the bride aud the
other third retained for the wife, in case she
does not prove satisfactory, and is sent away.
