The Duke IN Prison.

PARIS, Feb. 25.-The Duke of Orleans,
who was last night removed to the prison
at Clairvaux, is treated as a political pris-
oner. The list of persons who were per-
mitted to visit him has been curtailed.
The duke was transferred to Clairvaux
with the greatest secrecy. Reporters were
on the watch to see him taken to the train
from the Maison Centrale, but detective
officer dressed TO resemble the duke was
taken out before him. The reporters were
misled and followed this party, whereupon
the duke was taken out another way, and
none saw him. At Clairyaux he occupies
the cell formerly occupied by Prince Krap-
otkine, the Russian agitator. He is not
upon prison diet, but has his meals served
from a restaurant.

FRANCES DEPUTIES.
A New Rule Adopted For the Main
tenance OF Order.


tenance of Order.
PARIS, Feb 25.-The Chamber Of Deputies
to-day made a new rule for the government
of its proceedings, with particular refer
ence TO recalcitrant deputies, who, being
called to order, directed to take their seats
or otherwise referred to insolently defy
the command of the speaker, so that the au-
thority OF the house, as represented by the
speaker, is seldom respected unless actual
force is appealed TO, as was recently the case
when a military guard had to be called in
TO remove members from the floor of tho
house. There is no parliamentary body in
the world whore this defiance of the author
lty OF the speaker goes 80 far as In the
French chamber; and the reluctance Of the
successive presidents Of the chamber TO
appeal to force has cultivated the evil until
many members regard the words of the
speaker in regard to the maintenance of
order as mere idle formality.
A RIOT IN THE CHAMBER.
This trouble reached its climax IN the
recent revolt OF the Boulangists, who prac-
tically made a riot in tho house. IL became
evident then that their Wow Of the relation
of members to the chamber IL INDUCED in
by Others would make parliamentary pro-
ceedings impossible. Hence new
rule has been made. This
affixes penalty to every
refusal on the part of a member to obey
the order OF the president. The penalty is
that the member shall be suspended from
his functions and excluded from the Cam
ber of Deputies during thirty six sessions of
the chamber. This new rule was adopted
by vote Of 277 to 1856. Paul Deroude
protested that to make such a rule was
childish and odious abuse of the power of
the majority.
