FRANCE'SSHAKYC CABINET
PREMIER LOUBEP ANXIOUS TO GET
OUT OF OFFICE.

to Drive a Man Out OF His Senses.
The Result of the Vote on the Bill
in Reference to Anarchist Papers in
Doubt.
PARIS, Nov. 16-The governments tilI
providing for the imposition Of more severe
penalties upon anarchist papers that incits
to violence and generally adding to the
stringency OF the press laws was introduced
In the Chamber Of Deputies to-day. An
exciting debate followed but the chamber
adjourned without taking a vote on the
measure Great Interest Is manifested in
the bill, as upou its fate depends the fate Of
the government. There was full attend
ance OF members of the chamber and the
galleries were crowded.
BoULANGIsT's OPPOSITION.
NJ. La Guerre, a well-known BouIanglst
member, opened the debate. He declared
that he was irrevocably opposed to the bill.
and that II was dangerous measure, tends
ing TO interfere with the liberty of the press.
The government ought to prosecute anarch.
lists, not journalists This remark brouQht
forth LOUD applause from the members Of
the left.
N. LASER, the reporter OF the bin. urged
that il was Imperativey necessary to flli up
the loophole in the present press laws. The
chamber by supporting the bill, would show
that liberty was not to be confounded with
licenee,
A CATHOLICS ATTACK.
Count Albert de Nun, an extreme Catho-
lie, said that the lamentable state of affairs
evidenced by the introduction of the bill
was due TO the secularizstion OF the schools
and anti religious education.
Prime Minister Loubet protested aRainsu
the assertion made by Count de Nun thae
the republican party Aimed to destroy res
Hgious belief, and that the governments
prosecuted n propaganda Of official atheism.
The existing laws OF the republic, NJ. Loubeb
declared, were founded on principles of re-
llgious neutrality, both regarding schools
and the administration. The state governs
ment did not resort TO coercion in any form.
M. Lou0ets remarks we're greeted with
cheers.
A SENSATIONAL SCENE.
Count DUuville- Blaillefeu, member Of the
left, opposed the bill. Abiding to Count
de Nuns royalist opinions, he caused a
scene by exclaiming the monarchy Is o
mere tissue Of falsehoods."
Many members Of the right sprang to
their feet and loudly protested against such
All assertion. Others laughed derislvely.
M. Floquet, president OF the Chamber Of
Deputies, called tho count to order. The
latter protested. and when he was prevented
from uttering his opinions he left the
tribune
CRIME ALONE RESTRICTED.
M. Deschanes supported the bill, which he
declared would restrict not tho liberty Of
public opinion, but crime. He denounced
the doctrines Of the collectivists and said
they were profitable only to those preach-
ing them. Every strike, h. Deschanet
added, produced a new politician, who soon
blossomed into a member Of che Chamber Of
Deputies He appealed to all republicans to
oppose ideas which we're carrying France
back to the days Of barbarisni.
There were several conferences by differ
ent party groups OF tho chamber before to-
days sitting, at which was discussed tho
course 30 bs pursued. Only the royalists
and liberal right finally decided 30 vote
against the press bill. Thus the issue of the
debate remains uncertain.
DIssEEsIoN ON EVERY HAND.
LONDON, Nov. 10 The Paris CORES
spondent OF the Daily NetCs says: "It is
probable that the members of the right
will join the radicals to GUST the cabinet ON
the press law. It ia impossible to make a
forecast, the result being question OF
baokstairs politics. There is dilsension not
only between the Chamber of Deputies aud
the cabinet, but between the ministers them-
selves. Premier Loubet Is anxious to
retire from political turmoil He complains
privately that the worries of the premier.
snip are enough to drive man out of bis
mind He realizes that be was only given
the position to act as warming pan for au-
other. He only desires to fall creditably.
Day after day he has raised cabinet
questions on trifes and, always to
his own dismay, be Ros
splendid majority. His enemies are cruel
enough to deny him even an easy death.
Whether he viii find it to- morrow In by NO
means certain. IL not he may fall on ac-
count Of the Swiss convention, which the
chamber will certainly not ratify. IL the
Senate refuses to accept the bill making
members of the Legion of Honor amenable to
the jurisdiction of ordinary courts. Count
de Lesseps can only be tried by the court Of
appeal, and the other Panama canal direo-
tors will be tried by the first correctional
chamber
The Standards Paris correspondents sayss
1.-THE decision to undertake the Panama
prosecution iB considered browning blum
der on the part of the cabinet. Until yes
terday it was understood that Presidents
Carnot, Premier Loubet and a majority OF
the ministers opposed prosecution"
A CRUSADE BY THE POLICE.
VIENNA, Nov. 16-The recent explosion
in Paris has stirred the Austrian police into
renewed activity against the anarchists and
socialists. A large number Of arrests of
extremists have already been made in this
city, Prague and Gratz The Berlin and
London police are cooperating with the
Viennese police in tracking the anarchists.
