Unusual Scene of Excitement in the
French Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, Jan. 19.-The Chamber of Depu-
ties was to-day the scene of unusual ex-
element. At the opening of the sitting
President Floquet announced that he had
received intimation from Boulangist
member Iauer) that he desired to ask
Premier De Freycinet what steps the
Government would take regarding the
IntrdnStngeafS attack upon certain mem
bers of the Cabinet. De Freycinet said it
was clear that the object of the question
was to have newspaper articles read from
the tribune rejecting upon the Govern
ment, and therefore declined to discuss
the matter. Cheers.
Several members spoke in favor of the
previous question. Others opposed the
shelving Of the matter, reminding the
House that the President had recently
decided that every member had right
to be heard in question not relating to
the foreign policy of the Government
and maintaining that the House ought
not to vote on previous question when
it was case of sheltering member of the
Cabinet. Hisses.]
As Laur was leaving, NJ. Constans, to-
ward whom the insinuations were di-
rected, suddenly advanced and struck
him in the face. There was an uproar
Immediately. The Government support
ers wildly cheered Constans, while Laur.
surrounded by friends, was led to his
seat. Constans was warmly congratu-
lated.
President Floquet vainly tried to re-
store order, and finally adjourned the Sit
ting. He advised the members to ad-
journ to the committee rooms, but many
remained in the chamber. and there was
no abatement to the clamor. Various
groups of Deputies became engaged in
violent quarrels.
During one dispute Del Peich. Re-
publican member, cuffed the ears of Dep
uty Castelin, a Boulangist. AS a result
Durmateil waited on Del Peich to arrange
duel with Castelin. At this juncture
there was another row, resulting in ar
rangementS for another duel.
About the same time well-known
journalist struck NJ. Boudeau, q Boulang-
ist member. Other personal encounters
being imminent, the Hobbies were cleared
by the officers.
Later the interrupted sitting was re-
sumed. Constans, on entering the cham
Der, was greeted with cheers He re-
sponded by expressing satisfaction for
the sympathy shown him, adding that it
was sometimes impossible to maintain
ones sang Jroid."
A motion to consider the previous
question was then carried by vote of

CHILE's SIDE OF THE STORY.
Evans Notified That the Refugees
Could Not Re Pr,nteo.tad

Could Not BE Protected.
Copyright 1892 by Press Publishing Col
NEW YORK, Jan. ia special to the
World from Valparaiso, via Galveston,
says:
1t is true the Chilean Government mott
fed Captain Evans of the Yorktown that
it was unable to guarantee the safety of
refugees on board his ship if he under
took to transfer them to any departing
steamers, and neither could the Govern
ment prevent any steamer on which they
took passage from being searched in any
Chilean port at which the vessel might
touch while on its way north. There was
no change of mind on the part of the
Chilean authorities in regard to the Chill
can refugees. In proof Of this it is only
necessary to look at the facts. By the
following statement from high authority
it is claimed chat the Government was
pOwerless in its promises: '"The Gov
eminent of Chile has no right under the
Constitution of the country to interfere
with the courts or public prosecutors, and
could not prevent the seizure of refugees
in any part of Chile they touched on the
way in any direction to a neutral port.O
This plain and direct statement of the
law and facts should set at rest any no.
ton if any such exists that the sur-
ties had a stout, tight string attached to it.
The report of the Procurator Fiscal to
the Judge of Crimes in the Baltimore
affair has been made public, and there
has been time to examine it. This docu-
meut contains 5000 words. 1t says efforts
We're directed from the first to ascertain
the origin ofthe trouble, but were unayail-
ing. Several different accounts of the affair
were received. The Commandment of Police
states that the row began in some up-
known tavern in one part of the CITY.
Another witness says it began by the
American sailors beating Chilean sailor
in an altogether different part of the town
The Chilean police say it began with a
II ght between lefI-handed Chilean sailor
and an American, and last Of all the Incl
dents reported had been commenced bv
some ChileaHs splitting in the faces of two
American sailors in the street a crowd
near by was waiting 10 attack them
should they resent the insult, so il was
said at the time. The Baltimore's men
took refuge on q tram-car, but the crowd
stopped the car. hauled the men out
beating them with sticks, stones, and
kniflng them.
The Procurator Fiscal has accepted the
story that the trouble began with the re-
sentiment by Americans of splitting in
their faces. For all that, my Information
leads me to believe that the attack broke
out 5; simultaneously in different parts of
of the city, as charged in President Har-
rison's message. This is denied by the
Ghileans, and the Procurator closes the in
PRODUCTION of his report by asserting that
the fight owes its origin 10 two drunken
Baltimore sailors striking q Chilean
sailor.
He then recounts the list of injured,
