PARIS, Dec 23.-The chamber tonight
when NJ. Millevoye interpellated the min
istry presented scene Of the most stormy
nature. .,
M. Ribot in behalf Of the government
said he accepted immediate discussion of
the subject. President Floquet thereup-
on vecanted the chair, M. Peytral taking
his place, and assembled the tribute. There
was hush in the chamber as the former
minister began his address of exculpation.
M. Floquet repeated what he had stated
before the committee of investigation. He
reiterated with emphasis that while mem
Der of the ministry he had never received
money from the Panama Canal company
| for any purpose and he denied any i'm
| proper purpose in the insertion of paid po-
litical advertisements in the press.
Count Jules de Bernes, an ardent royal
ist, INDUCED in violent attack on NJ.
Floquet and denounced his conduct in the
| alleged bribing of newspapers under cover
/ of political advertising. The count ex-
| claimed:
"You not only allowed the people to be
| robbed of their savings, but you were an
| accomplice in the nefarious crime"
At this there was the widest excite
ment. Deputies stccd and waved their
| arms, and shouted, some In denunciation
others in approval of the language used by
| Count De Bernes. When order had been
restored in a degree II. Millevoye arose
| and INDUCED in a violent attack on NJ.
Rouvier. M. Millevoye was repeatedly
| applauded by the Boulapgists, royalists
| and imperalists, but it was evident that
fewer republicans were inclined to join in
adding to the excitement.
N. Rouvier then arose to make an ef-
| PLANTATION and defence of his conduct. He
said that, at the time of the Boulangist
Il
| government fifty thousand to one hundred
| thoussndsfranos to supply pressing want
| of secret service funds to keep up the
| fight against Boulauger, and prevent him
and his followers from carrying out their
plans.
NJ. Rouvier added warmly:
II always upheld the flag of parliament
tarism and of the republic, and I always
will" (Hisses and chee1s)
When NJ. Rouvier had concluded M.
Mii1evoye stepped into the tribune. The
showed his purpose to precipitate crisis
| Immediately. He spoke briefly, but vio-
lently. The present cabinet, ne said, was
| trusted neither by the people nor by their
representatives. Both it's members and
| adnerents were in the shadow of fatal
| suspicion. Men chosen to serve the high
| interests of France we're falling daily un-
| der charges of disappearing those In
| terests. The time had come for an appeal
to the preferences of the electors. Gap
1 plsuse on the right and disorder on the
| feft.) On behalf of those who had the
honor of France at heart he demanded a
dissolution. At this point uproar on the
| floor interrupted M. Millevoye and he
stood client until the cheers and shouts of
protest subsidized. Then he moved a vote
of ''no confidence"
As he left the tribune there was little
demonstration and Premier Rlbot rose to
defend the government amid profound al
lence. The purpose of M. Millevoye, he
said, was apparent to all. He intended to
| unload scandal after scandal upon the gov
eminent until he wrecked 1t. Cries of
"no!" from the Boulangists greeted this
statement, and III. Millevoye shouted
"The fsots will suffice to wreck it when all
is known" .-.. 81
N. Millevoye, continued M. Ribot, was
attempting to bring to trial the republican
Institutions of France. His attack was
directed not against the cabinet mol
against those pers ons charged with cor.
ruption, but against national insH.
labor and sslf-sacrifce of devoted patriots
The plotters sgsinst the republic should
| not delude Themselves with the idea that 6
| dissolution would accomplish their ends
for the people knew their enemies and ths
| marks of their enemies. Honesty in pol
itics, above all, 1 ssy,"M Ribot called on
ss he turned to face the right, ''but no toll
Grafton of men who conspire to Iuin oul
republic" This agitation is intended, moi
to purify the government and not to serv,
the people, but merely to serve the ends O.
certain designing politicians. To thes
gentlemen say:

The appliance was stilled suddenly by M
Deroulde, who sprsng to his feet AMI

"Thoss who hatter themselves that Their
j, | is no government in France are deluded
and If the occasion comes the presen
cabinet win not hesitate to prove II
This government is prepared to defen

d The irmness and cslmness of NJ. Ribot
