derisive laughter Rouyier shouted:
What l did, all public men have
done. Had | not adopted that course,
the men now interrupting me would
not be seated on those benches"
Bcdlam broke loose the moment the
words were uttered. After the demon
stration had spent itself, Rouyier con
/ tinued:
! II am perfectly ready to 90 before

slightest benefit from the Panama Ca
nal company / challenge an inyesu-

sIation When order was restored, the

most yirulent personal attack upon
