arrived but not on the Panama issue.
The Chamber of Deputies to-day, by q
vote Of 247 to 242, decided to retain the
the liquor law amendment bill as
part of the budget, although
the government expressed itself
as firmly opposed to the amendment,
which increases the burdens of the
liquor trade. Upon the vote OF the
chamber being announced, Premier
Ribot adjourned the session until 8
o'clock this evening in order to give
him and his fellow ministers time to
consider their position and whether
