drowned his voice: Temps, $4,000

in the chamber became tremendous,
members of the extreme left rose from
their seats and demands were made
that Mi,levoye leave the chamber.
Millevoye, however, stood his grounds,
and when alliance of order and
quiet was restored he shouted:
The whole thing is scandal. Bar

Bardeau sprang from his seat and ex-
claimed:

Clemenceau and all the members OF
the party OF the extreme left again rose
from their seats and hooted. After
time they insisted that the rest of the
paper be read Millevoye again started
to read, but Deroulede, who is also
Boulangist, stated that he could not
listen to him and would resign his seat
rather than do so.
The order OF day was then moved to
effect that the chamber condemned
the documents as spurious and regretted
the time that had been foolishly wasted
listening to their p. esentation. This
WAS adopted by a practically unanimous
vote, only four mem bers voting against
