Paris, June 22.-In the deputies today
the physicians sent to England to re-
port on the condition Of Cornelius Herr,
stated that his condition was such that
eXtradiction was impossible. AIilleyoy
asked several questions concerning ex-
tradition and the documents alleged to
have been sto,en from a strong box at
the British Embassy
With regard to the Herr matter the
Gupuy replied that England had done
everything possible, but regarding the
documents he said the public prosecu-
tor could take no knowledge of such
documents.
AIillevoy then stated that he had the
text Of several other documents in re-
spect OF negotiations with Austin Lee,
second secretary of British Embassy
in Paris.
NJ. Millevoy started to read one of the
documents. He got as far as Il saw
today Clemenceau," when NJ. Decel in
terrupted him and begged tue president
of the chamber to consider the matter
an international question.
M. Millevoy further accused NJ.
Clemenceau of delivering to England
u private letter that passed between
Ribot, lately prime minister and minis
ter OF fOl elSn affairs, and French minis
ter to Egypt, md bttWcen NJ. l.Ibot
and the French ambassador at Con-
stantinople.
He produced list of nan1es of per-
sons and papers whom he alleged Eng
land had bribed and the amount of
money givea as brides. He read, amid
an uprOar that almost droWnded his
voice. Temps $1,000 francs, Iematin
10000 francs, Lejour $1,000 francs,
Rochefort 10000 francs, Clcmenceau
$4,000 francs''
At this point the uproar and confu-
sion IN the chan9ber became tremendous.
Members of the extreme left arose and
demands were made that Millevoy
leave the chamber. Milevoy, however,
stood his ground, and when a semblance
of order and quiet was restored he
shouted: ''The whole thing is a scam
dial. Bardeau received $4,000 francs"
M, Bardeau sprang from his seat and
exclaimed: 81 expect the chamber to-
yindicate my honor
M. Clemenceau and all the members
of the party on the extreme left in
sisted that the rest Of the paper be,
read. Millevoy again started to read.
but NJ De Roulede; who is also Bou-
Angist, stated he could not listen to-
him and would resign his seat rather
than do so.
The order Of the day was then moved
to the effect that the chamber con-
demned the documents as spurious, and
regretted that time had been wasted
listening to their presentation. This,
WAS adopted by practically unani-
nous vote, only four members voting
against it while 4S9 voted in favor Of it,
M. De Roulede retired to the commit
tee room where he spent a lengthy Pc
riOd, refusing to receive his most init
mate colleagues. NJ. Millevoy left the
chamber declaring he would resign his:
seat in order that he might act indie
pendentIy.

ALBANY, n. Y, June "A. Senator
Hill was a l>ed yesterday in reference
to recent letter upon the silver ques-
ton purportlng to have been sent by
him from A bany to the president of
the Board of Trade at Cincinnati.
Senator Hin stated that he had writ
ten no letter to Cincinnati upon the
silver question or any other question,
but that upon a request from Mr..
Dolph, president of the Board of Trade,
OF that city, for his views upon the
financial question, he had caused his
clerk to forward Mr.. Dolph
printed copy of his remarks
upon his.a bill for the repeal
of the Sherman law, delivered in the
Senate in February last, and stating
that his sentiment were expressed in
in that speech, and that instead Of
publishing the simple letter from his
clerk Mr.. Dolph had assumed the lib
erty of making some extracts from the
speech and sent them out to the public
in a gGrbled and inaccurate state as
recent letter to him upon the financial
question. Sena tor Hill has all along
declined to be interviewed upon the
question, saying that he had fully ex-
pressed his sentiments in the Senate
and had nothing now to add to or re-
tract from them.
