PARIS, June 22-Dr. Charcot and Dr.
Brouardet, the eminent French phySl-
clans who were sent to Bournemouth,
England, to ascertain the exact condi-
ton of Cornelius Herr, whose eXtradi-
tion the French government requested
of Great Britain because of his connec-
tion with the Panama canal scandal,
have made a report which agrees with
the statements of the English physi-
clans to the effect that the condition OF
M. Herr is such that his eXtradition is
an impossibllity. The facts-were noted
in the chamber Of deputies today. Nj.
Millevoye asked several questions con-
cerning the eXtrad ition of Nj. Herr and
the documents alleged to have been
stolen from a strong box at the British
embassy.
With regard to the Herr matter, M.
Dupuy replied that England had done
everything possible for her to do to
grant the extraditiop as requested by
France. AS for the stolen documents.
M. Dupuy stated that the public prose-
cutOr could take no knowledge from
stolen documents. M. Millevoye then
stated that he had the text of several
other documents
In Respect of Negotiations
with Austin Lee, second secretary of
the British embassy in Paris, all OF
which bore the date of April 2. 1898. Nj.
Millevoye started in to read one of the
documents. He got as far as 81 saw to-
day Clemenceau." when M. Develle IN
terrupted him and begged the president
of the chamber to consider the matter an
international question. Baron D0marcay
suggested that the chamber resolve
itself into secret committee to hear
the documents, but the suggestion was
voted down. M. Millevoye further ac-
cused M. Clemenceau of delivering to
England private letters that had passed
between NJ. Ribot, late prime minister
and minister of foreign affairs, and the
French minister to Egypt and between
NJ. RibOt and the French ambassador at
Constantinople. He produced list Of
names of the persons and the papers
whom he alleged England had bribed,
and the amount of money given as
bribes. He read, amid an uproar that
almost drowned his voice:
Temps, $4,000 francs; Edouard, LIE
Matin, $4,000 francs; LIE Jour, $1,000
francs; Rochefort, $4,000 francs; Glenn
enceau, $4,000.
At this point the uproar and confusion
in the chamber became tremendous.
The members from the Extreme Left
rose from their seats, and demands were
made that NJ. MillevOye leave the cham
ber, nj. MilleyOVe, however
Stood His Ground,
and, when semblance of order and
quiet was restored, he shouted;
1.-The whole thing is a scandal; Bar
deau received $4,000 francs"
Nj. Bardeau sprang to his feet, and
exclaimed: - eXpec ted the chamber
to vindicate my honor"
NJ Clemenceau and all the members
of the party of the DXtreme Left again
rose from their seats and hooted. After
a time they insisted that the rest of the
paper be read. NJ. Millevoye again
started to read. but M. De-
roulede, who is also Boulangist,
stated that 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 cham
ber condemn the documents as
spurious, and regretted the time that
had been foolisnly wasted listening to
their presentation. This was adopted
by practically unanimous vote. only
four members voting against it. while
4S9 voted in favor of it. Nj. Deroulede
retired to committee room. where he
spent lengthy period, refusing to re.
ceive his most intimate colleagues. NJ
Millevoye left the chamber, declaring
that he would resign his seat in order
that he might actindependently.
Regarded as Forgerfes
Most of the documents in NJ. Mile
voYe's possession are letters purporting
to have been signed by Hon. r. Lister,
secretary of the Britich embassy, some
time ago. Mr.. Lister was trans
ferred to Athens, however, about
year before the date borne by the
| letters. The letters are regarded gen.
orally as barefaced, clumsy forgeries.
| When M. Milleyoye referred to that
part of a certain letter which mentioned
a projected alliance between the United
States and Russia, the whole chamber
shouted, laughed aud jeered, and NJ
Develle remarked that the whole mat
ter was evidently damnable hoax.
