| PARIS, Jan. 26.-The discussion of the
| budget was continued in the chamber to.
day. When the subject of appropriations
| for the ministry of the interior was
preached N. Millevoye made bitter at
tack upon foreigners, particularly foreign
| newepapermen in Paris. He said adven-
turers from peoples inimical to France had
been allowed to make this country the
scene of their dishonest schemes and had
thriven at the expense of loyal Frenohmen.
The government should proceed energetic
ally against all who had come from abroad
to exploit French industry and genius.
The first persons to be punished ought to
be certain news agents, who, while pre-
tending merely to conduct legitimate news
paper bureaus were, in fact, creatures of
foreign capitalists and practically politi-
cal agents, and made business of
spreading ISLANDERS concerning France
N. Millevoye spoke of the at
tacks upon Baron Mohreheim, Russian
ambassador in Paris, and of the report
that Emperor Franz Joseph had sighted
the French ambassador, as illustrations of
the Observation-Disclosures of some foreign
newspaper agents. He referred to the
edi,irg Of the Ems despatch by Prince
PiG,t, web two &c 10
consea uence of diffusipg false reports. In
reply to NJ. Millevoye, NJ. Ribot said the
government would act quickly to protect
every ambassador in Paris against the
libels of the press. This had been shown
by the swifsness of justice to punish the
traducers of Baron Mohrenheim. The
government would consider n. Millevoye's
suggestions, but must study the affairs of
the news agency before acting.
Leopold Flcquet described the indigna-
ton of the French at the slanderous re-
Elections upon the representative of Frances
friend. the car. The purpose of the at
tack upon Baron Mohrenheim, he said bad
been to alter the friendly relations existing
between Russia and France. Such tactics
had precipitated the war of 1870, and this
time might have fully as serious conse-
quenoes. France should protect herself
against the news agencies in question.
Several other deputies supported the views
expressed by M Millevoye and M.Flourens.
Albert Cohiohe, BoulaDgist, opposed the
voting of the secret service fund on the
ground that the fund was used for the po-
litical purposes of the government in
power. M. Ribot replied that the fund
was Indispensable, and at present especial
ly. Efforts were making to incite the peo-
pie to open antagonism to the republic, and
these efforts would not be relaxed until
after election. Protests from the right |
The government could not spare any part
of the fund, and would regard the vote on
the question as vote of confidence. As
regarded the disposition of the fund the
deputies must trust the probity of the gov
eminent. The statement IS to the vote of
confidence caused a stir among the depu-
investigation of the Panama scandal.
LIE Provost de Launy declared that the
government had evinced no desire to probe
the Panama scandal and had been forced
only by the popular demand to move the
machinery of justice.
The confusion which grew during this
speech became an uproar when Paul
Deschanel deprecated the reflections upon
the governments intentions and demanded
that the Boulangist Delahaye name the
deputies whom he had described as recipi-
ents of brides.
M. Delahaye replied: "Most of you
know who they are. 1t is generally ac-
knowledged that 154 deputies were cor
rupted."
"Name them, name them" came from
all sides of the chamber.
II am not here to name them" answered
NJ. Delshaye. "It Is for the law to discover
their names"
NJ. Bourgeoise, minister of justice, said
that M. DeIahsye had had abundant oppor-
tunities to name the 1854 deputies in quss-
ton. The machinery of the law was in
motion and the government had done It's
| utmost to sift the Panama scandal. Ii.
Delshsye and his friends could not but
know, however, that the law was unable
to deal with charges which could not be
| proved. Cheers from the left
Augustine de Romel said that the officers
of the law were already preparing to dis
miss the charges of corruption against
members of the chamber on the ground
| that sufficient evidence was lacking. Why
sufficient evidence was lacking all but the
wilfully blind could sse. The proofs could
be got, but the government seemed to have
no desire to get them.
NJ. Bourgeoise protested Indignantly
against M. Ramers insinuations. The Law
was impartial, he said, and ought to be re-
| spected.
M. Ribot made final appeal for the go
cret service fund. Nobody, he said, should
be allowed to accuse 1854 deputies of cor
ruption.
