 Paris. July 25-The debate on the anti-anarchist bill was resumed in the chamber of deputies to-day. NJ. Hum bert. socialist. supported m amend ment to the press clause allowing the publication of the preliminary points oi a trial as to whether the accused was an anarchist or not. The amendment was rejected. 22l to l3o.

 Several radical members spoke against the bill. dwelling especially up. on its incoherency and absurdity.
 The paragraph in article 5 inflicting the penalty of fine and Imprisonment for publishing reports of anarchist trials was adopted.
 Nm. Charpentier. radical socialist and Herbert. rallied revolutionist, vain ly opposed the paragraph of the same article infiicting punishment for pub fishing indictments or documents com- prising parts of cases and 1t was adopt ed by vote of 314 to 147.
 M. Viviant. socialist, proposed a mo- tion that in cases where prosecu- tors speech or accusatory evidence on behalf of defendant should also be punt. lhable. The motion was rejected, 30f 142.

 An amendment to prohibit the appli- cation of fragrant delft procedure enab- ling the arrest, trial and sentence of a malefactor within twenty-four hours was rejected.
 M. Jaures. union republican, denounc- ed the continuous and Ssystematic amendments. lie violently, .assasl, ed the majority, which, he de- clared. was composed of inciters to anarchy. Ministers, senators, and deputies. he charged. had trafficked with legislation, received bribes and taken part in scandalous f. nancial schemes. He minutely dissect- ed the politico-f1nancial history of the French parliament, which he said was among the social and moral influ- ences that were predisposing France to anarchy. The chief examples which the upper classes had afforded the peo- pie were those of corruption. The pre- mier had defined anarchy as the scornful negation of all authority and universal suffrage. What, he asked, were the engineers and abettors of the Panama canal fraud, the story of which is told in the ruins of the enter prise and the bones of the men who were left in Panama the victims of that murderous speculation, which had been favored by majority of parlia- ment. Anarchy. he said. had taken root in these outrages and fiourished through social and political rottenness. Repression of free thought and free speech would never cure the evil. A purer state of society and freedom of utterances were the best remedies.
 Since the death of Gambetta M. Jau- res said, the republicans had been abandoning his attitude and had be- come passive instruments in the hands of great financiers. like the Rothschilds, and others. In support of this assertion he gave as an instance an outline of the privileges accorded to the Bank of France, as had been mentioned by M Burdeau (formerly minister of finance, and now president of the chamber of deputies.) At this point M. Burdeau briefly reminded the chamber that when the last conversion of rentes was effected no intermediary had been al lowed between the state and the small bondholders. M. Jaures resuming his speech taunted the members of the gov ernment with having favored the Pana- maists. It was not the fault of the so- cialists. he said. that the inquiry had not been carried out.
 At fling at him M. Rouvier ex. claimed: T have fear of nothing either from parliament or the law"
 A scene of great excitement and up- roar then ensued, and when order was restored M. Deschanel. union republi- can. replied to M.Jaures. He blamed the and socialists for the prevail ing moral and social disorder The chamber had heard NM. Millerand. Jaures and Guesdee excusing and there by fomenting anarchy. and had seen yesterday an example of the ideas of propriety entertained by the socialistdeputies in their rising to their feet and applauding unseemly pro- tests emanating from the press gallery.
