DEPUTIES IN A ROW.
Voicing the Wild Threats of the
Commune.
President Dupuy Had to Call the
Guard to Clear the
Chamber.

| PARIS, Jan. 27.-There was turbulent
scene in the Chamber to-day, and the sit
ting was finally suspended by the Presi-
dent. Clovis Hughes interpelated the
/ Government on the recent arrest of an
/ archists. and reproached the Government
with persecution as pretext for suppress
ing Socialists.
Raynall. Minister OF the Interior, re-
piled that the Government had only ap-
piled the laws passed by the Deputies. and
justified the seizures of correspondence by
quoting extracts from the writings of
Reclus. Raynal said it was difficult to
distinguish between socialists and anaIch-
lists. Other speakers continued the de-
bate, and the session at last became so
turbulent that the President was COM
PEELED to order the sitting ended peremp-
toriIy.
Following the speech of Raynall there
came a scene that has rarely, if ever, been
equaled in the Chamber. Men cursed and
swore at each other; shock their fists be-
meath each others noses. Several breaches
of the peace occurred. and one pugnaciOus
Deputy went so far as to challenge a fell
low-member to decide the differences by
recourse to lie savate.
NJ. Tbivren, the so-called "workman's
Deputy" who has already made himself
notorious by wearing blouse in the Cham
Der, became SO excited that lie threw his
cap in the air and shouted: give la
commune" and a number of communistic
EXPLANATIONS which will subject him to
censure and even TO expulsion from the
Chamber
President Dupuy invited the excited
Deputy to withdraw the expressions. NJ
Thiveren refused TO do so in the most VIC
lent manner, and loudly repeated the OBJ
jectionable words several times and in ad-
dition made an offensive gesture toward
the President. This caused the President
to firmly request the Deputy to leave the
Chamber. Then followed a scene of ex-
IRENE disorder, all the Socialists rising IN
their seats. gesticulsting violently and ut
terlng all kinds OF loud protesting cries
and insulting remarks.
The Socialists then formed a circle
around NJ. Thlveren. who hurled defiance
at the President, positively refusing TO
obey his orders and leave the Chamber.
NJ. Dupuy then had nothing LETT but to
suspend the sitting. and he so ordered, aud
also issued orders that the Chamber be
ny ibS uSnSlS. W. INVITED. WiIE
thirty Sociaistic friends, continued his
de fl ant attitude toward the President and
positively refused to obey the ushers, who
asked the defiant members to vacate their
seats and leave the Chamber. The Presi-
dent then instructed one of the officers on
duty in the Chamber to call the colonel in
command Of the guard stationed at the
Palais Bourbon. Accordingly the colonel
of the guard entered the Chamber At the
head of detachment of soldiers ana in
vited NJ. Thiviren to obey the orders of
the Preside mt to leave, but N. Thiviren
still declined to vacate his seat, which
caused the colonel to remark that if be
persisted in his refusal he would order
him removed by force.
The colonel then called upon a file of
soldiers to surround NJ. Thiviren, and was
upon the point of having him removed by
force when the excited Deputy rose and
slowly moved toward the door crying
"Vive la Commune!" The cry was taken
up by the Socialists, and one of them, Val
laint, representing the Twentieth Arron-
basement Of Paris, when the sitting was
resumed, declared that be and his friends
were in hearty sympathy with Thiviren.
This state ment from Valiant caused a
deafening uproar, during which the Social
ists were called "Assassins." "Commun-
lists" and other similar names. Threats
and oaths and terrible abuse we're heard
on all sides, and finally the President was
obliged 10 rug his bell violently in order
to obtain silence. after which the order of
the day. voting confidence In the Govern
ment. was carried by vote of 408 to "a,
amid additional uproar and excitement.
Deputy Tniviren is excluded fIom the
chamber for fortnight, and in addition
will be deprived of half his salary.
