PERIER NO MORE APREMIER
The Chamber Votes Against Him on
the Eight Hour Bill.

Ghe premier Out of the Chamber
The Chamber Recognizes the Right
Of Employees of the State to Join
Labor orRanizations-The Minister
of Public Works Takes the Opposite
Position.
Paris, May 22.-Shere was great ex-
citement in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day, when Deputy Guesde introduced the
miners eight hour bill and demanded a
vote of urgency upon it. This demand
! adduced a food of stock socialist argu-
ments, in violent language denouncing
the bourgeoise employers, treatment of
miners as slaves, human cattle, etc.
| These harangues were interrupted
by the members of the center,
but the socialists continued to
shrek retorts to the point made by the
centrists. Any one not used to the ways
of the French chamber might have ex-
pected that the strong language and
menacing gestures INDUCED in would lead
to hand-to-hand encounters, but they did
not.
The cabinet opposed the demand for
urgency, and finally, after a tumultuous
! SN~AACf eiC jill NtASf ny a NOlS VI tU1 10 II,
referred to the ordinary labor committee.
THE MINISTERS RESIGN.
Premier Casimir-Perier d emanded the
order of the day pure. and simp le, and the
demand was rejected by a vote of 265 to
| 125. All of the ministers thereupon with
/ drew at once Casimir Perier took the
defeat of the ministry calmly, turning his
face in the direction of his colleagues and
| laughing as he was leaving the chamber
After the departure of the ministers
| from the chamber NJ. de Ramel's order
! of the day, recognizing the right of en-
/ ployes OF the state to join workmens s
! sYndicates, was carried by vote of 251
! to 223 and the chamber adjourned until
/ Monday.
NOISY DISPLAY.
The radicals made a Enthusiastically
| noisy display of their joy at the defeat of
/ the government. AS the ministers left
! the chamber the radicals acted like a
crowd of school boys, clapping their
! hands, jumping up and down, shouting
/ and indulging in all sorts of antics, in
| dicative of delight. Several deputies
| rushed across the chamber and embraced
| M. Miller and M. Ouvre. The deafening
noise was heard outside, and more than
! anything else resembled the clamor of
| the bourse under unusual financial ex-
! citement.
The socialist deputies acclaimed their
victory with shouts of This is our re-
venge for the outrageous treatment of
| Thivrier' fthe communist deputy who
was arrested, and suspended for shouting
"Vive la Commune" in the chamber a few
| months ago..
M. de Rameps final words from the
rostrum were The government must not
/ take a democratic attitude at banquets
! and TbaD NybaO thpV to af
workingmen the right to join syndicates. 3"
THE GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE.
! The workingmen's syndicate under the
! law of 1888 had become a powerful and
terrorizing machine under socialist con
troll. The government had determined to
| repress the system and, therefore, by
| continuing NJ. du Puy's policy of closing
| the labor exchange, endeayored to pre-
| vent the railway mems congress. In
! pursuance of this policy, M, Jonnart,
| minister of public works, privately ad-
| yised the railway companies not to grant
! leaves of absence to men in their employ,
at the same time promising that the gov
| ernment would not afford to employees of
! the state railroads facilities to attend the
| congress.
| NJ Jonnart during the debate admitted
| that he had refused to grant leaves of alb
/ sence to the delegates, but urged in de-
/ l6tISC VI HIS dEOIOu biluG uG NOulu uOb
| allow servants of the state to form a
| syndicate against the mass of the tax
| payers of the nation. For other reasons
also he did not believe, he said that
servants of the state ought to belong TO
trades unions. Several moderates, in
Guiding NJ. Ouvre and M. Ramel, replied
! to M. Jonnart with intense warmth,
scathingly rebuking him for the senti-
ments he had uttered.
REsGGNATIoNs TENDERED.
Tonight the ministers proceeded in a
body to the Palais d'Elysess and formally
rendered their designations to President
Carnot.
AS they left the chamber the socialists
shouted: "Long live the social republic, -
and Long live the commune"
Some spectators say that M. CGsimir
Perier clapped his hands for Joy when
the vote against the government was an
nounced. Whether he did or not, it is
certain that he welcomed the defeat.
Had he gone to the rostrum and spoken
few words when he demanded the order
of the day, pure and simple, the
crisis would doubtless have been averted.
His attitude tends to confirm the almost
general belief that he rode for fall in
to-day's contest, as he seemed
to do in the recent Toussiant
debate, under the influence of
bLlG dppAOaNAAhE OAoCbAOh 1OA PACol7
dent Of the republic. He is appar-
emily convinced that the combined ef-
forts of his enemies TO upset his candidacy
for the presidency have recently
been covertly abetted by Presi-
dent Carnot, who thus has broken the
compact entered into when M, Casimir
Perier accepted the premiership. On
that occasion M. Carnot promised that he
would not stand again for the presidency,
and that he would support in every way
in his power the candidacy of Nj. Casimir
Perier, who thus would almost inevita-
| bly, become the next president of the re-
public.
POLITICIANS MAKING COMBINATIONS.
Politicians are busy making new COM
binations, but nothing definite is kno wn
as to what will be done. Probably the
late ministry may be reorganized, with the
weak elements eliminated, including NJ.
,Jonnart, whom rumor says Casimer
Perier dubbed simpleton for addressing
the chamber in the way he did. On the
other hand it is believed that none of the
men capable of mastering majority of
the center will undertake the task of
forming cabinet and that
consequently there must be
either republican concentration
cabinet, with NJ. Loubet or a similar
leader as premier, or a ministry from the
members Of the left, whose coalescing
with section of the right brought about
fba eroverumant defeat today In the
