ON THE VERGE OF DEFEAT.
The French Cabinet Narrowly Escapes n
Crisis In the Chamber.

PARIS, Dec. l7.-Almost without warning the
Cabinet was brought TO the verge OF a crisis in
the Chamber late this afternoon. The appro-
priation to the Legion OF Honor was under dis
cussion. VI. Rouanet. Socialist for a metropoli-
tan district, made this item the peg on which to
hang a violent harangue concerning bourgeois
ideas OF honesty and the class of men selected
for high honors in the republic. Finally he
proposed that the Government instruct the
Council of the Legion of Honor to remove from
the rolls the names of all who had been COM
promised by the Panama and other scandals.
Amid protests and confusion he mentioned
the engineer Eiffel, who was convicted in the
Panama trials, but subsequently, was acquitted,
and was socially w~hitewashed during the recep-
tion of the Russian naval officers in Paris.
NJ. Guerin. Minister Of Justice. and NJ. Poin-
care. Minister of Finance, spoke In the name Of
the Government against the motion. The vote
was taken amid growing excitement and confu-
sion. The ultra-Radicals were still protesting
vehemently tina. the ballot box had been closed
so as to shut out their votes, when IL was an
nounced that the motion had been rejected, by
239 TO 23i.

The Debate In the ReIchstag Adjourned for
Want Of % Quorum.

BERLIS. Dec. 17.-In the Reichstag to-day Dr.
Nieberding. Secretary of State for the Imperial
Office OF Justice, opened the debate on the Anti
Revolutionary bill. He advised the Chamber
not TO be guided by "reminiscences of former
bills: should the present measure, which was
not directly aimed at the Socialists. but rather
at subyersive move ments In general. be rejected,
he said the Government would be Obliged to
demand exceptional powers similar to those de-
manded in 1873.
Herr Frohme. Social Democrat, repeatedly
interrupted the speaker and was called to order
by President Won Levctzow. who requested OBJ
servance of the utmost order Throughout the
debate.
Upon the conclusion OF DR.. Nieberding's
speech Herr Singer. Socialist. raised the ques-
ton that there was no quorum present, and de-
manded a count of the House. He declared that
the discussion OF q bill OF so much Importance
required "A full attendance of members,
\ count was taken. and disclosed the fact that
only 1853 members were present. President Won
LevetZow therefore consented to postpone the
debate, and fixed the time for its resumption at
Jan. =, remarking that he was very sorry his do

been so abruptly Obstructed.

LoNDoS, Dec. ia despatch to the Star,

that Robert Louis Stevenson, the novelist, died
suddenly a few days ago from apoplexy. His
body was buried on the summit OF Paa Noun
tain. 1,30o feet high.
The Weamfnster Gazette, in an article on the
death OF Robert Louis Stevenson. says that, al
though Mr.. Stevenson was anything but apo
plectic. there Is little doubt that his sad and
untimely end was due to apoplexy induced by
the heat of the climate. He left a new novel
half completed. The Gazette says he was among
the most loveable Of modern writer's. and the
news Of his death will be heard with the keen
est regrets. Perhaps no author Of recent year.
has enlisted so much personal interest on the
part Of his readers.
