IT WAS A TURBULENT SCENE.
DisgracefuI Actions in the Chamber
of Deputies.

Paris, Jan. 27.-There was a turbu-
lent scene in the chamber today and
the sitting was finally suspended by
the president.
Clovis Hughes interpellated the gov
eminent on the recent arrest of anar-
chists and reproached the government
with persecution as a pretext of sup
pressing the socialists.
Raynal, minister of the interior, re-
piled that the government only applied
the laws passed by the deputies and
| justified the seizures of correspondence
by extracts from the writings of Re-
clus. Raynal said it was difficult to
distinguish between the socialists and
the anarchists.
Then followed a scene that has rare
ly, if ever, been equalled in the cham
Der. Men cursed and Swore at each
other and shook their fists beneath
each others noses. Several breaches
of the peace occurred and one pugna-
cious deputy went so far as to chal-
lenge fellow member to decide the
differences by recourse to lie Savate.
M Thivrien, the so-called workman S
deputy" who has already made him
self notorious by wearing a blouse in
the chamber, became so excited that
he threw his cap in the air and shout
ed ''Vive la Commune, and a number
of commune EXPLANATIONS which en-
titles him to censure and expulsion
from the chamber.
| President Dupuy thereupon invited
the excited deputy to withdraw his ex-
preSSions.
M. Thivrien refused to do so in the
most violent language, and loudly re-
peated his Objectionable words several
times and in addition, making often
=, L.
This caused the president to firmly
request the deputy to leave the cham
! Der.
Then followed another scene of ex-
IRENE disorder, all the socialists ris-
| ing in their seats, gesticulating vio-
lently and uttering all kinds of loud
protesting cries and insulting remarks.
The Socialists then formed a circle
around M. Thivrien, who hurled de-
fiance at the president, positively re-
fusing to obey the order to leave the
chamber.
NJ Dupuy then had nothing left but
/ to suspend the sitting, and he so Or
dered, and also issued orders that the
chamber be cleared by the ushers, but
1 M. Thivrien, with 80 socialistic friends
continued his defiant attitude towards
the president and positively refused to
obey the ushers, who asked them to
vacate the seats and leave the cham
her
The president then instructed one OF
the officers on duty in the chamber to
call the colonel in command of he
guard stationed at the Palais Bour-
bon. Accordingly, the guard entered
the chamber at the head of a detach-
ment of soldiers and invited NJ Thiv-
r1en to obey the orders Of the presi-
dent to leave the chamber. but M
/ Thivrien still declined to vacate his seat
which caused the colonel to remark
that if he persisted in his refusal he
would order his removal by force. The
colonel then called upon a file Of SOL
dierS to surround M. HFhiVrien and he
was upon the poifto5f having him re.
moved by force, when the excited dep.
uty arose and slowly moved towards
the door, crying, "Vive la Commune
The cry was taken up. by the social
lists, and one of them, Valiant, repre-
senting the Twentieth reimbursement
of Paris, when the sitting was resumed
declared he and his friends were in
hearty sympathy with Thrivien. This
statement from Valiant caused deafen-
ing uproar, during which the socialists
were called "aSsaSSins, Communists, y
and other similar names.
Threats and oaths and terrible abuse
was heard on all sides.
Finally the president was obliged tc
ring the bell violently in order to OBJ.
tain silence, after which the order OF
the day, voting confidence in the gov.
eminent, carried by a vote of 40S tc
"a, amid additional uproar and ex-
element.
