scene in the chamber to-day and the sit
ting was finally suspended by the presi-
dent. Clovis Hugues in,erpellaied the
government on the recent arrest of the
anarchists and reproached the govern
mcnt with persecution as preteXt of
suppressing the socialists. Raynall,
minister of the interior, replied that the
government applied only tho laws passed
by the deputies and justified the seizures
of correspondence by quoting extracts
from the writings of Reclus. Raynall
said il was diNcult TO distinguish be-
tween socialists and anarchists. Other
speakers continued the debate and the
session became so turbulent that the
president was compelled TO order the sit
ting suspended peremptorily.
