UPROAR IN The CHAMBER.
Frances Deputies in a Frenzy Of EX-
Citemelt.

OepuIy Jaures makes violent At
tack on the Majority, Accusing Them
of Inciting Anarchy by Their Shame
less Corruption-He Accuses Rou-
vier of Having Fostered Corruption.
Rouvier Sends His Seconds to So
eialist Deputy Jourdan.
Paris, July 25.-The seconds selected
respectively by Deputy Denoud and Jean
Drault of the socialist journal La Libre
Parole have agreed that there is no
ground for duel between the two gentle
men.
The debate upon the eanti-anarchist bill
was resumed in the Chamber of Deputies
to-day. Amendment after amendment
offered by the socialist deputies was
voted down. Finally M Jaures, union
republican, denounced the continuous
and systematic rejection of the
amendments. He violently as
sailed the majority, which he
declared was composed of meters
10 anarchy. Ministers, senator's and
deputies, he charged, had traficked in
legislation, received bribes and taken
part in scandalous financial schemes. He
minutely dissected the politico-f financial
history Of the French parliament, which,
he said, was among the social and moral
influences that were predisposing France
to anarchy. The chief examples which the
upper classes had offered the people were
those of corruption. The premier had de-
fined anarchy as a scornful negation of
all authority, and universal suffrage
What. he asked, were the engineers and
abetters of the Panama canal frauds, the
story of which is told in the ruins of the
enterprise and the bones of the men left
in Panama, the victims of that murderous
speculation which had been favored by
majority of parliament. Anarchy, he says,
had taken root in these outrages and
tiourished through social and political
rottenness. Repression of free thought
and free speech would never cure the
evil A purer state society and freedom
of utterance were the best remedies.
GAMBETTA's STANDARD ABANDONED.
Since the death of NJ. Gam beta, M
Jaures said, the republicans had been
abandoning his attitude and had become
passive instruments in the hands of
great financiers, like the Rothschilds and
gave as an instance an outline of
the privileges accorded to the bank
of France, as had been mentioned
by NJ. Burdeau formerly minister of
finance and now president of the chamber
of deputies
AT this point NJ Burdeau briefly re-
minded the chamber that when the last
conversion of rentes was effected, no in
termediary had been allowed between the
state and the small bondholders.
NJ. Jaures resuming his speech, taunted
the members of the government with
having favored the Panamaists 1t was
not the fault of the socialists, he said,
that the inquiry into the scandals and
the subsequent prosecutions had been
fully carried out.
MIR. Jaures then alluded to the venalitv
of the press, which, he said, was deriving
monthly subsidies from financial
houses. The ministry was profiting
through the consequent muzzling of
the Yenal press. The country knew
this and was disgusted with the
venal press. The independent organs
could not be silenced by bribes, so an at
tempt was being made to silence them
Rouvier Of having fostered corruption,
but President Bardeau intervened and
warned M. Jaures that personalities would
not be permitted.
RoUBIER SHOUTS DEFIANCE.
M. Roubier sprang TO his feet and ex-
claimed: Il have fear of nothing, either
from parliament or this law"
A scene Of excitement and uproar en-
sued. and when order was restored NJ.
Deschanel, union republican, replied to
NJ. Jaures. He blamed the radicals and
socialists for the prevailing moral and So
cial disorder. The chamber had heard
M Millerand, M. Jaures and M. Guesdee
excusing, and thereby fomenting, an
archy, and had seen yesterday an exam
pie OF. the ideas of parliamentary pro-
priety entertained by the socialist
donr,fiac in al vie 70 60
applauding unseemly protests emanating
from the press gallery.
The president here intervened and the
incident was suppressed, the president
suggesting it would be better not to men
tion it in the official journal.
Joseph Jourdan, socialist deputy, pre-
cipltated a new disturbance a few mo-
ments after the dispute between M. Des-
chanel and M. JaureS. He asked M. Des-
chanel if he had not been willing to enter
the Rouvier club.
RoUvIER IN FRENZY.
M. Rouvier, who had been excited al
most to frenzy by the illusions to his
part in the Panama scandal, did not give
Nj Deschanel a chance to reply, but
roared at NJ. Jourdan: Remember who
you are. NJ. Deschanel was a politician
when you were earning a living in any
way you could get it."

attack from so low quarter"
The president called him to order
Flinging up his hands, NJ. Jourdan re-
piled: This call to order Mr.. President.
will weigh heavily upon you one of these
days"
NJ. Rouvier followed NJ. Jourdan in the
speakers tribune. He clothed his de-
fense in vehement language, often point
ing to his accuseFs as he flung off an ey-
ceptionally bitter phrase, and thus excit-
ing more leers and taunts.
Immediately after adjournment the lob
bies were filed with deputies, discussing
NJ Jourdan's attack upon NJ. Rouvier
NJ. Jourdan was the center of heated
group of socialists, who held his hands
and cheered him
M. Rouviers friends surrounded him
and kissed him repeatedly.
There was a brief consultation, which
resulted in NJ. Rouvier sending his sec
