which required the arrest or M. Edmond
Magnier formerly senator Of the Var and
recently editor in chief of The Evenement
who was recently sentenced to n years
Imprisonment for having received part of
the profits OF the syndicate. Continuing
the minister Of justice said that whenever
the government believed it had incrimin-
Hting evidence it had prosecuted the parties
involved No deputy, he added, was in
cludeI among the guilty parties
Amid continual Radical Interruptions
NJ. Trarieux managed to say in addition
that several names were known to the
government as having figured in the re
port OF the expert, NJ Flory, who made an
inquiry into the finances of the South of
France railroad. He was interrupted by
excited cries for names.
In reply NJ. Trarieux said "Rouvier,
jules Roche, EJenne, Dolancle, Bardoux
ond others"
When he was able to make himself
heard the minister of justice added that
the majority OF those whose names had
been mentioned had explained their po-
siton, and he concluded with the remark:
The chamber knows the truth, and if
parliament considers its dignity and honor
compromised the government will join the
chamber in voting for repressive measures,
and in the face of these explanations asks
the chamber for vote of confidence"
The order of the day, pure and simple,
was then submitted to the chamber and
rejected by vote of 406 to 105
NJ Haberts then moved that the cham
ber agree to prohibit members Of paria-
ment from joining in financial syndicates.
The motion was accepted by the premier,
NJ. Ribot, and was adopted unanimously.
Later NJ Rouanet submitted motion
demanding that full light be thrown on
the South of France railroad scandals, ask
ing the government to prosecute all those
who have been found to be implicated in
them, and submit to the chamber the re-
port of the expert who inquired into the
finances of the company.
NJ Ribot thereupon said 1t was useless
to submit the experts report, and as to
the prosecutions, he added, the work of
justice had been accomplished and could
not be reopened.
NJ Rouanet's motion asking for an eX-
| PLANTATION as to the partiality which had
/ been shown towards those involved in the
scandals, claiming that the authorities
/ had been afraid to prosecute them, and de-
manding that the minister of justice pub
! lish the documents in the case, which We're
! in his possession, was then adopted by u
| vote of 275 to 1856.
After the adoption of this motion the
ministers left the chamber of deputies in a
body amid ironical Radical cheers, and
went to the Elysee Palace where they
handed in their designations to President
Faure. The designations have been ac-
cepted and the chamber of deputies has
adjourned for a week,

The Figaro recently said that the fol-
] lowing named members of the chamber of
deputies who were members of the South
of France railway syndicate made the
profits set against their names jules
Roche "a, 900 francs; M Rouvier, 600
francs; NJ. Etienne, 3,O0) francs; NJ, Do
lancle, 600 francs; NJ, Passy, 900 francs;
NJ. LeMercier, 4 500 francs.
The Figaro added chat these deputies
were not prosecuted because the official
accountant, NJ. Flory, was of the opinion
tlat the formation of the syndicate was
perfectly regular, and, therefore, its mem
bers were not guilty of corruption.
