ShrieLs, Threats. AID Challenges in
the French Chamber.

IL 10 usually ia the meloIramauc FORM,
and occasionally. II enc g. 20 believe the
Paris newspapers. excitement rises TO
pitch 10 whlcl nothing in this country
is 10 be- compared unless il IS the pro
ceedings at primary convention in
downtown district OF this city. IL would
arouse considerable criticism in this coun-
try If the representative in congress stood

speakers, occasionally varying the per-
Torrance by directing their vocal ener-
sies toward one another in oaths aud
vitupera;ions emphasized by much stamp

while She presiding officer added TO the
tumui5 10y franucally ringing a big ben.
Yet this Is what happened recently in
the French Chamber Of Deputies.
The occasion was hardly fitting for
such demonstration. The question be-
fore the house was an appropriation FOR
national funeral fer Marshal Canro-
bert.
The b!H was introduced by the new min
lister Of war ami then there was trouble.
a young deputy named hubbard arose
to object. He excited the emotions OF his
listeners one OF tho Paris journals says,
by citing texts and PAPERS without prov
ms anything. bringing up unpleasant
memories. and induigi1g in tht most
bitter recrimina tions without establishing
single n1int" Finally he concluded.
After events such as these there is &C
casicn only for silence
Anything but silence greeted this re-
mark. and Af. RhOt, president of the
council shouted:
"You ought TO keep stin them
~ this tho centre and right shrieked
with glee. M Hubbard started To reply
but was interrupted by piercing yells
from those who had just been applauding.
These wells Wer. intended To indicate dis
approval. H. Hubbard lifted his voice
TO meet them. and a contest Of vocal
powers cnsued. Some of the extreme left
jumped up or the seats and, brancishing
their fists in the air called down the ven
Eeance Of the powers upon the Interrupt
ters just as NJ Hubbard was beginning
to make himself heard some enterprisine
deputy leaped toward the ceiling ana
hurled at him an unpleasant epithet that
rang out loud and clear above the uiu-
NJ Br.sson. the chairman, seized his big
bell. designed as a call TO order. and be
gan solo upon it of which only disjontcd
notes could be heard. Finally IT was dis
covered that H. Hubbard. who was pur-
pie in the face with the energy of his
speech, was making remarks derogatory
to thc late marshal. This made him UNI
popular. AMI a few hints from his hearers
appraised him of the fact.

J Then he sat down. wild roar of obJur-
cation greeted his retirement. NJ Ribot,
/ who had been saving his voice for the oc-
/ casion, arose and said:
"The government. which is the govern
! ment of France
"Down with him! Police. Separate

NO; mo- Yes yes, Down with him
Traitor Coward Hurrah for Canro-

"DinG-dong, Ding-dong, sounded the
big bell in the skillful hands of Chairman
/ Brisson.
When ". Hubbard rose to reply the best
he could do was TO give q fifteen minutes
that during that fifteen minutes they
heard his voice, but they cannot swear TO
IL, because eVeryhodv's voice was strained
TO ite utmost. Vicomte d Hughes made
himself conspicuous by climbing upon the
top Of his seat and in the midst Of an
impassioned fight of profane oratory, fall
ing with great force upon the neck of a
political opponent. who Immediately de-
manded an apology or blood. But the
vicomte had no time for personal quarre Is.
His duty was TO his country. and nc per
I formed IL by reascending and shrieking at
N Hubbard every epithet that o fertile
mind could invent. It was just here that
n. Brisson broke the bell-ringing record
bv Changing his instrument for twenty
minutes without cessation. in hopeless
struggle to restore order. Then finally
+ comparative quiet was restored In the
words Of the poet:
There was silence supreme. not shrek
or q scream,
Scarce even a howl or a groan.
NJ. lie Herisse rose to reply to allegations
that Marshal Canrobert had been respon-
sible for the capitulation of Metz. He
said that Canrobert was merely subordi-
nate officer, and had to obey orders. but
he said it hardly loud enough TO be heard
because so many other people were say
ing so many other things much loud
err Then NJ. Brisson laid aside his bell
and took up his voice He characterized
Canrobert as that glorious soldier who
has defended his flag in all the countries
of the world"
"Hurrah! Hurrah for Canrobertr'
shouted one faction.

A scene Of wild confusion followed The
deputies rushed up and down the floor
shaking threatening hands under contenp-
tuous noses. They yelled, they shrieked
they swore and blasphcmed, and called
names They insulted one another mortal
~ and vowed before another sun set that
they would drench the soil of France In
