Brussels, Jan. 25.-Deputy Demblon
entered the vestibule of the chamber of
deputies this afternoon accompanied by
a band of socialists. The officer in
command of the guard informed him
that in pursuance of the presidents or
der, he could not be allowed to enter,
whereupon NJ Demblon raised cries of
''Vive TArmie,' - ''Vive rRepublique." A
crowd collected and attempted TO rush
the soldiers, with the result that there
was a scuffie, the troops withStanding
the mob with fixed bayOnetS, and a
hand-to-hand fight taking place be-
tween the socialists and anti-SOcialists.
For d time the tumult was indescrlba-
BILE, and a strong body of police was re-
quired to quiet the disorder. Within
the chamber of deputies the greatest
excitement also prevailed. The social
lists demanded who was responsible for
the violence of the soldiers toward the
deputies. The tumult became deafen-

to reply We're shouted down.
There was further uproar in the house
when one of the Questors declared he
was responsible for the presence of the
troops in the chamber, adding. as a
warning to the socialists, that he would
always do his duty against them. NJ.
Vaudeville, socialist, denounced Pres

the QuestOrs, and asked why they had
ordered the socialists to be thrashed.
After a further disorderly scene, the
chamber rejected, by a vote of Sc to go,
a socialist motion condemning the ac-
ton of the officers of the house.

motive of self-interest, guiding and

MISLEADING STORY.
Associated Press Makes the Amende
Honorable.

New York, Jan. 25.-In these dis
patches on the night of Jan. is a state
ment was made that more than 30 I'M
faithful employees of the Adams Elk
press company. in this city, had been
discovered in recent peculations
amounting to a sum between $1,000 and
$1,000. This allegation grew out of
conversation between a reporter and
Attorney Abraham Levy, who gave as
his best impression at that time the
number and amounts above stated
Being prompted by the exact facts. Mr.
Levy, in fairness to the interests in
volved and TO himself, desires the
statement to be made that there ",
not al that time mentioned peculation
in the number indicated nor to the ex-
tent stated. The information sent on
the date named indicated that pecula-
tons were conducted systematically
among employees of the express com
pany, and this statement Mr.. Levy
feels is equally fair to himself to say
was not warranted by utterances of his
at the time.

KINGS PUBLIC LANDS BILL.
Adverse Report On Utah Measure
From Land Commissioner.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Commissioner
Hermann of the general land office
has made an adverse report on the bill
introduced by Representative King,
granting and ceding TO the state of
Utah, the public lands within its Dor
ders. The commissioner advances many
reasons for his belief that the proposed
cession would be foreign to the best in
terests of the people. Probably 200,0
600 acres of public lands have already
been given to states for various pur-
poses, and the use they have made of
them, he says, indicates that other sec
tiOns should be utilized for revenue and
not for the good of the Individual.
